Running a business online "The Self Assessment Quiz"

This is one of those questions that gets in the way of having fun and being your own boss while running your very own business, but it is one of the most important questions you'll be faced with before you take that leap of faith into business ownership. Do you have what it takes ? It is easy to answer this question with a simple yes, while you're creative juices are flowing and you're thinking of all of the great ideas you have to make your business successful, but you know as well as I do that it takes much more than a great idea for a business to make it in this world. That is why I have put together this self assessment quiz to help you honestly evaluate your motivation for starting an online business and it will also possibly encourage you to closely examine your strengths and weaknesses.

1. How often do you reach your personal and career goals? How do you react if you are late for a deadline or simply do not complete tasks/goals at all?

2. Think of a time when you had to do whatever it took to fulfill a promise or to complete a goal. Would you go to similar lengths to fulfill the same task or promise if you were the boss and were running your own business? Would you be able to tell your family that you have to work this weekend to meet a deadline?

3. Would you rather concentrate on one project at a time or do you shine with many projects while searching for more?

4. Do you work best with an impossible deadline looming or do you prosper with more time than you think you need? How do you react when forced to work at a pace that is unnatural to your style?

5. Do you have faith that you can succeed at anything that you set your mind to? If not, what is standing in your way and what needs to be done to fix it?

6. Do you work better if you're by yourself or surrounded by people?

7. How do you envision your life five years down the road regardless of whether you start your own business or not? Can you imagine what life will be like in that time with or without the business?

8. If you make a decision that turns out to be wrong , how well do you recover? Do you admit that you made an error and accept responsibility? Do you correct it yourself or look to someone else to do the work?

9. How is your energy level?  Do you work in short fast spurts or are you slow and steady?

10. What is the main reason you want to start your online business? Be as honest as possible with yourself.

Starting your online business requires self confidence, wisdom, and the energy to continuously plug away day after day. You must keep in mind that your hard work will pay off in the end and will result in your goal. Always remember a positive attitude is the first step on the road to success!
