While watching this I realized that even if your old it’s not too late to become an entrepreneur, to become an entrepreneur you need to get out on your comfort zone you need to take a risk we need to explore to find what we really want. Its okay to failed all the time but we should fail wisely. I learned that being an entrepreneur you need set different ration; you need to be resourceful in a very terribly moment and we should make our dreams a reality.

Every entrepreneur has a unique story about why they decided to start their own business. Some knew from the start that they wanted to work for themselves, while others have ideas while working for someone else and decide to take the entrepreneurial leap. Entrepreneurs are pioneers. Consider all of the new technology and ideas that have emerged in recent years. All of these were once just ideas, but incredible entrepreneurs brought them to life. You are a role model. People will look up to you as an entrepreneur. You have the potential to be a role model for your family, friends, coworkers, and community members. Your success serves as a source of motivation and inspiration for others.
I like the mindset of keep your eye open, set yourself up, make up your mind and just do it. Practice makes it perfect.

"she's not complaining & she's not complacent - she's challenging ...( the status quo )... " LOVED THESE!
The speech has that entrepreneurial mindset of thinking like even there is no box💯
This video really helped me understand more about having the appropriate mindset for being an entrepreneur, and the best part is that it mentions that failing is acceptable since it will bring you to the innovation curve. Being hungry to attempt new things till you learn to explore your potentials is the true entrepreneur mindset.
This talk is really an eye opener. Every entrepreneur has difficulties, and those difficulties motivate us to do our best and improve. Getting out of your comfort zone is a major step, and you must be willing to take risks in order to learn new things in the business world. Keep your eye open, take risk, set yourself up and stand tall! Good things takes time and practice makes perfect.
I'm a shy person, so talking to people, selling, and marketing are all out of my comfort zone, but since I love cooking and making beverages, I thought, "What if I sell this?" But how exactly? I don't want to talk to people and attempt to convince them to purchase my products. But I gave it a shot anyway, thinking outside the box about how I might sell my products despite the fact that communicating to people is my weakness. As I'm still a shy person, I looked for resellers to help me sell my products while I figure out, observe, and learn or master the art of communicating, selling, and how to approach potential customers. We should also not be afraid of failing since it is a part of success. We learn from our mistakes, and it is never too late to learn. Everything has its own process.
This video really helped me understand more about having the right mentality of being an entrepreneur and the best thing about this video is that it mentioned here that it is okay to fail because your failure will lead you to the innovation curve. True entrepreneur mindset is being hungry to try new things until you learn to explore your potentials. Having to think outside the box and going out of your comfort zone is very hard but it will ensure the improvement of your mindset especially when it comes to entrepreneurship.
I like how this talk opened our eyes to the fact that entrepreneurship is timeless and without bounds. It all comes down to making an effort and being willing to adapt to changing circumstances. Also, by not relying entirely on what you believe you are capable of doing. Be as adaptable as possible and take advantage of the opportunity to learn and broaden your knowledge through innovation. Importantly, have your own group of people who share your interests. Because it will help you and your subordinates improve and grow your business. As the saying goes, "Two heads are better than one." Also, we should keep in mind that not all successful entrepreneurs did not fail. Failure pushes us forward by enabling us to improve our performance. This is about making good decisions and giving ourselves room to grow.
This video’s message is so relevant for us students and future entrepreneurs. There is something special about successful entrepreneurs, they have a way of thinking and acting that is different than most people. The good news is that anyone can learn to think like an entrepreneur and to put these powerful secrets to work in their own lives, no matter what they do. You're the one who decides the attitudes and assumptions you will carry with you through your life, and you're the one who can change them. Know that you can succeed (you can!), and then put all your energy into it. Once we resolve ourselves to achieve something, then nothing can stop us.
Entrepreneurs succeed like they do because they think, act, and view the world differently from most people. I got the chance to pick the brain of a successful American business woman, Kara Goldin. According to Kara, you should find your main purpose in life to be able to have a creative mindset and become a successful entrepreneur. After finding that passion, everything will smoothly go their way.
I totally agree with you on this. Your purpose in life will drive your entrepreneurial journey.
Totally agree, Hala !!
Did she say how to find this creative mindset?
By watching this video it gave me the idea of how a entrepreneur really works, we should not let opportunity just pass around us, we should grab it and take care of it. And as a graduating student it gives me the motivation to pursue my dreams entirely.
love the spirit 💙
This is a remarkable video with important lessons to help us understand many aspects of life, It made us realize that entrepreneurship is eternal and has no limitations, especially if you've ever contemplated starting a business. Successful entrepreneurs are not scared to attempt new things, so they do not grow too comfortable in their existing circumstances. They keep trying new things and expanding their horizons. We'll have to think outside the box and push ourselves out of our comfort zones on a daily basis. We must also maintain our optimism in order to properly comprehend the positive aspects of every mistake we make. Aside from that, our upbeat outlook allowed us to make more informed selections.
The aspect of seeking connectivity and being honest caught me.
I admire the thought that Amy Wilkinson's favorite Entrepreneurs are her grandmother and her partner because as she said they are curious, they are constantly learning, constantly questioning, they constantly overcome setbacks, and they really believe that tomorrow will be better than today. I immediately understood why she said it because the people that she interviewed like Elon Musk embody these traits. Like her Grandmother, Elon isn't complacent and does not complain, he challenges everything and we see that in his Space X project. The talk gives insight on how the future entrepreneurs should be like her grandmother, not entirely, but to be able to continually improve, be hungry for knowledge, be flexible, and more importantly be adventurous. We shouldn't be always happy with the state we are in now, we should always think better and bigger and that should mean leaving our comfort zone which Amy pointed out is where the magic happens. The TED Talk gives us facts and big insights on how we should adjust our thinking to fit that Entrepreneur mentality, although people have it naturally, again we should always be hungry for knowledge and always be acceptable to change.
True words thanks
It will take effort on the part of the entrepreneur, but it will be worthwhile. Other keys to thinking like an entrepreneur include not being troubled by inefficiency, seeing opportunities, invention, flexibility and adaptation, self-direction, effective communication, critical thinking, and others.
Awesome thanks

Great talk!! 🙏
This is an interesting video about the entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is new challenges and opportunities present themselves at every turn and also having the success of entrepreneurs is not easy. The only way is to do the great work that we love what we do. If we haven't found it yet, don’t give up, even if we have to wait a few years for our dreams to come true. keep looking. Don't settle. So in the future, I will try my best to be a successful entrepreneur and I know if my wishes will be fulfilled or not but be sure to be responsible, hardworking, and perseverant.
Thanks you just gave me a key to to think
I love this Content really sooo helpful ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
For me Successful entrepreneurs have a distinct way of thinking and doing from the majority of people. The good news is that no matter what they do, everyone can learn to think like an entrepreneur and put these powerful secrets to work in their own life.
That's really inspiring
"they got comfortable being uncomfortable" you know where else I read that? "Living with a SEAL" by Jesse Itzler, good stuff
One of the reasons that most entrepreneurs are successful is because they are always curious. Entrepreneurial thinking is engaged with where one attributes accountability for their experiences. One of the most effective ways to improve is to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, the results obtained are entirely determined by who we are, what we think, our personal habits, and our beliefs. When we work on improving ourselves on a regular basis, we gain a better understanding of ourselves, hence having to think and be like an entrepreneur in a way.
Interesting speech, liked it!
Getting out of your comfort zone may be difficult especially if you are really into it, and you need to take risks at some point. Thinking out of the box and getting out of your comfort zone also have a good thing for us, especially for students. We will explore things in this world and find the things that we are interested in and make it into a business. Making some failures for the first time and some other times is fine because Failures are also lessons for us to learn and create an opportunity for that mistake or failure will be a great output in some particular time and depending on the solutions. Having an entrepreneurial mindset will ease us especially when people are opening their eyes and setting themselves and making up their minds. No one is perfect and it needs more process for it to be perfect as you expect.
This video is very interesting and we can get some information that might help if we plan to have our own business someday. To become a successful entrepreneur, we need to be curious about something and try to learn new things each day. And also try to move out of our comfort zone. You choose your mind-set. You choose the attitudes and assumptions you'll take with you for the rest of your life, and you have the power to change them. Change your mindset and the work you're doing if they're not getting you where you want to go. When you feel you deserve better, refuse to accept life and circumstances as they are. Being determined entails not only having the strength, bravery, and perseverance to persevere in the face of adversity, but also being strategically equipped to fight. When you're determined, you're in a good position to make solid judgments and put in the effort necessary to succeed in whatever you're doing.

In regards to the Titanic story. Under normal circumstances, people can't think clearly when they panic. Only afterwards we can assess what the possible solutions could have been to save more lives.
I am the reverse... I am only decisive when there's panic situation
Very motivational, thank you.
Really good!
Love it.
unique way of thining, that is what is in common for most of the successful entrepreneurs
Thank you Sfac
This is what I learned in my engineering education.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of dream, and take action
This is just ADHD explained by someone not realizing they were explaining ADHD. “Thinking outside the box” is the only way we think. Ideas? Imagine a bag of popcorn. As soon as one idea pops up, the amount of them picks up then gets faster and faster and there are so many ideas to even say them out loud. The “brainstorm” is real folks, just not for most people. I saw a TED talk where the speaker was a successful Entrepreneur who had polled a group of 200 CEOs that owned companies that were very successful (over 50 employees and $10m in sales) where the average was twice that of the minimum. The vast majority of them are ADHD. Rant over, thanks for coming to my Ted talk
Thanks for moving me

Change is inevitable. Adjust or be left out.

At the end of the video, I have noticed that it has only 97k views in 3 years?! Why such a good speaking has such a low repercussion?
If you didn't like this video to the point to not share, could you be able to explain me why?
I could see why... Coz the only more important point are shared at the near end... Ppl who are impatient or thought its a lousy video will skip it...
I could hardly understand what he was saying even turned the captions on and it was horrible too. Sad that a professor would have a student watching this to the point that noone can understand the language.
Beautifully explained, become a big fan of yours, can you guide, coach me, I would reproduce your thoughts in local language and to make them understand the purpose of life, ofcourse, will acknowledge you
Hi maam jophen

I definitely do not agree with the first point. It comes down to earning money while I think that entrepreneurship is more than that. It is about having a well defined strategy, moral values, objective (social and personal), about knowing how do i want to change this world, to make it better. But if you plan to do something, then just look at the outlier in data, and drastically change your project, you are just an opportunist, not someone who is creating something bigger.
hi
table as floating board, really, when the water was minus minus degrees and people that didn't drown straight away, just froze to death, iceberg didn't melt because it was Very Cold water.
12:39 Standing on an ICEBERG, really?
We do take the point: think differently. However we may give a bit more credit to those aboard.
Indeed, it is known that the ship continued to travel after impact.
ScienceABC notes "There are a few reasons (for not fleeing to the Ice Island ). First, the ship continued for some distance (a mile or so) after hitting the iceberg. It wasn’t as though the iceberg was next to the ship when it was sinking. Even if it was, climbing (a huge slippery rock without gear) would be next to impossible for hundreds of passengers.
It’s a bit callous and ignores reality. Build Atlantic sea worthy vessels from tables? In two hours? Then navigate to an iceberg separating yourself from the last SOS location?
Kanban boards do have limits.
Unfortunately she has no experience with maritime rescue under arctic circumstances. With "thinking like an entrepreneur" a person suffering from hypothermia will not be able to climb on an iceberg and survive until help arrives. Palo Alto is far removed from the North Atlantic.

I loved the video, but Airbnb??Entrepreneurial??
They just stole $485.75 from me for a mistake that they made a year ago.
I would prefer if they made they money in a more honest, responsible way. Not just stealing it from a working class person.

First half of video is just another motivational video with no insights what so ever. Another pile of billionaire stories. No insight that you haven't heard. And not all entrepreneurship is about tech and apps. It's not always about some crazy breakthrough. Where are the actual basics?
