10 Signs You Might be a Young Entrepreneur…

Follow @amypkelly

If your babysitting or lawn-mowing business had a price structure
If you got in trouble for selling things out of your brother or sister’s room
If every game you played required Monopoly money
If you did not sink your opponent’s battleship, you tried to buy it
If you think everything you see on late night infomercials was your idea first
If you tried to negotiate with your teacher when reprimanded
If you sold anything in the halls of your school or out of the trunk of your car
If you organized your toys into target markets
If one year you were considered a “troublemaker” and the next year “the teacher’s pet”, and you considered it an experiment in branding
If you calculated the total cost of dates, clothing or other social events in terms of “return on investment”
