OPINION| Why should an entrepreneurial mindset mean something to you?: Collaboration is essential for interventions that inculcate entrepreneurship in our youth
in South Africa remained unchanged at 66.5%. With a volatile and intense melting pot of so many unemployed people, and particularly unemployed youth, nothing good can result unless we can come together and forge the opportunities that will lead to meaningful, scalable and sustainable job creation.
Is “entrepreneurship” the new buzzword that gets bandied about when discussing the hopelessness of the unemployment rate? You would be forgiven for thinking so when evaluating the plethora of organisations involved in entrepreneurial support and development in some shape or form.
One of the key lessons that can and should be learnt from early on is the painful process of risking failure in order to find out what works and what does not. These valuable lessons build resilience and stamina and are exceptionally helpful in developing a durable entrepreneurial mindset. These learnings go a long way to building high-impact entrepreneurs who have the skills, capacity and drive to create businesses that are scalable and have the potential to create additional jobs.
In addition, it is important to inculcate an environment of boundary-free learning. Just because a young person lives in Soweto, without access to many of the amenities of more affluent areas, it does not mean that they cannot capitalise on some of the technologies from places such as the US, China or India, to be adapted for a purely South African context.
