Is Self Employment for You? Take This Simple Test to Find Out

I’m working with a group of small business owners and new entrepreneurs going into business for themselves.  As they develop their business plan with me, I can sense their excitement as well as fear.

Because I have years of experience, I am able to quickly pinpoint what their strengths are.  I can also spot areas where they will struggle. 

I ran across a self assessment test for small business owners titled “Is Self Employment for You?” by Paul Casey. It’s a quick test to see how many skills you have that generally point toward being a successful entrepreneur. I scored 94; this is the “good to very good” scale. It also pointed out the areas where I need improvement.

Personally, I need to work on making decisions more quickly and easily, including executing tasks and organization. One message I consistently give to my clients is to focus on their strengths, outsource what they don’t do well, and improve on the core business competences they are missing. I’ll take my own advice and work on the areas where I need to improve. 

Take the test yourself here (it takes just a few minutes) and let me know how you did.  I would love to hear your comments and feedback on what you discover.
