Quiz Outcomes

1.
You are a Juggler.

Because you’re responsible for keeping all the balls in the air, things get missed. You are always stressed, vigilant, and dealing with crises. You get stuck tracking the various balls, but rarely get the chance to take a breath and see the whole picture. You have to be in perfect timing, keeping the balls moving, but usually you’re just diving to save the falling balls, and oftentimes missing. There are specific tasks, challenges, and structures that your business needs now to be energizing, lucrative, and fun again.
2.
You are a Zombie.
Image Source
You lost the spark of passion for the work a while back. You’ve been going through the motions, feeling bored, drained, unmotivated, maybe even depressed. You often feel dull and repetitive like a zombie. Your business might even be going great, but you don’t feel good. Maybe you lost the dream you had when you started. Without your passionate dream guiding you, there’s little imagination or creative visionary thinking to keep you going with inspired action. So you (or your business) might feel a bit like the walking dead. There are specific tasks, challenges, and structures that your business needs now to be energizing, lucrative, and fun again.
3.
You are an Atlas.
Image Source
You carry the weight of the business on your own shoulders, every day. You don’t delegate fully (only with piecemeal tasks). You don’t lean on others to share the burden. You might be concerned about looking bad, trusting the wrong people, or connecting in the wrong way. So you micro-control everything, and do it all yourself. But that leaves you isolated in a way that drains you and your business. You’re missing the support that can take your business (and your life) to the next level. There are specific tasks, challenges, and structures that your business needs now to be energizing, lucrative, and fun again.
4.
You are a Self-Studier.
Image Source
You can see where you want to go, and you have tried everything you can do on your own. You are a Do-It-Yourself biz owner, and that’s worked to some extent. You’ve read all the books, taken the courses and workshops, but somehow you can’t self-diagnose what it will take to go to the next level. You know so much, you figure there’s nothing and no one who can help. There are specific tasks, challenges, and structures that your business needs now to be energizing, lucrative, and fun again.
5.
You are a Speedster.
Image Source
You figure stuff out fast. You make decisions fast - sometimes impulsively. You’ve got a great gut feeling, and you go with it right away. And this usually works, but you may encounter some spectacular fails and pivots along the way. No matter how fast you go, though, you end up in the same spot. You’re going too fast to see why this keeps happening. There are specific tasks, challenges, and structures that your business needs now to be energizing, lucrative, and fun again.
