Do you have the mindset of an entrepreneur? One clue is how easily you come up with creative solutions to problems. Learn more in this audio clip.
Determining whether a client has the mind of an entrepreneur has become easy for me.
A couple of key factors come into play.
One crucial factor distinguishing entrepreneurs is their knack for devising creative solutions.
These individuals excel in entrepreneurship because they have faith in their ability to devise innovative solutions when faced with unexpected challenges.
Being an entrepreneur doesn’t mean you always have the answers.
It means you’re always ready to find them.
Entrepreneurs are resourceful, taking action to utilize their available resources when an immediate solution isn’t apparent.
Some of the ways entrepreneurial-minded people find creative solutions to unexpected challenges include:
- Doing some research
- Asking an expert in the field
- Taking a class
- Hiring a coach
- Working with a mastermind group
- Asking a colleague
- Doing some brainstorming
- Getting a mentor
The point is that someone with an entrepreneurial mindset isn’t inclined to wait for someone else to tell them what to do when things don’t go as planned.
They enjoy the process of solving problems in their unique way.
I call it being a rabble-rouser.
You have to be a rabble-rouser to take action and have the confidence that you can find a solution to any problem that arises.
Another key characteristic of successful entrepreneurs is that they go all in.
They are willing to do whatever it takes to make their business successful.
These two components of the entrepreneurial mindset go hand in hand because when you trust yourself to come up with creative solutions to unexpected problems, you are better able to go all in.
If you spend more energy doubting and focusing on all the reasons it may not work, you are more committed to your doubts than your vision.
That means you are either not meant to be an entrepreneur, or you aren’t ready yet, and you need to do some inner work around your beliefs, fears, and assumptions.
