I have been reading about a new book titled Illusions of Entrepreneurship, from Yale University Press (as a matter of fact, I ordered a copy). In my reading, I ran across a quiz about entrepreneurship. You really should take this quiz. It has answers to questions such as:
- Who is likelier to start a new business - a man or a woman?
- What’s the most common reason people start businesses?
- What is the capitalization of a typical new startup?
- What percentage of businesses are “up and running” within 7 years?
- What percentage of 5-year-old businesses are home-based?
You’ll be surprised at the answers. More on this subject when I receive the book….
