If you want to change your life by becoming an entrepreneur, you first have to change your mindset.
Why?
Well, your thinking led to the choices that created the life you’re living now…
Most of us have been influenced by family, friends, and society who may have our best interests at heart…
They often want us to stay safe and comfortable, going to school, getting a job, and working till we (hopefully) retire…
Sadly though, these same influences can keep us stuck in a cycle, making the same choices over and over that create a life we aren’t happy with.
Here are 4 elements to developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
Live Your Life On Purpose
Imagine you could go back 10 years into the past…
Are you living the life you envisioned back then?
If you’re anything like most people, you’ve been wandering through life, finding employment, and forming relationships, with no idea of your true potential…
Even if you do have an idea of your true potential, then you’ve probably run into obstacle after obstacle that’s kept you away from it…
If you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, you have to act with intention and be willing to stay committed to your goals even when it’s hard.
Take a second to think about your daily habits.
Are they helping you build the kind of life you want to live?
Once you start living with intention, you’ll stop doing things that drain your time, energy, and money, and start doing things that will create the life you want to live.
Own Your Power
What if you had a limitless source of inner power that could push you to accomplish anything you set your mind to?
The truth is, everyone has a source of strength they draw from to overcome obstacles, which comes from the way we see ourselves.
Sadly, most of us don’t see ourselves as capable, influential problem-solvers…
We dwell on our faults and mistakes, which eventually tears us down and causes our power to disappear.
But what if you got rid of your negative thoughts and replaced them with empowering beliefs?
Envision yourself as the badass problem-solving entrepreneur you are…
Once you change your mindset and own your true power, you’ll be well on your way to success.
(here’s a few tips from Keala to help you control your negative thoughts)
Focus On Service, Not Self
When you focus on the value you can give to others, you start seeing people’s needs more clearly.
Practice taking a real interest in others, and be authentic in your dealings with other people…
Once you truly know what your potential customers need and value, you can adapt your business to serve them better.
As you begin to think of more ways to serve others, you create more ways to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Fail Forward
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” – Thomas Edison
Failure is an absolute necessity for growth, but most of us allow failure to get us down or make us give up…
If you can learn to see failure from a new mindset, you can use these as opportunities to learn, grow, and make progress towards success.
Look at the problem that led to the “failure”. Where did you go wrong?
What path could you have taken to get a different result?
When you start to think like an entrepreneur, you’ll trust the process, learn from your mistakes, and be open to trying new things until you get the result you want.
Learn to let go and make each failure work in your favor.
Conclusion
Making the jump from employee to entrepreneur starts with your mindset.
You’ve got to start living with intent and taking action daily to achieve your goals…
Change the way you see yourself to tap into your inner power…
Practice looking through the eyes of other people so you can better serve their needs and give them what they value…
And don’t let failure get you down – learn what you need to learn and let it go.
Developing the mindset of a confident, problem-solving entrepreneur will help ensure your success.

You are so right my brother I am 71yrs young and my confidence is not what it used to be but everything you say is the truth. I keep telling myself I may not understand what to do and I don’t want to fail its like I’ll be letting you down, you seem to have so much confidence that I can do this.
I agree with Yaminah I love entrepreneurship, I’ve venture through my own business, had my ups and downs trials and tribulations. I can’t Stop and won’t QUIT!!! no matter how tired and exhausted I get. I have to keep the Drive going because I grew up Poor in segregation, people trying to limit my capability. Yes I know what it feels like to be without and that’s why I Refuse to GIVE UP!!! I’m not where I want to be so this is why I’m willing to give this a try.
Great perspective of seeing each side of things. It truly makes sense, out mindset is what gets us through the negative and positive of things in our life and how we dealt with it to our advantage.
I have signed up for the class and am excited to be on this journey
I am determined to be successful and keep on keeping on
I agree with you, i don’t have the confident to do it, hopefully your team will put me through.
Thank you for the great article! I’m already signed up for the September 2021 BLC.
Really good Keala !
Thanks for all your positive thoughts . I’m really really excited to learn and grow from here forward.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Business and the town that I am in has gotten me no where. I hope this works. I hope it isn’t another scam. 5 kids is a lot to take care of and dishing out money wasn’t a business goal I had in mind but we shall see what happens
It also depends on the circle of people you are around.
Your comment struck a cord with me as I too am 70 years young and am worried about not understanding. I’m not a computer geek although I was successful in my career of business administration. However, much of the terminology in the sessions are foreign to me. How did you do?
Thanks for the continued support. Much needed. Thanks again.
Keala, You do speak the truth, and u seem to be wise beyond your years. I will be 55 in a little over a week. I try to see the positive in everything do. I like the others that have left comments don’t want to let u down or fail at this, therefore I will think positive and I will not fail or let you down! I know that seem like empty words, as my dad use to tell me, “you are only as good as your word and if your word isn’t good then you aren’t either”. (with a few exceptions) And my mom use to tell me “the proof is in the pudding” So, Watch out here I come…may take me a minute cause I’m not as sharp as I once was but I refuse to give up because I am not where I wanted to be in life at 55, but I will get there come hell or high water!!! Thank you!
What you say is the truth. We as humans tend to stray from our goals and beliefs. We may think we have everything we need but we don’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of. You made me realize that I can achieve my goals if I overcome my fear of failure and put my values into action and become who I want to be.
Thank You
Great way of thinking . I never thought of life in that manner and it helps me to realize that there is an upside to downfalls. Thank you for that.
You’re welcome Gloria! I’m glad you found value in this and hope it helps you on your journey.
I agree with a lot of the comments. My self confidence has (unfortunately) taken a nose dive as I’ve gotten older, but I know I can do and accomplish things if I put my mind to it, as I have in the past; for example, I have taken new teaching jobs, joined the Peace Corps and lived and worked in Guatemala for 2 years, moved to Brattleboro, VT for two summers where I worked on and earned my Masters Degree in education with a Spanish concentration. I’ve always been afraid of letting people down, mainly myself. I think expecting too much out of my self has held me back in trying, experimenting and doing a number of things. I need to get past that, set dome goals, make a plan and dive in!!! I CAN and WILL be successful!!!
Ive been ready for awhile now.. But truly mind opening metaphor, using the atom.. I loved that. And that is how i will forever look at things from tonight on.. Thanks for the insight and good luck everyone this next weekend! Im so stoked!
I have no doubt that you can earn money with this program.
I want to see myself in the future making at least $5,000 each month. Yes that’s what I need to keep surviving.
I agree wholeheartedly with what you said. I have tried other things before that have failed but I didn’t let that stop me. I don’t actually see them as failures, I see them as learning lessons on what not to do next time.
I am so excited about this weekend. I know good things are going to happen.
I like the way you talk about the negative and the positive thinking..It was kind a cool.. the way you expressed it …It’s bullshit I said it..lol..Cool.. The reason I join your program was, I wanted to take a chance on something and see how it works out. I hope I did all the steps right. Thank you..
Well let’s see I have told my kids you can do anything you put your mind too and now it’s time for me to put my actions where my mouth is so that said I’m give this all I can I’m 58 this year not the best at computers but I’m getting there and your words and actions have inspired me to do this in full and see where I can go and try not to disappoint you or myself thank you I look forward to the challenge
Liked your video: some takeaways: Fail Forward, Live Life on Purpose; Focus on Service and NOT self.
Hi, how you doing, I just want to say that was awesome and it really makes you think and I’ve thought and I am in 100%….Thank you, looking forward to working with you.
Enjoyed the video. Never would have thought of negative and positive being as one balance, Can’t wait to tell my children about this, I am normal! I am ready for this new journey in my life!
This is such a nice surprise finding this deep level thinking in my just starting a business. Thank you!
I’m very nervous but sticking with it.I’m 80 years old snd all that computer stuff scares me but you are helping me get over my fear.Thank you for helping people like me.God bless you!
Words of inspiration and support are always appreciated. Thsnk you for the direction.
I finally found the right mentor! I keep hearing your words (wax on/wax off). Trust the process and keep falling forward. I got this
This information really opened my mind to the different ways to understanding how to look at the negative and positive happenings in life,all the information was helpful
Wow, this way of thinking or new mindset is eye opening! I’ve always thought of myself as a positive thinking person but life would get in the way and I basically ignored or shut out the negatives that impacted me. After reading this article I realize that recognizing the negative and addressing it would’ve help me advance farther in life. I feel awakened at 51 so thankyou for opening not only my eyes but my mind as well.
It’s called being human by having both negative and positive thoughts.what lesson have learned and how to move on and find the lesson you just learned. Plus how you can move forward with a different outlook. This video is well done. I kept nodding my head yes to this super information. I can also go back and watch this video when I need it. Well done!!!
,Thanks Keala. for sharing your knowledge this is the reason I am here today learning, each day I process a little bit .
My whole world was destroyed by Covid, I lost my longtime bf, after dismantling my home health care business, to care him when he was left paralyzed, I fractured my spine his 2nd day home adjusting him in his wheelchair, but had no choice but keep going, couldnt risk letting any help in with his weak immune system. Unfortunately his heart gave out a few months ago and I lost him, just after reinjuring my back, with no income income coming in, ( he did leave me his retirement acct. but Im determined to let it grow, and had decided to open an online store, but even after months of research, I still wasnt sure the best way to get started but determined to get it going by the end of September.
And thats when I saw Keala’s invite, it seemed to good to be true, but he seemed very sincere and jumped on the chance to have him mentor me, and know Id be going in the right direction.
Im very excited like everyone else, its the distraction I needed, and I figure, after what Ive been through the last 2 years, I know can do anything! My back is healing, though I did do permanent damage, I would do it all over again for him in a heartbeat. I do have live in help, and she’s very supportive of my determination to build a successful business and get my life back on track. Im looking forward to watching and being a part of everyone’s success at building their business during our challenge wkend!
I will stay away negativity and release in inner power! I will learn the skill to be a successful problem-solving entrepreneur!
I must say that your four points are right on track. For me, I have fashioned my whole 51 previous trips around the yellow ball of fire with serving others, even to my own detriment. I had to force a shift in my thinking. I always tried to stay healthy physically and generally my mindset was not equipped for long term depression, I will always find the positive again. I REFUSE to give up my serving others way of life, not even the military could get that to leave me but I did change my perception of care for the self. It is NOT wrong to ensure my needs are tended to first as long as I don’t get too lazy and comfortable because I always feel the world still needs me.
Just to go with that as true, then the world needs the BEST ME that I can be so it is OK to service the self.
On the Fail idea. I have seen so many fail and give up, sometimes leaving me to hold their dream to carry myself or to hold until they get back up. I see it as Future Attempts In Learning and my mother did not raise a quitter so giving up is not in my DNA. There is a difference between quit and surrender as to surrender is not always negative, sometimes you gotta give to get.
This is a very inspiring article and one I will keep on close hold, sometimes the tiny nuggets work best, they add up quickly, can be easier to carry and are much easier to digest.
So these four points define everything you do? They truly look good on you if you apply without worry.
Thank-you for this nice little journey.
True so True! God show Ol boy!
I’m glad to hear you say that positive all the time is a bunch of bs. Cause I’ve never been able to be positive all the time but I’ve never been depressed all the time either. So talking about balance is nice, and I believe it’s a smart way to approach something new by looking at the pos and neg in the situation.
So much I have read and videos i have watched. All is so true, and even heard some before. I am signed up for Dec, BLC and so fired up. I have been trying to see how much can I learn now, even about myself. I am looking forward to working with the Fullstaq team.
When you’re thinking negatively close your eyes and positive way to help bring you peace and what you want. Now with your eye close breath in for 4 and hold for 4 breath out for 4 and hold for 4. It’s great cuz now there’s peace in your mind and you’ll think clearer and be able to a solution to the problem. Mindset is really good thing I. Sure going to try and improve my thoughts. Thank for giving this info.
Thanks I try to see things in that perspective. Positives and negatives. Yes sometimes we forget thanks for the reminder
I have been taking my steps on building my self esteem and to keep my head up high,no matter what comes throwing at me,I have been struggling to get better to get to my goals in life.
I just want to thank you for this opportunity to grow beyond what I currently believe I am capable of. You have already taught me so much in just a couple of days. I wrote down all the books you mentioned and I will read each one. I have also plugged into Dr. John Demartini’s network. between what you are already teaching and Demartini’s teaching I have and abundance of knowledge to absorb and work to master. thanks again for providing me with the resources to make permanent change.
That was a good video!!
Postive and very vibes for me to take note of. Continue with the good work coaching and training us all.
What books do you recommend we read to add to our development on this journey into entrepreneurship?
Keala’s video was mind bending, it really gave a true perspective on the duality of life we live, as well as the thoughts we think. Really shook my learned perspective on positive thinking, but resounded with so much truth. Mahalo Plenty Keala!! Scheduled for the exciting BLC on April 2022!!
I am a little slow on computers and tech. I am terrified I’m going to fall behind and get left. I am thorough though. I was told I had to do my steps on a PC and after watching the videos several times, I did it all on my phone. I am determined.
For many many years, one of my biggest fears has been failure, and making the wrong decisions. This came from what was drilled into my head as a child, and to what was told to me as a wife and mother. I am no longer a wife, and it took me many years to overcome what was embedded in my brain from childhood. Let me tell you from experience, it IS possible to get rid of those beliefs that hold you down and hold you back. It wasn’t until I started to let myself fail(not on purpose) that I realized this. I have learned more from my failures than I ever have from my successes. Now, I welcome failure! It was nothing to be afraid of in the first place! You just have to ask yourself “How bad do I want this?” Your efforts will answer that.
Keala, I stumbled on to your program accidently, but it’s exactly what I have been wanting to do for many years. So here I am, with no one holding me back or stopping me. I got this!
What a valuable tool that is, learning to change your mind set. I know that it has been mostly me being willing to give up to easily when things got a little tough. I am ready to begin learning about what types of negativity I have through Fullstaq Edge. I feels that will be an invaluable resource for me to dive into. I might have all the desire in the world but there are reasons why I haven’t succeeded in the past and I need to know what those are. That is one of the most important things for me to learn and change about myself. I’m ready.
A change of mindset is very vital to begin a new journey in life. Where there is a will there is always a way and this will be the motivating factor to drive someone through the challenges of life.
Once you start living with intention, you will steer away from things that will drain your time, energy, and money. You will focus on things that will create the life you want to live.
Thanks for the powerful insight to know that once I change my mindset and owning my true power, I will be well on my way to success.
Oh Keala, I can already see how the change of mindset is absolutely crutial. I am already experiencing this. I got into this wanting to work from home, it changed to wanting my own business, as I have so wanted for many many years, then it changed to….I have information in my head that will HELP people. I love to share my knowledge, and after doing a lot of research, reading other people’s take on how this all works, going from one topic to the next(I love to research)…I found my creativity in the lines of how I could incorporate all of this knowledge into a business. It will take a lot of time and work on my part to get this done. I’m all in!! My self confidence has risen immensely! My trick is that I remind myself that I no longer have ANYONE telling me I can’t or shouldn’t do this or that.
I thank you for bringing this out in me!!
Mindset is everything in accomplishing things in life. If you don’t believe in yourself, then who will? I would not have been as successful as I was when I was working as a case manager in a homeless shelter if I had not gone through some of the things my clients went through. I was able to give them confidence in themselves and helped them to think positive. Today might not be a good day, but if you give up then how will you find out what kind of day tomorrow might be. Life changes from day to day!
Appreciate the content of this video! Definitely good for thought! Thank you for sharing!
