The Key Mindset For Success
When it comes to setting yourself up for success in business or any industry, it is important to have the right training, support, and infrastructure. However, there is one more important key to success that many people tend to overlook when getting started in business. This key is a crucial thing to have for any person considering becoming an entrepreneur. That key is having the correct mindset.
I know that may sound trivial and unimportant. However, having the right mindset is just as important for entrepreneur success as having the right product. If you go into a business with the wrong mindset, you will never have any type of sustainable success.You need to have the right mindset to position yourself for success.
Many people don't understand that the mentality of an employee and an entrepreneur are totally different. The mistake that most people make before starting a business is they fail to shift their mindset from an employee to that of an entrepreneur. That is a crucial mistake that can ultimately lead to business failure.
Employees are used to exchanging time for money. They understand the concept of working a certain period of time in exchange for a certain amount of money. Employees are accustomed to getting paid based on what their position in the company warrants. That type of mindset will not lead to success in business.
As a business owner you have to be prepared to put in hours of work up front for potentially no gain right away. Entrepreneurs understand that the work they put in now will lead to reward later on.
Unless you understand this fundamental difference in mindset, you are setting yourself up for eventual faillure. But of you can grasp this concept of thinking like an entrepreneur instead of an employee you are on your way to creating a successful business.

I call them technicians, very competent at their work but are their own worst enemies and their own worst boss....good point here Kim!
I agree. It is hard for people to change the mindset too. But it can be done. I recommend reading books to help change the mindset.
That is what I am doing.
Good information Kim, very truthful.
