One of the reasons why being an entrepreneur is so powerful is that you don’t worry about who gets the credit, only results. That’s an ownership mentality. It aligns your interests with business success.
Contrast this to the state of affairs at most large organizations, where as an employee, you’re ability to get results will only pay off if you combine it with a (brown) nose for getting credit for those results.
Owners don’t have to give themselves performance reviews and raises. They grow the damn business and take all the profits.
Which approach would you prefer to take?
