Eden showed self-starting behavior by launching her own carpentry business after leaving a large furniture firm, with a goal of doubling the size of her business within two years. Despite initially being rejected for a contract, she persisted by creating unique chair designs inspired by a design she saw on Pinterest, eventually securing the contract. Undertaking her own business and persisting despite rejection allowed her freedom and flexibility to pursue new ideas and designs, differentiating her business from competitors.

Case 1 – The Case of Eden:

Eden is in the carpentry business and produces wardrobes and chairs. Eden was formerly employed in a
big furniture manufacturing company. For getting business knowledge she had joined a bookkeeping
course. Eden’s business has grown a lot within the past two years. She has recently set herself the goal:
“double the size of the business within another two years”. To reach her goal, she went to a larger
furniture sales company in her neighborhood and offered her products. After being rejected first, she
made another try and offered chairs of a College of Business Economics and Management special design
she had seen on Pinterest. Finally, she got a contract. In addition, Eden sends out an employee once a
month to distribute flyers announcing special offers. She also rents a van every second Saturday for
delivery service. Moreover, she regularly meets people in carpentry business to exchange on problems
and new designs.

Instruction: Identify self-starting behavior and its consequences.

- Self-starters can define their own goals rather than relying on continual feedback from
supervisors and managers. They operate individually and with initiative to attain their objectives.
Self-starter indicates that you are recognized for your initiative and proactive demeanor. You
don't need precise preparations or permission to pursue your huge expectations; you just do it.
You prefer to get things done because you have a go-getter mentality, but you become irritated
when you have to wait on other people. You realize that's time you might be using to take action,
and that halted progress indicates your attention and energy are dwindling. On a team, you want
to have the freedom and flexibility to begin tasks rather than waiting for others to reach an
agreement or provide information. You want to get started right away and figure it out as you go.
