Great question! The Employee Mentality is a hard habit to break, especially when so many people are out there advertising a business opportunity as a "job."
I would suggest writing up a blog post, either on your own blog or in the blog section of your Leadership page laying out a comparison of Employee vs. Business Owner to try and drive that point home. For example:
Employees "get paid" regardless of how much or how little work they do. They're sort of under a "contract" to get paid for how many hours they show up at the office, but not by the amount of actual productivity while they're there.
Business Owners earn revenue by actually producing, whether they show up at an office or do their work from home.
Employees get sick days, personal days, vacation days, so they even "get paid" when they don't show up for "work."
Business Owners, especially during the business building phase, don't earn any revenue if they don't make sales or don't participate in the daily operations of their business. Taking any "time off" could greatly reduce their level of income.
Employees have Jobs. (Just Over Broke) The only time they'll earn more than they're hired for is by working overtime or getting a raise. Other than that, they make the same amount of pay no matter how hard they work.
Business Owners have the ability to make as much as they want! They have no boss telling them they only earn $9 or $10 per hour even if they work their butts off.
Then ask them - are you an employee of SFI or a Business Owner? It may take some people a long time to actually understand and accept the difference, but once they do, they'll realize that being a business owner, and owning that mentality, will be a big benefit in how they work their business.
