Cultivating an Entrepreneurial Mindset

Publication: Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research
19 August 2013

Abstract

Now as never before, familiar challenges require bold, novel approaches. Registered dietitians will benefit by cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset that involves being comfortable with uncertainty, learning to take calculated risks, and daring to just try it. An entrepreneur is someone who takes risks to create something new, usually in business. But the entrepreneurial mindset is available to anyone prepared to rely only on their own abilities for their economic security and expect no opportunity without first creating value for others.

Résumé

Maintenant comme jamais auparavant, les défis courants requièrent des approches audacieuses et novatrices. Les diététistes gagneront à cultiver un esprit d’entrepreneuriat, qui suppose être à l’aise avec l’incertitude, apprendre à prendre des risques calculés et oser essayer. Un entrepreneur est une personne qui prend des risques afin de créer quelque chose de nouveau, généralement dans le secteur des affaires. Toutefois, l’esprit d’entrepreneuriat est accessible à toute personne prête à se fier à ses propres capacités pour assurer sa sécurité financière et à ne pas s’attendre à obtenir du rendement sans d’abord créer de la valeur pour les autres.
