Having an entrepreneurial mindset is critical to fulfilling one’s potential!!!

The noun mindset was first used in the 1930s to mean “habits of mind formed by previous experience.

”We all have been used to the usage of the word mindset more frequently whenever a free advice is given – “It is all in your mindset”. I am not sure how many of us would have understood as to what that meant at that point of time.

We also have experienced usage of mindset on different contexts or situations like., positive mindset, winning mindset, and entrepreneurial mindset etc.,

In her classic text, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Stanford Professor Carol S. Dweck presented her research showing that hard work and mindset impact success more than natural talent. She came to the conclusion that people have the ability to choose which mindset that wish to operate from.

Dr. Alain Fayolle in the Financial Times defines an Entrepreneurial mindset as a specific state of mind which orientates human conduct towards entrepreneurial activities and outcomes. Individuals with entrepreneurial mindsets are often drawn to opportunities, innovation, and new value creation In terms outlined by Dr. Dweck this would be a specialized growth mindset as opposed to fixed mindset.

You will find dictionary, research definition and expert opinion on mindset and entrepreneurial mindset. It is a specialized mindset.
