More of the same or something different?
We all ask ourselves that question from time to time, as we strive to improve our quality of life or get our work/life balance in closer harmony. The thing is, it is all too easy to think we are going for something new and better, when in reality we have just repeated the same core errors.
For example, I received an email this week from a reader, who I will call Bob. Bob explained that he had worked as a web designer for a large, New York based web design company for 4 years. He left and set up his own web design business, because he was sick of his boss and wanted to make more money. 3 years later, he tells me he works almost twice as many hours for just 30% more income and instead of having one boss, he feels like he has dozens of bosses (his clients), who he works for, rather than with.
Many courageous people make the change from employee to business owner, yet they bring their employee mindset with them. They often end up not running a business, but running a job! In fact, many of the people who work with me on my mentoring program made similar mistakes to Bob, so I work with them to turn what they are doing into an effective business.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly recommend you either learn how to transition what you do so that your business is working for you, or find someone like myself who already knows what you need to do and can help.
It’s both soul destroying and 100% unnecessary for you to carry on running a job, if you really want to be directing an exciting and profitable business instead.
