Embrace the Self-Employed Mindset
Introduction
Embracing self-employment begins with a shift in your mindset, not just starting your own business. You can embody this perspective even while working for someone else. Let's explore how you can adopt a self-employed outlook today, without quitting your job.
Redefining Your Role
Traditionally, being self-employed means running your own business. However, changing your perspective can help you feel self-employed no matter where you work. Imagine yourself not as an employee but as a businessperson selling your labor. This shift encourages a proactive and empowered approach to your work life.
Breaking Free from the "Employee" Mindset
The term "employee" often suggests a lack of control, reminiscent of phrases like "wage slave." This perspective can feel limiting, as if your boss dictates everything. But there's a better way to view your role.
Start Your Business Mindset Today
Think of your employer as a customer. If you dislike the terms of your "contract," you have the power to negotiate or find a new "customer." This mindset has allowed me to avoid feeling trapped in any job. Every position is a business opportunity, and I choose the most suitable one for me. Currently, my own business is the best choice.
Being stuck in a job you dislike creates bitterness, but with the right mindset, you can avoid this pitfall. I've had challenging employers but never let them embitter me. In business, as in life, you sometimes deal with difficult clients if the reward is worthwhile.
A Real-Life Example
Years ago, I worked at a casino that didn't pay minimum wage but made up for it with generous tips. While many colleagues felt cheated, I viewed the situation as a businessman would. The pay exceeded other potential job offers, and despite some challenges, it was a profitable venture.
Steps to Embody a Self-Employed Mindset
1. Financial Preparedness: Save a little each month and avoid bad debt. Good debt, which leads to income or profits, can be beneficial. Keep your expenses low to ensure financial freedom.
2. Take Charge of Your Future: Feeling trapped is usually a result of financial mismanagement. Smart planning prepares you for job changes and seizes new opportunities.
3. View Work as a Business: You sell your labor, skills, and knowledge. This perspective opens doors to better jobs and business activities, but most importantly, it grants you freedom.
Even if you stay in the same job for decades, with this mindset, you'll feel independent. You make the business decisions, and this acceptance of responsibility offers true freedom.
Conclusion
Starting today, embrace the mindset of being self-employed. It's not just about running a business?"it's about taking charge of your career and feeling empowered in every job you take.
