Do You Have the Business Mindset to Succeed? We give you 19 Characteristics You Must Have or Cultivate to Unleash your Abundance! Infographic & Podcast!
Do you know that You Are an entrepreneur? Yes you…We all are…we all have that business mindset…Hahaaaa you are thinking No we don’t. Yes You do! 
Donna M. De Carolis PhD is of the view that we are all entrepreneurs … So how or when do we lose that spark?
When does the entrepreneurial spirit flee some of our bodies?
What are the characteristics of a Business mindset?
And having read her article, by the way do read it, very insightful… I do agree with her! And today I am going to prove to you that we are all entrepreneurs. Because it’s a Mind-set. And we all have almost all the characteristics that make a positive business mindset. Like all good things we got to practice and cultivate them. After all even the best talent left uncultivated becomes redundant…right!
The first thing we want you to understand is that abundance is your NATURAL state. Deep inside, you are no different from Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Simon Cowell Heck, John D. Rockefeller, Warren Buffet, Arianna Huffington.
Or any of the other men and women in the ranks of the world’s super rich. We all are incredibly powerful and energetic beings with infinite potential. You are capable of anything, you do have a business mindset inside of you… truly you do. Regardless of your background, life choices, current financial status, career, or education…YOU ARE WORTHY!
Abundance is your birth right, yes it is and you were born with a natural instinct, a business mindset or entrepreneurial spirit!
And that will always remain true. Aha, you might be wondering, if I have a business mindset and abundance is my birth-right, why am I not where I desire to be in my life or business?
- Maybe you’re neck deep debt, living paycheck to paycheck.
- Or maybe you’ve struggled for yonks trying to get your business off the ground.
- Or maybe you lost a bunch of money in the process or in the economic recession.
Whatever the case may be, there’s only one reason you’re here: you want to breakthrough to that next level and are having a hard time doing so. But Today, we want to assure you that you have what it takes, you have the business mindset to change things, the law of attraction does what it does. The universe responds to your mind…So what do you feed your mind with.
So below are the characteristics of a Business Mindset and leadership and at the end I will espouse why how put together they can create your business success beyond your wildest dreams! Ready? Let’s do it…

1. Business Mindset – Vision:
Now let’s agree that without a vision, we literally just drift in whichever direction the winds blow. Vision is an essential aspect of a business mindset that every successful entrepreneur has. Everything we see on this planet started as someone’s vision or dream.
Without a vision we keep looking for that new thing to validate our existence. For some it’s a shiny new object, others simply follow whatever someone else says is right, others settle for less than they deserve and for others it’s total paralysis and thus acceptance of the ordinary or average or what we call our lot.
Vision is the absolute Foundation of the business mind-set this is where is all starts! You may argue that it’s an idea. In fact I did focus on this in a video I shot for the post on whats the most slippery thing you ever caught.
Here is how you can hone your vision until you have clarity of where you wish to go. Assuming you have your Dream board. That is definitely a good thing to have. Take some time to think, document, research your own ideas. Create a vision book so you can track the ideas. Once you have put this down on paper you have basically asked the Universe and if you keep your thoughts pure and free of negativity the Law of Attraction dictates that you must receive.
2. Growth mindset:
Is really an essential business mindset or characteristic.
Do you attend events?
Are you investing in your personal development?
You need to have a business mindset PDF or several, business mindset books, the whole shebang! Which successful person do you know who doesn’t read, have a mentor or coach? Be strategic in your choice of training and which events to attend. Not all events or training was created the same!
Do you know what it really costs you to attend a training session or a networking event – Money, family, time, babysitter, gas, accommodation, Food, transport, etc? In order to recoup your investment your reasons for investing in the training must be things other than meeting people and “I just want to learn something.” Why?
These are a given, see when you go to a networking event (meet people) or training (learn something). So your purpose for attending any event must be:
#a Aligned with your vision and
#b Focused on profitability and ROI
So make sure you have a specific outcome in mind before investing in business activities like networking and training. And make sure you create great content from the events and share such value you increase your subscribers and ultimately sales!
Recoup your costs and make some profits; as soon as possible after the event! We shared our Surge in traffic in the Month of August in our last blog post. This has resulted in ROI on the last couple of events we attended! So remember we are talking about a business mind-set strategy for success!
3.Having a business mindset is FOCUSING:
On what you need and knowing what part of your business needs your personal attention and which can be delegated or outsourced. Connect with your businesses and that connection is… profitability. How?
By knowing your finances – Income and cash flow, expenditure or overheads, Tax responsibilities & advantages, benefits, competitive advantage, sales goals, and your key profit indicators + margins…Focus.
Any activities that don’t ultimately lead to a “Connection with your business” are NMMAs i.e. Non Money Making Activities and Must be limited to a time outside your core business hours! See if its not creating results for you its draining them!
And now below are the rest of the Business mindset characteristics explained briefly. Go deeper on each, check your self, remember the checklist! And Work towards unleashing your abundance.

I do know i have a business mind set,however, i must work on consistency,creativity and risk taking.
Networking is key but i am selective nowadays!
Hello Wayne,
You are here because you actually do have a Business Mindset, an entrepreneurial spirit. One you wish to cultivate thus you blog and look to impact more people for the better. Risk taking doesn’t mean being a gambler or careless about the end result. It means knowing which task is worth your time, efforts and stretching yourself and or resources to get to a desired result. Even when the journey is uncertain. Networking is absolutely essential, being selective is simply expected. you want to attract the right people to you not everyone is the right fit for your offer or kind of solution.
Keep rocking and thanks for stopping by.
Thanks Julie & Paul I do believe I have an entrepreneur mindset, Passion, and vision and mostly daily personal development are what help me. Thanks for an Awesome Blog Post
Our absolute pleasure Liz,
And we believe you are on the right path to time and financial increase.
Keep rocking and thanks for your comment!
Hey Julie- Mindset is SO SO critical! And it takes focused work to get it right! Reading goes a long way, even just 10 pages a day!
Make that 20 pages of reading a day and you are in my man Jeffrey.
Why? Because you want to Be More – FASTER so You Do More… right! 🙂
So So Critical it is indeed so thank you for your contribution!
Jules
Lots of gold here thanks for sharing Julie. Mindset is really the key to building a successful business.
You are most welcome Sonny. Thanks for stopping by!
This has been quite a thought-provoking post. Surely makes me think about where I am in terms of mindset. I particularly liked the comments about choosing events to go to — more than just a party. Also, the infograph pulls it all together very nicely. Thanks Julie.
Hi Carol,
You are most welcome. See we have noticed and met people at events who when asked what they hoped to gain from it their response was:
-To learn something – thats a given duh! OR
-To Meet and network with like minded people – Another given…
So what exactly do they hope to achieve…BLANK LOOK, Penny drops! Mic drop!
The idea is every action and event is meant to grow your business as soon as possible during or after the event.
Bottom dollar counts or its only a tax write off…! We are in business for profit at the end of the day…
Impacting others is a sure way to do this and a must if one is to make it in our industry.
But we all do agree its not for charity!
So we gotta get our business mindset mojo going on super sonic vibes or …
Awesome Post Julie, you need to have the right mindset to be in business for yourself, or your business won’t grow. You are also right on not trying to recreate the wheel. Thanks for sharing your business mindset. 🙂 Will gladly share!
Our Pleasure Liz,

I always like posts about mindset, because it’s so key! It amazes me how many business owners outside this industry that have stopped having that growth mindset. Great info-graphic!
Hi Cathy,
Tell me about it. See when we stop to develop our mindset, we stop to progress, slowly by slowly we go backwards without even noticing until it hits our bottom dollar…then the penny may drop…!
Thanks for your comment.
