8 tips to Fix your Entrepreneurial Mindset


Hey Reader,

Stop researching & just start

Action will always teach you more than reading a book will. Books are great for building base knowledge, but you have to take action and make mistakes to build expertise. No one became an expert on anything purely just from reading. Plus, action is way more fun!

Accept that you will make mistakes

It’s bound to happen. You will f*ck things up, and that’s part of the process. Luckily, most things are significantly more reversible than you think, and you can correct things. Being bad at things is part of becoming great at anything. It’s the right of passage.

Identify personal problems & become a problem solver

Whenever you have a persistent problem in your life, develop a solution. Keep going until the problem doesn’t plague you any more. The big first problem I solved for myself was I couldn’t remember anything. I was always forgetting things and asking people the same questions. So, I learned to write everything down and take proper notes. Now, I don’t forget anything.

Cut out time to solve problems and build things

If you don’t make time to become an entrepreneur and build skills, you will never transition. Time is the fuel needed to become an expert at anything. Without time, you will stay in the same spot.

Be persistent and take things as far as possible

On many occasions, my first solution or idea rarely solved the problem. Luckily, most things don’t take 100s of iterations, but many require persistence. Keep going until the problem is solved. You will be rewarded.

Surround yourself with entrepreneurs

Being around other entrepreneurs who embody these qualities will push you to internalize all these traits. You will absorb information from them.

Do the things you say you will do

If you say you’re going to build that thing, build it. Develop the habit of keeping your word and being an executor. Otherwise, your dreams will never materialize into reality. You’ll be seen as a talker rather than a doer.

Let your curiosity guide you

There aren’t any perfect ideas. Stop looking for the perfect opportunity because there isn’t one. Pick something you’re interested in and take it as far as possible. You’ll learn so much through action, and your next idea will reveal itself. That’s how I discovered ScatterMind.

Success In Business (and life) Is NOT a Linear Upward Climb…

Hey Reader, Here are the 4 questions I ask myself when I'm not seeing my revenue grow: Are you spending enough time on your project or giving up to early? Give a business idea at least 6 months to a year before calling it quits. Typically, the growth I experience happens in leaps rather than a steady incline. So, you have to be consistent and patient.
