Home Based Business Success Aptitude Test - Are strong leadership skills needed for home business success?

Four basic areas of skill are needed for success in a home based business:  technical areas, personality, leadership, and sales skills.  You don’t have to be a master of everything, but a “Jack of all trades” is certainly a plus - including leadership skills.

When looking at leadership skills, there are aspects that can be cultivated.  Some aspects of leadership are subjective, and thus more difficult to get better at - like charisma.  But most people come to the table with a certain level and experience in leadership, but these areas can grow.

These areas can include:

*Communication Skills - Both verbal and written.

*Teamwork - This would include the ability to work with others, particularly in a leadership capacity.

*Decision Making - Entrepreneurs need to be able to make good decisions quickly, and the confidence needed to do it.

*Entrepreneurial - People want to follow others who have creative ideas and energy.

*Problem Solving - The ability to navigate the maze of home business growth.

*Risk taking - Calculated risk taking, including investment, is essential for home business success.  Many people just aren’t willing to risk and thus are not well adapted for business ownership.

The quiz measures these areas.
