McKenzie Holland Outline 3 Signs You Were Born an Entrepreneur

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, March 13, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At McKenzie Holland they believe that entrepreneurs are a special breed, born with a unique drive and hunger to succeed that most of humanity lacks, but they also suggest that this desire can be invoked through education, experience and mentorship. Entrepreneurs are opportunists; they create a vision, develop an action plan and get to work - however, many of the qualities that combine to create an entrepreneurial mindset are not always viewed as positive attributes, particularly during childhood, adolescence and while in formal education (Huffington Post, 2016).

However, McKenzie Holland believes that these are early signals that demonstrates a self-starter attitude, and someone who may desire to pursue a career path outside the traditional corporate system. These traits emerge in a person's character at an early stage, and McKenzie Holland argues that many entrepreneurs would be able to identify with these behaviours from when they were youngsters.

Here, McKenzie Holland identify 3 of the most common signs that indicates a potential for an entrepreneurial mentality:

1. The disregard and questioning of authority.

McKenzie Holland states that having an entrepreneurial mindset often results in questioning 'why', showing a clear, headstrong distaste with current systems or rules and regulations, and always being on the look out for alternative solutions. However, the firm suggests that these qualities are far from ideal for those around them, and do not rest easy with others in positions of authority. This is why entrepreneurs in the making often find themselves dropping out of school, frequently in trouble with teachers, or frustrated by the seeming lack of imagination within traditional education structures (Huffington Post, 2016).

2. The appetite for risk.

It may not be something admitted freely by CEOs of large companies, but among founders there is a strong appetite for risk, and this does not necessarily fall on the side of society's rules. Entrepreneurs are usually pragmatic risk takers who have a blind belief that they will find a way to make things work - probably for the best as they are not always the most gracious of losers! McKenzie Holland argues that many people would not be able to take the first step towards exactly what it would take to become successful, which is way it is often called a 'leap of faith' because the jump is from safety into the abyss, with only blind faith acting as a safety net.

3. The belief in alternative paths to success

McKenzie Holland believes that entrepreneurs tend not to be as devoted to consensus decision-making as other business professionals, and they violate the status quo more often than not. The firm contends that the 'anything is possible' mentality is a key quality that sets an entrepreneurial aside from others. Where many have a need to find coherence with reality, rules and set behaviour, entrepreneurs are comfortable asking the 'what if?' questions (Huffington Post, 2016).

McKenzie Holland believes that the clearest indicator of an entrepreneurial mentality is the ability for creative problem solving, combined with an aptitude to disregard commonly held beliefs. The constant search for higher ground means that entrepreneurs become trailblazers by creating new verticals and disrupting long established industries (Huffington Post, 2016).

However, not all entrepreneurs are 'born' with such qualities. McKenzie Holland are confident that entrepreneurship can also be taught, and entrepreneurs can be made. The firm argues that it is possible to teach yourself to have most entrepreneurial qualities and the skills needed to maintain a successful attitude, there just needs to be a willingness and determination present to work alongside it.
