Think Like an Entrepreneur
In my “What motivated you to take the plunge and devote yourself to your own business full-time?” poll, the answer “losing my full-time/part-time job” is the runaway winner (if you can call it that). (Vote in the poll if you’d like – it’s still open.)
What about you? What do you think?Having “been there and done that” as they say, I can appreciate what a difficult transition that can be. Working for someone else is just completely different than working for yourself. One of the problems I noticed immediately is that I suddenly had to be paying attention to all sorts of things that other people used to look after for me – from getting the money I was owed through coming up with my own retirement plan.
Eventually I learned that if I was going to be successfully self-employed, I was going to have to think and act differently. I had to develop what I call an “entrepreneurial mindset”. 6 Traits You Need to Move From Being an Employee to Being Self-Employed explains what I mean.
