5 Entreprener Assessment Report YOUR AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT: Optimism Cstomers or clients may sometimes want yo to demonstrate a more optimistic, "can-do" attitde. Yo cold, at times, have more positive expectations for work projects and bsiness prospects. Occasionally yo might give p on a problem too soon becase difficlties seem insrmontable, even thogh sstained effort can bring sccess. Emotional Resilience Locs of Control Social Networking Self-Promotion Goal-Setting In high-pressre work sitations yo may sometimes lose yor composre or over-react to stress at work. Major setbacks, disappointments, or frstrations can sometimes leave yo demoralized and slow to recover. When bsiness goes badly yo tend to blame other people, economic conditions, or bad lck instead of taking the personal responsibility for yor own performance. Yo may miss a nmber of opportnities to take control of problems in yor work when yo mistakenly see them as otside yor sphere of inflence. Becase social networking doesn't come natrally to yo nder some conditions, yo probably miss opportnities to make contacts especially in informal gatherings and casal occasions for leisre. Especially dring the initial stage of developing yor bsiness, yo may need to develop a more extensive social network which yo can se for new ideas, generating leads, learning abot yor competition, developing alliances, and social spport. Yo may need to make more effort to have bsiness lnches, attend conferences and workshops, or participate in bsiness clbs and commnity organizations. Yo may miss a nmber of opportnities to promote yor capabilities and market yor bsiness to other people throgh yor own hesitation, relctance, or indecision. When yo do let other people know abot yor bsiness, yo may not do enogh to sell yorself or tot the vale of yor prodct or service. Goal-setting is not a habit for yo and yo may not be doing it in a sfficiently systematic manner for it to be of real benefit for yor bsiness. The goals that yo set may be too vage, irreglar, or poorly defined to help yo focs on what yo need to do to be sccessfl in self-employment. Reglarly setting specific, challenging goals may be hard for yo, so yor performance at work and in bsiness may lag behind that of yor more conscientios peers and competitors. copyright 2012 resorce associates, inc.

6 Entreprener Assessment Report Tolerance for Financial Insecrity Atonomy Persistence Reslts show that yo have a below-average tolerance for financial insecrity, so when yo confront npredictable prospects for ftre income common for self-employed entrepreners yo may, at times, feel significant anxiety abot yor financial well-being. Yor challenge is to try to develop enogh tolerance for financial insecrity that it does not lower yor personal qality of life or yor work effectiveness. This may reqire either, some psychological adaptation on yor part to feel more comfortable with the ncertainty or working hard and achieving enogh bsiness sccess that yo feel financially secre. Faced with a promising, bt financially ncertain, bsiness opportnity, yo probably wold decline to invest mch time or money, even thogh this cold help achieve long-term sccess. To be sccessfl in self-employment, yo will need to work extensively on yor own withot reliance on other people-which is not yor natral style. Qick, independent decision-making may prove difficlt for yo in some circmstances. Yo may need to fnction more atonomosly when analyzing problems and choosing the best corse of action. Yor perseverance may occasionally blind yo to the vale of abandoning a losing project and ctting yor losses.
