It is a popular misconception that all small business owners are entrepreneurs.
Small business owners often follow the same tried and true methods of conducting and running their business that larger corporations do.
They are structured and methodical.
While this is not necessarily a bad thing, it does not demonstrate any of the characteristics of the entrepreneurial mindset.
An entrepreneur creates and develops an often wildly successful business in a very short period of time.
They think differently than other business owners.
They are willing to try new things, implement new procedures and use new technology that has not been widely accepted.
Characteristics of the entrepreneurial mindset include being natural innovators.
They are always looking for a better, more efficient way to do things.
Often they see a need for products and services that others do not recognize is there.
Change is enacted quickly and fearlessly.
Their thought is, "Why do something you have always done, if it doesn't work?" Whereas in structured corporations, changes are made slowly and only after complete analysis, entrepreneurs are willing to experiment with new business theories until they find what works for them.
They respond to market and technology changes with quick analysis and decision making.
Entrepreneurs are very customer centric.
They make changes and create products for the benefit of their customers.
They often know individuals in their customer base and ask for feedback.
They work to continuously improve and perfect their products, driven by their ideas and dedication to their customers.
Characteristics of the entrepreneurial mindset often make them dynamic leaders.
They are passionate about what they do and confident in their success.
This confidence inspires and motivates their team to continue moving towards their final goal.
They are often caught up in their leader's enthusiasm.
Entrepreneurs believe in leading by example.
As a result the trust by their team is implicit.
They are very loyal to their leader, willing to follow any path they set.
Among the primary characteristics of the entrepreneurial mindset is that they are disciplined and focused.
Failure isn't even a consideration.
These risk takers are certain they will succeed and when a situation doesn't garner the expected results, they simply see it as a lesson learned and try again.
Entrepreneurs have energy and drive that is unfailing.
They constantly push on accepted business practices to enact change.
This is done without doubt and with an overall objective in mind.
They have a plan and are driven to see it through.
