Rainier Moreno-Lacalle’s Reviews > The Entrepreneurial Mindset: Strategies for Continuously Creating Opportunity in an Age of Uncertainty > Status Update

To be powerful, a business proposition must have three properties: it must be simple, it must be actionable, and it must resonate with those responsible for its execution.

If you don't walk the talk, only dumb people will listen.

Your most important job as an entrepreneurial leader is not to find new opportunities or to identify the critical competitive insights. Your task is to create an organization that does these things for you as a matter of course.

A key aspect of establishing an entrepreneurial mindset is creating the conditions under which everyone involved is energized to look for opportunities to change the current business model. These might include opportunities to redesign existing offerings, to differentiate products in novel and appealing ways, to reshape markets, and to transform the rules of the game by transforming the company's competences.

As a leader, your guidelines are straightforward: People pay attention to what you pay attention to, and to how this links to success and rewards in their careers.

In a world of uncertainty, our guiding philosophy is: Take charge. If nobody knows what the future will hold, your vision of how to navigate it is as good as anyone's The future may as well belong to you.

Once entrepreneurial thinking becomes second nature, you will be able to continuously identify uncertain yet high-potential business opportunities, and exploit these opportunities with speed and confidence. Uncertainty becomes your ally instead of your enemy.
