The 5 Dimensions of an Entrepreneurial mindset are:

1. High self-efficacy beliefs, means believing firmly in our ability to navigate life and
achieve the goals we set for ourselves. And the more mastery experience we have,
the more robust our sense of self-efficacy becomes.

2. An internal locus of control, have deeply held beliefs that fate, luck, circumstance
or powerful beings somehow control the event in their lives, having a “if it is to be,
it’s up to me” belief.

3. A growth mindset, is having mindset that learning and intellectual growth is


constantly changing/growing and not stagnant on a certain level, as long as one
goes the extra mile.

external/extrinsic reward. Extrinsically driven motivations tend to fail in the long
run as compared to an intrinsically driven motivation.

their own odds for success. An entrepreneurial mindset may mark the difference
between a lucrative business and one which shutters the doors before the first year is
over.
