Entrepreneurial Mindset Matters for Engineers - The Why, What, & HowDouglas Melton
Mindset matters. Mindset is the collection of attitudes, dispositions, and motivations that are involved in every situation. The world needs engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset.
A brief introduction to the Entrepreneurial Mindset and how it is different from the traditional mindset taught to students of traditional business or management programs. I deliver regular courses based on these concepts, and regularly help aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs to put these principles to use in the process of creating new ventures.
Intrapreneurship: Innovation That No One Talks About
It’s about time we celebrate the entrepreneur! With the death of Steve Jobs, entrepreneurs have become the most admired people of our time even more so than athletes and celebrities. Popular television shows like “Shark Tank” have highlighted this trend as well.
We talk R&D and innovation but rarely do we hear much about the entrepreneurs within our organizations, the intrapreneurs. We’ll explore the inner workings of an intrapreneur, discuss the value these individuals bring to their organizations and share ideas on how you can unleash the intrapreneur within you to help build your personal brand value.

BUILDING NASHVILLE’S ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM
We have established the Nashville Entrepreneur Center as the city’s “Front Door” for
Startup and Entrepreneurial Activity:
- We have launched just over 100 new businesses in 48 months
- They employ over 1,200 people and provide nearly $100M USD in economic impact
4. We have focused our entrepreneurial efforts around the categories that
represent both our large businesses and our investment community
FOCUS | LEVERAGING NASHVILLE’S CORE ASSETS
5. OUR GOAL: To help early stage
entrepreneurs develop their businesses.
6. • Ideas are Cheap | The Best Ones are Worth About $20. Don’t
obsess over the idea.
• Most Entrepreneurial Leaders Were Not the “Idea” Person on the
Team. They are the ones who Do something with ideas.
• Having an Entrepreneurial Mindset is a Learned Behavior - and the
more you practice it, the better you get.
• The Business Model Matters a Lot!
• Execution Matters Even More
• Money Follows GREAT Execution
• The Glue within the Ecosystem is more important than the Entities
MY BIAS
THINGS WE’VE LEARNED | INSIGHTS
8. Think of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem as providing fertile soil and a
climate in which to seed, nurture and grow new businesses.
The enablers…
• Venture Creators
• Mentors & Advisors
• University Partnerships and Programs
• Support Organizations (Legal, Accounting, Technology)
• Labor Markets
• Investors
• Government
• Large Businesses
These are all more effective when they are networked to encourage
intellectual, financial and human capital to flow to enterprises at every
phase of the startup journey.

WHAT HAS HELPED CREATE OUR SUCCESS?
Businesses
Must Be
Engaged
It’s not about the
building – it’s
business helping
startups build
their team, test
business models,
capture market &
raise capital
Seed & Angel
Capital is
Required
Early stage capital
is essential to
create prototypes
and build out
technologies. The
best startups go
to the sources of
capital.
Execution, Not
Ideas Create
Value
Ideas are nice,
but there’s no
market for them.
Transforming an
idea into a
business requires
execution skill.
1. 2. 3.
The Ecosystem
Matters – a
LOT
The combination
of the creative
talent, seasoned
entrepreneurs,
business support,
programmers &
investors – they’re
all essential.
