Owner Mindset Over Employee Thinking

“‘Because you think as an owner, you don’t think as an employee,’ he commented later. ‘So you don’t say, I want to stay in a good hotel, or how could I improve my bonus? There is no bloody bonus.’”

“‘I don’t want a fixed package, and you can fire me on 24 hours’ notice,’ Bekker told Vosloo. But he added: ‘I want 3 per cent of the long-term value created above inflation.’11”

“•Think about stocks as part ownership of a business. When we buy stocks for our unit-holders, we have a mindset similar to that if we were buying into a private business.”

“in order really to succeed in any business one needed to develop the instincts of an owner rather than just an employee.”
