How did you do? If you answered with mainly 2's

and 3's, you are on the right track to starting

your own business.

 

If you answered with any 1's then you really want

to look at the questions a bit closer. All of the

questions deal with everyday business matters.

Weaknesses in any of the business areas requires

additional help from outside sources or study on

your own to learn. Your strenghts will definitely

show in your business. Your weaknesses however,

will also be very very visible.

So how did everyone do?

 

When I did it I answer almost all 3's with a few

2's and only one 1. But then I also have my

business management degree already and have been

doing this for myself for 4 or 5 years. Prior to

that and after my military time was up, I was a

free-lance organizer for small businesses in a

very small town in New York.

 

I hate doing all that stuff but know it is stuff

that I have to be able to do or if I outsource it

I still must know enough to know that the people

I pay to do it are not cheating me!
