Can everyone be business minded?

[peter0425]

People talk about specific characteristics that makes a person fit for being a businessman but my question is, can everyone be a good businessman? Can everyone turn their mindset to one that is always business minded?

One of the characteristics of a good businessman is being able to take risks. For those who are always anxious, is building a business already out of the picture for them? or do they still have hope?

Anyone can be a businessman but not everyone can be a business man... identify the difference, it's not so difficult to buy and sell but it's more difficult to the other part of the business that requires discipline, visionary mindset, thinking and ability to take risk as you mentioned, etc

Yet some people are business guru not because they know it but because they have capacity (capital) and only have few characteristics of a businessman yet are so successful in business because they employ businessmen and women who have/has the complete characteristics of a business person to run and do all the job while they seat as the head of affairs and control every part of the business, (yet all this are only on the basics of a person have someone who already has the opportunity and handed it over to them).

It’s easy to say that you can be a business-minded especially if you want to make your business works, but the problem is if you can stand on it throughout your business existence. Because majority are actually eager to start building a business, but when tough and difficult times start to arise, that’s when we can tell who’s certainly the business-minded and who’s are just good pretenders.

No business makes an instant success, it requires a lot of hardwork, efforts and discipline to make it work and prosper. And only few can stand on it, while others are just good at the start and eventually lost their momentum while the business is still working for its own progress.

I think so. I think those who are not able to do business will not be able to do it. These are some of the reasons that I'm of such view:

Laziness: This is part of the characteristics of business mind. If you are lazy then you won't be able to do business because you have to be active, "alive" and able to have that action that suites the kind of business you do. At least, with the physical kind of business, If you are a lazy person you won't be able to keep up with the challenges of being punctual, discipline etc

Risk taking: If you fear to take risk then business is not for you, you need to settle with 8-5 jobs. A business person has the mind to take risk. Like investing in bitcoin, some people still procrastinate over it while others cash out at every bear to bull season.

Patience: A business person has that patience to nurture their business to grow. In everything we do, patience is a virtue. If you don't utilize the gift of patience some times then you can reconsider not doing business.

All are already business-minded. They are simply executing different optimization functions. The parent calculating childcare costs against career opportunities is doing business analysis. The anxious individual simulating disaster scenarios is performing risk modeling. We have now determined that only one type of thinking qualifies as real business thinking, and by a coincidence that happens to be the one that is easily scalable with venture capital

The myth of risk-taking must die. Risk mitigation, rather than risk embrace, is most likely to lead to business success. The anxious founder who builds redundancy, maintains cash reserves, and does not bet the company on heroic pivots? They survive recessions. The visionary who does it in full is relatively sure to quietly go broke, and we all hear about the one who did not

What you are really asking is: can I succeed without becoming someone I do not recognize? And that all depends on whether you have the disposition to construct more slowly, and smaller, and not within the stories that get told. The infrastructure exists. It is just not on TechCrunch. Most of the real economy is made by boring businesses run by cautious people. They simply do not produce mythology, therefore we pretend they do not exist

[Hazink]

It's all up to anyone to train themselves to be a risk-taker, but not all will do it in the aspect of running a business. There are even other things that involve taking greater risks than just going into business. In business, if you calculate the risk involved, and it's higher than the chance of the business surviving it's not a safe ground to kick-start such business

[SamReomo]

but my question is, can everyone be a good businessman?

The answer to your question is no, because most people aren't disciplined and they don't know how to do business.

In order to own or operate a business one has to have some understanding of principles of business management and finance management.

Someone with poor business vision will spend more money than what he/she earns and thus such a person isn't a suitable person for a business.

[Stalker22]

For an anxious person, I believe the worst part isnt losing money; its the emotional hit from failing.

Someone who takes risks easily usually bounces back from a big mistake and start again.  But if you stress a lot, just thinking about messing up, disappointing others, losing what you have, and confirming your fears can freeze you up.  Its not that they cant handle the business stuff; its that they cant stand the constant stress. 

So, can they still build a business?  Yes, absolutely, but they have to be smart and change the rules of the game.  They dont need to become some crazy, in-your-face risk-taker to be successful.  They just gotta build a steady, smaller biz that vibes with who they are, instead of fighting it.

Not everyone can do business because business is not for everyone. Business requires a form of acumen, and not everyone has that attribute. Some people will excel better in a work environment as staff of a company than managing their own business. This is why before starting up a business, you have to be certain that it is something that you can do, don't fool yourself going to start up a business because others around you are doing so.

One of the characteristics of a good businessman is being able to take risks.

I think you may be mistaking a business person with an entrepreneur. There is less risk in business compared to entrepreneurship that may involve you being innovative, starting something or providing a service that is new.

[Miles2006]

Thinking positive when it comes to business as stated business minded doesn’t mean the person is 100% perfect in terms of handling business. Risk is included but, not just risk rather can a person be able to face the journey without failing, different factors can contribute to why a person doesn’t want to own a business.
As the topic imply, everyone is definitely business minded, the moment income is involve such person is seen as business minded, the basic answer not everyone can keep up with the act so it’s better they avoid the risk and stress that comes with creating a business.

If only every means or opportunities that generates money for everyone is part of the businesses you mean if everyone has productive minds, I will say YES, everyone can actually have that making money ideals but if we talk strictly on legitimacy and entrepreneurship that may requires logical reasoning or energies to achieve the goal, then I will say NO because not everyone are capable of taking the risks nor have the mental capacity to be think creative while everyone do still want to make money. It all depends the nature of the business though.

Some don't just want to be mentally or physically stressed instead they would prefer settling for less with no urge of maximizing their portfolios or savings. So they becomes adamant to think creatively on how to develop resourceful business mindsets.

Everyone is not supposed to have a business because not everyone has the ability to manage risk or make solid decisions that make profit. The best case to sharpen the mind and become more business attuned is to take a business class, make a few friends who are into business real time and are ready to mentor you and also to know if you have a flare for it. Other wise, it is better to stick to working for a boss or a company or doing freelance services for health sake.

If I were to answer your question, I would definitely say that not everyone has a business mindset. There are some people who really have a business mindset, but there are some people who don't have a business mindset. To do business, one must have the mindset to take risks and must acquire certain qualities with which one can run the business. A businessman must have patience and he must have all the ability to control his emotions and passions. When doing business, there will be losses and he must have the mentality to accept those losses, only then can a person establish a business. Now think about how many people have such qualities.

Everyone can not be a good business minded man or woman. Being a business minded person is just like an inborn character of having passion for something and always abiding by it. Or being self minded or self decipline. Those that don't have this character of a business person do not often make it in business.

Can everyone turn their mindset to one that is always business minded?

Not everyone that can turn their mindset to a business minded person. A business minded person is like a person who has a good character right from birth, and a person that wants to turn into a business minded person is like that person that want to learn how to be good person when he was not originaly a good person from birth. So it's a matter of working on ones self to be good from bad, which means it may or may not be possible but depends on self decipline and self decision.

Everyone have anxiety and I'm sure even the most successful businessman are anxious about their business sometime.

Honestly man if you want to find out whether you're good at business or not, just take the risk and start, if you fail at least you know whether you can be successful businessman or not.

I know not all people are comfortable with business and some are grateful being an employee but maybe just try once and figure out.

Of course, anyone can become an entrepreneur, as long as they have the will to learn and adapt. Business isn't just about salesmanship, but more about self-development. Isn't it easy for everyone to change their mindset to be oriented or think about other businesses? If you're blessed with sufficient capital, you can build everything you envision and make it a reality.

If you want to improve your life and financial progress, there's no other way than to fight. Anxiety is common if your business encounters even minor problems, such as sales or declining turnover. Feelings of despair or impossibility often make it difficult for people to regain their capital, which can sometimes lead to losing hope of maintaining or reopening a business.

Of course, anyone can experience anxiety when running a business, working, or anything else. And anyone can start a business and try it, just like in any other field, which all carries risks. We can't find the right fit and comfort to run. If the business isn't a good fit for us, no matter how hard we try and work, the results won't be good or satisfying. So, anyone can run a business or any field, but fit and comfort are far more important than anything else in producing good results and success.

Yes, they can change their mindset but that is only if they want. Without having the will to change their mindset, that can not be done. They will just go back to them before without having a chance to change better.

If they want to be a good businessman, they must learn step by step and not give up. Those who are always anxious need to solve this problem first before they take the next step. Being a businessman is not easy so they need to release their anxiety and do what they learn. They still have hope if they want to start a business.

Of course, not everyone can be a good businessman. Too many people are bad at business. Lots of businesses fail every day, which proves again that too many people are bad businessmen. I would say that even too many rich businessmen are actually bad at business but they are somehow lucky. I'm into UI/UX design and I've been in touch with many businessmen, who want to build a web or mobile app for their business. Too many of them are uneducated and I would say, stupid, but they have an infinite amount of money, can take lots of risks and also sometimes hire talented people, who run their businesses successfully.

Probably because of the social media starting a business is just the thing that you need to start to when you want to be a millionaire or something I really thing that everyone can be a businessman if you just put everything on it and never give up, I mean almost everyone these days are already entrepreneur, and I thing everyone should be since selling something, starting your own company, sales is just the way in order to multiple your money.

There are always things to learn, and when it comes to business there are a lot of things as well that you need to learn or experience in order to do run it, and still even having experience and knowledge doesn't mean your going to be successful, meaning it include luck as well, and of course it still depend on you, I've seen a lot of people losing there business but not giving up starting all over again, probably 5 business until they hit the jackpot on there business and become billionaire.

I would say yes everyone can be a business minded and become a entrepreneur it is just a matter of mindset, are you optimistic? and you willing to do what it takes etc.
