ABSTRACT

Entrepreneurship is a powerful force for economic and social change, and entrepreneurial mindset training is a demonstrated way to assist entrepreneurs. This assistance is likely to occur at least in part through the enhancement of entrepreneurs’ psychological empowerment. Yet, despite its potential to benefit entrepreneurs from marginalized populations, entrepreneurial mindset training does not necessarily emphasize forces of social and economic inequality and inequality. To more fully promote the psychological empowerment of entrepreneurs from marginalized backgrounds, and to thus enhance disruptive forms of entrepreneurship that help to make the world a better place, I propose the greater adoption of a critical entrepreneurial mindset training that more saliently focuses on issues of social and inequality but in the content of the training and in the method of its delivery.
