Entrepreneurial Thinking Mind-shift

An entrepreneurial mindset fuels innovation, creativity, goal-setting, hard work, and the courage to take calculated risks. It’s a way of thinking—believing you can shape your own future and live life on your terms.

At its core, this mindset is about spotting opportunity and being willing to act. Entrepreneurs think creatively, embrace uncertainty, and use both personal experience and social networks to develop ideas. They ask “what if” and “why not,” pushing boundaries to discover new paths.

This mindset isn’t just innate—it can be developed. Qualities like determination, focus, flexibility, and curiosity are central, as outlined by the University of Arizona’s nine mindset traits.

To better understand your entrepreneurial strengths, we offer the Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile® (EMP)—a proven assessment that highlights your strong points and areas for growth. We’re happy to process your EMP upon request (grading fees apply).
