Entrepreneurs are role models for an open-minded approach to life, the ability to make the right decisions in an uncertain world, unlimited self-reliance, and the desire to achieve freedom through personal initiative. They know that risk is unavoidable, that there is some failure built into any success story, and that only constant action on their ideas will keep them alive.

Independence is the Essence of Entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs are the champions of change. They are daring, they pursue their goals with unrelenting resolve, and they make things happen. The entrepreneurial mindset is a mix of personality traits, ways of seeing the world and fundamental principles.

Entrepreneurs are daring

<ul><li>How does this change the world? </li><li>How can we make this better? </li><li>Who cares about this and why do they care? Why is no one else doing this?</li><li> And, most important of all: Why hasn’t someone made this yet? An entrepreneur makes meaning.</li></ul>

The entrepreneurial mind asks

At any given moment there exist countless business ideas, most of which will never be pursued. I can say this because as an entrepreneur one of the first things you will learn is that what separates those projects that get done from those that don’t is not just about how to make money, but a commitment to actually making it happen.

Commitment To Execution

<ul><li>To be an entrepreneur, you have to think differently. </li><li>You have to look at the world and see opportunities. </li><li>You have to be dissatisfied with the way things are and eager to make them better.</li></ul>

A World of Opportunities

Being entrepreneurial is about a way of thinking and of doing things, not a specific career path. It’s not reserved for people of a certain age, social status, income bracket, job title or college major. Nor is it about having a great idea or an impressive business card. Anyone can be entrepreneurial at any stage in his or her career by adopting the right mindset and working hard on opportunities.

Entrepreneurship is a Way of Thinking

The defining characteristic of someone with the entrepreneur mindset is that they will not be stopped by adversities. Rather than seeing obstacles as an excuse to give up, to them, they are simply a call to action.

A Call to Action 

Look at problems in a new way. Innovate by being creative and finding solutions. Never give up.

Be Tenacious and Opportunistic

It is not just because it’s hard to launch a successful business. How many bakers do you know with the urge to start baking businesses? Yet when you meet an entrepreneur you’ll usually find someone who has an unusually strong motivation to look for new opportunities.
