Some people are born with it, some people tip toe into it, and some embrace it as soon as they get a taste of it. I’m talking about the Entrepreneurial mindset.
Many people say that an Entrepreneur is born and not made. However, I am living proof that they can be made. While it didn’t come as easily to me as it did to others who grew up with parents who started their own businesses or those who knew from their first lemonade stand that the Entrepreneur’s life was for them, but I did get there. And I did it in my own way and on my own terms.
One of the ways I started shifting into the Entrepreneurial mindset early on in my journey was through some self-reflective journaling. I knew that from a technical standpoint, I could do all the things to start, grow and run my business, but the mindset behind that was my struggle. I had various limiting beliefs that were holding me back from truly having an Entrepreneur’s mindset. The only way to get through them was to recognize them and start whittling away at them one-by-one.
Daily journaling helped me:
- Recognize the mindsets I was struggling most with
- Acknowledge them
- Explore them and really dig to find out what was underneath them
- Develop a plan for reframing them and replacing with mindsets that actually supported me
Some days I’d write a lot and some days only a little, but when I actually kept up with the journaling practice, I noticed profound changes in my mindset. I am sharing with you some of my favorite journaling prompts for Entrepreneurs in hopes that it can help you in the way it helped, and continues to help, me.
