According to an article on Business Daily,
the writer illustrates this with a child in his neighborhood who does not play very well with the others; he cries when others play unfairly or when they do not understand or do not do what he wants. He also questions everything and tries to do things his own way first before asking for help. He gets engaged when he finds a lock and tries all he can to open it, with or without a key. I often hear his playmates call him “bad boy” when he gets obsessive over his thoughts.”

When I read this article I thought of
myself. All this time I had difficulty coping with other kids at school
and accepting others opinions so easily. little did I know that I had
the potential of being an entrepreneur. I am sure some parents have
observed some of these things that I will mention here.
According to Forbes, Entrepreneur and Inc. com magazines,
successful entrepreneurs possess different characteristics from “normal”
people.
Here are some surprising signs that parents might want to look out for and try to nurture in their children for early success.
1. Open minded:
They do not think within lines that have been drawn out. They set out
to find an opportunity anywhere and everywhere. They like to do things
that others have not thought of doing or are scared of doing. Like crazy
mountain climbing, trying to overcome huge waves while surfing, or sky
diving.
2. Rebels or labelled rebels:
When a child is constantly in trouble at school and not because of
drugs or fighting, but because they keep breaking some rules but not
harming anyone, this is not a problem. It can be properly managed so
that it does not get disruptive but also help nurture the child to
channel his thinking for positive results. Entrepreneurs break the rules
and would want to defy anything if they could.
3. Very little attention span:
Some children cannot concentrate on this thing for a specific time, or
this child cannot play one game for too long. The truth of the matter is
that the child might just be bored of what he is doing and might need
an alternate game, different way of carrying out the task or a totally
different assignment that will keep him interested. Entrepreneurs get
bored easily and they tend to lose interest in assignments that are not
up to their capabilities.
4. Seek company or persons to work with:
Being an entrepreneur is not easy and successful ones know that. In
fact, entrepreneurs could be more scared to start a business solo and
leave employment more than is obviously discussed or shared.
They are completely scared of going solo; so if you are scared or see
someone scared of making a solo move, do not let that beat your ego. It
is normal to be scared and even a good telling sign that one does not
think they can do everything on their own and can turn into
micromanaging which will not be a good thing for the venture you are
trying to get into or the business you are running.
5. Obsessive and assertive:
When you see a child is obsessed with his own task, let him be.
Entrepreneurs obsess over their ideas despite resistance from people,
even close to them to realize their dream.
Quit worrying, your child is fine.
