How balanced is your business? What should you be doing to achieve  your dreams? How can you eliminate problems and shift your business into the next gear?

Answer only 36 straight-forward questions in the self-assessment test on this website to identify which elements of your business are in most need of attention and where you should be making changes.

After completing the questions you will receive a summarised report by email.

It will take about half an hour of your time and could only add value to your business.

My Balanced Business Self-Assessment Test

The My Balanced Business Self-Assessment Tool helps business owners to identify the elements in their businesses and in their own lives that they should consider making changes to as a way of achieving success. After completing the Self-Assessment you will receive a report with practical advice and tips on those elements that might be out of balance.

The self-assessment consists of 36 multiple choice questions. Each question is presented on a page and should take you on average less than half-a-minute to answer.

You will get the most out of the Self-Assessment if you answer the questions dead honestly. And remember, select the answer that is the closest to the REAL SITUATION - not what you ideally would like to achieve or what you think the best way would be to do things. Concentrate on describing the situation as it is today!

Select the answer that describes your situation most accurately or if none describes your situation, then select the answer that is the closest.

When done with an answer, just click the "Next " button.
