Abstract
This chapter helps marginalized and minority entrepreneurs understand the fundamental mental skills that underpin the code-breaking skills they need. Having pinpointed enabling personal qualities and strategies, it now encourages them to take their personal development to the next level by cultivating high-order mental skills. It does so by offering guidance on how they can do three related set of things better: think about how they are thinking, change how they think, and choosing a way of thinking that is most helpful for the situation at hand.
