The entrepreneur has the mentality of an entrepreneur is vital if you want to achieve financial freedom and success. Entrepreneurs take matters into their own hands and take calculated risks and not blindly jump into deep water. Being your own boss is not easy, but it gives you the freedom to take matters into your own hands and not wait for others to tell you what to do. If you have the mentality of an entrepreneur, you're always looking for ways to create something, even if others see 'nothing' because 'something'. Well, I think that is the main difference between people who have the mentality of entrepreneurs from someone who does not have it. With positive thinking and the ability to see opportunities and advantages even in a terrible state, entrepreneurs can create something out of nothing. Minded entrepreneurs certainly not the birth right; if you take your time to know yourself and believe in your abilities, you will definitely develop the right frame of mind to become an …show more content…

... their money to turn a profit. Being an entrepreneur and starting a business does not mean that the person knows what they are doing, and most of the time they are just defending their ideas until they ultimately fail. They spend most of their time in the business and not on the business, and in return if they do not realize this they will fail as well. By being an entrepreneur, it can be easy if you follow all the guidelines listed in this book, and there will be success in any business which has been started. For some entrepreneurs their minds are consumed by their ideas, without wanting to listen to others, failure will be in the imminent future. Therefore after reading this book it is evident that an entrepreneur must follow these concepts and processes in order to overcome this problem among entrepreneurs in society, and by doing so they will achieve success.
When analyzing the personality, cognitive, social, and behavioral features which differentiate successful entrepreneur and unsuccessful entrepreneur, one would have to look at the Bandura’s social cognitive theory in association with the triadic reciprocal determinism as a measure of determining behavioral, personal, and environmental factors which increases experiences which leads to critical thinking and observing every situation or challenges as a opportunity. I believe this theory is greatly associated with personality, cognitive, social, and behavioral aspects of an entrepreneur characteristic are linked to the bidirectional of influences bases on their behavior, environment, a different situational creations which increase learning and developing analyzing in a particular way. According to Gaimon and Bailey explains how one may adopt a dynamic learning perspective of entrepreneurship through gained knowledge’s and activities through life cycles and experiences. (p. 1429).
Entrepreneurship is a valuable skill that every person should acquire and use in their lifetime,
Barbara White, author of Women’s Career Development, gives an opportunity for successful women to give advice to other women wanting to pursue a career in the workforce. First, they explained that women need to be single-minded today. They must make their own choices and know what they want. If a woman hopes to achieve her goal of an ‘American Dream’ and live up to it, then she should be persistent and keep working at achieving her objectives. The best advice given in White’s book is that a woman should not underestimate herself (227-229). A woman today can be whatever she pleases. It takes work, dedication and persistence to achieve goals in general, not just in the career aspect of life. As seen through Joan Crawford and Dawn Steel’s stories, a ‘business woman’ has a bright future now and for years to come. Women’s roles have drastically changed throughout the past century along with the actual number of women now working. It is phenomenal to see such an increase in women’s participation, and hopefully this course will continue even higher into the twenty-first century.
Since 2011, the MENA region has undergone extreme political turmoil, which has translated into weak and stagnant economic development. At a time when the region’s economy is struggling to stay afloat, women’s entrance into the workforce is crucial. Unfortunately, by nature of the economy, businesswomen face major obstacles that prevent them from starting businesses or expanding businesses they already own. Unfortunately, in the Middle East and North Africa, many businesses, particularly female owned SMEs, lack access to investment and financial resources they require to operate and expand.
The participation rates of Canadian women business owners are comparable to those in the United States and higher than those of other leading nations such as Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand (Brush, Carter, Gatewood, Greene, & Hart, 2002). • A flexible work schedule is a greater motivator for women planning to open their own business (63%) than for men planning to do so (51%). • 36 percent of men planning to open a business plan to do so to become wealthy, while only 23 percent of women planning to open a business do so for the same reason. • The majority of women and men entrepreneurs (69 and 64 percent respectively) seem to be equally driven by a love for what they do or hope to do. • Women are less likely than men to start a business because they want to be their own boss.
“There is no one definitive profile of an entrepreneur. Successful entrepreneurs come in various ages, income levels, gender, and race. They differ in education and experience. But research indicates that most successful entrepreneurs share certain personal attributes, including: creativity, dedication, determination, flexibility, leadership, passion, self-confidence, and smarts."

India is home to a one of the highest number of startups in the world. Despite being home to many budding entrepreneurs, there are very few women entrepreneurs. The startup ecosystem is dominated by men. Though the number of women is significantly lesser, there are a few women who are successful and are a great inspiration to other budding entrepreneurs.
Driven by an intense commitment and determined perseverance, entrepreneurs work very hard at what they do. They excel and want to win. Entrepreneurs are amazing people with a high respect of character. They use their mistakes as something to learn from rather than a failure. No matter the outcome, they believe in themselves and have an extreme confidence not only in themselves, but also in what they do.
We learned a lot of things in this course, but I think the most important lesson I learned is that it’s not easy to be an entrepreneur. I was surprised to hear in the first class that 80% of startups fail, but after reading The Art of Start and E-myth Revisited I understood why this happens more often than one might expects. Some people start their own businesses for the wrong reason and some start with wrong mindset. I’ve always thought that if someone has a brilliant business idea and hardworking they will succeed and grow their business. However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
Many people dream of becoming entrepreneurs someday. But it made me realize that there other factors that needs to be taken into consideration. We need to ask ourselves are we ready to take the challenge to the outside world. Not everyone have the vision, innovation and creativity to become an entrepreneur. The individual must have a positive attitude and accept the responsibility, have discipline to meet their goals, and take action when the opportunity presents itself. Many prefer a job security and rely on a weekly paycheck, while entrepreneurs will take risks and doesn 't have that luxury to know the amount of their income.
Entrepreneurship is an important aspect of social, economic and community life. It can be viewed as a critical factor to economic growth as well as a way of addressing unemployment (Nolan, 2003).Entrepreneurs are people who are persistently focused on identifying opportunities, they seek to create something worthwhile while taking into account foreseeable risk and rewards associated with the efforts (Nolan, 2003).

Entrepreneur's should have a strong drive to successes and overcome obstacles. Confidence and strong will are must. An entrepreneur should be sharp and always think of ways to run their business flexibly .Another important quality of a successful entrepreneur is being adaptable to
1. WHY? Develop your "why". As an entrepreneur, not all times you have in business will be perfect. In fact, there will be many, many difficulties along the way. However, if you can develop your why, you can achieve success. Your why must be this personal, passionate, emotional drive that keeps you going, when the world tells you to give up. It is the reason you commit and work so hard. Pushing on when it seems all the odds and world is against you. Your "why" becomes your driving will to wake up and do it again tomorrow.
