Knowing More About 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 for those who do not know about this condition, it is actually a condition wherein one is addicted to opening up many businesses. Opening up a business takes a toll on the mind and the body of a person by the rush can be quite addicting. People suffering from this rush are the ones who are experiencing this type of condition or are otherwise known as compulsive businessmen.

Now one who would have this sort of condition would actually have a lot of businesses in his career. The only problem with this is that all of his businesses are actually left alone halfway. Now these people are actually not in business to make money but they would actually just like the rush of opening up a business and would love to see their ideas take on a physical form.

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.

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 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.
