Entrepreneurs get more insight and prospects with E-Scan
Why do you need an entrepreneur test if you are already an entrepreneur?
I remember well when I - 20 years ago - wanted to start my own company. My friends laughed at me when I told them that I was going to market an entrepreneur test and that I was going to do a PhD on it. I was amazed at how entrepreneurs were and were judged based on gut feeling only. You should know there was no entrepreneur test yet. Not even in the scientific literature. My friends responded: "Why do you need an entrepreneur test if you are already an entrepreneur or know you want to become an entrepreneur?" But that is not what I intended with it. How can you assess and develop someone's entrepreneurship?
Only 28% of entrepreneurs have accurate self-knowledge
There were plenty of people who doubted the usefulness of an entrepreneur test. And there are still people who think it is nonsense. You answer questions that you actually already know the answer to. You would think. Of course every entrepreneur has an image of himself, but how accurate is that self-image of them as an entrepreneur? In a study with the E-Scan, this appears to be significant
to be disappointing. Only 28% have accurate self-knowledge. The vast majority have poor self-esteem and make numerous decisions based on this. With all its consequences. After all, the survival rate after 5 years is still around 50%!
More insight and view with E-Scan
The point is whether the entrepreneur is enterprising enough for the industry in which he operates. Every entrepreneur has strong and weak entrepreneurial qualities. And these are reflected in the behavior that the entrepreneur shows and ultimately in his business results. So how well does his business strategy fit his entrepreneurial profile? E-Scan not only provides insight into his entrepreneur profile, but also insight by linking his profile to the strategy of the company.
With the E-Scan Confrontation tool, the entrepreneur and his coach determine exactly that strategy
suits him and his company at the time. With impact. In a study by the Chamber of Commerce in which the EScan and coaching was applied, 5% still exists after 89 years.
My friends are smiling at me now. More than 600.000 entrepreneurs (in the making) have already gained insight into their entrepreneurship.
