Developing an Entrepreneur Mindset for Success: Essential Habits for Building Motivation and Financial Freedom by Lisa Corbitt

September 18, 2022 Melanie Hawken

Lisa Corbitt

Book Review

If you have ever wondered what it takes to build a successful business, it’s all about Developing an Entrepreneur Mindset for Success, so says author Lisa Corbitt in her new book of the same title. She believes you need to find your Inner Gem, and uncover success from within by designing your ideal life, no matter your age, resources, or experience.


Developing an Entrepreneur Mindset for Success: Essential Habits for Building Motivation and Financial Freedom by Lisa Corbitt is the new book aimed at those who have been sitting on an excellent idea for far too long because they are afraid to fail. Or those who are currently stuck in a valley of self-limiting beliefs and are looking for inspiration to get past their fears and start their own personal entrepreneurship journeys. Or perhaps those who want to launch a successful business this year, but don’t know where to start or have limited capital. Lisa’s new book helps you to uncover the secrets of world-renowned entrepreneurs, and along the way reset your mindset, learn winning strategies, and unleash the power from within. Wondering how to do it?

Don’t worry – you’ll find all the tools, tricks, and tips for a successful entrepreneurship journey right inside.

In Developing an Entrepreneur Mindset for Success, you’ll discover:

  • Personal and business-centered habits that are essential if you want to succeed as a modern entrepreneur – you don’t even need a business degree to start!

  • How to overcome success barriers by getting past limiting fears and beliefs you may have adopted over the years

  • Secrets to developing an eagle’s focus and attracting positive outcomes in your individual and business life

  • How to plan the life you want and design your business around it for an optimal work-life balance

  • Less for More – How to make more money and experience sky-high successes by working fewer hours than you currently do

  • Steps to take when preparing yourself for a fulfilled entrepreneurship lifestyle

  • How to choose the business model that suits your personality, resources, and goals

  • Poor money habits that make most entrepreneurs fail – and what you can do to separate yourself from the pack

  • Business success tips that moguls swear by – explained in simple terms to ensure you are prepared for entrepreneurship

  • How to measure your progress to keep yourself in check and correct mistakes before they get out of hand

Author Quotes

Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to feel like an unreachable goal for the selected few – you can also get there.

Nobody is born a winner – you just have to find the fastest route to the finish line of your goals.

Remember that your life is as good as your mindset, and once you change your perspective, everything on the outside will change as well.

I am a strong believer that all you need is the appropriate mentality to be an entrepreneur.
