The Navigator
You pick a path and take the lead.
Knows where to go, moves first.
You know what you want to build and why. You make choices and get started, even when some answers are missing.
Am I a Navigator? Take the testHow you run your business
You have a clear idea of what your business is for. You can say who you help and why the work matters. When a choice comes up, you use what you know. You would rather take a small step than wait for every answer.
Running a business alone gives you room to act. But your pace can leave the basics behind. You may start new work before checking costs, time, or what the buyer needs. A short pause to set things up can save you from doing the work twice.
You choose one goal, check what it needs, and start before lunch. By closing time, you have a clear next step.
You say yes to a new idea before checking your week. Work you already promised gets squeezed into the evening.

First step
You begin useful work without needing a push.
Timely choices
You make a choice with the facts you have, even when some are missing.
Where it slips

Missing setup
You may begin before checking the steps, costs, and time the work needs.
