[QUOTE="texas, post: 949540, member: 4487"] Monster, congrats on the growth. Not sure if you're in the US, but I think a lot of people here have just been cultivated to think with the specialist/dependency on others attitude. I hear bozos all the time say that they need to be earning more if they are expected to do more or something outside of their hyper-specific scope, but the fact is, if a job creator did not build that infrastructure for them to work in and make money from, they would have no way to convert their specificity into money. They do not truly know how to make money outside of a pre-built platform. Very entitled attitude. If they can in fact get shit done outside of their scope, they may be too risk-averse/unconfident/whatever-negative-trait-victim-attitude-here to pull the goddamn trigger and do it. My mindset has morphed since working in small business and starting off with an "hourly" attitude regarding pay versus a results attitude that does not need to take into account actual hours as long as there is production. After observing a few entrepreneurs and their dedication and the ultimate responsibility for them to get shit done when employees or contractors fail them, a great respect has evolved for them and simultaneously a glaring disgust for victim-mentality loser employees who are not proactive and resourceful. Once you have witnessed the different attitudes and realize that you can be the puppeteer and pull the strings, I think it's hard to go back, which is why lots of people who can be a generalist are and they are not working in a specialist role unless it is to gain experience as part of a plan and then use as a springboard for their own entrepreneurship. You don't even need to pull the strings perfectly, you just need to have the balls to step up and pull the goddamn strings and take responsibility when the contractors attached to the ends of them don't always come through. Very similar to game and approaching: you don't need to perfect approach, you just need to fucking approach. [/QUOTE]
