 Entrepreneurial success is less about a list of traits and more about focusing on the present. Mindfulness, specifically knowing what you are doing and why you are doing it, brings out the best in what are often thought of as “entrepreneurial traits.”

 Understanding the benefits of achieving a state of flow and working toward this condition on a regular basis will improve your feeling of fulfillment along with increasing your productivity and learning capacity.

 There is no question that starting a new venture requires hard work but allowing work life to overtake home and personal life can have very detrimental effects, not only on your feelings of personal fulfillment, but on the success of your venture as well.

 Mindful, self-aware living culminates in leading a self-actualized life. A self-actualized life is defined by an appreciation for life and guided by a set of inner goals and values. This, more than anything else, is the best definition of the “entrepreneurial mindset.” It is marked by creativity, authenticity, and a desire for continuous improvement.
