Think You’re Cut Out to Be An Entrepreneur? Take This Quiz

When you’re an entrepreneur, you call the shots and live by your own rules. This freedom is one of the main reasons so many of us want to start our own business. But with this freedom comes responsibility and not everybody’s cut out for that.
 
Want to be an entrepreneur? Let this quiz help you decide!
 
   1.        Are you a self-starter?
When you’re an entrepreneur, you can’t wait around for someone else to tell you what to do. If you naturally take the lead, motivate yourself (and others!), and stay on task, you may have the essential qualities of an entrepreneur.
 
   2.        Do you have a knack for selling things?
Were you the type of kid always finding something to sell to boost your allowance? Are you the type of person always wheeling and dealing and hooking up your friends? If so, you’ve already got the makings of an entrepreneur.
 
   3.        Are you always coming up with ideas?
If you’re the type of person who’s always coming up with new ideas and plans (and acting on them!), this will help you achieve entrepreneurial success. Entrepreneurs are inventors. They create new things the world needs.
   4.        Are you driven?
Entrepreneurs wake up hungry to provide value to their target audience. This passion provides the motivation it takes to keep innovating, even when things get tough.
 
   5.        Are you the type of person who can’t take “no” for an answer?
Do you have trouble taking “no” for an answer? When that happens, do you feel frustrated that the other person doesn’t see the value you’re offering? This is a good mindset to have because you’ll face challenges during your journey and you’ll need to be persistent.
 
   6.        Are you growth minded?
How do you view failures and setbacks? If you can recognize that even the worst mistake can provide a valuable lesson, you’re on your way to becoming a successful innovator and entrepreneur.
 
   7.        How positive is your mindset?
Positivity is what helps entrepreneurs push through and succeed. They see everything as an opportunity and keep going in the face of adversity.
 
   8.        Are you comfortable with risk?
There’s always risk involved in any business venture. You’ll have to face risk often and not let it derail you.
 
   9.        Are you an information junkie?
Entrepreneurs need to be in the know about their audience, their business, and their industry. Knowledge is power when it comes to running a business. If you’re the type of person who absorbs information, this trait will come in handy.
 
10.        Do you communicate effectively?
​To be successful in business, clear and courteous communication is essential. You must be able to effectively communicate your ideas – one-on-one, in a group setting, and in writing. You also need to listen to others, so you can learn from them, acknowledge their point of view, and meet their needs.
 
How did you do? If you didn’t say “yes” to every question, don’t worry. People aren’t born entrepreneurs. To become one, there are simply several skills you need to learn. It’s something anyone can do with enough persistence and motivation.
