Winning Entrepreneur Mindset
While most people worry about having money, the wealthy focus their attention on making money. They also know that making money has more to do with their mindset than with the investment vehicle itself. The mindset of a person is truly what prevents or allows them to make money, not the market. So regardless of the investment vehicle you choose, if you adopt the mindset that I will now detail thoroughly, you will develop the mentality you need. So if you’re ready for the challenge, let’s begin.
Making money with the winning entrepreneur mindset.
There are four ways of thinking correctly, I call it the extraordinary mindset that makes you money in any venture you’re creating, starting, or thinking of starting. Developing the right mindset will ensure your success as an entrepreneur and generate wealth from it.

Entrepreneurial Mindset Number One: You Can’t Make Money If You Don’t Know How to Sell
While this may not be a well-known idea, many entrepreneurs easily forget it. Some focus on developing and manufacturing their product, others invest money in marketing, and others simply worry about appearing to be a successful entrepreneur. However, the bottom line is, if you can’t sell, you won’t make money. When I returned from Vietnam for the first time and decided to become an entrepreneur and investor, my rich dad simply told me, “If you want to enter the business world, you must learn to sell.”
I took my rich dad’s advice seriously. I got a job in sales. I did it not for the salary but for the opportunity to learn. I recognized that if I could overcome my own fears of making a presentation and closing a deal, I would possess a set of skills that would allow me to negotiate with business partners, obtain financing for investment opportunities, and lead with authority. If you are an entrepreneur or are considering becoming one, you must honestly evaluate your ability to sell. One of the keys to evaluating your sales skills is considering how well you also communicate with others. If you can effectively communicate with others, you are well on your way to mastering the art of selling.
The first step to becoming a master of communication is learning to listen. Most people pretend to listen but are actually thinking about what they will say when the person they are listening to stops talking. As a result, they give responses and statements that often have little to do with what the buyer was talking about.
Continuing Entrepreneurial Mindset
Speaking of which, too often, salespeople offer a solution, product, or service without even listening to the buyer’s problem or objective. They are focused on making a sale, seeing the buyer more as an obstacle to overcome than an individual to serve. Learn to listen and serve, and you’ll know how to sell.
Entrepreneurial Mindset Number 2: Pursue Your Passion
Being an entrepreneur is tough. Usually, when you start, you take on all the roles in your company. Your business card may say founder and CEO, but you’re also the janitor. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Many people are drawn to entrepreneurship because they like knowing that the success or failure of the company depends solely on them.
[Music]
If you’re not careful, you can easily disconnect from your passion, and once your passion is gone, your days are numbered. Most entrepreneurs become disconnected from their passion because they get caught up in the thick of thin things. In other words, by dedicating so much time, energy, and effort to the administrative activities of the company, they have little or nothing left to devote to visionary activities.
Entrepreneurial Mindset Number 3: Don’t Be Afraid to Set a Price for Your Product or Service
Also known as knowing the value of your product. Selling your product or service short-term and to yourself is what you do every time you wonder if you’re charging too much. Even if you do it unconsciously, your lack of confidence is transmitted to the consumer.
These days, there are low-cost and, in some cases, free versions of almost every product that exists. Because of this, you might be tempted to do the same and set the price of your product solely based on what is cheaper than your competitor. Here’s what you need to remember: If people love your product or service, they’ll be willing to pay a lot of money for it. Think about Apple products for a minute. People are willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for computing devices that are essentially the same or very similar to those of the competition.
Both Macs and PCs can browse the internet, edit images, and play media. They are essentially the same thing. However, if any die-hard Apple fan were to hear this statement, they would come back with a litany of reasons why Macs are better than PCs. And that’s the point. Steve Jobs knew and believed in the value of his products.
Entrepreneurial Mindset Number 4: Fail Fast, Fail Often
Most entrepreneurs and investors are not risk-averse. If they were, they would still be playing it safe in their 9 to 5 jobs. However, to make money, you must experiment, take risks that may scare you, and even be willing to lose money.
As an entrepreneur, if you hope not to make any mistakes, then you’ve already made your first mistake. Don’t view mistakes as something to be avoided at all costs but as unique learning opportunities tailored to you, your circumstances, and your business. The more choices you can learn from and the faster you can learn them, the more it will help cut the learning curve and position you to grow your business.
By adopting the mindset of failing fast and failing often, you begin to harness the power of iteration—the process of repeating and refining a process to achieve a goal.
The ultimate goal of your entrepreneurship will always be to make money and thrive. To achieve this goal, you must persist until you achieve the growth that makes your company self-sufficient. When starting a business, speed is crucial to success. The stricter you can execute experiments and the faster you can automate processes, the more chances you have of finding that winning combination. That winning combination helps you become scalable, and scalability is what allows you to achieve your big dream.
So don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Fail fast, fail often, and learn even faster. You have to try, make mistakes, learn, and try again. If you try, make a mistake, and give up, you’ll never have the success you could have had.
