Twenty More Things to Ask Before Starting a Business

If you read my last post (Twenty Things to Ask Yourself Before Starting A Business) you should have taken a quick test to see if you have the traits of a business owner. How'd you do? When I took it I got almost all yes answers. Seems like entrepreneurship is pretty logical for me or anyone else who got similar results, huh?

Well...maybe. Before you decide if owning a business is for you, I'd like to offer you another twenty point quiz that was so thoughtfully posted on SecondCityCEO by Seth Kravitz in Is It Worth It? These insightful questions speak not so much to the knowledge base or past life experience of a budding entrepreneur, but rather to the temperament, tolerance level and inner steel of them.

Take a moment and see how you answer these:

I am willing to lose everything.
I embrace failure.
I am always willing to do tedious work.
I can handle watching my dreams fall apart.
Even if I am puking my guts out with the flu and my mother passed away last week, there is nothing that will keep me from being ready to work.

Click here to see the rest of Seth's list and article.

Seth's list is so spot on! I have honestly lived through the bulk of this list over the last sixteen years and am still self-employed. And in the in-between moments of successes small and large I have forgotten all the bad stuff and basked in the glory – until I had to go put out another fire.

Like Seth, I have tried to share “the dark side” of what it is to own a business with my colleagues and clients who want to become entrepreneurs so that they know a little about what they are getting into from the beginning. But even with those words of warning, I can’t help but feel a whirring excitement about the possibilities when someone shares their dream with me. It reignites my passion all over again – and makes me want to stay on this roller coaster called entrepreneurship forever.
