Knowing More About Entrepreneurial Addiction

By Misty Tyler


Many people do not know that there are so many people who can actually get addicted to the process of starting up a business and are not aware that they are actually already addicted. This kind of addiction is known as entrepreneurial addiction and may be the downfall of any businessman. Of course researchers would say that this is a real condition and there are symptoms.

Actually, this is quite a condition wherein one can get addicted to the process of opening up a business and just that. Now the reason as to why this would have a negative effect on people is because opening up a business itself can already take quite a toll. So one can just imagine what would happen if a person would just keep on opening up new businesses.

Now a person who has this condition would have multiple start ups during his career. Of course there would be a process that one would have to undergo before one can really start up his own business. So in other words, those who are experiencing this kind of condition are not in it for the money like normal entrepreneurs are but they just love the process.

Now these type of people would often suffer from something that is known as work anxiety. They are often known to exhibit very anxious behavior and would not think about anything except work. Of course they would naturally ignore other parts of their life like their health and maybe even their relationships.

Of course they are the type to start a certain project but never has the time and the energy to push through with the project and see it through the end. Now these people are characterized with the ability to think of many new and innovative ideas wherein they would want those ideas to take physical form. It is because of this reason that they would always leave their previous projects hanging to start another.

Of course businesses would have their ups and downs especially when they have just been started. Those who have this type of addiction are very moody and would throw a fit if there were any downturns in the process of the start up. They would often have an entrepreneurial version of the so called artistic temperament that artists would have if they cannot think of a new idea for their next masterpiece.

Now the worst characteristic of these type of people would be the way that they would handle money. They are so bad at handling money because they do not mind splurging and investing as well as they can make their vision come to life. Even if they have a shortage of money, they would still keep on spending and pumping in more money into the business until what they have in mind will already become a reality.

So by looking at the symptoms of this condition, one can actually see just how dangerous this can be for any businessman. Yes they are known to be extremely great and impressive innovators but they cannot be businessmen. They have the tendency to go extreme and to mismanage the business that they have started because of this condition that they have.
