1. You can’t bring yourself to call anyone “boss”.
2. You or any of your children can incorporate a business in your state in less than four hours.
3. Instead of saying “there oughtta be a law”, you say “there could be a business…”
4. You can’t stand to lose.
5. You can survive losing.
6. Some of your favorite people are VCs (condition applies only after obtaining at least one round of VC funding).
7. Some of your least favorite people are VCs (condition applies only after ATTEMPTING to obtain at least one round of VC funding).
8. You are most likely to start a new business immediately after thinking in the shower.
9. You have to take two zeros OFF the numbers in your business plan or no one will believe it.
10. You didn’t read this list because you already know what you are (and you don’t have time to read lists).
