Are You a Business Owner or an Employee?
Summary
Business owners often embrace the freedom their role provides, while some employees prefer the structure and predictability of a job. Having experienced both, I’ve noticed distinct differences in mentality that distinguish business owners from employees. Here’s a look at these perspectives to help you determine where you might fit best.
Business Owner Mindset
1. Problem Solvers: Business owners thrive on solving problems for others. For instance, the creator of the automatic car starter tackled a common issue for people in cold climates, enabling them to start their vehicles remotely and comfortably.
2. Flexible Hours: Business owners often enjoy the liberty to adjust their schedules. For example, a friend’s husband who runs a home-based business chooses to work in the evenings, allowing him to be with their children during the day.
3. Retirement is Financial, Not Age-Based: As noted in Robert T. Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad," the ability to retire hinges on financial readiness rather than age. A successful business can potentially allow for early retirement.
4. Investments, Not Expenses: Business owners view operating costs as investments in their future. Just as you must add wood to a stove for heat, investing in courses or resources can lead to increased business success.
5. Income Fluctuations: While earnings may vary monthly, business owners focus on the annual income as the ultimate measure of success.
Employee Mindset
1. Structured Hours: Employees trade their time for a steady paycheck, valuing the routine of a standard workday, like 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. After hours, work responsibilities can be deferred or passed to others.
2. Fixed Salaries: Employees are compensated based on the job's value as determined by the employer. If the role’s pay cap is $30,000 annually, that’s the limit within that position.
3. Dependence on Raises: Salary increases are out of an employee’s control, making periodic raises highly anticipated.
4. Traditional Retirement: Retirement plans may rely on age and tenure milestones. Full pensions are often available only after reaching predefined age-service combinations.
5. Consistent Income: Employees favor predictable paychecks, finding comfort in the consistency of monthly earnings.
Conclusion
The perspectives of business owners and employees differ significantly. Understanding these contrasts can help you identify which path aligns with your values and lifestyle, whether that’s the entrepreneurial freedom of business ownership or the stability of being an employee.
