Today we’re looking at ten life lessons that are inherent in developing an entrepreneur mindset.
- Follow your curiosity – Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the things you are interested in or want to know. Questions are the key to learning and gaining knowledge.
- Perseverance is priceless – Stick with whatever you are doing until you have gained what you set out to achieve.
- Focus on the present – Focus is the key word here. Keep your eye on your goal and don’t look back because that isn’t where you are headed. You can only create your future by being in action in the here and now.
- The imagination is powerful – The imagination is real for it is your relationship with thoughts. It sounds deep, I know. Whatever you can imagine can be real, just ask Walt Disney.
- Make mistakes – Mistakes provide the greatest experiences for learning. Never be afraid to make mistakes in business as there is always another chance to get it right. If Plan A doesn’t work for you, don’t forget that you have 25 more letters in the alphabet.
- Live in the moment – accept yourself and where you are in life at any given moment. Don’t be envious of what other people have or appear to have. If you want something different, take action to make it happen.
- Create value – if you want to make your customers/clients to be happy, you have to provide them with something useful that they can use right away.
- Don’t expect different results – Albert Einstein said that “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity.” If what you have tried or are currently trying isn’t working for you, don’t do it again; try something different.
- Knowledge comes from experience – you can learn things from other people and from books, however, you can never truly know something until you have had the experience of it.
- Learn the rules and then play better – don’t just play by the rules, play better than rules. Go a step beyond and your customers and clients will be happy and remain loyal.
