CHAPTER 1 THE MAKING OF A MILLIONAIRE ENTREPRENEUR

I am definitely not implying that having a formal education
is bad or that being an employee first is not useful. In fact, I
think that going to college is extremely rewarding and useful.
I also believe that working for someone else first will allow
you to learn from other people’s experiences and accelerate
your learning curve. This is precisely why I chose to finish my
business degree at NUS and excel in it at the same time.

However, what I am saying is you must not allow your mind
to be conditioned with some of the limiting beliefs and attitudes
that a formal education may bring. As you work for someone
else as an employee, avoid thinking like an employee and
getting into the employee’s mindset. Instead, think and work
like the boss…as if you own the business.

In the table below I have illustrated the difference between
thinking and acting like an employee and thinking and acting
like an entrepreneur.

Employee Mindset Entrepreneur’s Mindset

Finds an excuse or something Takes responsibility for

to blame when things go mistakes and change to make

wrong things better

Just do my job. Everything Everything that affects the
else is not my problem business, affects me.
Everything that affects the
business is my concern

Fearful of making mistakes I dare to venture & accept
and failing failure & making mistakes
because that is how I learn
