E-flections: ENTREPRENEURIAL SCHITZO

From the eMyth

There are multiple personalities in the business mind. There is a few as three.

3 PERSONALITIES

1) The technician
The backbone of the business who does all the grunt work.

2) The Manager
The planner who only sees problems and how they can be fixed

3) The Entrepreneur
The visionsary who thinks about the future and where the business is going.

In short...
The technician works on being better at working.
The manager analyzes and improves systems
The Entrepreneur sets the course

Which are you...well you need to be all three in one...like the TRINITY.
 
I find it interesting that our mind has on more than one occation been characterized as being compartmentalized.  Think ID, EGO, AND SUPER EGO.  We often play this theatrical game of being "different" types of people in different situations.Like actors in Rome...changing our masks to fit various parts.  Well in life all you should be, needs to be displayed at home, at work, when you unwind, just chilling, building relationships, or when no one is watching.  Same with business.

You have to be the person who knows how it should be done...not so you can do it all yourself, but because you must develop a system that makes it get done.  You have to be the manager, because you must monitor how things are getting done, and teaching the people who run your "do-it-all" system.  You also have to be the entrepernuer who charts the vision and direction that the business goes.  This leads to the business revolving around your life, not your life revolving around a "business." In order to properly do this, there has to be help not found on earth or within.  Great men in history have been successful in economic climates far less hospitible than todays recession.   The problem with our economy is that it sways with the faith and hopes of many, and it seems they are always scared and pessimistic.  We all individually need to know that God is at the forefront of true success, if we would just give our lives over to Him wisdom and purpose.
