Personality types are one thing, decision making styles are another. You feel like your friends are always pushing you to take risks, try new things, and go out on a limb, when you're completely fine just being content with what you have. No matter how hard a time they give you, you're going to do what's right, and that's the hallmark of the Follower type.

Only 44% of businesses survive their first four years of life, so it's vitally important to validate your idea before investing half a decade to find out if you'll be successful or not. Every decision you make is either towards or away from your goal, so exactly what is it that you're working towards anyway?

035 - Should I Start a Business
