Entrepreneurial Mindset and Who Becomes an Entrepreneur?


Entrepreneurial mindset refers to the way of thinking which enables us to encounter challenges, be decisive, and accept responsibility for outcomes. It is a constant need to improve the skills, learning from  mistakes, and taking continuous action on our ideas. Anyone willing to do the work can develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

Entrepreneurial mindset characteristics can be the following:-
Decisiveness
To succeed as an entrepreneur, you must gain the ability to look at a problem or situation, digest all available data (at that point in time), and make a confident decision to move forward. Your ability as a decision-maker will make or break your future successes. In fact, at the opposite end, indecision is one of the greatest causes of business failure.
Confidence
There are many skills you will need to learn to accomplish everything you want in life. But how do you act confidently when you don’t know what you are doing? You learn to act with confidence, the second characteristic of the entrepreneurial mindset. And one the of the most important qualities of an entrepreneur. It is essential that you get used to the uncomfortable feeling of knowing that you don’t know what you’re doing.

Accountability
The entrepreneurial mindset comes from taking responsibility for your actions and outcomes.
We need to internalize and accept that for everything that happens at work, to our business and whether we succeed or fail, it is our responsibility.
Resilience
As an entrepreneur, you will need to learn to deal with making mistakes and failing. They are inevitable and a part of your growth. If every misstep plummets you into self-doubt, you have to change the way you look at being wrong. This mindset shift takes resilience and is foundational to the entrepreneurial mindset. Success rarely happens in a straight line. Taking wrong turns and making mistakes is something that happens to everyone.

Humility
Humility is freedom from pride or arrogance, and it ties all of the characteristics of entrepreneurship.
From decisiveness to confidence, humility will keep you focused and centered. From accountability to resilience, you will continue to move forward through failure, mistakes, and upsets.

Anyone with the following characteristics can be an entrepreneur.
1) The Young Professional: Increasingly young highly educated people often with entrepreneurial qualifications are skipping the experience of working for an established organization and moving directly to work on establishing their own ventures.
2) The Inventor: The inventor is someone who has developed an innovation and who has decided to make a career out of presenting that innovation to the market. It may be a new product or it may be an idea for a new service. It may be a high-tech or it may be based on a traditional technology.
3) The Excluded: Some people turn to an entrepreneurial career because nothing is open to them. Displaced communities and ethnic and religious minorities have not been invited to join the wider economic community due to a variety of social, cultural and political and historical reasons. As a result they may form their own internal networks, trading among themselves and, perhaps, with their ancestral countries.
