ADOPTING AN ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET johnjezzini.co
MAKING THE SWITCH Many may find themselves wanting to break into entrepreneurship. However, going from employee to entrepreneur requires a fundamental shift in how you prioritize your time.
TAKE OWNERSHIP. Creating a startup or similar may require the entrepreneur to suspend their own needs for a time, working to foster the company before themselves. The reward may not be immediate, but you are the steward for your own success.
THINK CRITICALLY. It’s often said that nothing is truly original, but entrepreneurs are forced to be creative and consider how to craft a unique value proposition. Exploring new market spaces is the way to build a successful company.
LISTEN. Innovation comes by finding out what customers want. Some of the most successful startups have excelled at discovering common problems or limitations in an industry. Others have simply found a way to offer a sought-after product or service for cheaper than their competitors. Either way, you'll need to make time to learn and listen to feedback from audiences and industry experts.
ACCEPT RISK. Trying to play it too safe as an entrepreneur will result in a venture floundering and falling flat. While risk aversion is an important survival instinct, all entrepreneurs should recognize that they’ll need to depart their own comfort zones to find success.
COMPANY GROWTH, PERSONAL GROWTH Moving to entrepreneurship might mean losing the support systems that come with working with a larger company. You may have to consider possibilities and build skills that were not previously relevant. However, entrepreneurship is achievable if you're willing to put the time and energy into changing the way you approach your work.
