Two Completely Different Business Mentalities

By Cody Scholberg

If you want to get rich by building a financial empire, you should already be in a certain position. You should already have plenty of insurance to protect you against any unforeseen, catastrophic events. You should be saving money on a regular basis, and you should have enough money to cover yourself in any kind of emergency. And, lastly, you should be self-employed, or at least do some kind of work on your own that earns money.

If you have all these traits, you are ready to build a business. You must be working for yourself if you want to build a business. While it is true that those who work for themselves technically already own a business, it should not be true in your mind. You do not own a business, but you own a job. A business is something that works for you; it is not something that you work.

Owning your own job, however, is a good thing. It is the start to building a business. You cannot build a business through work you do for an employer.

Job-building and business-building require different mindsets. Someone who builds jobs might think, "I will do as much work as I can, because the less I spend on labor, the more money I will make. I will only hire what I lack the skills to do or lack the time to do."

The mindset of a business builder is much different. It goes something like, "I want to get this all done, but I do not want to do any of the work. I will hire people to do all of it, and I will not make much money since I spend it all on labor. However, this is okay, because if I keep building it, eventually it will make me money and I still will not be doing any of the work."

So, do not think about what you could be putting in your pocket if it were not spent on an employee. It should be exciting to you to see the earnings from the business get reinvested back into itself. If a lot of money was coming out of the business into your wallet, you would be alarmed at the fact it was not going back in to hiring more people!

As you can see, the two mindsets are very opposite of each other. One seeks work, and one gets rid of work. But, they both earn money. Which would you rather be, a money-earner who works or a money-earner who does not? - 23208
