In case you haven't heard, starting and managing a small business is VERY HARD, takes an amazing array of skills, temperaments, and ... well, let's not spoil the test.
In the course of writing the 3rd edition of When Friday Isn't Payday: How to Plan, Start, Build, and Manage Your Small Business, it occurred to me that there might be a way to give prospective owners a sort of aptitude test. People like me who can't draw a stick figure should probably not go into graphic arts, even with all the fancy new tools. It turns out the same can be said for business aptitude. Some folks shouldn't go that direction.
Well, the test has another application. Do you know any business owners who are failing, barely getting by, and/or hate their life (or what's left of it after 70-hour weeks)? Me, too. So, the test is for them, as well. I know plenty of lawyers who gave it up because it just wasn't worth it.
Enough blab. Go here to take the test. You can tell us your score or make other comments about the test below.
