Key Distinctions between Entrepreneur vs Employee Mindset
Entrepreneur Mindset:
1) I am responsible for everything that happens in my life.
2) I choose freedom over working for money.
3) I focus on solutions, not problems.
4) I dont’t need to know everything to get started, but I need to get started to be great.
5) Failures and mistakes are learning stones to my success.
6) I believe in win-win situation for all.
7) I believe in what I am doing for my business because it contributes to a better world.
8) I choose to be around friends who are like minded and push me to greater heights. I avoid and spend less time with negative people.
9) I believe in cutting short my learning curve by learning from the very best in my chosen entrepreneurial field, and seek actively to find suitable mentors.
10) I believe in self development, and continuous learning via seminars/workshops.
11) I believe in abundance mentality,
12) I believe in my dream and pursue it even though it’s against the norm of society.
13) I have a humble mentality, to always respect others and to remember my roots.
14) I believe in ‘sky is the limit’ when it comes to my income. I choose to work for myself. I believe in passive income greatly.
15) I am responsible for my own success. If it’s to be, it’s up to me! I make things happen. I make my own luck.
Employee Mindset:
1) When things go wrong, or the economy goes down, I usually ask ‘why is this always happening to me?’ or I blame the economy, the government,etc.
2) Security is most important for me over freedom.
3) I tend to blame, criticize, and complain when I am faced with problems.
4) I need to know everything first before getting started.
5) I fear failures.
6) I believe if I were to succeed in something, I would have to take advantage of others.
7) I have the ‘Me-mentality’. What’s In It for Me? Instead of ‘how can I help others?’
8) I am not aware of who I spend time with. I am cool going out with friends who are negative thinking.
9) I don’t really need mentors or coaches in my life.
10) When presented with opportunity to attend educational seminars/workshops to develop oneself, I usually ask ‘how much is the price first?’ or ‘so expensive! not worth it!’ or even worse ‘ WHY WASTE MONEY GOING FOR SEMINARS?’
11) I have scarcity mentality. I think there is not enough going around.
12) I am self conscious of what others think of me.
13) I tend to be egoistic when thinking of upgrading myself by attending seminars/workshops or learning from someone successful who is younger than me.
Or perhaps I feel I am wise enough anyway due to my age. I have the ‘I AM ALWAYS RIGHT’ mentality,
14) I value my paycheck greatly. Working for others is ok for me as long as I have a paycheck. I don’t really focus on passive income.
15) I have the ‘HOPE’ strategy- I believe that ‘if only the right Break comes along in my life, I would be wealthy and happy’.
So, that’s the Key Distinctions between an Entrepreneur vs an employee mindset.
