Test Yourself: Is Self-Employment for you?
Before you get started, take our Entrepreneurial Self-Assessment and learn about your strengths and weaknesses as an entrepreneur. This assessment will help you discover if you have the necessary skills to succeed in self-employment.
Remember there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. This is a measurement of where your skill set is now. If some scores are low, don’t despair, it is beneficial to identify the areas you need to work on, so you can build your skill base.
We offer a variety of resources, business skills training and advisory services, including a network of service providers, to help you gain the skills and attributes you need to become a successful entrepreneur.
