Chasing Liberty

There is a basic difference between an employee mindset and a business owner mindset. The employee mindset works on the minimum mentality while the business owner mindset works on the “whatever it takes” mindset.

A lot of people tell me in the business that they are feeling lost because nobody is fixing plans for them or demos for them and so on. The business owner doesn’t wait for work...that’s employee mentality. Instead they create work....

When you have the ownership mentality, you go hunting for things to do. In our business we have to ‘create’ work most of the time - we will meet people and try to understand where they are stuck, we will initiate a cover dish, a cashflow game, a training, a movie - anything that will lead us to the next level of relationship which will lead to the next level of activity with our people.

We will have to “chase” work to book our calendars. We cannot wait for our business to chase us with work to do. Whether it means being out for contacting or making a list of people we want to meet so we can figure out what we can do with them or making a to-do list every night or drawing the group every night so it tell us where we can work - somehow be able to keep our calendar booked choc-a-bloc....

If we want...liberty.....we will have to chase liberty by chasing work....it will not tiptoe into our homes while we are sleeping....
