A Personality Reports for Entrepreneurs

Some say that entrepreneurs are born and not made however PeopleMaps has a different view on this. Personality plays a huge role in entrepreneurship. It’s not just as simple as “Yes / No”, because your personality determines what type of entrepreneurship you are most suited to.

Entrepreneurship is a work environment like any other. It demands certain things from the individual. However the environment that entrepreneurs find themselves in vary considerably  PeopleMaps believes in seeing people work to their natural strengths and their core personality wherever possible. This is also true of entrepreneurs.

With a deep insight into their own personality entrepreneurs can place themselves in an environment that that works for them, not against them.

I wanted to take a moment to tell you how happy we are with our PeopleMaps experience. The customized assessments give us incredible insight when working with our clients. Recently, while reviewing an assessment with a client, he was astonished at how we could know so much about his personality from the information he entered. This gave me, and my company immediate credibility and a rapport with the customer. The information we collect helps us immensely when trying to place our clients. I look forward to continuing to grow our relationship as we grow our company. Thank you again for an outstanding tool and all of your great support.

Best Regards,

The Entrepreneur Option

 

Example

Let’s consider a MacDonalds Franchise. The nature of this franchise is very formulaic. MacDonalds insist you stick to their tried and tested formula. This approach will come more naturally to some than others. MacDonalds works really well for those personality types that value processes and routines.

Let’s now go to the other extreme, where the driving force is about designing a new product, where the entrepreneur has an idea for a new product and is determined to build it and market it.

Here nothing is settled. There is no plan. There is no formula. There are no processes in place and everything has to be created from the ground up. This will appeal to a very different personality type than the MacDonalds franchise. However there are personality types who will thrive in this environment.
