Do you want to make the jump from working for an employer to running your own business? Odds are if you suck as an employee now, then you won’t make it as an entrepreneur. It sounds harsh, but that’s real talk. Learn how to go from employee to entrepreneur by changing your outlook and applying an employee to entrepreneur mindset in your job right now: You Will Always Have a Boss If you want to be an entrepreneur to be your own boss and not have to answer to others, think again. You will always have bosses in the form of clients and partners, and you need to have the work ethic to over-deliver for them. The Business World Won’t Change to Fit Your Schedule. If you want to be an entrepreneur so you can sleep late, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons and probably won’t succeed. Fact is, the business world still tends to operate on a 9-5 schedule, and you need the work ethic to start early most days. Use Your Time as an Employee as Paid Training Whether you’re a barista, a lawyer, or any other type of role, think of your time as an employee as paid training if you’re serious about being an entrepreneur. Stretch yourself to take on tasks you usually wouldn’t want to do, learn from those who have more experience than you, see how they interact with clients, and form strong relationships with others because you’ll never know who can turn into a valuable contact later on when you’re running your own business. If you can do all that, you’ll have a better chance of making it as an entrepreneur. -- ► Subscribe to My Channel Here https://bit.ly/CarlosGilYouTube -- Book Carlos to Keynote Your Next Conference or Event: http://carlosgil.biz/speaking/ Carlos Gil is the author of The End of Marketing: Humanizing Your Brand in the Age of Social Media and AI, international keynote speaker, and award-winning digital storyteller with over a decade of experience leading social media strategy for global brands including LinkedIn, Winn-Dixie, Save-A-Lot and BMC Software.
