From Employee to Entrepreneur: Changing Your Mindset

By

mindChanging Your Employee Mindset
When we leave our day jobs to become entrepreneurs we have to “unlearn” what it means to be an employee. It took me a full year to rid myself of the employee mindset! One of my clients gave me a much needed kick in the pants. She explained to me that I was not her employee and therefore did not need to share everything I did in my business. All that time I was thinking she was my BOSS not my CLIENT – big mistake!

When you become an entrepreneur it requires a change in your mindset. So, remember…

You are the boss; not the employee.

The buck stops with you!

You make the decisions – the decisions are not dictated to you!

You determine:

    • Who you work with
    • What you do
    • When you do it
    • How you do it
    • Where you do it
    • And for how much

Set business policies and stick to them!

Making the transition from employee to entrepreneur is a life changing experience! Take the the time to embrace it.

Thank you for reading and please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback; I always love to hear from you.
