10 questions: Do you have what it takes?
by John Assaraf | posted on March 18th, 2008 | Mindset for Success
I think I have been asked at least 5,000 times what it really takes to be successful in business or your career, so I jotted down 10 questions you can use to gauge whether you already have what it takes, or if you need to do a little work to get there.
Many years ago I heard Jim Rohn say that you either pay the price of discipline or the price of regret. Discipline weighs ounces… regret weighs tons!
With that said, here are 10 questions to ask yourself:
1. Are you disciplined?
2. Do you take rejection personally? What about criticism?
3. Do you bounce back quickly from making errors or failing over and over again?
4. Are you a planner or do you do things by the seat of your pants?
5. Are you prepared to take risks? Moderate-sized or big?
6. Do you stay focused on one thing and one thing only until you achieve the result you want?
7. Do you have the stamina to keep going long after everyone else is tired?
8. Can you delegate well, or are you the only one who can do things right?
9. Do you wait for things to happen or do you aggressively go after what you want?
10. Do you do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? Or just what’s convenient?
It’s critical for you to ask yourself these questions to get a true picture of your nature and behavior. Successful people are aware of the consequences of not being efficient in these areas, and they find other ways, resources or people to manage for them.
Good luck!

Thanks for writing this…I did research before starting my business and they do have some great tools like your questions on the SBA site.
