2.1) Cultivating a Success Mindset for Growth, Happiness, and Business Success
This was originally provided in Week 7 of the 12 week, DFY version of the My First 10 Clients curriculum... however, we realized this needed to be shared earlier on! (and to be re-reviewed at least every 4 to 6 weeks...) After watching, you'll know why.
Your mindset is the general way that you think about things.
People are often described as “optimists” or "pessimists,” for example. So, someone could have an optimistic mindset.
There are other types of mindsets as well. In addition to positive or negative, you can have a growth or fixed mindset too. A growth mindset is one where the person strives to learn, even from mistakes and failures. A fixed mindset is the opposite. The person likely avoids learning new approaches or information because they’re more comfortable with what they know and how they “do things.”
So, a success mindset is actually a combination of a few mindset qualities. It’s a mindset that is embraced by the most successful business owners. A success mindset is:
- Positive
- Growth-oriented
- Risk-oriented
- Grateful
- Energetic/action-oriented
Successful people have this mindset, and it’s global. Successful people all around the world demonstrate these characteristics. Does that mean that if you don’t have this mindset you can’t be successful?
Absolutely not!
In fact, you can change your mindset right now. You can start shifting the way you think. It’s both simple and challenging at the same time. You see, how you think is a habit, and habits can be changed, right? It just takes determination and time.
If you’re someone, for example, who always feels victimized by circumstances, then you can shift how you think and become someone who sees opportunity in every challenge or obstacle. It’s possible, and when you do make this kind of mindset shift – when you begin to embrace a success mindset – you’ll begin to see a whole new set of possibilities for your business.
Let’s look at the benefits of a success mindset in this week's video lesson.
