Danny Deutsch over at the the BIG Idea Blog offers this quick test to see if you are sabotaging yourself in your quest to run your own business.
1. Do you ever ask “Why should I try to be successful?”
2. Do you consider money dirty , un-cool , or pretentious?
3. Do you have negative opinions about wealthy people?
4. Are you afraid of making more money than your parents?
5. When you walk into a room, do you prefer to remain unnoticed?
6. Do you tend to refuse opportunities to give to charity?
7. When you lose money on a bad deal, do you hold onto it as a regret?
The more questions to which you answered YES, the more you may be standing in the way of your own success.

It’s a great thing that my answers to all those questions are no. But what happens next?- i think this is really the question we should be answering.
