The key to becoming a successful entrepreneur is developing the mindset of one. Let’s take a look at the definition of entrepreneur. Entrepreneur is defined as “a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.” When I started my journey and took the jump into becoming part of the business, I took a huge risk. However, the mindset I had was “this is going to be a great opportunity to grow.” In order to become a successful entrepreneur you must be willing to take risks and you must develop positive thinking. Every single person I have met in this field has said “I would not have made it without being an optimist.” Negative thinking will never work in becoming successful. This is because you will negatively think your way out of opportunities.

I will give you an example. When I left my last job multiple people commented to me saying, “Why would you do that? That seems so stressful.” However, I chose to ignore these negative comments and instead viewed it as a prime opportunity to grow and reach financial freedom.

You must train your brain to think positively and optimistically. Sure, you can still be a realist and determine what is a good deal and what is a bad deal (click here to know how). But, using those tools and being able to see opportunities is key. It sounds cliché, but the saying “you can do whatever you set your mind to do” is actually quite true. But, in order to do that you must develop a positive mindset.

First, I challenge you to read these very important books that will help you get inspired and develop a positive mindset. If these books don’t create inspiration, I don’t know what will. They are my top books that I recommend to anyone who wants to train their brain to become a successful entrepreneur.

1. Think and Grow Rich. This book is a must. It helps you become inspired and will help you with keeping your drive and motivation going. It also helps you understand positive thinking. It has full 5 star ratings you won’t be disappointed. Very easy read and extremely inspiring. It gives you the mindset to think like an entrepreneur and shows you examples of great successors. This is my #1 book I always recommend people to read.

2. Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book is my next recommendation. It is very inspiring and motivational showing that you can make a lot of money coming from absolutely nothing. It also shows the difference between working for money and having your money work for you aka financial freedom. It also shapes your mind from the power of investing and how investing can really make good money and a good life. This is a must read and also has full 5 star readings.

3. The Power of Positive Thinking. This book ties in with the other books above. This book truly helps train your brain the power of positive thinking.
