Differences

Here are four signs you’re an employee and not an entrepreneur, yet.

1. Directions over decisions.

Employees receive directions. When they're hired, they get a job description that tells them when to show up and what it takes to do their work.

Entrepreneurs design their roles and decide which directives to pursue. They show up all the time. And they determine not only their own tasks, but the steps for everyone in the company.

2. Rewards over risks.
Employees want guaranteed checks. They want to do their jobs and get paid for performing their duties without wondering about income.

Entrepreneurs assume the risk of not getting paid at times to ensure that others are compensated for their efforts.

3. Security over shifting.
Employees take jobs that provide benefits and pay enough to cover household expenses. They want to get paid when they take time off. They like knowing they work for a strong company and having the assurance they can stay as long as they want, with no thought to downturns.

Entrepreneurs know "steady" might be a short-term concept. They understand shifts in the marketplace or economy could require rapid response. Many thrive on these inevitable changes because they're forced to stay sharp and aware of all business facets.

4. Responsive over responsibility.
Employees respond to the assignment or workload. If something goes wrong, they are quick to point to another part of the company to place blame. Their initial reaction often is to explain why the negative result couldn't be their fault.

Entrepreneurs take responsibility and the blame. It’s not fun. It’s painful and even embarrassing at times. When I had to take out a loan to pay my employees because I completely miscalculated revenue, I wanted to become an employee. The fact is, entrepreneurs are responsible because they helm the ship.
