Most entrepreneurs work VERY hard. Often, they put in long hours, and a lot of them don’t make any money. In fact, in some companies, the only people who make any money are the employees, because the business owners haven’t figured out how to create a result in a way that allows them to be profitable.
I look at it this way: Businesses solve problems for a profit.
A lot of business owners not only haven’t figured out how to solve problems, but they also haven’t figured out how to get paid profitably for solving those problems.
What can you do?
The biggest obstacle to your growth is yourself. When you’re looking in the mirror, you’re looking at the problem…but you’re also looking at the solution.
If you ever feel hopeless, overwhelmed, or confused – you can turn it around. If you have a desire to build and grow a more successful business – you can. All money earned ethically is a by-product of value creation. Anyone you interact with, to whatever degree you can, do your best to leave them better off than they were before you showed up.
As a conscientious entrepreneur, treat people well. Give people exactly what you say you will – or better. If you make a mistake, try to fix it. Don’t become entitled. Become responsible for your success and your future.
