Entrepeneurs Mind Set

26

You’re an Entrepreneur?

Do you have a level of passion and commitment that others don’t?

Are you apt to break the rules that are blocking you from getting things done?

You want to build something great, have a fulfilling career, and not be required to sacrifice yourself on the alter of success?

Recognizing Your Work

"I just can't think of an idea for a business. All the good ones are already taken."

Have you ever said, or heard this phrase?

It's amazing how close-minded we can be. We actually believe there's a scarcity of killer business ideas, that there's nothing new under the sun to cash in on. Scarcity is a lie. Many of us are raised with the idea that there is never enough. Why? Most people are looking for the easy way out. They want to look around and agree to just follow the party line. They think, "Oh that person had a great idea for a company, but I couldn't do that".

Well, guess what? That's your inner critic talking...and it's feeding you the biggest line.
Entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs look at the world from a different point of view. They see something and say, "That's inefficient" or "That's broken" and "Hey, I could do that better" or "Why don't we have a this and that?"

Then they come up with ideas to address those issues directly.

And I've got great news for you--the pie is enormous, and it's getting bigger every day. There are so many ideas and so much money--the Department of the Treasury is printing more every day. There's a lot out there to be had, and don't let anyone make you believe otherwise.

So, this week, make a point to look around and ask yourself "What's broken here?" Make a list of 10 - 20 ideas.

They don't have to be long, drawn out business plans-- just a thought. Then bounce your ideas off some people and gauge their reaction. But be forewarned--more than one of you may have the same idea. And that's okay.

It's the follow-through and the execution that will set your idea apart from theirs.
