Small Business Quiz

The Business Resource every Entrepreneur MUST have!!!

A survey was conducted by more than 100 California business owners. Their comments about small business success was guided in creating the following quiz. Choose the answer you think is best for each question. Use the sheet at the end to determine your total point score and then see where you stand in the Success Quotient Ratings. There are no "wrong" answers. Each answer listed represents a segment of the responses in the survey--and the final rankings correspond with the importance successful owners gave to different answers. 

Have a seperate piece of paper to record your answers.  And remember, no cheating!
