I’d like to point you to a piece I’ve just written titled, “Take This Quiz to Assess Your Strengths as a Business Owner,” in which I share a quiz I created to give small business owners a clear idea of their strengths and weaknesses.  I’ve titled it “The Growth Analyzer Quiz.”

I created The Quiz after having worked with and interviewed over 5,000 small business owners over a period of 20 years:

“It outlines 45 business-owner characteristics. You are asked to check the boxes next to any of the 45 statements, if they are true and apply to you.  After you’re done, you’ll instantly see the results.”

If you’re a small business owner looking for ways to build upon your personal strengths, you may want to take a minute to take The Growth Analyzer Quiz and read the entire piece titled, Take This Quiz to Assess Your Strengths as a Business Owner.”

I’d like to point you to a piece I’ve just written titled, “The New Definition of Insanity: Doing the Same Things with Less and Expecting the Same Results!” which covers tips to help your business grow and profit – even during these challenging times when taking an unacceptable risk may be necessary.

So what can small business owners do to drop the weight of the world from our shoulders and break out of old routines and take the risk that’s required to develop new ways of profiting?  Here’s an example:

Stop doing anything your customers don’t insist on paying you for. Too many firms are still providing costly frills their customers don’t value. Seriously, who really misses pillows on an airplane?”

If you’re a small business owner looking for ways to break out of the restraints of this economic environment, you may want to take a minute to read the entire piece titled, The New Definition of Insanity: Doing the Same Things with Less and Expecting the Same Results!
