A strong mindset allows entrepreneurs to navigate challenges and maximize their skills effectively. The author, Gabriela Taylor, highlights the need for a balance between the two for achieving business goals.

as a Small Business Owner?
Gabriela Taylor

2. Being an entrepreneur can be
extremely fulfilling

3. It’s the business owner that sets the
direction for success or failure

4. Skillset vs. Mindset

5. What is a SKILLSET?

6. SKILLS can be defined as social, technical, and
digital tools used by professionals to increase
effectiveness in the workforce

7. Skills will ultimately lead to one goal –
success in the money making sphere

8. What is a MINDSET?

9. The MINDSET refers to the world view of an
individual or to the manner in which they
perceive life and the attitude that they have
towards it

10. Unlike skills, a mindset cannot really be
acquired while sitting in a classroom

11. Mindset

Skillset

12. A BUSINESS
OWNER needs to
know how to lead
the business and
its employees
towards success.
The MINDSET is
something that can
help you even if you
don’t have the required
tool in hand. The
mindset is what helps
you reach your goal by
working with what you
have.
Imagine your
SKILLSETS as a tool
box. Each skill you’ve
acquired can be used
in a particular
situation.

13. Finding the PERFECT BALANCE

14. Skillsets are required on entry. Once you have
the ultimate ‘resume’ in your hands, it’s time
to put your mindset into action and implement
those skills that you worked so hard to
acquire
