THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENUER

THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENUER

Entrepreneur takes initiative to start new things. Entrepreneurs have creative ideas, and they solve problems and problem solvers are rich. Entrepreneurs look beyond limitations they see solutions. Sometimes I hear people saying things like so and so things cannot be achieved, when i hear things like that I know where they are coming from, or they say how I wish I have money I would have done it, I see they don’t think like an entrepreneur, they are thinking like employees, simply put entrepreneurs focus on opportunity, while employees focus on resources such as money, people and time. For example, a person who thinks like an employee will say “I can’t do it because I don’t have money”. A person who person who thinks like an entrepreneur will say “let’s tie up the deal and find the money later”. 

Even though you’re an entrepreneur, you may still be thinking with an employee mindset. And you can’t change your business –and the result you get from your business, until you change your way of thinking.

A tip from the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” it’s a story of growing up with two dads- and two perspective on money, finance and investing. My real dad- who I call my poor dad because ultimately, he died broke, was a hardworking, well educated man who was a superintendent of education in Hawaii, he believed you should get a good education, find a job with good benefit and let, the government take care of you once you retire.

My rich dad, the father of my best friend, had little formal education but the of an entrepreneur, and he became one of the richest men in Hawaii. My rich dad forbade his son and me from saying “that’s impossible” he said “in business, when you say that is impossible your competition is saying we can do that”. So he had us ask ourselves “How can i do it”

My rich dad’s point was that changing our thoughts would change our lives. He said “whenever you say i can’t” that means you are at the boundary between what you can and can’t do. When you ask yourself how can i do something you open your mind to new ideas and expand the possibilities of your life.

So the next time you hear yourself saying “I can’t or that’s impossible” remember that you are thinking like an employee and need to begin thinking like an entrepreneur.
