ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Detailed explanation-1: -If you find yourself looking for reasons to blame other people for your own problems, you’re exercising an external locus of control. An example is a person blaming their waiter for their steak being undercooked when, in reality, they know they didn’t explain what they wanted clearly when they ordered.

Detailed explanation-2: -External locus of control means that control stems from external forces. When you have an external locus of control, you believe that events outside of your control drive your actions and the outcomes you get. If you win a game, you’ll believe that you won because you got lucky.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, a person who loses a sports game may feel depressed or anxious if they have a strong internal locus of control. If this person thinks, “I’m bad at sports and I don’t try hard enough, ‘’ they might allow the loss to affect their self-image and feel stressed in future games.

Detailed explanation-4: -People who develop an internal locus of control believe that they are responsible for their own success. Those with an external locus of control believe that external forces, like luck, determine their outcomes.
