Everyone loves a top ten list, and over at StartupSpark.com they’ve come up with the Top 10 Ways You Know You’re An Entrepreneur.

We have a few favorites we’d like to address:

Our favorite point, and what we think makes a true entrepreneur is You’re dreaming miles ahead while focused on what you’re doing right now. Succeeding Steps has a calling. We consult with small and niche business owners to form branding concepts and execution of those concepts all over the web. While any business planning needs to focus on “now” and “five years from now” simultaneously, we do this not only for ourselves, but every client we have. That’s why we rock, in case you were wondering.

The second point they list that really resonates with us is You’re a strategist. Have I told you yet how much the staff of Succeeding Steps dug playing Risk when we were younger? Okay, you got us…we still play Risk…just don’t tell anyone, okay? We don’t want our coolness quotient harmed. At the very least we don’t want it harmed any more than it already is. We’re afraid the Linux penguin is going to give us a wedgy any minute here.

The final point I’d like to address is probably the most important for any entrepreneur, solopreneur, or small business owner. You want to live your work. There is nothing we like better than seeing our client’s work recognized by online and local press. We love to be an integral part of every step of the branding and business planning process. This way we can give you a branding solution that truly fits your needs, not our tastes.

So are you an entrepreneur? How many of the top 10 do you relate to? Leave a comment and let us know…we’d love to hear from you!
