Mindset

Having the right mindset in anything will have much to do with determining your success...especially if you are an entrepreneur. Most people today are conditioned to pursue a job rather then creating a business for themselves. If you really think about it most people don't know how to start a business. The shift from Agriculture to the Industrial Revolution has created a lost generation of entrepreneurs. For sure some visionaries have stepped up, people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to name a few. But we need more people who chase dreams, and much of it comes down to mindset. Their are many differences in the mindset of an entrepreneur verses having a job. Job holders many times seek permission. E-People lead and take risk. Job holders see challenges as a roadblock were as E-People see opportunity. Job holders seek to limit lifestyle by cutting back. E-People think of ways to increase their income to expand their lifestyle. Business owners create profits, Job holders work for wages. And the list goes on and on. That's not to say that everyone should quit their job, it's just that the world has changed and to wait for someone else to determine your future is just insane. With the technology we have today and the resources available, people must get out of their comfort zone and swim out to their ship instead of waiting for it to come in. In Ecclesiastes 11:4 it says:

"IF YOU WAIT FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS, YOU WILL NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE."

Isn't that the truth! It's rather ironic that when we are young we have regrets for sins of commission, but as we get older and closer to meeting our maker we have regrets of commission...those things that we wished we did but were to fearful to go after because of what other people would think and/or the simple fear of failure. Remember the passage...it is better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved. Now get moving!
