If you read biographies of successful entrepreneurs, their stories often sound quite alike. Many entrepreneurs go through long periods of hardship before bouncing back and becoming major successes. This isn’t some odd coincidence, this is because there are certain qualities that make a person well suited to being a successful entrepreneur.
Your mindset is the general way that you think about things. People are often described as “optimists” or “pessimists,” for example. So, someone could have an optimistic mindset.
