Here’s the real story. If you think it’s just about work-life balance, think again. There are a few quirks inherent in the entrepreneurial personality you should understand as entrepreneurs are their own breed of boyfriend or girlfriend.

On the flip side, they can also be neurotic or controlling. But they’re also beautiful in their own way.
