According to Inc. Magazine, Quick Books recently surveyed about 1,300 small business owners (20 or fewer employees) to find out more about their personalities. What they found is they tended to be the loners (43%) and not the jocks (11%). Most were the oldest in their families (43%). A full 77% don't have a business degree. The majority of small business owners are sole proprietors -- a bit of a lonely job.
I'm curious, if you're reading this and you're a small business owner, does this accurately describe you?
