Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset

Duration: 1.9 hours

No one is born an “entrepreneur”! While some may seem to adopt the entrepreneurial spirit early on, most of us start out as employees and in turn develop an “Employee Mindset.” As you are building your VA or Freelance business, it is very important to make the critical shift from an “Employee Mindset” to an “Entrepreneurial Mindset”!

    In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded Freelance University with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Freelancers and VAs from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 25,000 Virtual Assistants and Freelancers in more than 75 countries. Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building our Online University while raising our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you either in this program or at our University very soon. I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."

    I found this a very compelling course - I have the employee mindset and have always wanted to break free and do what I love. There is a lot of positive material here that will help me start to develop a way to break free...I just have to find that niche. It's hard after being an employee for over 30 years.

    This was a magnificent course...even for the second time around! I revisited the course because I was feeling a bit off track with my business. I'm glad I invested the time to review this again and take stock of my progress from the last time. One particular area of progress is having a "growth" mindset that allows for creativity as I build of my skills and services.

    It doesn't matter if you've had your own business for years or if you are just starting out. This course is a "must take" to help all of us remember that we are not the employee in our business. Losing the employee mindset and building an entrepreneur mindset takes time. This workshop gives you the tools to stop being treated like an employee and skills on how to manage your business and client relationships like a true business owner.
