AUTO TEST SOBRE MI VOCACION EMPRENDEDORA
Prof. Daniel Isenberg, Harvard Business Review, HBR org, 12 Febrero 2010
Should You Be An Entrepreneur? Take This Test
Some of your friends are doing it. People who do it are in the front pages
and web almost every day. So should you do it? Should you join the millions
of people every year who take the plunge and start their first ventures? I've
learned in my own years as an entrepreneur — and now an entrepreneurship
professor — that there is a gut level "fit" for people who are potential
entrepreneurs. There are strong internal drivers that compel people to create
their own business. I've developed a 2–minute Isenberg Entrepreneur Test,
below, to help you find out. Just answer yes or no. Be honest with yourself
— remember from my last post: the worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
