Do You Think Like an Employee or Like an Entrepreneur?

Are you currently an employee who yearns for the freedom and control of your own business? Or maybe you’re a business owner who is tired of the day-to-day struggle of paying the bills and keeping the doors open, often working harder and getting paid less than your employees? (And, by the way, most of us have had those moments before.) No matter what role you have today, you might be unhappy because your mindset doesn’t mesh with what you’re actually doing.
