Drawing on entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial mindset, this study conceptualizes how entrepreneurial mindset that is built from education establishes distinguishable enterprising mindset dimensions: elaborating mindset and implementing mindset. Both dimensions reflect different emphasis on intention and action. In testing how both mindsets are formed from entrepreneurial mindset and building on entrepreneurship education process, this study uses PLS-SEM to confirm the model. This study uses a sample of 301 vocational students participating in the educational setting that emphasizes on entrepreneur profession, management knowledge, and entrepreneurial skills. There is a significant variation in entrepreneurial mindset toward enterprising mindset which is directly attributable to the particular self-concept and entrepreneur profession to strengthen intention-action orientation from educational setting. Since few studies performed exploration on intention-action interaction, this study has done a reconstruction on how self-concept regarding entrepreneurship differentiates between analytical oriented (elaborating mindset) and action oriented (implementing mindset).
