Seek An entrepreneurial mindset is all about asking questions and seeking answers. If you observe rather than see and listen rather than hear, you can easily spot a solution or a pain point that requires a solution, or even better, a disruptive innovation that can change our lives in a small or a significant way. But to get to that answer and follow it with passion, you need to seek. Embrace Embrace change and all the new experiences that entrepreneurship with gift you with. With zero security net and nothing but the drive to succeed as your companion, you will definitely need to not just get a grasp of reality but also adapt to a new lifestyle and possibly a new personality. Embrace the fact that there will be a lot of new learning and possible failures to turn around into successes. Own Take complete ownership of your initiative and all the decisions that are taken as part of your entrepreneurial journey. When you choose your team, ensure that every team member shares your sense of ownership to transition this initiative into a huge success. Focus The entrepreneurial journey is full of distractions. You will need a strong focus on your goal, business plan, and priority list to get to your destination and then scale up. Connect What's the use of having a great solution if you cannot connect with your prospective buyers and communicate with them? What's the use of having a great team when you cannot communicate your vision and goals to them effectively? Every plan depends greatly on fantastic execution and every great execution depends on flawless communication. Push There'll definitely be times in your entrepreneurial journey when you turn around to look longingly at your backup. But remember to push ahead with confidence, taking failures as practice zones to success. Never travel with your feet in too many boats when you feel rocky even being on one. So push right ahead with confidence and with the trusted support of a business mentor to achieve your goals.
