Entrepreneurs Don't Fear The Things Victims Fear
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
There are two types of person out there, and inside each of us.? We have a lesser nature, an "inner Victim," which is critical, political, and principally concerned with making sure no one gets more than we get (driven by what the Victim rationalizes as "fairness").? Our better self I call the "inner Entrepreneur," which is courageous, creative, and more concerned with doing whatever it takes to be our best (driven by a zeal for excellence).
We all have both types, and we might move between the types as circumstances change in our lives; but we tend to be more-or-less dominated by one or the other for most of our lives.? We'll be dominated by the inner self we feed and nourish, and will be able to subdue the other self by starving it.? Victims are nourished by fear, envy, and complaint; Entrepreneurs want a steady diet of hope, optimism, and adventure.? Victims, having digested fear and envy, act from a sense of entitlement; Entrepreneurs, because of their very-different nourishment, act from a sense of obligation.? Victims need (and expect) to be taken care of; Entrepreneurs take care of themselves, and of those around them.
Have you ever noticed that some people at work act like they own the place, when they don't?? Sure: the Victim-types act like they are entitled to whatever the business can produce, regardless
