RUNNING HEAD: GET2RESULT
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

GET2RESULT 1
The description focuses on my response towards the achieved score in GET2 test’. In the
discussion, I have explained the reasons for achieving an intermediate score. Further, I will
provide you with an insight of my past work life experiences. It will depict the amount of
entrepreneurship skills attained by me.
It is prepared to show my viewpoint for achieving a score of 50% in GET2 test (Get2test,
2019). I have developed a feeling that there is a need for achievement as my score is not
satisfactory for me. Despite achieving an intermediate score, I think that I possess reasonable
qualities to start and mange projects. Through this discussion, I want to show my active
response towards the attained score. In order to clearly state my viewpoint, use of Gibbs
model is adopted.
After evaluating the get2result, I have assessed that I attain a high orientation towards my
future as I have changed my career from a comfort zone. In order to enhance my skills and
understanding, I have opted for a challenging job. I lay prior attention towards building a
successful career. Therefore, I have chosen a MBA course. This is because it will assist me in
gaining adequate experience and knowledge about the corporate sector. I have high reliance
on my ability as I am using my experience and gained knowledge. I believe that I am
optimistic person because I perceive failure as a part of success. I consider that failure helps
me in enhancing my learning and assists me in improving myself. Despite accusing myself
for failure, I try to build up my morale and work for better future result. Previously, I attain a
strong task orientation. However, due to high job insecurity am slowly lacking in this aspect.
With your concern with time management, I agree that I had to improve in this area.
Therefore, I have initiated working for achieving better time management skill. Similarly, I
agree with your point that I have to improve for attaining better orientation for the result.
Considering restlessness, strong drive, and high energy level, I think that I am in a high need
for these. Therefore, I usually ignore taking stress and pressure. This is because it will affect
me as well as my family. Thus, I avoid such practices as I prioritize my health and family.
Being opinionated and defending your ideas and views is not a right thing. I need to adopt
these aspects in my behavioural pattern, as I do not like any sort of controversies. Therefore, I
usually avoid unsuspected questions. I attain high determination and I usually ensure that my
goals and objectives are met even at difficult and adverse situation. At such situation, I try to
calm and motivate myself. These two practices assist me to focus on my goal. Previously,
despite having adverse situations I have successfully attained my set goals. I have come

GET2RESULT 2
across various individuals that are highly focused towards their set objectives. However, due
to lack of persistence in hardwork they have lacked in fulfilling their aim. I have taken a
lesson from them and from then onwards I am persistence in perusing my aims. I also take
responsibility for my actions and it directly contributes to my personality making me a
responsible individual. I believe that an individual should be goal oriented and he/she must
pass small challenges to fulfil realistic goals. Similarly, I am highly goal-oriented person
similar as an entrepreneur (Baum et al., 2014). However, I face bigger challenges as
sometimes my goals do not match the reality. Thus, I have to improve in this area by setting
only realistic goals. I show a high willingness to work. I rarely chose to work long hours, as I
do not want to develop it as a habit.
Thus, one of the major reasons for achieving a medium score is that I gave high consideration
to my family and physical and mental health. Being content in these areas makes me perform
my work better. Thus, it clearly states that I have achieved work and life balance.
Considering autonomy, I agree that I like to work independently to avoid any sort of
interruption in my plan. Nevertheless, I also prefer working in teams as I give me a chance to
learn new things. Additionally, it lowers the risk as the decision is taken by considering the
opinion. However, I am content that I am doing the work I prefer.
As per the high score on Creative tendency, I agree that I am individual with strong creative
tendencies. However, due to my experience and past failures I am not a position to take any
form of risk associated with my work. Previously, I had a small business of ‘Electrical and
fitting material’. For three years, it was running well. However, due to uninspected changes
in the regulation, it was failed. Because of business failure, I have to acknowledge heavy
financial crises. It had developed a fear in me to initiate a new business. At present, I cannot
take business as I have high responsibilities towards my expanded family.
According to the low score attained in Risk taking, I agree that I have less preference for
taking business risk. This is because of high family responsibilities and few personal
resources. I approve with your point of accepting calculated risk at later phase in life.
Because risk forms the part of business success for an entrepreneur (Delgado et al., 2010).
Focusing on the marking of locus of control, I have achieved a low score. I agree with your
response that I chose to be more in comfort zone. As per your view, I accept that I believe in
fate and luck has a major role in my life. However, I also perform hard work as I consider it

GET2RESULT 3
as a ladder to success. Thus, I do not mainly rely on fate to achieve success. In order to move
myself away from the comfort zone, I have decided to accept a challenging work. This can be
understood from my previous work. From 2014 to 2015, I worked in a Ministry of health as a
medical laboratory technician. There I have experienced success as well as challenges. After
becoming a technician co-superior quality and safety officer, I have reached to a comfort
zone. This is because; at that position, I will retire after seven years without facing
challenges. Thus, to challenge myself I worked as sales and application specialist at Roche
diagnostic Middle East. There I faced challenges as well as experienced success.
Nevertheless, due to management change in Oman I was disappointed. Therefore, I have
developed a preference of being in a comfortable zone. However, these challenges had also
taught me in some way or other. Hence, I have analyzed that I attain only specific
entrepreneurship skills. However, I expect that you will consider my viewpoint about your
given response over my achieved result.
From the achieved result, I have concluded that I have to improve myself in specific areas. I
have analyzed that ‘Get2result’ is tangible in its nature as it clearly displays my inner skills.
Further, this will allow me to develop my personality and enhance my skills. Additionally,
my action plan involves that I have decided to gain a better knowledge from you as it will
help me in gaining service beyond the Oman.

Need for Achievement
Having a medium score, you may recognise some of the following characteristics of a high
need for achievement in yourself:
 An orientation towards the future;
 Reliance on your own ability;
 An optimistic rather than a pessimistic outlook;
 A strong task orientation;
 Effective time management;
 An orientation towards results, which applies to yourself and others;
 A restlessness, strong drive and high energy levels;
 Opinionated and ready to defend your ideas and views;
 A determination to ensure your objectives are met even when difficulties arise;
 Responsibility and persistence in pursuit of your aims;
 Goal–orientated, setting challenging but realistic goals;
 A willingness to work long and hard when necessary to complete tasks.
A medium score probably means you are good at achieving work and life balance.
Need for Autonomy
Having a medium score, you may recognise yourself being somewhat independent,
individualistic and determined, although you may be happy to work as an intrapraneur or as a
valuable member of an organisational team. If you start your own enterprise, you may need to
cultivate stronger independent leadership qualities. Starting a business is only one option for
you, and you would probably be equally happy to work as an employee as part of an
organisational team or on your own projects.
Creative Tendency
Your creative tendency is high. This means that you may have the following qualities:
 An imaginative, inventive or innovative tendency to come up with new ideas;
 Intuition, being able to synthesis ideas and knowledge and make good guesses when
necessary;
 Change-orientated, preferring novelty, change and challenges with a dislike of being
locked into routines;
 Versatilty, being able to draw on personal resources for project management and
problem solving;

GET2RESULT 6
 Curiousity and interest in new ideas.
A high creative tendency score suggests that you are a person with strong creative tendencies
that may be expressed through artistic, innovative or inventive activities. While not all
creative people have to be enterprising, it is nonetheless a characteristic of the most
enterprising.
Your results suggest you are not highly enterprising but that you have high creative
tendencies. So although you may not be inclined to start your own business or set up
enterprise, you are very aware of opportunities that you could pursue in your life and work to
express your creativity. This result suggests that although you are inventive you may have
problems bringing your ideas to fruition and may even have had experiences with other
people plagiarising or capitalising on your ideas. It may be that business is not the only or
most appropriate vehicle for your creative expression and you may consider other scientific,
artistic or technical occupations to be more appropriate to you.
Calculated Risk-Taking
Having a low score, you may not be happy about taking on any risk and perhaps you have too
many responsibilities or too few personal resources to allow you to feel comfortable about
taking financial or business risks. However, you may change and decide to take more
calculated risks at later times in your life. Enterprising people tend to take calculated risks
that are neither excessive or risk-averse.
Locus of Control
Having a low score, you may have experienced some knocks to your self-confidence which
lead you to doubt that your personal qualities and efforts will help you to achieve your aims
in life. On the other hand, you may believe that you have been lucky so far in life, but no
thanks to you and your efforts. In general, you believe that luck and fate will determine what
happens to you in life, and that self-determination and hard work will not make much
difference. However, self-confidence needs to be nurtured and can be stronger at different
times of life.
