Quiz Outcomes

1.
You're an Entrepreneur!
Image Source
Entrepreneurs are the ‘big ideas’ people. They love inventing and designing new things and moving quickly toward their goals. Entrepreneurs love the unknown because it’s a challenge. They get excited by ideas and possibilities and staying ahead of the pack. For you, the easiest parts of running a business are likely to be things that involvecreativity or interaction with others, such as: creating big-picture visions and ideas, connecting with the ‘why’, inventing and innovating, focusing on the opportunities, being creative developing strategies to reach the vision, speaking about your passion, being a change-maker, networking, marketing, advertising and building tribes, building successful endeavours. As a big-picture dreamer, you love coming up with the ideas that other people will plan and implement. You often prefer to delegate the actual work tasks. On the flip-side, the more strongly entrepreneurial you are, the more likely you will have challenges around structure, planning, systems, methodologies, methodical tasks, anything that requires detailed focus, and the ‘how’ part of your ideas. It's much easier for you to be at the helm as a leader, especially if you're an extrovert. All of that structural stuff tends to be a bit boring, draining and unexciting. You may tend to be more visual (pictures) or you may prefer to watch videos, because you like to focus simply on the ideas. You probably prefer diagrams and flow charts to spreadsheets and documents. I invite you to reflect on how closely aligned you are with the traits listed above. This gives you clues as to where you might need help in your business. And I strongly recommend you get that support, because the more structural, process-focused tasks like financial spreadsheets, operational plans and procedures are essential for business growth and scaling. Note that you may not align strongly with all the traits listed. You may be a blend of Entrepreneur/Manager, or Entrepreneur/Technician. Rarely do we find someone equally competent in all three. The aim of this quiz is to help you recognise your natural strengths so you can make the most of them and get help with the rest instead of trying to make yourself do what doesn't come naturally.

2.
You're a Manager!
Image Source
Managers are good planners and organisers. They enjoy putting structure and schedules around the ideas so that they actually come to fruition. Managers are afraid of or dislike the unknown. They prefer the satisfaction and stability of regular routines which allow them to challenge themselves to continuouslyimprove their efficiency and effectiveness - and results. For you, the easiest parts of running a business are likely to be things that involveplanning and categorising, such as: creating operational plans and goals, developing KPIs or measures of success, developing work schedules, planning and organising programs (processes), researching program content, organizing others to do the work, measuring the success of campaigns and programs, managing records and registers, creating documents and systems, tracking the finances. As an 'implementer', you love putting frameworks and plans around other people's ideas. You often prefer to delegate the actual work tasks to others. On the flip-side, the stronger your managerial traits, the more likely you will have challenges around taking risks, creative planning, new innovative ideas,networking, talking to clients and developing marketing strategies. That creative stuff tends to be a bit ethereal, unclear, idealistic or too unstructured for you. It may be more comfortable for you to be behind the scenes, especially if you're an introvert. You may tend to be more audial (listening) or you may prefer to read written instructions, because you like to understand what's behind the ideas. You probably love spreadsheets; diagrams may be too simplistic. I invite you to reflect on how closely aligned you are with the traits listed above. This gives you clues as to where you might need help in your business. And I strongly recommend you get that support, because the more creative, people-focused tasks like networking and marketing are essential for business development and success. Note that you may not align strongly with all the traits listed. You may be a blend of Manager/Entrepreneur, or Manager/Technician. Rarely do we find someone equally competent and interested in all three.

3.
You're a Technician!
Image Source
Technicians are the doers – they love their work and appreciate craftsmanship. They love getting the job done properly, to the best of their ability. Technicians dislike the unknown because it is a distraction from getting the job done. For you, the easiest parts of running a business are doing the work, work techniques or work processes, such as: tinkering and understanding how things work, knowing how to do something well, learning about the science, theory or tools behind your work getting the process or method right creating efficiencies in the job, delivering a quality product, doing a good job, working the hours required to finish or get it right, creating an appealing work space. As a doer, you love doing the actual work and doing a really good job of it. On the flip-side, the more strongly technical you are, the more likely you will have challenges around the vision, ideas, structures, plans, systems, or anything that requires creative thinking, the bigger picture ‘why’, or organising. It's much easier for you to just do the work to the best of your ability.All of the ideas and structures can be done by someone else – you want them to be turned into tangible work tasks that can actually get results. You may tend to be more visual (reading) and/or kinaesthetic (learn by doing), because you like to understand how things work. You probably prefer clear instructions with pictures or videos that explain how things work, rather than detailed spreadsheets,plans or flow charts of ideas. I invite you to reflect on how closely aligned you are with the traits listed above. This gives you clues as to where you might need help in your business. And I strongly recommend you get that support, because the creative and structural parts of a business, like strategic plans, talking to people, finding clients, financial spreadsheets and operational plans are essential for business building and growth. Note that you may not align strongly with all the traits listed. You may be a blend of Technician/Manager, or Technician/Entrepreneur. Rarely do we find someone equally competent in all three.
