- In this video, we're gonna work out
which entrepreneur you are.
Are you a solopreneur, an entrepreneur,
or an investorpreneur?
Well here's a clip from one of my keynotes
that I did earlier this year, and we'll
discover which entrepreneur you are.
As you're going through, let me know in the comments below.
I wanna know which entrepreneur you are.
Are you gonna rise the entrepreneur's pyramid?
Are you intrigued?
Are you interested?
Stay and watch.
So, here's the big thing that I always try and do
with our business.
I'm always thinking with the end in mind.
You know, it's the seven habits of highly effective people.
You know what the thing though,
I like repeating stuff, and the reason I do some of this
stuff is because I like to remind myself of the
stuff that works.
The biggest entrepreneur's curse, and I've
worked with a lot of entrepreneurs.
I've had entrepreneurs in my couch literally
crying their eyes out and they forget the basic
fundamentals, their always looking for the new
rather than the successful and I constantally
practice this to myself so the reason I do these
seminars, read books, write books, is to
align myself with the stuff that works.
I like doing the common sense stuff gang, but you
know the fact about common sense, what is it?
Not very common, that's right.
I do the speaking for you, you don't have to do anything.
And so I was thinking about, you know *** what are we
trying to build here? What does the bloody
thing look like when it's finished.
Most people just come with succient detail
actually explain what that is and
that is what I try and do.
So I'm always thinking about what the end in mind is.
Who does this brilliantly?
I'll tell you who does this brilliantly.
Jesus. He's really my inspiration really, for this
sort of stuff and I'm not going religious here,
don't worry about it, but you think about a guy whose
got a great low go, got branches all around the world.
(laughter)
Fantastic management team, you know,
he's got a CEO, we'll call him the Pope.
You know, you know he's got area managers,
we'll call them Cardinals,
senior supervisors, we'll call them Bishops,
you know, these guys have got vision, let's bring out
some literature so that everyone understands
what we're doing, we'll call that the Bible, and we have
some cultural standards, yeah
we'll call them the Ten Commandments.
These businesses have been doing this,
I even called them a business, how daring of me,
these organizations, and they're not the only one,
the Army, governments, private schools,
great organizations always have a powerful vision to
attract people to come to them, whether it's
employees, customers, etcetera, etcetera, and
always have an end in mind.
They know what's going to happen, they've
got a great story around them. And so I've looked to
these organizations and tried to do the same for me.
When I've studied entrepreneurs, I've really studied them
as three sets of people. Three types of entrepreneurs,
I call this, ladies and gents, the entrepreneurs
pyramid. And if you'd like to find out, you can get it
in the millionaire guide, my first textural piece of work,
and if you buy it off of Amazon, you'll make Jeff Bezos
some more money, I get about 30 pence, go on Jeff.
So, the entrepreneurs pyramid broken down in three
such as these, 80 percent, 15 percent, five percent, and
I'm going to share them with you right now.
First stage of entrepreneurship is sheep.
Most entrepreneurs, this is 80 percent, sit in the
sheep category. What is the sheep category?
Well, I'll tell you what sheep entrepreneurs do,
the same day in day out. Have you ever watched sheep?
I own some sheep, and that's exactly what they do,
every single day, do the same, day in, day out.
Drives me inane, just mad, and they wait for it to
happen, if it ever happens. They wait to be fed,
they wait for the phone to ring.
They wait for the thing to happen and
basically what they eventually end up
building is this gang, this little
thing here, they build a profitable job.
I just think if you're just going to build a
profitable job go and work for someone.
Come work for me, I mean, I want people to
seriously work for me, they've got time, freedom.
They're like many entrepreneurs within our
organization. So you don't want to be taking the
risk of self-employment just to build a profitable job.
That's not what we want to do. Absolutely not.
Hey gang, thanks for watching the video.
Let me get back to it in just a moment, but I
wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about this.
This is my Entrepreneurs University. This is where we
really ramp up the learning. Now I know you can
watch my videos, but some people really want to grow
their business and they're serious about doing it.
That's why I've created this Entrepreneurs University.
It's where I've got all my blueprints, cheat sheets, and
specialized videos that I don't put out on YouTube that
I know seriously grows the profit in the business.
Now if your serious about growing your business,
then you want to try the Entrepreneurs University and
you can do it for free. I'll let you into the vaults of the
Entrepreneurs University for free, 14 day free
trial to see if this works for you. So if your
serious, there's a link in the video description, and
you can go and try my Entrepreneurs University
for free for 14 days.
Let's get back to the video.
Let's look at the next stage of entrepreneurs, this
will represent a lot of you.
I think I put myself still here.
The ox's. This is the ox entrepreneur.
If I was to describe an ox entrepreneur, I would
describe them as a managing director, a
manager of the business.
Here's what I do, they work hard,
do my own spelling,
they work hard, they are what I call, ladies and gents,
pound turners, so they're very good at turning cash.
They do end up building a profitable business, so
they might have a two, three million pound
organization, my God do they work for it, but
they also are very good at getting deals in the line,
they've got some good, but maybe they've paid off
their mortgage when they get to 65, they've got a
holiday home in Spain, but, by God, they've
worked hard for it.
The finish day of the business is death,
rather than a real plan, succient plan,
they look like their the manager, but effectively they
swap time for money, but they get paid well for it.
They do build a profitable business.
Now this is where we want to be though gang, is the
eagles, this is where we're working to, the
top of the pyramid.
Here's what the eagles do, they are,
what is wrong with me, sorry, I'm just going to, um, I
done this very quickly.
Profit turners, that's what they are.
They make deals happen. They're team makers.
They build profitable teams. That's what they do.
And they build, not a profitable job, not a
profitable business, but they build a
profitable investment, and this makes them
very, very different.
Most people are building profitable jobs, a few
are building profitable businesses,
very, very few are building profitable enterprises.
Investments that someone wants to invest into.
Why are the UK so hot on doing buy-to-let
property investment or investing in property?
Because they know they invest some money in and are
pretty much guaranteed of getting money out.
With a business, that's not always for sure.
But with an investment, it's always for sure.
And if I said to you, you've got to invest some
money into Facebook or Google, you can understand
here I'm investing in Facebook or Google.
You don't naturally think I'm investing into a
business, you feel like your investing.
There's a big difference.
So that's what I'm doing.
Bascialy if you could sum them up, they're
shareholders of their own business.
Even if they own 100 percent, they're shareholders.
They're the chairperson of their business.
They're the owner of their business.
They feel like an investor,
much more than a business owner.
When people come to my seminars, the big thing that I
teach that I'm not doing today is that if you
look up the word entrepreneur in the dictionary,
you'll see it says, "seeker of opportunity", but if you
look up the word investor,
you'll see "the seeker of profit", and so that's why I
always say, we should be investorpreneurs.
There we go, that's what that says, of course it does.
Investorpreneurs, so we're thinking about
profitable opportunities, that's what you need to be
getting into your mind, gang. Am I thinking like an
entrepreneur, or an investorpreneur, so that we're only
seeking profitable opportunities.
The big problem with ox's is that they say yes to
everything. Eagles, you know what they're so good at.
They're so good at saying this word, no, but
when they do say yes, they dive in big time and
make full commitments to actually change the world,
that's the big difference.
