Mindset Journal

As I dive deeper into my exploration as an entrepreneur and creator, it is important that I track my progress through this journey. In my Mindset Journal I become more familiar with the 8 Mindsets of An Entrepreneur.

Opportunity

To take advantage of a pathway or open door that can lead to success and action of an idea.

Action

To have the creative confidence to execute ideas and take risks towards an outcome.

Community

To create and find a safe space where people with common interests can help each other.

Choice

To evaluate your options and respond to individual circumstances for something that's beneficial for YOU.

Brand

To establish an equitable reputation of yourself that others respect and admire.

Wealth

To grow an abundance of money or an attribute that is valued from others.

Persistence

To constantly pick yourself up after a failure and take setbacks in stride.

Knowledge

To have a self-driven attitude with an accepting mentality to absorb new information.

Dreyfus Model

My rating of each skill uses the Dreyfus Model, a model of how the individual acquires skills through learning and practicing. This was discovered by Stuart and Hubert Dreyfus in 1980 at the University of California, Berkeley.

Being Novice means that a thorough understanding of the information is still being learned. Basic rules and context of the skill are still developing.
This stage means that the individual has experienced and practiced with the skill. There is less guidance for the person and more confidence in their abilities.
Being Competent is having a clear understanding and responsibility of the skill. The individual is efficient and organized with this skill and knows their execution.
In the level of Proficient, the individual knows how to solve issues with this skill and is able to complete a job or task. They will see critical aspects of a situation and know how to utilize the skill within this issue.
As an expert, the individual has extensive experience in this skill and doesn't need rules or guidelines on how to execute its usage. The individual utilizes their own personal intuition to solve an issue.

I want to be able to make decisive decisions in confidence. My goal to become more skilled in this area is to choose to take a day off from swim practice when I have too much homework.

Choice

Taking advantages of the opportunities I am put in or given is a very strong suit of mine. To improve in this area, I want to become more aware of the resources I have to create opportunities for myself.

Expanding my connections was a goal I had in mind, but I also want to create a positive culture of growth through those connections. My goal in community is to help others contribute to an environment of productivity in the classroom.

Community

To build my skills in persistence, I want to challenge myself beyond my limits. A goal I have is to tackle a project that I think is out of my comfort zone. I want to learn new skills through the process of failure while demonstrating the act of persistence.
