The study uses a descriptive approach with primary data from individuals with at least two years of business experience. The independent factors in the model are entrepreneurial education, innovativeness, and risk-taking, with creativity serving as a mediating variable and entrepreneurial intention as the dependent variable.
The findings show that entrepreneurs' intentions to launch a sustainable business are positively influenced by entrepreneurial education, innovativeness, and creativity. Entrepreneurship education, risk-taking, innovativeness, and originality significantly impact creativity. The research suggests that entrepreneurial education, innovativeness, and creativity should be improved to enhance the entrepreneurial mindset and establish a sustainable business.
Entrepreneurship is vital for economic progress, as it promotes growth, job creation, technology adoption, innovation, and poverty reduction. Entrepreneurial intent refers to an individual's deliberate pursuit of starting a new business or initiative as a vocation. Entrepreneurship involves building a long-term enterprise, understanding the market dynamics, creating a business strategy, and taking risks. The entrepreneurial mindset differs from that of a worker and is driven by independence, innovation, and challenge.
The study concludes that personality traits such as creativity, innovativeness, risk-taking, and entrepreneurship education impact entrepreneurial attitude. Innovation and creativity are crucial for generating new ideas and developing new markets.

CHAPTER 1
DEFINING AN ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET
“An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down” - Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder of LinkedIn
Entrepreneurship is a term that is often thrown around in business circles, but what does it really mean? Simply put, an entrepreneurial mindset is a way of thinking that is characterized by innovation, risk-taking, and the ability to turn ideas into reality. Entrepreneurs are individuals who see opportunities where others see obstacles, and who are willing to take the risks necessary to make their ideas a reality.
The entrepreneurial mindset is not limited to the realm of business.

Specialists agree that a mindset may be either fixed or growing. Whereas a fixed mindset believes your qualities and abilities are fixed, a growth mindset believes they can be developed.
Others, though, are quick to point out that an attitude may shift. Most of this is accomplished by being more conscious of your existing attitude and taking efforts to intentionally begin thinking and behaving in different ways. The mentality notion is derived from the domains of cognitive psychology and organizational theory. Experts explain the literature’s results as they apply to indiv
