The Entrepreneurial Spirit


Listen Later

The episode is a chapter from an eBook Tracy wrote for business and Business owners, during lockdown in 2020. The eBook "Ignite your Spark" is about discovering how to develop the grit, drive and determination to become a shining superstar. In this episode, She covers Chapter 1 - The Entrepreneurial Spirit and the Six P's which Tracy believes that spirit boils down to Passion, Path, Positivity, Perseverance and Productivity.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • The thing that all entrepreneurs have in common is the fact that they are rebels who refuse to follow blindly and refuse to settle. This allows them to push themselves past the set boundaries and see opportunities that are presented. 
  • The entrepreneurial mindset transcends business. The core of this is to wonder what is possible. 
  • The first of the six P’s is Passion. This is the fire that drives you, it’s what gives you motivation and the desire to make a difference in the world around you. When you tie your passion to a business idea it drives success. 
  • Path. This provides you the map to actualising your idea and allows you persevere. Detail all the things you need to forge ahead. 
  • Positivity. If you anticipate failure, then you’ll fail. Your thoughts will work towards manifesting the outcome. A positive mindset is more likely to succeed. Positivity in the face of adversity is one of the biggest skills you can have. 
  • People. You have to look for and build strong networks to be successful in business. Without a support system you can lose sight of your passion and path. 
  • Perseverance. People who succeed are the ones who haven't given up. Your business success depends on your ability to look failure in the face and find the courage to move forward to achieve your goals. 
  • Productivity. Your ability to use time well will dictate how quickly or slowly you achieve your goals. We all have other commitments in life, and those are necessary. But there are distractions such as social media that just drains your time and your ability to be productive. The P we don’t want is procrastination.
