Fixed or Growth Mindset

Having a fixed or growth mindset can be instrumental in the success of your business.

Why?

Because “mindset is the foundation of your growth or the ceiling of your success” #Mindset

What is a fixed or growth mindset?

Your mindset or your thoughts and feelings will have an impact on your levels of determination, commitment, action and ultimately the results you want to achieve in your business.

Understanding your mindset and of those in your team, could be the key to your business success.

Do you and your team embrace change and see challenges as opportunities?

Or do you and fear criticism and give up easily?

Your mindset could directly affect the results you want in your business.

That’s why here at ActionCOACH Cheltenham we work with our clients to help them understand their mindset. To develop their understanding in how they behave in their working lives, lead their team, interact with others, motivate those around them and get ready for success.

We think it’s fundamental to have a GROWTH MINDSET for you to achieve your business goals.

What do we mean by a growth mindset?

The Growth Mindset versus the Fixed Mindset

The fixed mindset will:

  • Avoid challenges
  • Give up Easily
  • See effort as worthless
  • Ignore any negative feedback
  • Feel threatened by those who seem to succeed

 

In contrast, the GROWTH mindset will:

  • Embrace challenges
  • See effort as a pathway to mastery
  • Learn from criticism and see it as an opportunity for growth and better understanding
  • Will be inspired by the success of others and learn from their lessons

Key Fact

93% of your behaviour is influenced by your subconscious mind.

So when running a business, if you can embrace a growth mindset, you’ve taken a step towards success.

The American psychologist Carol Dweck who is considered the “guru” of understanding mindsets, says:

Brains and Talent are Just the Starting Point

“In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work – brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment”.

Why is a Growth Mindset Important?

If you understand that training and discipline, together with hard work is all part of a growth mindset, this will motivate you and your team to achieve more.

Having a growth mindset and all the attributes associated with it, will lead to better and faster results in your business.
