I have written extensively about the fact that you want someone else to wipe your ass…
OK, not literally, not factually, but in essence.
One of the areas where this is completely clear is the number of people who want to be entrepreneurs, they want to own and run a business, but the above attitude is in their way.
It is a whole different thing to take a job, even to freelance, even to be self-employed, and creating and running a business.
I have two brothers. Both shied away from that option: they preferred a situation where someone else buys the chair, the computer, the software, the solutions, the bookkeeping, the location, the everything… and they just do the work, however many hours a day, and get paid.
It drives me bonkers to hear the expression, so and so business owner did this and that, to give back to the community.
Give back what?
Business owners create jobs so people with less initiative can earn a living. They are already giving everything they need to give, all they need to give to earn respect, gratitude, etc.
