Or your napkins don’t match because they evolved from a collection that evolved from various eateries around the office (along with some of the utensils) or when it is absolutely necessary, you break down and buy a handful of coffee cups from the dollar store to impress your clients when they visit. You might be an entrepreneur if…you know that the landlord is selling the high end class ‘C’ office building and that because the building is under contract you may get that space for a conference room you have had your eye on for the last 6 months. His hands are tied and he can’t enter into a new contract while the building is under contract and he wants to show the potential owners that he has a full building…on and on… . Or convince the landlord that you could help him by taking those glass top computer desks off of his hands for .15 cents on the dollar (I’ll take 4 of those please). And those bills, how about the negotiation (groveling) to the credit card holder to remove those stiff late charges that appear if you are 2 minutes past due? Or paying the rent on time plus or minus 5 days (most often minus) and knowing that you will be placing that phone call to let the landlord know that the ‘check is in the mail’? I love the series “You might be an entrepreneur if…” It reminds me that I am not the only one and yes, there are others out there. Keep it up!
