Maybe at this point in your life you are a W-2 employee. You can do certain things that will assure that the boss wants to keep you and also develop those skills that all entrepreneurs have.
1. Work longer hours: Ouch!! It’s true. You need to do more than the rest. If your goal is to be your own boss. Get used to it. You will work harder than anyone else. Guaranteed.
2. What are your responsibilities: Don’t be one of those that is forever saying “That’s not my job !” Do more than is expected and look to learn other aspects of the job that will increase your worth.
3. Working harder: This is different than # 1. Look at ways to make your job more profitable for the company. Be a good time manager. No idle talking on company time.
4. Be smart: Take online courses that will help you at work. Read company periodicals and trade journals. Get in the learning curve again.
5. Help your boss to be better: Look at ways to help him/her out. What are HIS/HER needs. Chances are he/she is an pressure cooker and is looking for relief. Learn to make his/her life easier by doing your job to the best of your ability.
Chances are you are closer to the action than your boss is and can provide needed insight. By becoming a better employee, you are at the same time becoming a better you and entrepreneur.
