Now add up your points and determine your entrepreneurial profile:
Less than 35: Lady in Waiting. Fear may be holding you back from starting a business or taking your business to the next level. You need to stop thinking small and expand your horizons. You may have negative people in your life who have chipped away at your self worth. The good news is that with the right information, a great supporting cast, and a shot of self confidence, you will take the entrepreneurial leap and succeed!
35 to 50: Daring Dame. You have wonderful ideas, energy, and motivation. You have received shining praise from others. You have a natural rapport with people and a sincere desire to help others. Success is yours if you are aware of distractions on your journey towards your goals and dreams. Feel the fear and do it anyway!
More than 50: Entrepreneurial Empress. You are a freedom fighter with amazing leadership skills. You may not be the one who was voted “Most likely to succeed,” but your inner strength and resiliency will surprise everyone–even you. A maverick like you breaks down the roadblocks in your way and leaves the losers in the dust. You dream big and your world has no boundaries. Taking risks and meeting challenges are like adrenaline to you. You go, girl!

I got 58! I didn’t think I would score that high.

I scored 57, but all you have to do is score each at least 3 and five of them higher than 3 to score 50. I guess what that says is that if you are motivated to succeed, you will. I just pray to God that I’m taking the path He desires for me. I’m starting a scrapbook and paper craft business. I’ve spent lots of money so far and made very little, but supplies are expensive and take time to collect. I’m still on the learning curve. I’m taking classes and hoping to get some business through craft fairs before building my website. I’m laying groundwork first. If all goes well, I may begin a faith book ministry at my church. It’s in the back of my head for now, but if paper crafting for business is successful, I will take that as a sign that God wants me to do it for sure. Sister In Christ, Theresa

I scored 67 which didn’t surprise me. Now if only I could get over the should haves, could haves and would haves I could move forward to do the work that the Lord has put me here to do. I’m praying for the Lord’s guidance in networking with like minded individuals to help with my walk with the Lord. Blessings to all. Daphne
