Entrepreneurial Transitions
“Imagine fore fronting an entrepreneurial venture for twenty years, and suddenly, your faced with the certainty of going to work for somebody else. This is an awakening reality for many entrepreneurs who suddenly find themselves in search of a W2 or 1099 employment engagement.” John H. Seraichyk circa 1994, Founder Browning Associates
Find Your Perfect Fit In The World Of W2 Employment
What We Know
You would think that after running your own company, most employers would be highly interested in you. After all, as a business owner, you've done it all. You've built a successful company from the ground up, you've sold services and/or product, you've serviced customers, you've managed people, you've fixed everything from a broken spirit to a malfunctioning computer, you've worked 90 hour work weeks, in the early days you even did your own accounting and payroll. Does this sound like you?
With all of your experience, vigor and drive to succeed, you would think that any company in their right mind would hire you in a New York minute! Not so fast. Believe it or not, larger and many mid-size corporations will not recognize your skill sets as a value add to their company. They may be intimidated by your prior successes. Many corporations are seeking an employee with a steadfast track record working for one of their competitors or in a similar cultural environment.
Many Vice Presidents and “C” class executives working for traditional organizations have told us time and time again that an entrepreneur placed in their highly structured work environment may actually disrupt the conventional work ethic and management philosophy instilled by traditional management styles. We have also been told that many hiring authorities are actually intimidated by the entrepreneurial breed set. They feel that somebody who has made their whole career on making their own decisions and directing the decisions of others may be difficult to delegate to.
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we agree that the mind-set of many hiring authorities is way off base. Unfortunately, stereotypes are difficult to remove; but, they can be circumvented. We are experts at circumventing stereotypes. This is how and why we are and have been industry leaders for nearly twenty years. The purpose of this communication is to demonstrate one of the prominent realities that every transitioning business owner will face in the marketplace.
Where do you fit?
“Most business owners will only thrive in a work environment that will enable them to exercise their entrepreneurial spirit.”
John H. Seraichyk 1989-2010
We will work with you to find the kind of work environment where you can continue to strive and thrive. You need a forward thinking business that will enable you to do what you are best at. Most entrepreneurs' true talents are absolutely thwarted in a traditional 9-5 role with rigorous departmental protocols, company politics, corporate bureaucracy, miles of red tape and so on.
Whether you want to work for a small, mid-size or large corporation, the opportunity is out there. We are here to help you maximize your most earnest endeavors.
Hopefully, this communication has clearly demonstrated our knowledge of at least a few of the many challenges most business owners will face while conducting an employment search.
