Why Our World Needs More Entrepreneurial Mindsets

The extraordinary success of startups like Facebook have taught entrepreneurs and business enthusiasts not to take any opportunity for granted. Facebook came from a humble ground, engineered by a small collective of college students. Their breakout success was one that most wouldn’t have expected. 

Today, Facebook is dubbed as “the pioneer of modern social media,” having changed the way we go about social networking. It’s an obvious inference that investors who passed on Facebook regret it. Most speculation likely wrote the idea off as an unrealistic fantasy being pursued by some college kids. Surprisingly, this kind of pessimism has been repressed and changed how people look at “dormitory ideas” like that of Facebook. The unprecedented successes of many humble-grown businesses have taught us that your breakthrough is not determined by where you started but how committed and unwavering you’re willing to go to honor your mission statement. 

We’ve entered an era where machines adopting some sort of human intelligence is no longer fiction or fantasy. Today, Artificial intelligence is a reality. Machines are constantly engineered to have knowledge that surpasses their ‘creators.’ The growing trend of AI has attracted both negative and positive sentiments all over the world. 

Nevertheless, this new trend of Artificial intelligence, in its early stages, presents more entrepreneurial opportunities, increasing our curiosity to expand on the possibility. 

As the ideas continue to evolve, the present is a great time to prepare and actively grab an opportunity that Artificial intelligence presents. Your idea or entrepreneurial enthusiasm could be “the next big Facebook of the future.” While it may seem foolish, it’s not wrong to have a big dream mindset. If the world didn’t have ambitious people, willing to dream big and grab opportunities whenever they arose, we wouldn’t have the iPhone you love, that TikTok you madly use, that Facebook or Instagram you use to build a community of friends, and many more.

Everything sophisticated we use today originated from one’s dream or idea that they transformed it into reality to impact our world. If you fear to turn your dream into meaningful actions, ask yourself, how would our lives look like if we lived in a world where there is no car, no smartphone, no internet, no computer, no airplane or no electricity? The dreamers are the doers, the ones with the courage to persevere an idea when the entire world tells them no. 

All of the incredible innovations that we rave about were spearheaded by ambitious people who never allowed negative energy and pessimism to win over them. In conclusion, don’t be afraid to try and go after your dreams. In order for the world to progress, we need dreamers. If the outside world looks upon your ideas in a negative light, remember the mindset of that group of college kids.
