Understanding the Entrepreneurial Mindset

Discover what sets entrepreneurs apart and how our assessment measures it

What is an Entrepreneurial Mindset?

Some argue that entrepreneurship cannot be taught. Sure, you can learn accounting, finance, marketing and business planning. However, the mechanics of business is not entrepreneurship. It is not the thing that enables and motivates a person to identify, evaluate, and execute a business opportunity.

What is it that sets entrepreneurs apart? Their mindset!

Mindset is an established set of attitudes held by someone that influence or predispose them to interact (perceive and behave, act and react) with the world in a certain and consistent way. It is synonymous with an intention or inclination, a frame of mind, an approach or an outlook. Although there are many ways to describe mindset, research has demonstrated that the concept of “attitude” from the psychological literature provides the most useful model for mindset, particularly with regard to entrepreneurs.

What does a entrepreneurial mindeset consist of? Additudes!

Attitude refers to the way we tend to think and respond—positively or negatively—toward things around us. Attitudes aren’t fixed; they grow and change through our experiences. In entrepreneurship, one of the most recognized tools for understanding attitude is the Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation (EAO), created by Dr. Peter B. Robinson in 1987. Today, it remains the most widely used and cited measure of entrepreneurial attitude being referenced over 2400 times in academic literature.
