Hi All:
I am relatively new to this network, but not to business. My weakness is writing about myself, but it asks for background so here goes.
I took the quiz and scored 106. I have long known about my weaknesses in business but have started-up five companies from scratch. I raised multi-millions in funding for some and grew a couple from a shoe string budget when I first started being entrepreneural.
My background initially was big corporate. I ran a large division for a $40 Billion Dollar company and had about 3000 employees. To move ahead any further in the company, they were asking me to move somewhere I didn't want to go, so I took my stock and retired from there.
I figured that if I could run a billion dollar divison of a company, I could run my own business. Was I wrong!!!
I learned gut wrenching, sleep robbing, marriage wrecking, and bank account draining lessions. I decided to learn from those that had started businesses and been successful and surround myself with people that could bring the talents to business that I lacked.
Back to the Quiz therefore! The results of my painful lessions, out of the 5 firms I started- 3 grew in multimillion dollar businesses which were sold for a major return on investment, 1 failed and one continues to be a major corporation. I made a lot of friends, and there were a bunch that didn't like me and probably still don't.
If you have the bravery to try being an entrepreneur, learn that you might not be able to do it all yourself and learn to excel in everything, otherwise we all would get perfect scores.LOL Get help from your partners, upline, fellow Ryze members or paid specialists and hopefully avoid the painful lessions. Interesting Quiz!
Thanks, Michael.
Harold
