The idea of being out on my own with my business frightens me a little, but not too much.

I literally get excited when I think about beginning my own business within the next year.

I am not very concerned about the idea of losing my stable income or my job benefits.

I strongly believe that now is the time to take the plunge and go out on my own.

I have difficulty working for someone or for a company because I always think of how I would run things differently in my own business.

I am a person who has always been attracted to the idea of creating a business and dedicating my career to growing a company.

I typically think that I am not best suited for a stable and consistent job.

Others have told me that I have a high degree of risk tolerance and am able to deal well with the pressures of business risk.

The idea of not working with coworkers or colleagues on a day-to-day basis in a regular job is fine with me.

I do very well with structuring myself and making my own schedule.

I am someone who manages stress and numerous demands on my time pretty well, particularly when I have a large degree of control over what stress I want to take on.

I have always been really interested in hearing the stories of highly successful business people and how they came to be so successful.

I have become very burned out with the routines of corporate life or my 9-5 job.

I can easily list 5 reasons why I am better suited to being self employed than to having a typical job.

I do not seem to need a supervisor or boss keeping me on track with my deadlines and projects.

I can’t stand to feel a lack of control in my career. It bothers me to have to answer to someone in a job.

When I think about not being able to pursue my business idea and self-employment in the next year, I feel frustrated and disappointed.

It is typical for me to think that I naturally have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.

I am not too concerned about giving up all of the perks of a regular job in favor of being self-employed.

I often think about how I would love being my own boss and being responsible for my own successes or failures; whereas I cannot imagine loving a stable job.

I have enough savings to cover my major living expenses for at least one year as the business gets off the ground.

Lately, I have been very frustrated with my job because I know I really want to be self-employed. (Note: If you are already self-employed: Lately I have not been frustrated with being self-employed).

If I had my choice, I would definitely be in my own business, and I have already begun to take steps to make that happen.

I am an extremely self-motivated person and I always finish tasks without having to be prompted or reminded.

The thought of working for someone else for the rest of my life makes me feel depressed.

I love change and novelty. I adapt well to new circumstances. I actually seek out new experiences.

I do not have problems focusing my attention on one task at a time.

I tend to get enthusiastic and excited whenever I hear small business success stories, especially those where the owner pursued her or his dream to get there.

I am intrigued and fascinated by entrepreneurship and self-employment. The more I learn about self-employment, the better match I think it is for me.

Many people have recently told me that I should go for it and become self-employed because they can tell that is what I want and that is what I would be best at.
