You may be an entrepreneur

...if you sleep like a baby -- and wake up in the middle of the night crying.

...if you can't believe you're so far in debt.

...if you've ever had to scramble to find a lot of money in a short time.

...If you wonder if there was a time in your life when things were simpler -- and will they ever be again.

...if you are sure no one understands how tough it is.

...if you pull out your first business plan and read it to get a good laugh.

...if you spend a lot of time sweet-talking vendors and leaning on late-paying customers.

...if the high point in your week is the day that most checks show up in the mailbox.

...if you've ever paid a tax deposit late so you could make payroll or pay a critical vendor.

...if you can't believe the resultant penalties and interest on the late tax deposit.

...if your emotions go from enormous highs to incredible lows in the span of a few hours during your normal workday.

...if you've believed you're almost over the hump to then find the next hump is even higher.

...if you panic when a man in a suit walks in your front door and you don't recognize him and don't have an appointment.

...if you laugh hysterically when someone says how great it must be to have your own business and be your own boss.

...if you have a collection of your meager paychecks waiting to be cashed.

...if you refuse to quit.
