I just finished the Financial Freedom Weekend in Edmonton, we had a sold out room, and a great group of people, many of whom are on their way to becoming entrepreneurs.  Cory and Wyatt came up and spent the weekend so we could still see each other around the course times which I soooo appreciate!

It is a little after 5am I am in the Edmonton airport on my way to Boulder for one of the VITA retreats, a little tuckered but looking forward to the trip.  I will stop in to see how the shop(s) are progressing on my old Porsche 356.  I have great hopes that we are actually well into the reconstruction process.  I have seen some pics but it seems as though it is going VERY slowly and I know that they have been waiting for the hand made nose panel and front fenders from Trevor’s Hammer works, which if I am lucky will actually be there by the time I go to check it out!

What I am thinking about is one of the Pillars of our new 90 day Entrepreneurial Freedom Program, and that is a question that was asked many times in the Financial Freedom Weekend, “How do I stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an entrepreneur?”

My first reaction to that is stop asking the question of someone else, and ask the question of yourself!  That being said one of the great challenges of many entrepreneurs is that they don’t ask for enough support…always trying to do it on their own.  So I thought that I would spend some time framing out some of the largest differences in thinking that I perceive.

Employee                                           Entrepreneur

Asks permission                              Asks forgiveness

I can’t afford it                                 How can I create it?

What if I fail?                                     What will I learn?

How much will I get paid?           What is the value of this opportunity?

Measures salary/income             Measures Net worth/passive income

I need safety and security           I create safety and security

I need to earn more                       How can I sell more?

There are MANY more distinctions that are worth exploring, but for the time being focusing on the Entrepreneur side of the page will create freedom an cash for YOU!
