When did you realize that you had entrepreneurial flair?

When did you realize that you had entrepreneurial flair?

For me it has always been there -- the underlying desire to break out and do something different, something for me!

It may have started out as an sleepy muttering but by the time I hit thirty-one, I was ready.  At that point I decided to resign from my "work-a-holic paradise" and started a whole new life!

[Work-a-holic definition:  you work and work and work for someone else, you get the odd congratulatory hand-shake and the occasional bonus BUT after working a seventy hour work week NOBODY, including yourself, tells you it's time to go home!]

Now, what I did, resign without a definite plan? -- I wouldn't recommend this to anyone?

During the last month of my employ, I cleaned up all the bits and pieces I had been working on, I sat in on meetings to hire my replacement -- yes, I left on very good terms, and then I sat and thought to myself... "What on earth am I going to do now!"

At that point, the sleepy muttering entrepreneurial flair awoke within me and over the months to follow aspirations ascended and one year later my new business was starting to soar...  modestly, but soaring all the same.

What has your experience been?
