Entrepreneur vs Employee

One of the main reasons most businesses don’t succeed is because people don’t understand the difference between an entrepreneur and an employee. A true entrepreneur doesn’t work in his business. A entrepreneur creates jobs for other people. An employee works in the business. That’s the reason why there are so many business failures today. We have too many employees who don’t know how to be an entrepreneurs attempting to run businesses. You cannot run a business with an employee mindset. Employees and Entrepreneurs are two different people. You can’t compare them because their thought process is different. Employees look for jobs, entrepreneurs create jobs. For the past 3 years I have been living as an entrepreneur. I refuse to work for anyone. The reason I say there is a difference between entrepreneurs and employees is because employees work because they feel they have to. Employees feel comfortable getting a steady income. They work because they have been taught that working is the American way. Entrepreneurs are different. Entrepreneurs know that there are so many employees who are willing to work so they create jobs for these people. An entrepreneur’s job isn’t to work in the business. Their job is to create a team who runs the business for them. They go out and hire the smartest people who can run their business. Entrepreneurs hire the managers and the managers hire the employees. Managers run the business how the entrepreneur tells them to. That’s why managers are payed higher than employees. The sad thing about this is nine times out of ten the manager is way smarter than the entrepreneur. It’s just the thought process. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the world to be an entrepreneur. You just have to know how to create and demand respect. Think about all the top paying jobs in the world. The owners of these companies created and demanded respect. They created something of their own. People respect entrepreneurs. That’s why they work for them. For example, look at Bill Gates. If Bill Gates came to you tomorrow and offered you a job you would take it. The reason you would take this job is because you respect Bill Gates and his company. Bill Gates is an entrepreneur. I am pretty sure there are so many people working for Bill Gates that are smarter than him. He gained those smart people’s respect and now they are continuing to build his business. That’s how I am going to be one day. I never want to work for anyone. I hate the word “job.” Every time I think about working I get frustrated. As an entrepreneur I am going to have to work but not like an employee works. I am going to have to work my brain to create my business while an employee uses their hands to run someone else’s. It is truly a different thought process for an entrepreneur and an employee. I will continue to post on this topic. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I am currently working on my book which should be finished in the near future.
