Quick Two Question Test to Determine If You are a True Entrepreneur
By JJ Thomas • Aug 29th, 2007 • Category: UncategorizedA simple quiz to tell if you’re an entrepreneur, from Steve Strauss, a lawyer and small-business expert:
Let’s say tomorrow you walk into your job and are given two weeks’ notice. Which best describes what you think your reaction would be:
1. “Oh no! What am I going to do? I have a mortgage, a kid to feed and bills to pay. I need to find another job, pronto.”
2. “Woo hoo! I’m free. I’ve always wanted to start my own business and thought I would be a bit more prepared when I did, but I guess now is as good a time as any.”
If your answer is No. 1, you are not a born entrepreneur, and of course, if your answer is No. 2, you are. The risk, adrenaline rush, insecurity and lack of structure that come with being fired fuel the entrepreneur.
