- (1) Natural Entrepreneur - You have all the skills you need to succeed in the world of business entrepreneurship. You're self-motivated, understand the value of a penny as well as the value of a loyal customer, and you draw others in naturally with your enthusiasm for the task at hand.
- (2) Budding Entrepreneur - You have many of the characteristics that define a good entrepreneur, but you still have a few areas to work on. Keep up with the self-improvement and you'll be a top business leader in no time.
- (3) Mid-Level Leader - You have some leadership skills, but you're probably not cut out for the rigorous and demanding life of an entrepreneur. You'll still find lots of great career opportunities for you as a leader in already-established companies, and you won't have to worry about the financial risks that entrepreneurs face.
- (4) Best on a Team - Leadership just isn't for everyone. If we only had leaders, business would be a very lopsided and ill-functioning world. Channel your skills into a niche that you enjoy and you'll find you have a valuable place on the team.
