Disabled Entrepreneurs Can Test if they have the Right Stuff

Daniel Flynn, 50, has diabetes and has suffered four strokes since 2003.  Flynn who uses a quad cane and wears a leg brace to off-set the drop foot common among stroke patients, has a new lease on life.  Flynn is quickly becoming a leading advocate for disabled entrepreneurs.  Having spent much of the past year identifying the qualities and characteristics of successful disabled entrepreneurs, Flynn has launched a detailed survey which helps disabled people discover if they are ready to create dynamic and financially successful lives. 

There are numerous personality traits that provide clues as to who will (and will not) be successful.

Helping other disabled people, independence, and being networked with online social media, such as Facebook, providing an indication that a successful entrepreneurial business is possible.  Other characteristics include a strong support system and the ability to teach others.

The survey of fourteen questions can be found at www.adisabledentrepreneur.com.  Following a scoring process participants are ranked to determine exactly how ready they are to start a new business.  Some will find they are not suited for this type of work, whereas others possess the right mix of talent, interest, passion, creativity, and willingness to help other disabled people succeed.

Flynn goes on to make specific suggestions about which business opportunities are best for disabled among those who tally a high enough score following the disabled entrepreneur survey. Flynn’s evaluation required that companies that work with disabled people are willing, friendly, receptive, and offer most training resources free of charge and online and support via a toll-free telephone number.  According to Flynn, “It was amazing how many organizations were trying to simply profit from the disabled by selling training collateral and material.  We also eliminated companies that had not been in business for decades because a company’s reputation is critical to the success of all entrepreneurs, especial the disabled entrepreneur.”
