o Which type of business owner did she think she was and how close to reality was her self-assessment?
o How did Sarah get herself into this predicament?
2. Which of the three business roles — technician, manager, entrepreneur — do you most closely identify with or do you believe best describes you?
o Specify why you made your choice.
o Cite specific reasons that support your self-assessment (if you have work experience in the role you select, please specify it) if not, that’s fine but justify your answer.
