I've been a really good employee before. Always added major gains to the bottom line revenue of companies I've worked with. Faithful, loyal, competent, you name it - I REALLY prided myself in those things!
When I started my own business, it hit me with a hard dose of reality:
The success strategies that make you a good employee or even a contract-labor service provider will make you a broke business owner!
And that's where I find a lot of people get stuck.
Their usual mode of operation makes them an excellent employee, the best of the best, highest performers - but when it comes to business - and operating a business, they struggle.
The very things that makes you a successful employee will destroy your chances of being profitable as a business owner.
Read that again. Once you get this, limitless possibilities in business open up for you.
The 4 habits of breaking out of a "corporate employee" mindset into a business "owner/entrepreneur" mindset are as follows:
1.) Embrace rejection from other people.
2.) Be 100% OK with not having all the answers.
3.) Start taking uncertain, risky action, even without a plan.
4.) Be 100% OK with making big mistakes regularly, and learning from them.
As an employee, if you can AVOID all 4 of these, you will be a ROCKSTAR employee.
As a business owner, trying to avoid all of these will keep you broke. You need to embrace these 4 things!
You have to run FULL FORCE into these 4 habits with everything you got and embrace them as good things to be successful in business.
That's the big shift.
If you can embrace all of those 4 things as good things, you can be a successful business owner.
You see, all of those things are positives as a business owner and extreme negatives as an employee!
Many people struggle to grasp and struggle to gain traction, realizing that they have to embrace these 4 things fully to be successful in business.
The people who make the most money as business owners FULLY embrace these 4 things, and the ones who struggle and are broke don't!
Sometimes, it takes therapy to even break people out of the employee pattern because of abuse surrounding these 4 things! That's why it's so hard because it's burned into our brain never to allow these things to happen.
Yet as a business owner, these are the things you want to happen for you to gain traction!
