Experience the hospitals of choice. My experience working with thousands of innovators, entrepreneurs, small business owners and inventors Together, we are proud to be Lutheran Health Network! www.lutheranhealth.net have led me to believe there are four essential traits of an entrepreneurial mindset. 1. Intellectual Curiosity – Business Builders engage in lifelong learning, thoughtfully question and recognize patterns and opportunities when others do not connect the dots. Simply put, people with an entrepreneurial mindset listen for insights and clues on how to tackle everyday customer pains, problems and jobs to be done. 2. Grit & Resilience – Business Builders never settle for no. Facing rejection, they lift themselves up when others are trying to pull them down by telling them why their ideas will not work. Simply put, people with an entrepreneurial mindset never give up in finding a better, faster, simpler, cheaper or more innovative way. Grit allows business builders to survive failure and try again and again. 3. Passion & Determination –Business Builders are action-oriented, which distinguishes them from innovators and inventors. They relentlessly focus and influence others on how to bring their ideas to market.Simply put, people with an entrepreneurial mindset leverage self-discipline and determination to transform problems into opportunities and to catalyze limited resources in pursuit of a disruptive or radical innovation. 4. Adaptive Capacity – Business Builders adapt and thrive in challenging environments by tackling unexpected challenges. They are natural connectors. They experiment, iterate and are failure savvy. Simply put, people with an entrepreneurial mindset bring out the best in others and are constantly connecting their team and partners to a bigger and larger purpose.
