allowing an individual to determine what they need to improve in order to
achieve success and includes the dissolution of self-delusion in terms of personal
capabilities.
The process of self-discovery requires one to be open and honest in order to
use that knowledge to improve themselves. Self-awareness allows one to delve
deeper into areas of their personality and discover what makes them who they
are and how they can leverage this in their future success. This is in line with
the notion that knowledge is power; once you discover who you are outside of
who you think you are, you become better equipped to use this knowledge in
your entrepreneurial journey.
So how does one become self-aware? How do you discover if you are a high
impact entrepreneur, a serial entrepreneur, an entrepreneur leader or a corporate
entrepreneur?
These questions can be answered with the help of various psychometric
assessments suites that have been created for the purpose of measuring human
behavior. These assessments scientifically measure personality traits, intelligence
quotients, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, etc. Results provide
information regarding personal temperament, levels of knowledge in various
disciplines, weakness across personality, intelligence and emotional spectrums.
This scientifically accurate information provides deeper self-insight which one
can use to facilitate positive change towards goal achievement by functioning
at their full potential.
Assessments suites are available online and through various intermediaries
including employment agencies. One of the most basic assessments accessible
online is the personality assessment, giving one a detailed analysis of the
personality factors in relation to both personal and professional life as well as
a basic human interaction style. It provides a solid foundation for one to begin
their self-introspection journey.
It is always important to remember that you are your business; self-awareness
will allow you to develop an authentic brand and help you understand not only
yourself but others. This will in turn allow for a flawless alignment of strengths
to business tasks.
