I am very entrepreneurial but keep getting pulled into corporate world. I tell myself that I am finding companies that value my “entrepreneurial” mindset. A similar mindset is a “growth” mindset. Maybe search for jobs that want a “growth” mindset. You will see that much more often.
What I mean by applying an entrepreneurial mindset in a corporate world is the ability to think creatively and bring innovative ideas to life. Not just settling on status quo. Often with limited or no added resources. This could mean a new approach to marketing, launching a new channel, product positioning to a new segment, finding opportunity gaps in SEO, new verticals, etc.
I am constantly amazed at how companies sort of get complacent and just keep the gears moving but truly lack that “entrepreneurial” mindset to see a new customer need and bring a new initiative to life.
Unfortunately, I don’t see a lot of companies that actually want to hire for that. Some like Google used to encourage intra-praneurship.Most will see you as a flight risk.
Give the “growth mindset” search a try. Might have more luck.
