Time to chuck in the day job?!

by Sarah Dillon

Oh grrrr-eat. Memo to self: write a blog on how rubbish and potentially self-serving these quizzes are 🙂

You Aren’t a Natural Entrepreneur

But you could be an entrepreneur with some work.
You’ve got the vision and guts to make it happen.
You just need a little more practice in the business world.
Find out what you truly love to do, and the money will follow.
Are You a Natural Entrepreneur?

But a prize to the first self-styled entrepreunarial or job-searching blogger who claims to have got this result 😀 :

You Are a Natural Employee

You definitely aren’t cut out for running your own business.
For you, a paycheck is just a means to an end.
You rather punch a clock and not think about what you’re doing.
Risking everything for more money is not worth it to you.
Are You a Natural Entrepreneur?
