If you're an entrepreneur, you're weird.

It's ok, I'm weird too. 

Maybe "weird" isn't the right word.

How about we call ourselves "misfits"? 

We're misfits because:

- we refuse to conform to society's expectations that we work at a 9-to-5 job that we hate.

- we don't want our earnings, or our impact, capped by bosses.

- we eagerly "work 80 hours a week for ourselves, so we don't have to work 40 hours a week for someone else" (I love that quote) 

- we often choose to spend our Friday and Saturday nights at home working on our businesses - instead of heading out to the clubs to party with friends (or strangers). 

You know what?

It's ok. 

The older that I get, the less I care about being labelled by others. 

I've been in business for myself since I was 21, and I'll continue doing it until I'm 101 (fingers crossed that I make it that long). 

If you're the same weirdo as I am, you aren't alone. There are lots of us out there - including Dave Lukas, the host of the Misfit Entrepreneur podcast.  I had Dave on my show today, and we recorded a conversation between us two misfits.  Here's the link to listen in:
