ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET
“You have to see failure as the beginning and the middle, but never entertain it as the end.”
— Jessica Herrin
Leaders are not born, they are made and driven.
Entrepreneurship is a mindset, not just an opportunity or a skill set. It’s all about taking risks. The more confident you are in your ability to succeed, the easier it will be for you to sell your product or service.
Here are some ways that entrepreneurs think and act differently than other people do:
Entrepreneurs are decisive and take risks.
Decisiveness is important because it helps you to make decisions quickly, which helps you move forward with your business plan in a timely manner. The ability to be decisive will also help you take risks while building your venture — because if you don’t know what direction your company is headed in, then how can anyone else? Being decisive means being able to focus on one thing at a time so that nothing gets away from the top of the mind as soon as possible; this skill can be learned by anyone regardless of age or experience level.
Examples of people who are known for their decisiveness: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos; Apple co-founder Steve Jobs; Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Entrepreneurs are humble and eager to learn.
Entrepreneurs are always learning. They are constantly looking for new opportunities, ways of improving their business, and ways of improving themselves. Entrepreneurs never stop improving and growing as individuals because they have a burning desire to learn and grow in order to create something better for themselves or the world around them. This mentality is what drives entrepreneurs forward toward success!
Entrepreneurs see opportunities and create solutions.
When you’re an entrepreneur, it’s important to be observant and look for ways to do things better or differently than anyone else has done before. You’ll also need to be open-minded about new ideas, even if they seem outlandish at first glance. If something seems like a good idea but doesn’t work out as expected — or worse yet, actually does harm someone — you have the ability (and responsibility) not only for fixing problems but also for making sure everyone involved gets compensated fairly for their time and effort expended during these experiments (because no one likes being left hanging).
Entrepreneurs have a positive mental attitude.
Being a positive thinker is much more than just thinking positive thoughts. It’s a state of mind, one you can learn and practice. The truth is that entrepreneurs have a positive mental attitude because they know how to focus on the positives in their lives — and they do it successfully.
Being an entrepreneur requires dedication and hard work, but it doesn’t mean that you have to give up your personal life or live in fear every single day because there are risks involved with starting your own business (or any type of business). If anything, entrepreneurs have learned how to manage their stress so that it doesn’t get in the way of their success as entrepreneurs!
Entrepreneurs have a creative mindset.
One of the defining characteristics of an entrepreneur is their mindset. An entrepreneurial mindset is a creative outlook on life and business, one that allows you to see things from different perspectives.
This type of thinking can be seen in a number of ways:

You have to be able to come up with new ideas and solutions for problems that other people might not even realize exist.
You need to look at problems from all angles — not just your own perspective, but also those of others who are involved with the project or event you’re working on. This way you’ll be able to come up with the best possible solution for everyone involved!
Entrepreneurs know how to persuade others successfully.
The entrepreneur mindset is one that can be applied to any situation. It’s not just about starting a business, but also about building your personal brand and becoming an expert in your field.
The key is knowing how to persuade others successfully so that they will follow your lead. Entrepreneurs know how to create a compelling vision for their companies and products, even if they’re not necessarily experts themselves or have years of experience in their field.
Entrepreneurs can motivate themselves — and inspire others as well.
Motivation is a key skill for entrepreneurs. It’s the source of drive, passion, and inspiration that keeps you going when things get tough. But motivation is also different from being driven.
Driven people like to win; they have an innate desire to succeed in whatever they do. They’re often consumed by their goals (and may even be addicted). Motivated people are more likely to take action on what needs to be done — they’re not driven by external expectations but by internal ones.
Motivation is something that can be cultivated over time with effort, practice and mindfulness — but it requires self-awareness as well as awareness of others’ needs so that you can provide service without feeling guilty about how much time you spend doing so.
Conclusion
As we can see, having an entrepreneurial mindset is a great asset for any businessperson. Entrepreneurs know that what they do is important and that their success will have a positive impact on the world around them. They also understand that nothing ever comes easy, so they make sure to prepare themselves for this reality by developing strong skills in leadership and communication as well as being tenacious when dealing with challenges along the way. Since entrepreneurship is about risk-taking and taking action even when it seems like there’s no hope left at all (or maybe because there’s no hope left), entrepreneurs should also be confident enough to never give up because if they don’t succeed then no one else will either!
P.S. Learnings from India-Pakistan Match on 23rd October 2022.
1. Leadership-?You say it or not, Virat’s innings were the game-changer.
We bashed him for not playing well and blamed him for earlier losses. His life was affected because of the humiliation but a true leader stays calm and shuts people’s mouths only by his performance.
2. Knowing your credibility- ‘Wait till the last ball’.
Trust yourself, trust your team. Hard work and resilience are the keys to winning every situation be it in cricket or life.
3. Healthy competition-?With the well-known cricket rivalry between India-Pakistan, both teams valued the intensity of the game and played with full respect and dignity. Win or lose, believe in giving your best and that’s what both teams did.
