1) Yes we can! Mindset 2) Problem first, not product. 3) Think narrow, not broad. 4) Ask for cash, ride the float. 5) Beg, borrow (but never steal) 6) Instead of asking permission, ask for forgiveness.
❤
The last one is stealing and forgiveness 😂😂
@@YISHRAELi break the rules, oh yeah
Thanks bro
thank youuu🤣
Be the person who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose understanding. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you-to heal instead of becoming bitter so you can act from your heart, not your pain.
Great words mate
Amazing words. Time to turnt up
This solved my problem which was killing me since 17 months i heartfully thank you 🙏🏽
wow,,,thanks
Wow! So simplified. I had stuck on some project. I'm going to use it for my next meeting with my startup partners. Thanks John and TED.
You are truly amazing John. You compiled them shortly and briefly. Million thanks and will keep them, improve them, and continue learning.
Once you decide you're not going to allow your fears and insecurities control your life, you are free to try do anything you want with it. Walk towards your dreams.
“Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something." -Morihei Ueshiba❤
Repeating to Fail too many times, that's insanity. - somethings we can not afford to fail at like climate change or sustainable energy. -me
Trying is not failing. Failing to try is why we are where we are with climate. And the Fossil-fuel-funded-fascist Right blocks every attempt.
There's no way that a single event could define our entire life. We're just humans making our way in the world. Trying to be better. Trying to make it better.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
Thanks to Mr Lenardfx
His a licensed broker here in the states
I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony on CNBC news last week.
Alright thanks for the recommendation, but how do I reach him?
This was absolutely refreshing . 🧡🇳🇬🌎
We are mistaken if we have a lifestyle guided by either/or logic. We think either we must conquer the challenge before us or we will be failures. We think either our loved ones must meet our needs or they do not love us. We think either we must be perfect or we are unacceptable. Often life’s answers exist in the in-betweens.
This is a great video. The list is short and the examples really helpful to explain the concept. Thank you!
Thank you Pr. Mullins !
More videos like this is really needed
This was helpful thank you:) ❤
A million thanks for this good presentation, M. John.
00:00 🚀 Lynda Weinman's entrepreneurial journey illustrates counterconventional mindsets in entrepreneurship. 02:00 💡 "Yes, we can" mindset encourages entrepreneurs to embrace opportunities beyond their core competencies. 04:09 🎯 Entrepreneurs prioritize solving problems over focusing solely on product innovation. 07:10 🎯 Focusing on a narrow target market, as exemplified by Nike's early strategy, can lead to significant success. 09:59 💰 Entrepreneurs like Elon Musk prioritize cash flow and leverage it to drive innovation and growth. 11:10 🌳 Entrepreneurs like Tristram and Rebecca Mayhew demonstrate the effectiveness of borrowing resources and negotiating innovative partnerships. 13:36 🛠 Entrepreneurs often bypass seeking permission and instead focus on execution to drive innovation forward.
O vídeo "6 Tips on Being a Successful Entrepreneur" de John Mullins no TED fala sobre os seis mindsets contraintuitivos que empreendedores de sucesso possuem, usando histórias de empreendedores reais para ilustrar cada ponto. Aqui está um resumo dos principais pontos: 2:00 "Yes, We Can": Contrariando a sabedoria convencional de focar apenas em competências centrais, Mullins destaca a importância de adotar desafios fora da zona de conforto, ilustrado pela história de um empreendedor brasileiro que expandiu sua empresa para novos domínios tecnológicos. 4:07 Foco no Problema, Não no Produto: Mullins argumenta que empreendedores de sucesso identificam e resolvem problemas reais ao invés de se concentrarem em produtos, exemplificado por um empreendedor que desenvolveu uma liga metálica especial para evitar que pinças cirúrgicas grudassem em tecidos humanos. 6:42 Pensar de Forma Estreita, Não Ampla: A sabedoria convencional sugere mirar em mercados grandes, mas Mullins ressalta o valor de focar em nichos específicos. Ele usa a fundação da Nike, que inicialmente se focou em criar calçados melhores para corredores de longa distância, como exemplo. 8:50 Pedir Dinheiro e Utilizar o Fluxo de Caixa: Destacando a importância do fluxo de caixa para empreendedores, Mullins fala sobre como a Tesla arrecadou fundos vendendo carros antecipadamente, um contraste com a abundância de caixa em grandes empresas. 11:08 Emprestar, Pegar Emprestado, Mas Não Roubar: A história de "Go Ape", um negócio de aventuras em copas de árvores no Reino Unido, ilustra como empreendedores podem utilizar recursos existentes (neste caso, árvores de terras públicas) para construir seus negócios sem necessidade de grandes investimentos iniciais. 13:04 Agir Sem Pedir Permissão: Mullins discute como empreendedores, como os fundadores da Uber, muitas vezes avançam sem buscar aprovação prévia, uma abordagem que pode ser crucial quando as regulamentações existentes não contemplam novas ideias ou modelos de negócios. Mullins encerra desafiando os ouvintes a identificar quais desses mindsets já possuem, quais podem aprender e como aplicá-los para superar desafios e transformar ideias em realidades bem-sucedidas.
Thank you Sir❤
Sometimes people don't quit because of anything happening at work. They quit because of things happening in their personal lives.
Absolutely awesome tips 👍🏼
Impressed by the part of Selling first and producing later.
Spot on sir, fantastic information shared! 😎👌
If you read the comments here only see negativity, just remember why you are here: to be rich, not to be right.
It is helpful, thank you John.
I am not a business person whatsoever, but I found this very interesting to watch
Thats why its important to listen and observe, so that the problems of the world can become clear to you.
Thank you Mr John
"The humane thread that binds people who are required or compelled to pay attention to people who are obliged by circumstance or prefer by disposition to let the always-cacophonous parade go by, is hope." - Andrew Mitrovica 🇨🇦
Unique information Entrepreneurs looks at problem amd look solution for it before launching products and they cut off upcoming challenge 💯💯💯💯💯
Inspiring

Entrepreneur 💎
This contains gem
Always think I can do it ..Change your mindset can change each and everything in your surroundings. Think narrow not board in business mean focused on your target audience. Look at the cash flow and investment. Never cheat.
Amazing!!
"I never once thought of myself as a battered wife. Instead, I was a very strong woman in love with a deeply troubled man." *-TED*
You are amazing John! Thank you for the insights. 😃
❤ I believe this is the greatest gift we can give each other as human beings, this sacred field of unconditional friendship where we allow each other to be imperfect. It is the space in which we give up trying to fix each other and instead listen with our entire being. It is the space in which true relaxation can happen, where the frazzled nervous system can breathe a sigh of relief… -Matt Licata❤️
Whatsapp is another example of a really disruptive enterprise. If they have asked for permission, they would have got a resounding no. Excellent talk 👍
this is a great video for an aspiring entrepreneur like me
Indeed same hehehe
thanks.
Kindness is a magical spell performed by enlightened beings meant to enchant hearts and lift weary souls that they might fly💸 -Richelle E. Goodrich
The Tesla model he describes is just Kickstarter or Indigogo
Fantastic
Is very nice points
Thank you! This is amazing!
Informative and inspiring talk! The "Ask for the Cash, Ride the Float" mindset, along with the Elon Musk & Tesla example, resonates the most with me. Just important to get paid as early as possible as an entrepreneur. I took detailed video notes✍on this video on my website in case you are interested.
Justify success by success. One needs to make a living but please try something beyond survival bias
It's a logical fallacy to believe some one off success story constitutes a rule. It doesn't. What worked once for someone may not work for you. You can only invent a bulb once.
Awesome
That last tip really makes big money for AI companies for stealing
I approve this message.
Believe in your ideas and follow them and you will achieve your goals.
Theory is very easy but practical is way harder then theory lectures
🥰
you now that is something impressive rather than other ted talks
When is it over this video take long To sum up one word 🤣🤣 in a phrase or sentence lol to simplified format we get! One hour crammed into 1-2 minutes😱
The last tip I think is partially incorrect. 14:31 I mean... thinking ethically. Uber has done many bad things, and I think sexual misconduct is a terrible example. Think big, but better.
🙏
I don't want to think like an entrepreneur, there should be none
👏👏👏👏
This guy has the Coca-Cola story all wrong. It was a problem first scenario. It actually worked out brilliantly for the company, the market and the public. I’m surprised a businessman of his longevity hasn’t read or understood the classic “Doing Business Boldly: The Art Of The Intelligent Risk.”
Care,, but it gets a lil easssier
Let's change the world together to be a better place, or we will just die out. AI is not the answer - believe me.
More money, more power, more to consume, more more more, I want it all!
😢
👍🏻
👍👍
Tips 8: Have Emotional Intelligence.
Ok, so for those few success stories, how many were there that did the same and failed because of that?
hasta qué punto decir: "yes, we can" sin perder el enfoque del negocio. ?
These questions are worth asking yourself, based on the seven mindsets shared here: 1) Which of these mindsets are embodied in you? 2) Which others can you learn? 3) Which can you teach to those with whom you work? 4) Is there one that you can apply to a challenge you're facing today?

Im here for learn to english language.😅
John Mullins really hits the nail on the head about challenging conventional wisdom. For entrepreneurs, remember that timing your market entry during a 'trigger event' can drastically increase your chances of success, as it creates immediate demand for your solution. Plus, leveraging existing platforms can give you a head start instead of building from scratch.
Awesome video. Thank you 😊
The most Ted talk Ted talk ever
His name's John.
JESUS LOVES YOU ALL ❤
did anyone else not get the point
Yeaah ,me😂
Bad lecture
You're not alone. This was probably the least informative TED talk I have ever watched. It sounds like he took some notes and forgot to convert said notes into a palatable lecture.
You need to listen more closely young man if you want to make something of yourself. The point is entrepreneurs think outside of traditional business reasoning which allows them to achieve success and disrupt major industries. Each of the 6 tips supports this point.
It's a perspective problem you either have not heard a lot of lectures or you have one thought process of how you attain knowledge. Everyone teaches differently throughout the world. Try to expand your perspectives more, and you will understand.
No connection between the title of the talk and it’s content
Here’s a tip for giving a red talk: don’t put your audience to sleep within the first 60 seconds
Let's be calling tip six what it is: private profit from public funding. Yikes. Cringe.
Did this guy ever run a business? 😅😅
You lost me at Elon Musk.
This presentation is loaded with survivorship bias… and contradictions.
DEMOCRATS need help to defeat TRUMPISM, now! Can anyone out there suggest messaging and strategies to trump TRUMPISM? ================================================================= TNX
Yaaas
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 When we see our brothers in Gaza dying, we cannot change the world or dream at all. We must help them, even by praying.
That interview was a complete gaslighting exercise...
Lol, what? Please explain.
FREE Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Enough that world silent. All the world see the tru ,but they are lying.
I clicked because i thought he look cute 😍
Chỉ thấy ông Hoàng Việt nói đúng, còn ông kia toàn tào lao, hoàn toàn k có 1 chút kiến thức đủ sâu về vđề này

🎉ض

In the video, John Mullins discusses six unconventional mindsets that entrepreneurs can adopt to succeed in business: 1. "Yes, we can": Embracing opportunities outside of core competencies, even if they seem unrelated, can lead to innovative solutions and business growth. 2. "Problem-first, not product-first logic": Focusing on solving problems rather than developing products can lead to more impactful and successful ventures. 3. "Think narrow, not broad": Narrowly targeting specific market segments with tailored solutions can lead to more effective marketing and higher customer satisfaction. 4. "Asking for the cash, and riding the float": Prioritizing cash flow and finding creative ways to finance ventures can lead to financial stability and growth. 5. "Beg, borrow, but please, please don’t steal": Being resourceful in acquiring necessary assets and resources, even if it means borrowing or partnering with others, can lead to successful ventures. 6. "Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness": Taking calculated risks and forging ahead without seeking permission can lead to breakthrough innovations and competitive advantages. Mullins uses examples from successful entrepreneurs like Arnold Correia, Jonathan Thorne, Philip Knight, Bill Bowerman, Elon Musk, Tristram Mayhew, and Rebecca Mayhew to illustrate each mindset. He encourages viewers to embrace these unconventional approaches to entrepreneurship to overcome challenges and achieve success in their ventures.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
