Can everyone be business minded?

[NurseHub]

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

Absolutely anyone can be a business man but not everyone.
The reason why the world is this versatile is because right from the onset there have always been options and hoping or thinking that everyone can be into business is just like thinking everyone should think alike on a subject matter which I’m sure you already know it’s not possible.

People can not think alike on a particular subject matter and as such, not everyone can be a business man but anyone can be if they set out their minds

I do agree with you, minds varies so decision making varies too, so if one has some kind of weak decision making they will probably not be good in a business. One thing I know is that regardless of education, experience or knowledge one can develop a business as they put their mind into it and have the perception of a business man hence background or body of knowledge doesn't matter for owning a business.

[DiMarxist]

To me I don’t really think being a good businessman is something you have to be born with. Some people might grow up in a family that dose business mostly, but most of it comes down to mindset and learning through experience. And about the risk taking part, it’s not really about having no fear at all. Even successful business people get anxious when taking big a big risk, they have just learned how to deal with that fear instead of letting it stop them. If someone’s naturally anxious, that doesn’t mean business is out of the picture for them. And I will actually say anyone can develop a business mindset over time.

I agree with you that everyone have the dream of owning a business, but I think it wasn't for everyone because I had seen  many cases that many people started business within a short they went off, it's not that they are lazy but they are not ready. Sometimes, what makes some people to run out of business was because of lack of patience and also confidence to bear what comes there way.

They always admired people that are successful in it and they think that those people started it without any stress. Business is all about sacrifice, and that what we don't see in them. I believe we all cannot be business minded persons because it wasn't for everyone.

Well, with myself having experienced failure in building a business, I thought it happened because I wasn't completely ready, because honestly at that time all I thought about was wanting to have a place to gather with friends comfortably and the mistake was that I didn't focus on the business so when the business I was running experienced obstacles or problems I wasn't really ready and was still quite confused about how to deal with it, so the option I chose was to end the business. This is a lesson for me in the future so that I don't do the same thing again. Success is everyone's dream, but not everyone will be successful on the same path (business). There are people who are successful but don't do business, for example by investing or trading or other things.

The thing about education is that we think that it's only about having certificate in western education is what education is about but it's not that way. Anyone can be educated through many ways but exposure is what matters. It's possible that a person can be educated with western certificate and isn't exposed, doing business with such people will be hard where as there other people that will have home education and will understand business than anyone we can think about.

Business is all about the effort you can put into it and the way you can handle the business by the time it becomes tough, even a person with good education can abandoned a business by the time it get tough and another person with the experience and no background education will handle it perfectly.

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?

Nothing is impossible if you're willing to learn to become successful in your chosen field. People with specific characteristics are more likely to succeed because they possess natural talents. Meanwhile, even those with characteristics that we might consider lacking special talents are also likely to succeed in business, as in business, two outcomes ultimately result: profit or loss.

Achieving the final outcome (profit or loss) in business is not as easy as it sounds. To achieve that goal requires a variety of challenges, including the courage to take risks to determine profit or loss, success or failure.

I believe that any mindset can be shaped if the person in question decides to do so. It won't be easy, but there are methods available, books and courses, that help with this transformation of mindset and even habits.

For those who are always anxious, is building a business already out of the picture for them? or do they still have hope?

It's possible to learn to control anxiety, too. If the problem is very serious, you need to seek professional help to help you deal with it. Change requires action from those who want to change. Once again, it won't be easy, but it is possible...

When you have excessive anxiety or a scarcity mindset, your business will stagnate and stagnate. In business, the first thing you must develop is a mindset that allows you to continuously learn and strive to achieve your goals with optimism.

If you have a mindset of fear of scarcity or anxiety, you will unknowingly lack innovation, value, and even miss opportunities. This will hinder your business's growth, leading you to be afraid to take risks because you always feel your resources are limited. For example when you have excessive anxiety, you fear competitors and refuse to hire employees for fear of increased expenses. Ultimately work overload results in a stagnant business. What I mean is, successful businesses aren't those that fear loss, but those that dare to continually create opportunities. Anyone can run a business, but not everyone can have a good business mindset.

It's better to start now, even if it's not perfect, than to wait for perfection and never start. This quote seems appropriate to motivate Gen Z to develop a business mindset. What's needed to start a business is adaptability, reflection, and resilience in the face of uncertainty. I believe Gen Z can apply the principles of learning by doing and practice makes perfect in this fast-paced and distraction-filled era. These two principles are still relevant, and in many cases, they're far more effective than learning theory alone. The principle of learning by doing, with its approach of measuring, evaluating, and repeating, rather than just trying, allows for more controlled learning and trains risk management skills.

Gen Z's ideal mindset is a combination of digital creativity, strategic discipline, and a sustainability orientation. Meanwhile, characteristics that need to be given room for movement include adapting easily to new tools and trends, and preferring purposeful business over profit, as the pursuit of meaning and social impact can sometimes lead to a lack of patience in the long process, making them vulnerable to failure during the grind and consistency phases. What stands out about Gen Z is their high creativity but low tolerance for stagnation, so they need a dynamic and challenging business environment.

By adopting these two principles and using theories from Googling (although mentoring is mandatory in learning), it is hoped that the mindset that failure is fuel for learning, not a reason to quit, will be formed. Dare to fail small to achieve great success. Focus on continuous improvement, not instant results. Discipline Strategic, creative with a clear direction. Courageous, but measurable. Shift the mindset from getting rich quick to sustainable and growing. Willing to use the principle of a cash flow mindset, not just a profit mindset. Hopefully, the mindset that business is not just a tool to make money, but a tool to create value and pass on sustainability (legacy mindset) will be instilled.

I think you're absolutely right about being born into such a family, because that's exactly what happened to Donald Trump. His father was a self-made businessman and raised his children the same way. He instilled in them a spirit of healthy competition, and maybe even a bit too much. Only in such an environment do those who know how to negotiate and always look for the best in everything grow up.

Anyone can be a businessman all it takes is just mindset. Like you mentioned one characteristics of a good businessman is being able to take risk, so it look very difficult for those that are always anxious, but I feel being anxious is just mindset, so if you can change your mindset you can be whatever you want to be. You just need to focus on it and you will be able to do it, so I don't agree that businessman is for a particular set of people. It's possible that some people might do better than others on business,  but that does not take the fact that they can't venture into business.

Only having the will and mindset will not bring success in business. For business success, starting a business with just capital is not enough. In this case, planning and consistency are required. Those who truly have a business mindset first think that business does not mean guaranteed profit, there is risk here and they have the ability to take risks and understand the reality. When starting a business, there may be losses or failures, but the mindset is needed to overcome these losses or failures. And this mindset will be developed mainly through practice. Taking small initiatives, understanding the needs of the market and customers, accepting failures and learning from them and moving forward, gradually a person becomes a true business mindset. There are many who have a business mindset but cannot make logical decisions or are afraid of taking risks, but if they can develop themselves, keep a learning mindset ready, and remain steadfast even in difficult times, then they can also become good entrepreneurs.

Being a business minded person is not something that you are born with or something you inherit from your parents as a biological trait, it is something you grow into over a period of time in your life. Alot of people do see or think being a successful business man is a gift from God or an inherent character imbibe on a child from the parents but the truth is that it is more of tbe mindset, the exposure and how ready or prepared your mind is to learn from the experienced people around you.

Even those who came from business families are not born with it neither did they inherit it biologically. They watched failed practiced and adjusted on several times before they also became strong and successful. Not all sons and daughters that grew up in industrialized homes became industrialists themselves and those who picked from the legacies of their parents are those who learned from their mistakes and got the full support of the family to establish their own businesses too.

Sincerely, everyone cannot do business, no way. Business requires alot of put in, to take out not presently. Business is all building, from your days of beggining, you would be out to build and create a name for yourself. Anyone who is not disciplined may not succeed in the business world. Because there must be a time where you take certain decisions which will keep your business on the flight of slow it down. So business people must be a wise enough to take good decisions to ensure continuity and proper growth.

Everyone can not be a business person, but anyone can be, yea. Anyone can be a business person if you have the mindset of a business man and is ready to grow your business even in a though economy of harsh environments. Business knowledge can also be acquired form school, while some learnt while growing up from family houses. For those who grew up in a business oriented family, And they grew interested and leaner along the line, it now seems like they were born with such gift and zeal to do business. Whichever way, we can actually learn to be business minded if one in really interested.

'can everyone be a businessman ' the answer is No because it takes a lot to be in business and watch it progress each day. Running a business requires a lot of hardwork, consistency, planning, being a risk taker, discipline and this characteristics can't be found in some individuals, have seen cases where people open businesses without proper planning or having a prior knowledge of what there want to go into without wasting time the business crashes to Zero level.

Have friends who on several occasions will tell you bluntly that they can't run a business, that having one or even giving it a thought is not actually for them. For those with hope of having one, they should prepare and plan well, a good business man without proper planning will fail even if you have the resources available and also prepare your mind that business grows with time which requires so much patience and discipline on his/her part.

We have people who's mindset is working 9_6 jobs and that's cool for them, and these set of people can't do well business. One has to be passionate about whatever you're doing else it will feel like you're being pushed to do it and it won't yield any result.

Knowledge is very important in everything we do even business because without the right knowledge, one will not be able to do any credible business and I do guess what you’re trying to refer to is education because even without going to a formal school,  one can be able to start a business and still do very well in it.
One can still get schooled informally and still be very well mannered and cultured and that alone will still give them more edge on business.
There are several things that can make a business successful and one of them is having another source of income to support the business at all times especially when most of your expenses are paid from the business.

Absolutely right, because if you take Donald Trump as an example, he wasn't just born a businessman; he was originally part of a highly competitive family. This is how strong, competitive businessmen are often born, with a strong grasp and the ability to see the win-win equation for everyone. These are typically people who know no pity for themselves or their loved ones, and who have perfected their management and communication skills. And I admit I even envy these people's skills.

A businessman must have a good mindset, we know that not everyone can succeed in business because some people do not have a good mindset. Of course, one of the aspects of a good businessman is that he has to take risks, if he is ready to take it, then he will definitely have hope at some point. When you start a business, you have to put in the maximum and you have to have a good mindset. Your future success will depend on your patience and experience, so you have to plan well in advance before starting a business, but you will have hope for the future.

At one time, I took a loan from the bank for business purposes and instead of a job, I started the oil business. Although the number of buyers was not much in the beginning it gradually increased. But after a few months, I noticed that the number of buyers I knew was decreasing. I investigated the reason for this and found that another businessman of my same level was selling at a lower price than the market price for more sales, as a result buyers were increasing their purchases from his company. The selling price was very slightly higher than the purchase price and the profit was not that much. After a few more months I got involved in another business.

If you are not aware of business strategies, then most of the time your new business will be in loss for you. There will be many adversities in the beginning of the business so your main objective should be to gain experience in the beginning. Most of the businessmen cannot be in a profitable position in the beginning of the business. By gradually gaining experience and through patience he can become a successful businessman. It is better for people who have very low patience and cannot tolerate losing capital not to enter the trading platform.

It's essential to carefully calculate risk and proceed with a well-planned approach. Taking a certain level of risk can be advantageous in some situations, and this advantage can lead to good returns for the business. A good plan can lead to good progress, so it's essential to have a solid plan before starting your business.

This should not be all that complicated for a ton of people, that is why we are going to see this become a thing that will change for everyone. Realize that it's going to be a good thing if we could learn how a business is run though, because even if you are a worker for someone, if you know ins and outs of a business and how it's run and every part of it, like literally be capable of running it yourself, but do not start it, just be someone's worker, then that skill ends up being a great as an employee and should be very profitable for us.

You will not only get promotions, but also start earning more. Most workers only know what they are suppose to do, so knowing every part would give you a competitive edge over others.
