Empathy is the superpower of the person with the entrepreneurial mindset--after all, understanding the customer's problem is at the root of what it means to be a successful entrepreneur. When it comes to empathy in action, I can think of no better example than Sara and the way she inspired an entire crowd at a high school track meet.

Sometimes you just have to say yes and then figure it out after. When it comes to the entrepreneurial mindset, we have to be willing to take certain acts of faith and embrace a certain degree of risk that says "we may not have it all figured out and we may not have a fully developed plan but we are going to say yes and move forward anyway."

A focus on "having" leads to discontent: we focus on the destination and what we "don't have yet" which puts us in a situation to never be satisfied. If, however, we focus on "becoming" then we are looking at the journey and the value we are creating along the way. This is key to the entrepreneurial mindset. Let's Go!

Why do some people have amazing ideas and aspirational thoughts while others sit in frustration over their lack of inspiration? The answer is so simple its frustrating--what we consume directly impacts the quality of ideas we have. If we want better ideas, we need to consume better content.

All kids should have the opportunity to be entrepreneurs--and it is our job as adults to encourage them and buy from them. Pure and simple. Remember the lemonade stands from back in the day? Remember how you pushed your dad's lawn mower from yard to yard to earn extra money? Those experiences shaped you and when we encourage our youth to embrace those experiences, not only do they develop an entrepreneurial mindset, but they also grow significantly in their confidence and self-esteem.

These four stages, when built upon the firm foundation of the entrepreneurial mindset, exponentially increase the odds of success when it comes to starting a new business. We talk about ideation, creation, launch, and growth and how to do this from the launchpad of the entrepreneurial mindset. Let's Go!

The core of the entrepreneurial mindset is an approach of radical transformation--we, as people who think like entrepreneurs, are called on to transform ourselves so that we can transform the world. And that's no small feat--but it is made possible through small daily applications of renewing our mind. Let's go!

We can talk all day long, day after day, about the power of the entrepreneurial mindset, but until we commit to making serious and lasting change, it is all just talk. Time to take ACTION- time to get starting with real change to create the ideal life in order to become the person that we want. We can make the choice today to become better, but it is an intentional choice that will direct impact the habits that begin forming because consistency compounds and what we do day after day after day will directly influence the person we become (for better or worse).
