Most people who call themselves “entrepreneurs” are just employees who happen to own the business.
That statement pisses off a lot of people when I say it at conferences.
But it’s true.
They show up every day, do tasks, follow routines, and collect a paycheck…
Just like any other employee.
I share this with you because I see business owners working 70-hour weeks, handling customer service calls, managing inventory, doing bookkeeping, creating content, and wondering why their business isn’t growing.
Real entrepreneurs think completely differently.
They don’t work IN their business. They work ON their business.
HERE’S THE TYPE OF THINK YOU NEED IN BUSINESS:
EMPLOYEE THINKING: “I need to handle this customer complaint myself to make sure it’s done right.”
ENTREPRENEUR THINKING: “I need to create a system so any team member can handle complaints consistently.”
EMPLOYEE THINKING: “I should be the one doing sales calls – I’m the best closer.”
ENTREPRENEUR THINKING: “I need to document my sales process and train others to close deals.”
EMPLOYEE THINKING: “If I work longer hours, I’ll get more done.”
ENTREPRENEUR THINKING: “If I eliminate low-value tasks, I can focus on high-impact decisions.”
EMPLOYEE THINKING: “I need to be involved in every decision.”
ENTREPRENEUR THINKING: “I need to create clear decision-making frameworks for my team.”
This is exactly what I do with my Domination Year clients. I help them identify every task they’re doing that keeps them trapped in employee mode, then we systematically build the systems, processes, and team to handle those tasks without them.
I help you work on things that only you can do – vision, strategy, key relationships, and major decisions.
Employees get paid for their hours. Entrepreneurs get paid for their decisions.
People like us already have the ability to think like an entrepreneur.
The hardest part is stopping ourselves from acting like employees.
Because as long as you’re working the hardest on employee-level tasks, you’ll never break through to 7-figures.

P.S. If you’re ready to stop being a well-paid employee and start thinking like a CEO, my Domination Year coaching program is designed specifically for entrepreneurs who want to make this transformation. But only if you’re serious about changing how you operate, not just what you do.
