Introduction<br />

In entrepreneurship, result is a critical<br />

measure of growth. <strong>The</strong> very best<br />

entrepreneurs across the world are<br />

high-producers, who have discovered<br />

better ways of bringing value to the<br />

market by simply doing what they love,<br />

and are good at. <br />

U n d e r s t a n d i n g t h e c o n c e p t o f<br />

entrepreneurship and the specific sets<br />

of strategies that produce the ‘highest<br />

results’ is fundamental to growing your<br />

business. Before sharing the four<br />

strategies you need to get good at for<br />

growing your business entrepreneurs,<br />

let me first correct the misconception<br />

that stops many entrepreneurs from<br />

growing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two types of economies<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are two types of economies; the<br />

“Time-and-Effort” economy, and<br />

“Results” economy. Organizations<br />

operating in the time-and-effort<br />

economy include large corporates,<br />

educational institutions, government,<br />

and health organizations. This economy<br />

consists of about 80% of the global<br />

workforce offering guaranteed income,<br />

job security, and a set of predictable<br />

a c t i v i t i e s . A g re a t m a j o r i t y o f<br />

entrepreneurs started out in the Time -<br />

and-Effort economy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Results economy, on the other<br />

hand, is the high risk, unpredictable<br />

world of the entrepreneur. <br />

O v e r t h e p a s t s i x d e c a d e s ,<br />

entrepreneurship was founded on the<br />

p r e m i s e o f c r e a t i n g g r e a t e r<br />

opportunities, generating higher<br />

income, and living a freedom lifestyle. <br />

Till date, that foundational premise is<br />

still at the core of the decisions and<br />

a c t i o n s t a k e n b y s u c c e s s f u l<br />

entrepreneurs. Those in the Results<br />

economy deliberately chose to give up<br />

the comfort of guaranteed income to<br />

pursue their own vision of a future that<br />

promises bigger and better reward,<br />

although, with higher risks.<br />

T i m e - a n d - E ff o r t , a n d R e s u l t s<br />

economies operate on different<br />

ideologies. For example, in a Results<br />

economy, successful entrepreneurs<br />

focus most on ‘results’ by taking more<br />

risks, while the bureaucratic nature of<br />

large corporates leads operators in the<br />

T i m e - a n d - E ff o r t e c o n o m y t h e<br />

opportunity to a risk averse and<br />

‘entitlement’ attitude. <br />

Coincidentally, individuals coming into<br />

entrepreneurship from Time-and-Effort<br />

economy tend to demonstrate both<br />

bureaucratic and entitlement attitudes,<br />

which usually makes them experience<br />

f r u s t r a t i o n a n d a s l u g g i s h<br />

entrepreneurial growth.<br />

This Free Report will show you some<br />

key concepts for creating measurable<br />

results in the Results economy.<br />
