You Don’t Need a Business to Think Like a Boss

“Money flows to those who create value.”
- Bill Harris

Issue #445 – October 14, 2024

One of the biggest myths out there is that you have to run a business to think like an entrepreneur. That you need a big title, a fancy office, or a five-year plan before you can lead yourself with confidence and purpose.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In this week's Mind Power essay, Centerpointe Marketing Manager Kim Eggstaff shares a powerful reminder: 

You don’t need a business to think like a boss. 

You just need the right mindset—a mindset that welcomes growth, embraces challenges, and moves forward even when things don’t go perfectly.

Kim’s message is an important one, especially as we step into new opportunities here at Centerpointe. (And if you’re curious about how you can share what you love and grow personally and professionally, make sure you read all the way to the end.)

You Don’t Need a Business to Think Like a Boss

By Kim Eggstaff

“Becoming is better than being.” That little gem comes from psychologist Carol Dweck, who coined the term “growth mindset” after studying why some people thrive through challenges while others get stuck. 

In short, it’s the belief that you can build your abilities over time. You don’t have to be born brilliant. You just have to be willing to show up, learn, and try again.

It’s the kind of thinking that Olympic athletes, Silicon Valley founders, and... your cousin who turned sourdough starters into a full-blown lifestyle brand all swear by. 

But here’s the real kicker: you don’t need to be launching a business to benefit from this mindset. You don’t have to build the next tech empire. 

Thinking like an entrepreneur starts wherever you are, even if that’s just sharing something you believe in.

Verywell Mind, a trusted mental health and wellness resource, explains it like this: 

"A growth mindset helps people reframe challenges and setbacks as opportunities to grow, rather than as failures to avoid."

That kind of mental shift builds resilience, confidence, and adaptability. And that’s just as helpful whether you’re leading a company or just trying to get through Monday.

So, how do you start thinking like a boss, without the pressure of running an empire? Here are three ways to bring this mindset into your daily life.

1. Think Long-Term, Act Small

Entrepreneurs are vision people. They dream big, but they build with what they’ve got. Sometimes that’s just a laptop and a wild idea.

You don’t have to reinvent your life overnight. You just need to start somewhere on purpose. That might mean making a plan to pay off a credit card. Or showing up to a morning walk because Future You wants to feel strong and clear-headed. Or maybe it’s signing up to share a product you genuinely love, just to see where it leads.

That’s exactly how Centerpointe got started. Our founder, the late Bill Harris, launched the company from his kitchen table with a bold idea and a willingness to figure things out along the way.

He used to joke that the only reason Centerpointe worked at all was because he pretended it was already a giant company. Bill said, "In the beginning, I was playing the role of CEO, customer service rep, life coach, and mail room clerk, all at once. I just did whatever needed to be done."

He called himself a magician, not because he had all the answers, but because he knew how to manifest something out of seemingly nothing when it came to success.

You don’t need a business plan to think like Bill did. Just one clear intention. One habit. One brave little yes. Then keep going.

2. Fail Smarter, Not Harder

Here’s the truth: people with a growth mindset don’t see failure as the end of the story. They see it as part of the process. 

Entrepreneurs expect things to go sideways sometimes. The trick is, they don’t let it stop them. They learn, adjust, and keep moving.

You don’t have to run a business to build that kind of resilience. Think about a time when something didn’t go your way. A conversation that tanked. A project that fizzled. A habit that didn’t stick. 

What if, instead of calling it a failure, you treated it like information? A clue. A little bit of feedback you can use next time.

It’s easy to get stuck in perfection mode. But growth doesn’t happen under perfect conditions. It happens when you mess up and decide to try again anyway. 

That’s where confidence comes from. Not from getting everything right, but from knowing you can keep going even when you don’t.

Next time something doesn’t work out, try this: pause, name what you learned, and take one small step forward. That’s how you fail smarter. That’s how you grow.

3. Make Your Mind Your HQ

Entrepreneurs have to rely on their inner world. When things get messy, uncertain, or downright chaotic, they don’t wait for permission. They check in, trust their gut, and make the next best move they can. 

That kind of inner leadership isn’t just for business. It’s for anyone who wants to stop living on autopilot and start making intentional choices.

You can build this muscle. Start by noticing your self-talk. Are you hyping yourself up or tearing yourself down? Are you stuck looping on fear, or are you asking what’s possible? 

Entrepreneurs aren’t fearless. They just know how to get their mindset back on track when fear shows up. That’s a skill worth having, no matter your path.

Making your mind your headquarters means learning to trust your voice. It means getting quiet enough to hear what you actually want and choosing what to do with that insight. Whether you're starting a new chapter, taking a risk, or just trying to stick to your goals, your mindset is your most powerful tool.

When you think like a boss, you don’t wait for the stars to align. You learn to lead yourself, right where you are.

You Don’t Need a Business to Grow Like One

A growth mindset means you know your abilities aren’t fixed. You can stretch. You can try, mess up, learn, and grow. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being open. You don’t need to chase investors or have a five-year plan to lead yourself with intention. A growth mindset is for anyone who wants to get better at being themselves, not all at once, but one step at a time.

So try this: 

Choose one small shift. 

Maybe it’s acting on an idea instead of overthinking it. Or being kinder to yourself when things don’t go perfectly. Maybe it’s simply showing up for something you believe in. Notice what shifts when you give yourself permission to grow.
