Conflicting Mindsets

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 find yourself in the position described above, then you are perhaps ready to build your financial empire. Remember, you must be working on your own, whether part or full-time. While it is technically correct that you are a business owner, you should not consider yourself one; you are a job owner. If you owned a business, it would work for you; you would not be working it.

However, owning your own job is not a bad thing. Owning your own job is the start to building a business. You need to own your own job before you begin to build a business.

Building a business is different from building a job. The mindset of a job-builder is something like, "I want to get all this done, but I need help. I'll hire people to do the work that I cannot, and I'll do as much of the work myself as I can; the more work I do, the more money I make."

The business-builder thinks otherwise, "The more I work, the less it is a business for me, and the more it is like a job. I will hire out as much as I can afford, and I'll use my personal savings to afford even more. I will lose money for a long time, but that is okay, because eventually it will be so big that it will make me money without my working in it."

So, try not to think about how much money you could be making if you did more of the work yourself. You should be excited to spend the earnings from the business and as much of your own personal money as possible on the business! If the business was providing you with a lot of money, it would be alarming, because it should be spent on hiring people to do the work.

The mindset of a person who builds jobs is very different from one who builds businesses. One is not superior to the other, but one will give you freedom while the other will trap you into work. - 23196
