What Makes An Entrepreneur Different From A Comfort-Zone Employee?
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Almost everyone has heard about millionaires being made with internet marketing but if you made a hundred calls and offered those people the opportunity, a high percentage would pull that cushy feeling of a regular job up around their neck. They'll blow you off like a bad temptation.
Unfortunately, entrepreneurs make a small percentage of our population at this time. The idea of starting their own business has been unfairly stamped with a big warning label "High Risk." This is a major change from a few decades ago. We've gone soft and it has shown up in our economy.
To get the point of how this is simply an attitude that can be changed, take a look at this scenario of someone being offered a job with a large corporation.
"Hello Mr. Jones. I'm calling you from a debt-free company that has a terrific product and in-house training. We have job openings for marketing specialists. We will train you, let you hire as many people as you want with one proviso ... if you don't sell anything, you won't get paid. On the other hand, Mr. Jones, if you study hard and do your job, you could make quite a bundle! You could even retire within a couple of years on a healthy six-figure income. Sound good?"
If Mr. Jones is a comfort-zone employee he will turn this job down in a flash. One thing he is certain of is that he cannot count on a production based income. He needs a wage with which he can predict no matter how badly he does his job. He cannot count on himself. How did he get like this? One thing you can do for him is ask him and let him talk. He may just figure it out for himself. But if he doesn't, let him go. He won't be a leader until he comes out of that groove he is stuck in.
So why wouldn't Mr. Jones take the offer? He has failed at it before or his associates failed or a family member failed and, "Oh, no, he's not going to fail like that again or ever. He can't see that he's sitting right smack in the middle of failure already insisting that it won't happen! In other words, he never stopped failing through his inability to ever get started.
Getting educated on a subject can change all that. A person can, while studying the subject, spot what they did wrong and thereby know it will not happen again. It can build self-confidence and even make leaders.
There are major differences in views of predictability and comfort. While Mr. Jones needs his wage, schedule and easily done job, the entrepreneur is only happy when his destiny is in his own hands. he is comfortable when every day is a new adventure. Luck has nothing to do with anyone's fortune.
Certainly there is no connection between age, color, race, nationality and how much money you can earn in network marketing. People of all ages and characteristics can make the big money and have. They earned it, they got it.
Some call this winning attitude "the personal why" or motivation but the idea is a driving force that makes you want it badly enough to do what you have to do to get it. Could be time with the kids or travel but its personal. The 9-to-5er doesn't get this. Ask the grocery clerk the last time his company held a motivational conference. He has his wage, his favorite TV show, food on the table and a comfortable bed. It's a trap. Network marketing just would not go without that drive.
Any business large or small, corporate or entrepreneurial, has to find a way to get and keep the wheels turning toward expansion or they will crumble. Truly it is the job of each and every one of those involved in that company. However, leaders will always emerge and hold things together whether it is Marge who keeps everyone smiling or Joe who covers for you when you need a day off or the sales manager who gets his team to pass their target.
In Network Marketing, the leaders hold the whole thing together and that is a challenge some people cannot resist. It keeps them alive and thriving. The rewards can sometimes surpass your wildest dreams and that can make it all the more fun. Are you a couch potato or entrepreneur? Only you can answer that question.
