The difference between small and big businesses:
Big business and small business are very different from each other. While they have many differences, we are only going to look at one of them. The difference we are going to look at is one not commonly looked at.
Small business owners are an integral part of the system. Their strategy is to work as much as possible and hire out what they cannot do, either because they lack the skills or the time. In their mind, the more they work and the less they hire out, the more money is left at the end of the day for them.
Big businesses run with the owner not as a key part of the system. The big business owner attempts to work as little as he can in attempt to free up the most time that he can. In his mind, the less her works, the more free time is leftover for him after the workday, which means he makes the most time.
Both approaches are valid, reasonable approaches to business. They both have their merits, and there are types of people for both approaches. However, most people that should be big business owners get stuck running small businesses because they get what they seek.
For instance, a professional belongs in the small business category. Without his expertise, the business could not possibly succeed.
If it is money and/or free time you are after, the small business approach will make you miserable.
The small business approach will lead to a lot of work. Remember, the more you practice at something, the better you will get at it, and the more people will seek you for your skills. You will end up with a lot of work, because that is what you were looking for. You got what you were really after.
After many years of the big business approach, your business will be running by itself, and there is no work for you to do anymore, since your business takes care of it. Thus, you have lots of free time.
So you see, you get what you seek.
If you are looking for work, you will find more than you could ever possibly deal with.
If you are seeking free time, you will also find more than you could ever imagine.
Both approaches are excellent. However, be sure you are going after what you want. Many people who want to build a business to get free time are actually seeking to get more work, but they do not realize it. They think they are seeking time, but they are really seeking work. Someday, you will get what you are really after, not what you think you are after.
