The Symptoms Of Entrepreneurial Addiction

By Misty Tyler


People can be addicted to almost anything whether it would be drinking, smoking, exercising, or even something like opening up a business. Now the addiction to starting up businesses would be known as entrepreneurial addiction and is actually something that is very harmful. There are actually studies that would prove that this condition is real and there are symptoms attached to it.

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 people who would exhibit this kind of behavior would usually be found to have many start up businesses in one time period. They are actually not interested in running their own business. The one thing that they are interested in would be to see their ideas come to life and then will change to another business once they get bored with the previous one.

Now probably the most common symptom of this condition would of course be anxiety. Those who suffer from this would always be anxious and would not want to talk about anything that is not work related. Of course this would lead to them neglecting their family, friends, or even their health for that matter.

Another symptom that most people who are experiencing this type of thing would be the fact that they would start out projects but never finish them. These type of entrepreneurs have a sickness wherein they would launch a lot of brilliant new ideas and would definitely find a way to make them come to life. However, they would always leave their projects halfway in order to pursue a new one.

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.

Of course one of the worst symptoms of this condition would be their money handling skills. This means they can just keep on injecting money into putting up a new business because they want nothing more than to see all their ideas take form. Now they do not care even if they are suffering from financial struggles as long as they can feel the rush of opening up their business.

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.
