Entrepreneur vs Employment
97% of the USA population believes it is better to have a job than be an entrepreneur.
And it's not too surprising why...
All our lives we've been told to study hard, keep our nose to the grindstone and get a good job.
Schools are designed to teach us how to work for someone else.
I get it. There's logic behind it.
It's what your parents did and what their parents did before them.
If you're working for someone else, you don't have to worry about where the money is coming from.
You don't have to worry about the health of the company. You can count
on that check every 2 weeks. All you have to do is put in the hours,
then you can go home and focus on the things that really matter to you.
You're also a part of something bigger than you - a business that is solid and reliable.
At least that's what we're sold by the company.
The reality is, perhaps, a bit different. Businesses constantly go under. Employees
are regularly downsized. Lots of faithful, hardworking people lose their jobs because,
as employees, they are less important than the owners of the business. THEY ARE EXPENDABLE.
It's not because the owners of the business are bad people. It's just that business
owners and managers focus and priorities are different than their employees' priorities.
As an entrepreneur, you are responsible for your success. That can be
terrifying. If you don't do the work, you've got nobody to blame but yourself.
Whenever my business slacks off a bit,
it's very tempting to blame the market or some outside force that's impacting it.
And it may be true to some extent but the reality is,
if you have a business and it's not succeeding, it's your own damn fault.
That is also the BEAUTY of having your own business.
You are in control. No matter what happens around you, you can solve the problem.
As long as you've got a brain and a willingness to do the work, nothing can keep you down for long.
You can recover from even the worst crash. You just have to get up,
figure out what went wrong and try it again.
I consider myself to be unemployable. No one would hire me. And if they did,
I probably couldn't work for them very long.
It's not just because I have a big ego or that I'm hard to work with,
it's mainly because I don't want to have to try somebody else's inferior idea
(if I think my idea is better) just because they are my boss.
Not that I always have the best idea. I don't.
If an employee gives me an idea that's better than the one I came up with,
I absolutely want to use it.
I get great ideas from my employees, my team members, and my students all the time that
are BETTER than mine. But I'm the arbiter of what gets implemented in my business.
Having that control and responsibility makes having my own business a lot more fun.
The best part about being an entrepreneur is that there's no cap on the amount of
money you can make or the size of the organization you can build.
Everything is in your hands.
You're no longer thinking about how much you're going to make per hour. You start
thinking in terms of how much you're going to make in a year or two years or five years.
How big do you want your real estate investing business to become?
How many properties do you want to own? How much passive income
do you want to make? Once you have some basic knowledge and ability, it really IS up to you.
Once you make the shift
in the way you think about your role as an entreprenuer, the money often follows.
If you would like to build a business
like this and if you would like my personal help, you should think about my 6-month mentor program.
If you would like me to take you by the hand personally and lead you along the
path and through the minefield, you should consider getting into my mentor program.
If you want to work with me personally (not a hired hand), you can find out all about
my Six Month Mentor program here: http://www.ZeroDownInvesting.com
This website will show you how my program works, what is included,
what it costs, what you can expect from me and what I expect from you if you sign up.
There are 3 training videos on the site that go into great detail about what you need to do
to build a profitable real estate investing business.
They add up to about 2 hours of education. I call them my "Advanced Training" because that is
exactly what they are. If you know nothing about real estate, they may be a bit over your head.
The techniques I teach in these videos come from my personal experience
and you won't find this information anywhere else.
If you aren't interested in working with me personally or
can't afford to join my mentor program, these 3 videos will still be worth your while.
They will give you an overview of my entire business
and show you how to model YOUR business after the step-by-step systems I've created.
Even if you ultimately decide not to join my mentor program,
I can safely say this Advanced Training Program
can completely transform your thinking about building a real estate investing business.
I think these 'Advanced Training' videos are one of the best training
programs I've ever created - and they won't cost you a dime.
They distill my 35 years as an investor and 20+ years as a coach and give you a complete outline
of how we build a powerful, profitable, consistent, reliable, ethical, PEACEFUL business.
They give you the milestones, benchmarks,
and SOPs (standard operating procedures) you need to succeed.
That's it for today!
Good deals are not that hard to find if you have the skill to craft an offer that MAKES SENSE.
I hope you will join me.
