“Long before the word ‘entrepreneur’ became popular, the concept still existed.” – Clifton Taulbert

What is the mindset of successful entrepreneurs? What underlying beliefs and behaviors enable them to succeed? How do they recognize opportunities the rest of us overlook? What is it that leads them to accomplish so much with so little? Were they born with a unique ability or is an entrepreneurial mindset something we can all learn to apply?

I met Gary Schoeniger earlier in October, co-author of the book Who Owns the Ice House? Eight Life Lessons From An Unlikely Entrepreneur. Gary has interviewed hundreds of successful entrepreneurs across America – from mom-and-pop startups to Inc. 500 winners. Some were highly educated, others barely finished high school. Some were experts in their field. Others had little or no experience at all. For some, becoming an entrepreneur was a lifelong dream. For others it was a matter of survival.

Most started with little or nothing. They all overcame setbacks, adversity, and failures that ultimately enabled them to succeed. Each of their stories contained valuable knowledge and insights as a mindset began to emerge.

Gary now knows that entrepreneurship is a mindset that can empower ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He has developed programs to teach the entrepreneurial mindset.

The entrepreneurial mindset provides for unlimited opportunities. The lessons of entrepreneurs do not require vast amounts of money, special training, or unique abilities. They are timeless and universal truths that anyone can apply.

The entrepreneurial mindset can empower people to create the life they have imagined. It is a mindset that can enable people to recognize opportunities that are within their reach. It is a mindset that can empower triumph over adversity and provide for making a greater contribution during a lifetime.

Great advances in life rarely come about as the result of doing more of what we are already doing. They come about as the result of a shift in our awareness followed by a change in our behavior.
