Entrepreneurial DNA is a set of predisposed behavioral traits owner-operators display. As a future entrepreneur, it is important for you to identify when these DNAs are manifesting themselves in you. Also learn how to identify other people's DNAs and use it as a means to get better insight, build healthier relationships and design strategy that is best suited for you. IMPORTANT: Since you are not operating a business yet, this is just a "predictor" of what your Entrepreneurial DNA may be in the future. Make sure to take the BOSI Test again 12 months after launching your venture.
| Predisposed Strengths | Built-in weaknesses |
|---|---|
| A willingness to work hard and be coachable | Not staying focused on a specific action plan |
| The ability to sell/market/promote | Saying "No" to new money making opportunities |
| An optimistic view of life and business | Having a "get rich quick" mindset |
Innovator is the part of your entrepreneurial DNA that will come up with breakthrough ideas and product. It has a limitless innovation pipeline. The key weakness of this DNA is that it drives the entrepreneur into the "lab" of the business and away from important business management activities.

There is much more to your BOSI Profile than what you have read through in this short report. At BOSI, our research is showing that your entrepreneurial DNA and BOSI Profile have mission critical impact on decisions you make in areas like business selection, marketing strategy, human capital decisions, financing options and operating plan. You owe it to yourself and your business to dive deeper into the study of BOSI.
Here are the nuggets we'd like to share with you:
1. Take the Advanced BOSI Assessment at bosidna.com/advanced. It launches deeper than the Basic Assessment and identifies Secondary and Minor DNAs you probably have. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete and includes a comprehensive 3-page report packed with business and leadership development strategy. It's the best 30 bucks you'll spend on yourself this year.
2. The breakthrough book Entrepreneurial DNA is now in book stores and online. Make sure to grab your own copy. We're confident it will be one of the most powerful books in your professional library.
