Big business and small business:
There is more than one difference between small and big business. We are going to examine, however, just one of them. We are going to examine a difference not commonly thought of or talked about, which we believe to be the most important difference.
Small businesses run with the owner as a key part of the system. The small business owner attempts to work as much as he can in attempt to spend the least amount of money possible. In his mind, the more he works, the more money is leftover for him after the workday, which means he makes the most money. This is very true in the short term, so he only hires people to do things he cannot do.
Big businesses run with the owner not as a key part of the system. The big business owner attempts to work as little as he can in attempt to free up the most time that he can. In his mind, the less her works, the more free time is leftover for him after the workday, which means he makes the most time.
Both of these mindsets are good, solid approaches to business. Neither is superior to the other. In fact, some people are only cut out for one. Unfortunately, however, most of the people cut out for big business get stuck in small business, because they are unaware of what it takes to be in a big business.
For example, if you are a professional graphics designer, and you are happiest when you are making pictures, then you should do the small business approach.
If you are seeking money or free time, then you should take the route of big business; small business would make you miserable and discouraged.
The small business approach will lead to a lot of work. Remember, the more you practice at something, the better you will get at it, and the more people will seek you for your skills. You will end up with a lot of work, because that is what you were looking for. You got what you were really after.
The route of big business leads to lots of free time. You are seeking more time, because you want the income to be automatic, remember? Well, your business will become more and more automatic as time goes on, so, in the end, you end up with lots of free time. You also got what you wished for.
So you see, you get what you seek.
If you seek more work (because it puts more money in your pocket at the end of the day), you will end up, after many years, with lots of work to do.
If you are seeking free time, you will also find more than you could ever imagine.
Both approaches are excellent. However, be sure you are going after what you want. Many people who want to build a business to get free time are actually seeking to get more work, but they do not realize it. They think they are seeking time, but they are really seeking work. Someday, you will get what you are really after, not what you think you are after.
