Why The Best Employees Are Founders #successmindset #ceomindset #founder

The best employees are founders. I was just out of a meeting with Sean. Sean's 27 years old. He runs $80 million business unit at AppSumo. And I would say he's a CEO. He's a founder. If I had to boil it down, there's a lot of different things. And I'll give you a specific mentality that really works well. The success of an employee CEO is how are you being resourceful? How are you solving the goal and the problems and the priorities with the resources that are available? Most people sit and they complain. Like, oh, I don't have this. I'm not getting paid enough. What are you doing about it? Did you put together a proposal? Did you go look at comparison analysis? Did you go create more revenue so it's obvious that people should get pay you more? That's probably about the 98%. 2%, like Sean and others at our team, are saying, here's all the money I made for the company. Here's comparables. Here's the salary you should pay me. And you're lucky to pay me this because it's so less than I'm generating from the business. And let's do it in this timeframe. It's resourceful. He's figuring it out.
