For some the title “entrepreneur” can be a tagline and not necessarily the true essence of what the person is or doing with their business. So what is the definition of entrepreneur? An entrepreneur can be defined as someone who starts a business or businesses and is willing to risk loss to make money. Hmmm? The word entrepreneur sounds so destructive and not on purpose. How about the definition of small business owner? A small business owner is someone who thinks within a limited capacity and are more concerned with minimizing risk and mistakes. Hmm? That seems frightening and dull! What is the difference? I believe the difference is in mindset. However you visualize yourself to be, entrepreneur or small business owner, it is how you see yourself owning and operating in that role.
"If you can dream it, you can do it." -Walt Disney
To be a business owner means to encompass both of what is described of being an entrepreneur and a small business owner: a risk taker and risk minimizer. You have to enjoy the creative process of imagining a better way to do business or help your fellow man, be resilient with making mistakes, and strategic enough to take those mistakes and design a plan for that business to prosper and thrive financially. I found a few inspiring videos by Les Brown that really cut to the chase of what it takes to have or develop a mindset for business. Here he describes the #1 ingredient to light and reignite your business mindset: PASSION!
