Entrepreneurship is often glamorized — make your own hours, be your own boss, complete flexibility, and wealth. Any honest entrepreneur will tell you that starting your own business is easy but running your own business is hard. Are you cut out for this? Babson College professor Daniel Isenberg developed a quiz to answer this very question. Here are a few sample questions…

1. I get an adrenaline rush from selling things.
2. I have friends who run their own businesses.
3. I don’t like being told what to do by people who are less capable than I am.
4. People get excited by my ideas.
5. I always look for new and better ways to do things.

Isenberg warns us that:

“All else being equal (and all else is rarely equal in the real world), on the average, people who set up their own businesses don’t make more money, although a few do succeed in grabbing the brass ring. But the ‘psychic benefits’ — the challenge, autonomy, recognition, excitement, and creativity — make it all worthwhile.”

Take the test and see if you are cut out to be your own boss.
