Are You Cut Out to be a Scale-Up Entrepreneur? Take the Test
Inspired by Daniel Isenberg, Professor of Entrepreneurship Practice, Babson Executive Education
1. Something inside compels me to make something that will impact the marketplace.
2. I am great at selling things to people that they may not know they want, nor think they have the money to buy.
3. I have people on my team who are better than me in several areas of knowledge or practice.
4. My venture already has the procedures, policies, and processes in place to be ten times the size we are today.
5. When I don’t know what my next step is, I have experienced people I can turn to for ideas.
Agree or Disagree?
6. There is money out there to fuel a venture that is growing fast; I just have to find it when I am ready.7. When I achieve my objectives I keep raising the bar higher and higher.8. I am one of the best sales people I know.9. Think big; thinking small is a crime.10. I know entrepreneurs just like me who have grown big, fast.11. The sales process is just starting when the customer first says no.12. If my venture stands in one place too long, it runs the risk of perishing. We have to keep moving forward.13. I know how to find great people to hire.14. Nothing gives me a bigger rush than closing a big sale.15. It is more important to know of a big problem that customers have and then look for a solution, than it is
to have a solution that is looking for important problems to solve.16. I used to think our great technology would take us to leadership in our market — now I realize it is our
team, our organization, our marketing and our ambition to sell.17. Even though I am a startup, I think more like a market leader than a small business.
