What kind of an entrepreneur are you, really?

I mean…

As entrepreneurs, we all strive for greater freedom - whether that means more time, more money, more impact, more choices, or anything else. But the path to this freedom isn't one-size-fits-all. In fact, there are four distinct archetypes of entrepreneurship, each offering different levels of leverage and potential for freedom. Each of the archetypes can also be steps on your entrepreneurial journey. Or you can choose one level and optimize for it. The point is, that each archetype can be heaven or hell, depending on your choices. I recorded a VIDEO to explain the types.

The Linchpin

The Linchpin, IS the business. This is where many of us start our entrepreneurial journey. As a Linchpin, you're deeply involved in every aspect of your business, from client work to admin tasks. While this role can be limiting, it's possible to optimize your business to maximize both profit and time freedom. The key is efficiency and smart resource allocation. Solopreneurs are linchpins. You can work 60 hour weeks and struggle to make ends meet, or you can work 20 hours a week and make six or seven figures in profits. The great thing is, there is a lot of room for leverage, profit, and growth for expert solopreneurs (not so much for Linchpins with employees) If you want to know how, you should join our Accelerator. This week, you’ll get two months FOR FREE when you sign up for 6 months. Reply to me for more.

The Operator

The Operator works IN the business. At this level, you're managing the business, using people and systems to create efficiency and profit. You've stepped back from doing everything yourself and are now orchestrating a team. This role offers more leverage than the Linchpin, allowing for greater scalability and potential freedom.

The Owner

The Owner works ON the business. Here, you've transitioned into a true leadership role, acting as the strategist and visionary. You're putting key people in leadership positions and focusing on the big picture. This archetype offers significant leverage, as your business can grow and thrive without your constant day-to-day involvement.

The Investor

The Investor works ABOVE the business. At this level, you're not just running a business; you're building wealth. You're investing profits into other assets to maximize returns. This archetype offers the highest level of leverage and potential for freedom, as your money works for you across multiple ventures. The key to achieving greater freedom is to progress through these archetypes, continuously seeking ways to increase your leverage. Each step up provides more potential for time freedom, financial growth, and expanded choices. So, which entrepreneurial type are you? More importantly, which type do you aspire to be? Remember, there's no "right" answer - the best archetype for you depends on your goals, skills, and vision for your life and business.

Here is how to work with me and progress to higher levels of profit and freedom.

1. If you are below $30k months as a solo consultant/freelancer/coach, join the Growth Accelerator at Original Minds. We teach you the simplest way we know to get to $30k months (in 6-12 months, depending on your situation).

You also have the option to join the Original Minds collective, which gives you a collective brand, collaboration opportunities, branding, media, and promotion opportunties. (more on this soon).

2. If you want to get to $100k per month (or more), and want leaning in from me I help you create a growth strategy and game plan, I give you playbooks (how-to), ongoing Slack support, monthly workshops (and we’ll do some live meet-ups/events). It’s a combo with 1:1 support and a group of like-minded entrepreneurs.

3. For people who want lots of 1:1 access to me, I take on less than 10 private clients at a time. You want the above, or maybe you want to add a million more in profits, or plan for an exit. I’ll help you accelerate your growth, simplify, systematize, productize, free up your time, and even plan an exit (if you want).
