Entrepreneur Mindset: be Your own Boss: 1, #0

By Derek Goneke

Do you find yourself exhausted from constantly obeying orders from those above you? Are your brilliant ideas perpetually overlooked, despite their potential for success? Have you ever imagined becoming your own boss and steering your own ship toward triumph?

Many people share the aspiration to control their professional lives. The prospect of making independent decisions, rewarding yourself with a gratifying income, smoothly transitioning between innovative concepts, and enjoying well-deserved breaks when desired is enticing but also somewhat overwhelming.

Embarking on the path of entrepreneurship is far from effortless. It presents numerous obstacles and is not a journey suited for everyone. To truly flourish, you must adopt the right attitude, arm yourself with adequate preparation, and be resolute in taking your concept from vision to reality.

The Entrepreneurial Mindset is designed to assist you in doing just that.

His books on Emotional Intelligence and the Entrepreneur Mindset are both aimed at helping individuals become more motivated and achieve their life goals. Derek's greatest passion and true joy - aside from being a self-proclaimed die-hard Liverpool FC fan - is being a father. He believes that being a dad is a great privilege, nothing short of amazing. He loves spending time with his family, and he takes this role very seriously. He relishes this role so much that he has also crafted children's books because of this. Not only does fatherhood allow him to become a better man, but it also makes his books more appealing to children because he knows their language and understands their fears, their needs, their happiness, and their apprehensions. The themes of his children's books center on destiny, heroism, and adventure. Calling the great state of Tennessee home,

Introduction

Y

ou are free to be, do, or have whatever you want–right now.

Society’s twisted perception confuses regular jobs... these days and warped for centuries.

Everyone tells you that getting a job means freedom to live your life your way or earning money so you can do whatever you want later on when you get old.

Of course, that’s not the truth in today’s world where convinced of what to think and how to act by those who want to sell us something while we get lost with the wave of traditions and become more like a mindless machine each passing day.

Society is telling you, you must work for somebody else so you can afford things others have and that you must do it for as long as possible because money is the way to live.

What’s worse is that most people are too busy believing they cannot survive without a regular job, so they opt for security over freedom and don’t even try to seek other options.

It seems we all forget why we started doing what we do. We forget about the dreams we once had and that there’s still a universe out there waiting to be explored.

ou don’t need a regular job to feel you’re being productive and making progress in life. It’s the present-day belief that has brainwashed everyone into thinking otherwise, and it’s unfortunate if you let it get the best of you.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and there have been plenty of trials. I’ve had so many jobs and worked in different countries for over 5 years.

However, there were always those few months when I felt like everything was going downhill, making me wonder what the hell I was doing with my life that whole time.

My income would go from triple digits to double digits and, as a result, my life would go downhill too.

I’ve done this job for so many years, but still I lack the mindset of being self-employed. It’s like drowning when you know that there’s air around you and you just accept your fate instead of reaching out for it to get what you want.

However, I can say that there are 2 major differences between regular jobs and the one you choose to make your own:

- Stress. Employees don’t realize that they work only for their managers, so they do everything as if it was a war zone where someone has to be on top at all times. What’s worse is most employees love the mutual threats and try to be friends with their managers in order to survive. All of this creates stress in an employee’s life, making him work overtime and become a slave.

Money. Employees don’t set their salaries. They just get paid what they’re told they should get with no negotiations or counteroffers from their side. That’s why they are perplexed by their salaries and can’t even try to ask for a raise when they’re on the verge of quitting.

Self-employed people decide how much they should get paid and only work on things that benefit them in the end–considering no deadlines or pressures imposed by anyone but themselves.

I don’t know about you, but these two differences are enough to keep me away from companies and regular jobs.

So, why would I want to start another company when I already have one of my own in the first place?

I just mentioned that employees lack a sense of ownership for their work and this is what my company is doing for me and other entrepreneurs.

My company is an amazing tool which helps you manage your own
