To be successful, a B-type business owner requires:įor S's to evolve into B's, they need to convert who they are and what they know into a system, and many people aren't able to do that.or they're often too attached to their self-contained system to let go and let other people in. This is why if a B-type business owner is on vacation, income still comes in. A B-type of business owns a system and then hires great employees to operate that system.
Saying it simply, an S-type of business owns a job. In an S-type of business, if you take a one-year vacation, you'll have no business to come back to. If you own a B-type business, it's possible to go on vacation for a year, come back, and find your business more profitable than when you left it. You must learn the skills and mindset required by a quadrant in order to find true success there. Why? Because the technical and people skills required to be successful in each quadrant are different. Many people attempt to move from the S quadrant to the B quadrant, but only a few who attempt it actually make it. Many people who want to start a B-type of business wind up with an S-type of business and become stalled in their quest to move to the right side of the CASHFLOW Quadrant-the B for big business and I for investor side. While one is not necessarily better than the other, S-type businesses and B-type businesses have different strengths, weaknesses, risks, and rewards. The problem is that there is a big difference between being in the S quadrant (self-employed) and owning a job and being an entrepreneur in the B quadrant (business owner).
It’s helpful to understand the CASHFLOW Quadrant when thinking about this frequent pattern of claims around the rise of entrepreneurship. The difference between owning a job and becoming a business owner I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw this again in the coming downturn. They were desperate people who have turned to owning a job in order to survive.
And the people starting them weren’t entrepreneurs. In short, much of the new businesses weren’t businesses at all. It may reflect the move by so many unemployed or poorly employed in desperation to start their own companies as the equivalent of second jobs, i.e. Kauffman called these businesses "adults switching into self-employed business ownership," and as Professor Edward Roberts told reporter Gretel Kauffman, "What Kauffman is seeing may in fact reflect the lousy state of the economy outside of the innovation sector. It was reflective of an upward trend at the time.īut, as with everything, context is key. The article reported on a report from the Kauffman Index of Startup Activity, which reported that 550,000 Americans started a new business each month. Take a promising headline from "The Christian Science Monitor" back in 2016 that read, " Why entrepreneurship is on the rise." This just reinforces the claim I’ve made for decades, that being an employee is the least secure position to be in, contrary to popular belief.Įach time there is an economic downturn and lots of people are losing their jobs, it’s not uncommon to see the news talk about the rise of entrepreneurship. I’ve especially seen an uptick in layoff news. If you’ve been paying attention to the economic news lately, you know there is a storm coming.
