Mindset. I was struck last week by how drastic the difference between how an employee and an entrepreneur think. It affects their actions, comfort level, what they value and their risk profile. Although I love my job for the aspects that have to do with creative relationship and systems building, I have strong entrepreneurial tendencies as a freelancer, real estate investor, network marketer and online marketer for many years. Also, I see having multiple streams of income (one of which is my job) as safer than just having a job.
An employee wants a steady, stable job to pay the bills and feel safe. If the money from one job is not enough, they will probably get a second. If they can, they put any extra money aside for savings, college education for the kids, retirement, vacation or maybe a car (not so essential in NYC where I am). They want to be paid as much as they can negotiate and these days, most people stay at a job two years, then move on, leveraging their income and status up with each move (or at least that’s the idea when it works). They like the structure of going to a workplace each day and interacting with other people in a structured workflow, of having medical benefits and, sometimes, even a 401K. They look forward to retirement when they will have time to spend with family and friends, maybe travelling or pursuing a hobby.
An entrepreneur wants time and financial freedom as quickly as possible and is willing to exert significant time and money resources upfront to accomplish that. They don’t work comfortably for other people and are impatient with corporate politics and ineffective teamwork. These are business owners, real estate investors, freelancers by choice (not circumstances), stock and futures traders, franchisees, online marketers, network marketers and consultants to name a few. They are always looking to add to their skills because it makes them more marketable. Their cashflow tends to be variable and some businesses can take 2-5 years before they show a profit. They have a strong stomach for risk and certainty that, at the end of the failures, they will succeed. They must have strong internal certainty that, if they invest focused attention on building their enterprise, it will pay off. Sometimes, they are ahead of the curve and an idea that could (and often does) succeed later, fails. After all, until the Walkman, nobody knew that portable music was an essential element for a rich quality of life. There’s a book called Blue Ocean Strategy about creating new paradigms for business that make the competition irrelevant. Amazing!
Yes, I know these are generalizations and there is more to it than that. So what does your mindset tell you about who you are inherently – an employee or an entrepreneur? Are you happy and fulfilled with your current mindset? As an employee or entrepreneur, how can you expand your possibilities? When will you start? NOW would be good...

This New York Investing meetup below has great content on investing in the markets. Daryl Montgomery is VERY knowledgable. The people who attend are not very friendly so it is content-rich, not networking-friendly, in my opinion.
New York Investing Meetup
Thursday, November 12th at PS 41 (time: 6:45-8:45PM).
The overview of the markets will be given during the class. This class will add some new material in Technical Analysis and tie it together with previously taught material. If you missed any of the previous Technical Analysis classes you should certainly come to this one. This class will be the preparation necessary to attend the strategy sessions we plan on holding next year. These will be technical in nature with the goal of finding more good money making trades and avoiding losses. The market is likely to continue to have a number of major pitfalls and opportunities next year.
In the last class on Commodity Investing, I covered the gold breakout extensively and so far everything has gone as predicted. Gold touched it's breakout price of $1025. The breakout held. Gold just went to a new all time high (reaching $1099 on Wednesday). The stock market looks like it is trying to roll over and we will also discuss if the rally has come to an end. I plan on pointing out a new area for potential investing as well.

This blog from Atlanta Fed (http://macroblog.typepad.com/macroblog/) discusses some of the economic research and data involved which include permanent loss of jobs, giving existing employees more hours or hiring freelancers, no longer filing because they have run out of unemployment and tightening of lending from the banks which has put many small businesses out of business.
I myself have been out of work and drawing unemployment, off and on for seven months in 2009, and it has just run out so I have personal experience of this phenomenon. In the course of this time, I have fallen behind on bills, caught up when I got work, only to fall behind again when the work disappeared. I have lost my health insurance with Freelancers Union and cannot find enough work to requalify for eligibility for the group rate. I have become very familiar with payment plans. I am attempting to work with the bank that has placed two investment properties on preforeclosure status and that's a whole other horrific story for another moment. I have felt discouraged, ashamed, fearful and depressed. Looking at the numbers, I know I am not alone - that there are many others in similar situations.
My feeling is that, first of all, the unemployment numbers are much higher than portrayed and secondly, the biggest deterrent to the recovery of this economy is low morale and loss of self-esteem - in short, just giving up. I hear people complaining that Obama has not delivered on his promises but the problems are much bigger than any one man, even such an extraordinary one, can solve alone. In my opinion, this crisis provides an opportunity for people to step up and become self-reliant and financially independent. It is a time for us to build businesses, big and small, and pursue passions to make money for ourselves, to stand up individually and together, and be counted on to help solve the problems we face as a nation and a world. Together and united, our range of influence is vast.

How to Evaluate Your Network Marketing Company (Before You Join)
When you join a network marketing company, consider your purpose FIRST.
Will this network marketing opportunity be your part-time or your full-time business?
How much time and money are you willing to spend building your business and for how long?
What return on your investment (amount of money you expect to make) do you need for it to be worthwhile starting?
COMPANY
Does the company have a track record or is it a new launch?
If the company is an established company, it will have more credibility and provide a higher comfort level for your downline but, unless the company changes the comp plan or adds a new line of products to create new excitement about participating, growth will be much slower if you join later. Historically, early movers make the most. However, if a stable company innovates, its progress can be unstoppable because all the systems are already in place and functioning well and credibility is unquestionable.
If the company is a launch, its success and longevity is untested. It may or may not be around in a year, depending on whether the timing is right for the product or service, whether the idea and comp plan are sexy enough to excite interest, whether the company has enough capital to survive growing pains, and whether big network marketing players choose to jump in. That said, EVERY company begins with an idea and being positioned at the top in a successful launch company can be worth millions.
TEAM
Are your upline sponsor and team exceptional leaders?
Your odds of building a successful team of your own improve if they are. In addition to company marketing support (replicated Web site, teleconference calls, Webinars), a great upline can add supplemental calls, Webinars and local meetings). Network marketing stars can also identify the great opportunities more easily than the average person because of their previous experiences. Follow their lead.
Do you like and trust them as your partners in your business?
Determine what values and qualities you need in your partnership for it to work. Code of honor, trust, integrity, teamwork are a good start.
Have they made significant money in network marketing in the past?
If you want to make an extra $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 a month extra in your business, you need to hang out with upline leaders who have done over $10,000 a month already in a previous network marketing business and can show you how. If you want to make millions, learn from millionaires and do what they do.
PRODUCT
Do you love and use the product or service?
If you are excited about a product or service from your own experiences, that energy is infectious to other people. You will be able to tell others how it helped you and how it could benefit them too. If your offer fits what they are looking for, they will follow you. If, on the other hand, you have no interest in the product, such as someone who doesn't wear makeup becoming an Avon distributor, why would anyone else?
Are you becoming a representative to build a part-time or full-time business with this particular company?
Manage your expectations of money earned and time spent. Network marketing is a people empowerment business at its best. Track your results ongoingly to see how you are doing on your written goals. Be aware nothing happens in a minute except failing. EVERYTHING has a learning curve and, probably, some discomfort to get past what you already know. Start climbing and give yourself a time frame when you will reassess your progress.
Are you becoming a representative to get discounts and to refer friends to the product or service?
Do not expect to make a lot of money if your purpose is primarily to get products or services you love more economically. Remember your own intentions. As a representative, you can choose to apply the effort to build a business as well later, if you like.
COMPENSATION PLAN
How much do you want to make with your business?
Set your financial goals at the beginning and make periodic assessments of your actions taken and results. If you don't define where you are going, you will have a hard time getting there.
What is the compensation plan and does its structure align with your goals?
Understand the compensation plan. There are lots and lots of possibilities (binary, matrix, straight line, profit-sharing, etc.). How do you make money on the front-end and on the back-end? Do you need to make money immediately, later or both? What do you need to do to be paid? Be sure you understand what results you need to accomplish to get to the money. Have someone in your upline explain the pay plan for the opportunity clearly.
PRICE
Is the price right for the value of the offer?
Value is inherently very subjective. To enroll a greater number of people, often the price is lower but the level of engagement in working the business may be less serious. At a higher price, perceived value also goes up. It also varies according to where you are (country, city, suburbs, economic background, neighborhood, ethnic diversity). The only important question is, "Will you pay that price?"
TIMING
Is the timing for the offer NOW?
Look around curiously. What do you observe happening in your town, city, state, country or world? If unemployment is high, income generation opportunities (good, bad & indifferent) will thrive. What problems does the network marketing company that you are evaluating address? For example, a number of network marketing companies have vitamins and supplements intended to address the diminishing nutritional value of the food we grow. What trends do you see in action and what trends can you speculate are coming? Getting ahead of the curve very slightly but not so far ahead that nobody else can see what you do is how to make a LOT of money.
EVALUATE your opportunity and TAKE ACTION - in or out!
