IS BEING A BUSINESS OWNER RIGHT FOR YOU?

Are you cut out for the Wrap Star lifestyle? 

Sure, you’re amazing at what you do and everyone says that you should definitely go into business for yourself. Plus, you see other people less talented opening up their own shop and they make it look so easy. Not to mention, you have a totally original idea for a name that would look SO cute spelled out in glowing pink neon letters.  

Ok, that’s a start. But what about the not so glam duties like itemizing receipts, taking out personal loans, addressing every issue that comes your way and knowing that the buck starts and ends with you? 

Take our biz quiz to get some insight! Select whether you identify more with statements in Column A or Column B. Then, tally up your points to find out if the Wrap Stars are aligned in your favor (wink emoji).

Column A Column B
I wake up and carpe the F out of each diem. So maybe I do need someone to give me a push before I get going. Doesn’t everyone?
I am OCD detail-oriented (or I can afford to hire someone who actually is). Like every detail? Including reordering products, checking appointment books, keeping track of all client preferences, sending personalized follow-up emails, disinfecting after every naked body, scrubbing the public restrooms, and remembering to turn off all the lights at the end of a 14-hour day?
I have looked into personal health insurance and I can totally afford it on my own. Covered California? More like covers one check-up per year and I’m screwed after that.
Tax season is fun! I know every loophole, deduction, and small business trick there is (or at least my CPA does). Wait, what do you mean I have to save and document every receipt? Itemized filing? Doesn’t CPA play for the Suns?
My favorite accessory? Hats. Many of them. On my head and all at the same time. Sure, I’m a “people” person. But am I a “deal with the contractor and also the distribution facility and also the lady on the phone who is clearly just having a very bad day and needs to take it out on someone while maintaining a positive attitude” person?
I am OK with not making any money in the first few months. I have been saving up for this exciting next chapter of my life and understand the risks associated with it. I’m more of an instant gratification kind of human gal. My reward is shopping, not saving.
I wear my overachieving “I will sleep when I’m retired on the beach” badge with pride an honor. They’re called the black circles under my eyes. I wear my overachieving “I will sleep when I’m retired on the beach” badge with pride and honor. They’re called the black circles under my eyes.

Mostly A’s: Be Honest. You didn’t really need to take this quiz, did you? But Type A’s can never resist an opportunity to tally up some point. Congrats – you are a Wrap Star in the making!

Mostly B’s: Some stars shine brighter in the orbit of other planets. And that is totally fine too. At least you’re being honest with yourself!
