BECOME AN ENTERPRENEUR

Motivation it is necessary to fight preconceived ideas:

•The position of entrepreneur is often more difficult and less remunerative than that of an employee

•Reward: creation, autonomy in decision-making, opportunities, responsible for his own development

•Relationship with other actors in the economy is more complex

•Responsibility: if we compare ourselves to "products": an employee must sell himself to his boss, a company manager must sell himself to the bank, to his customers, to his suppliers, to the administration, to its employees

•A company manager - band leader and a negotiator: a fighter of the "it's not going to be possible", a creator of "trust”

UNEMPLOYED VS SOLOPRENEUR: THE PARADIGM SHIFT

Unemployed positionClick to read

•Job search is sometimes a long, painful and difficult process

•A job seeker is not assessed according to his skills but in accordance with the company's needs

•The society's view is very narrow and often qualifies a job seeker as too young or too old without recognizing his or her skills or motivations

•The company, especially when it is very hierarchical, limits the initiative and ability of its employees to evolve in favour of respect for processes

•The job seeker is often in a position of inferiority and needs to secure his income. It is subject to supply and demand constraints during periods of unemployment

Instead of selling yourself as an employee, costs and risks over the medium and long term for a company, you propose a win-win relationship, which can be challenged at any time according to the needs of the parties.
