Background of the Study
The entrepreneurial mindset is critical for the growth and sustainability of businesses, particularly in emerging economies. It encompasses qualities such as innovation, risk-taking, and proactivity, which drive decision-making and business strategies. For small businesses like restaurants, the entrepreneurial mindset influences how owners adapt to market demands, manage risks, and seize growth opportunities (Smith & Johnson, 2024).
In Yobe State, where the hospitality sector is growing amidst infrastructural and economic challenges, restaurant owners often face stiff competition and fluctuating demand. However, those with a strong entrepreneurial mindset have been able to navigate these challenges by diversifying their offerings, embracing innovation, and maintaining a customer-focused approach. This study examines the influence of an entrepreneurial mindset on business growth within the restaurant industry in Yobe State.

However, the exact impact of such a mindset on the growth of restaurants in Yobe State remains underexplored. This study seeks to fill this gap by assessing how an entrepreneurial mindset influences business growth in the restaurant sector.
