A huge part of being a successful entrepreneur is complementing a good business model with an excellent team. This team needs to be lead by a person who best fits the Entrepreneurial profile that will against all odds be able to weather the storm of small business and still be around in the future. This question of what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur is one that we have toiled with for some time and have recently come a whole lot closer to answering with a sense of confidence.

We have partnered with Johan de Goede, an industrial psychologist who has put together a clinical assessment that takes and analyses the entrepreneurial traits. This multi facet assessment, done online in less than an hour, provides Johan with enough data to compile a comprehensive report covering the following;

Personality type, Drive to succeed, Social Network, Outlook on success, Openness to new ideas, Internal locus of control and Emotional resilience.

Having this information together with a 30 minute chat with Johan provides you with enough wisdom to understand where to focus your strengths and where to seek assistance in your business. It was reassuring to get my results this week to see that I do indeed have the best profile for an Entrepreneur Coach. Johan was able to pin point some interesting facts about my profile that may need management and offered some guidelines on issues that may create gaps in the delivery of services through my business, a real eye opener and great advice. Highly recommended for all business owners. This just may become a standard part of the EI membership package in months to come as well as a prerequisite to VC funding for businesses.
