MINDSET DEFINITION

The Entrepreneurial Mindset Network has created an easy to understand, common sense and practical definition of the entrepreneurial mindset, made up of 7 essential entrepreneurial behaviours.

As an aid to memory and learning, one essential entrepreneurial behaviour is allocated to each of the letters in the word MINDSET. The 7 entrepreneurial behaviours are: [M]eet real needs, [I]nnovate, [N]ever act unethically, [D]are to take risks, [S]ell, [E]xercise for productivity and [T]ake the initiative.

An introduction to this definition of the entrepreneurial mindset is currently available for download in the following 16 languages:

The entrepreneurial mindset is relevant to students, lecturers and researchers from every academic discipline, to professional services staff (e.g. learning support, student welfare, estates, HE, knowledge transfer).
