A qualitative methodology exploratory study was conducted from 13 entrepreneurs that are just starting out on their entrepreneurial journey as a sample, and results from the data collected was analysed deductively to understand how they respond to challenges in a resource-constraint context. From the data gathered and analysed through a thematic analysis, the findings established that adopting a growth mindset and establishing professional networks were critical components of developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
