Updated: Mar 3
If you've always wanted to have your own business it is perhaps the time to see if you actually fit in the emotional profile of being an employee, freelancer (expert) or a self standing entrepreneur. Ready?
Employee
You know how to do tasks
Your mood is in accordance to the salary (you get used to the idea of having money monthly)
You like the idea of a stable working place
Fear of making wrong – someone is higher in hierarchy that assumes the responsibility (running of responsibility)
Tell me how, what I have to do
Traits
Good execution – you get used to having to do tasks
Stability – this is what I have to do, this is what I do
Subordination – I know how to get ‘orders’
Fear of change – fear of restructures
Lack of initiative – tendency to preserve
Standstill – develop personally or professionally, the personality (if it is god, why would I change)
How to work with it
Decide deadlines – smaller, shorter, but more often
Finish what you started
Create your working routine – it helps you becoming more efficient
Our intention is none of making you quit, but analyzing from the beginning what you are good at, can give you the directions of who you are at this moment.
Don't be afraid to learn and improve!
