What does thinking like an entrepreneur mean?
In this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan unpacks this very question with her guest Kelsey Abbott, a serial entrepreneur and triathlete who is unapologetically invested in helping people unlock their true potential.
Meghan and Kelsey discuss the mechanisms of thinking that define us as entrepreneurs which brings us to the final episode of this series and the final letter of the IMPACT acronym, the ‘T’, which stands for thinking like an entrepreneur.
Meghan and Kelsey believe one of the best qualities of an entrepreneur is being decisive and grabbing on to an opportunity when it presents itself. However, they stress that the “how” is really less important than having the clarity of what you want to attract as an entrepreneur. Life can unfold almost magically if you set your intention on your entrepreneurial goals.
The foundation of your business is you, so you have to take care of your physical, mental and spiritual self first to be able to help others. Make yourself available to others because entrepreneurs don’t meet their clients sitting at desks; they meet them when they’re out in the world being their best selves.
Get rid of your negative thought habits and the story you’ve been telling yourself. Picture your ideal clients and go after them. Be excited to do it differently and when people say no, don’t take it personally. It’s not about you at all, it’s about the universe guiding each person -- including you.
