Is there any difference between a JOB and WORK?
Well, technically, they're related but not quite the same.
Think of it like this: your job is what you get paid for, like a specific role or task you do. But work, well, that's a bit broader. It's all the effort you put in, whether you're getting paid for it or not.
The reality is that most of us tend to operate in a "JOB" mindset. We want to get paid for every little thing we do, which holds us back from growing. It's like doing homework in school to get good grades and then expecting to get paid for studying. It doesn't quite work that way.
See, when you work, especially when you upskill yourself, you're investing in your future value.
That's why entrepreneurs, the successful ones at least, understand this concept well. They're willing to work for free initially to show the value they can bring to their clients. It's about building that trust and credibility first.
So, while it might appear that these entrepreneurs are working for free, but they're laying the groundwork for future success. They start with lower prices, prove themselves, and then gradually increase their rates based on the value they deliver.
It's a smart strategy that sets them apart from those stuck in the "JOB" mindset.
This is the number 1 mistake that new entrepreneurs make.
They don't understand the difference between JOB and WORK and continue to operate out of their "JOB" Mindset.
Do you have any such experience? What was the mistake you made? Please share.
