Think Like a Founder: The Entrepreneurial Mindset That Separates Winners from Quitters

18 minutes

Jeannette examines the entrepreneurial mindset that distinguishes successful founders from those who give up. She emphasises the importance of resilience, creativity, and the ability to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

Jeannette explains how:

Thinking like a founder involves taking ownership of your journey, including your mindset, emotions, and growth

Successful entrepreneurs interpret failure as a signal to learn and adjust rather than a stop sign.

They manage their emotions and use setbacks as feedback to fuel their growth

Engaging in daily reflection helps build self-awareness and provides context for personal growth.

Journaling can be a cathartic process that allows individuals to track their progress and learn from their experiences.

Visualising success in detail and using positive affirmations can boost confidence and emotional readiness.

These practices help train the subconscious mind and raise energy levels, making it easier to attract desired outcomes.
