The Symptoms Of Entrepreneurial Addiction

By Misty Tyler


Many people are familiar with alcohol or drug addiction but not many people are aware that even something as productive as starting up a business can lead to an addiction. This sort of phenomenon is known as entrepreneurial addiction and can actually be quite dangerous. Many researchers say that this condition is real and there are actually symptoms that would lead to it.

Now this condition is one wherein one cannot seem to stop opening up different kinds of businesses without operating the previous one.The harmful thing about this addiction is that the psychological and emotional toll of opening up a business will affect these kinds of people more than other entrepreneurs. The thing that they are after is the rush of opening up a business and that only.

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 a person who exhibits this kind of this behavior are often very anxious and think nothing except work. In fact, they do not have anything on their mind that is not about their work. Because of this, they would tend to neglect other aspects of their life like their health, their personal life, or even their family.

Now these people would often like to start different projects but would never get around to finish them. They would just be in the heat of the moment wherein they will implement the idea but once they get bored, they will just junk the project in the middle. It is because of this that they will actually never get anything done because of this sickness that they would have.

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 symptom that a person addicted to starting up business would have would be their habit of investing and investing without thinking thoroughly. These people have absolutely no qualms about spending money to make their ideas come to life. Even if they are going through financial struggles, they do not mind just pushing in money to make their dream business come true.

So as one can see, there is actually a real condition like this with real symptoms. Now the advantage these people would have would be that they have the best ideas that anyone can have. However, the disadvantage that they have would be that they do not know how to manage what they have made.
