The Big Question Do you Have a Business?
The Big Question
The big question is do you have a business? Or are you just self-employed? There is a difference. Take a look at successful franchises: McDonald’s, In and Out, or any other fast food operations.
Most are run by teenagers or baby boomers citizens. You rarely see the owners. That is a business. It runs whether the owners are there or on vacation. Your ultimate goal is to become an entrepreneur who is in charge of your business but not in control.
Your Job or Place of Employment
Your job is a business. The Big Question… unless it’s a mom or pop shop do you ever see the owners? If you do are they doing your job? Are they cleaning up, doing the accounting, handling customer service, etc.?
Or are they the rainmakers? It is their job to bring in the $$$ so you as an employee can get paid. That is what entrepreneurs do. They hire people to carry out their vision. You as their employee carry out their vision.
When you start your business. It is up to you to get people to carry out your vision. At first, you may be the lone wolf. You will wear many hats. At some point, you must learn how to delegate, delay, defer, or delete tasks so you can focus on growing.
