If you answered True for questions 2, 4, 6, and 9, and
False for all the others, you can claim a healthy entrepreneurial spirit.
Otherwise, maybe you should think again.
Self-employed people succeed most often if they are entrepreneurs. That
means they like to take charge. They’re decisive, diligent, good with
people, talented at organizing and persuasive. The most successful are
also persistent and incredibly hardworking. If you don’t have all these
qualities, you need to team up with someone who has the ones you’re missing.
