Are you thriving or just surviving?

Jan 24, 2025 3:54 am

There are 2 types of business owners.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

➡️ Type 1 - Strategic. Growth oriented. Great work-life balance.⁣⁣

➡️ Type 2 - A firefighter. Survival oriented. No balance whatsoever. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

The difference between the 2? Continue reading…⁣⁣

⁣⁣

✅ Type 1:⁣⁣

⁣⁣

1. Understand they cannot do everything alone so they focus on building the right team and systems so that the business can run without them.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

2. Make sure their team makes decisions and solves problems so that they are free to focus on growth instead of being responsible for every little thing.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

3. They understand their time is limited and they make sure they balance all aspects of business and life (aka, time with family and personal well being).⁣⁣

⁣⁣

4. They stay away from the rate race of more, more and more. They remain focused on creating value for their marketplace.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

5. Freedom is their birth right and a value they live by and protect no matter what.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

⁣⁣

✅ Type 2: ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

1. Have zero belief in systems, they feel systems don’t work in their business. Hence, nothing can happen without their direct involvement because they are the system themselves.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

2. Operate on a low-level of trust; make all the decisions and solve all problems themselves. They are stuck in the day-to-day operations. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

3. They take time for granted, living each day as it comes, they believe “when my business is bigger I will automatically have more time for myself and my family”. That day never really comes.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

4. They are badly stuck in the rat race of more is better, they can never have enough.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

5. They have no freedom whatsoever, living in their own prison called “my business”.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

It all comes down to how you choose to run your business and life.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

The choice can be made today with everything intact the way it is, good, bad or ugly.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

That is the challenge you need to take head on and overcome. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

If you don’t do it now, the day when your business is “bigger” your problems will be bigger.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Waiting for the day when things get better is nothing but a self-constructed lie.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Your happiness and well being matter every single day you are alive.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Don’t put a “business success” condition on it which is at some point in the future that you have no control over. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Do you prioritise your well being as an entrepreneur?⁣⁣
