Personal Statement On Entrepreneurial Interest - 1660 Words

12-1a Entrepreneurial Interest My scores for this quiz were: yes-5, rarely-3, mostly-3, and no-5. I have never thought about starting my own business before, because I don’t know what I would start a business in. My significant other however, has mentioned wanting to start a body shop. So, as I completed this survey I thought more about him and how he should be the one to take this. I personally don’t think that I have the attitude, lifestyle, or behavioral patterns to be consistent with a successful entrepreneurship. According to the assignment, the more â€Å"yes† answers the more successful an entrepreneurship would be. With only five â€Å"yes† answers, I learned that my thought on entrepreneurship was correct.

I learned with this test that even though I may have some of the qualities to start a business, I don’t have enough urge to make it happen.

I thought I would be more of a collectivist because I like to work in groups rather than alone. I like to bounce ideas back and forth, learning things that I didn’t know before. However, I can see how I am an individualist. At work, even though I work within a group of co-workers everyday, we each have our own assignments that need to be completed. A lot of the time I need help completing my assignment because of the high acuity work load lately. Being the person I am, I don’t ask for help because I want to complete my work on my own, and be able to show others that I can manage my work load on my own. In the past I have relied on many people that have let me down. I then learned that I have to look out for myself and most things will not get done unless I take initiative and complete them myself. This assessment taught me a little more about myself than I thought.
