March Entrepreneurial Mindset of the Month – Resourcefulness
Courtesy of VentureLab
Develop quick and clever ways to overcome challenges. Entrepreneurship is more than starting a business, it’s a way of thinking and doing. These mindsets and skills can be practiced and improved by youth AND adults.
Everyday, people all over the world are resourceful, not just in meeting their basic needs, but in overcoming challenges, solving problems, and creating opportunities for themselves and others. They innovate and create by inventing new things or reimagining what already exists.
Resourcefulness is being able and willing to “do more with less,” finding ingenious solutions to problems based on whatever is available, without becoming discouraged over the lack of resources.
