There are actually studies that would prove that this condition is real and there are symptoms attached to it.

Now this condition is one wherein one cannot seem to stop opening up different kinds of businesses without operating the previous one.The harmful thing about this addiction is that the psychological and emotional toll of opening up a business will affect these kinds of people more than other entrepreneurs. The thing that they are after is the rush of opening up a business and that only.

Now one who would have this sort of condition would actually have a lot of businesses in his career. The only problem with this is that all of his businesses are actually left alone halfway. Now these people are actually not in business to make money but they would actually just like the rush of opening up a business and would love to see their ideas take on a physical form.

Now probably the most common symptom of this condition would of course be anxiety. Those who suffer from this would always be anxious and would not want to talk about anything that is not work related. Of course this would lead to them neglecting their family, friends, or even their health for that matter.

Of course they are the type to start a certain project but never has the time and the energy to push through with the project and see it through the end. Now these people are characterized with the ability to think of many new and innovative ideas wherein they would want those ideas to take physical form. It is because of this reason that they would always leave their previous projects hanging to start another.

Another characteristic that these people have would be their very unstable temper. Now they are known to be very moody as they would often throw a fit or a tantrum if things do not go the way that they want it to go. They are actually just like artists who are having an artistic block.

Of course one of the worst symptoms of this condition would be their money handling skills. This means they can just keep on injecting money into putting up a new business because they want nothing more than to see all their ideas take form. Now they do not care even if they are suffering from financial struggles as long as they can feel the rush of opening up their business.

So as one can see, there is actually a real condition like this with real symptoms. Now the advantage these people would have would be that they have the best ideas that anyone can have. However, the disadvantage that they have would be that they do not know how to manage what they have made.
