E7 // Growth vs Fixed Mindset and How it Affects Your Life and Business

Welcome Gritty Friends!

  I am loving this topic today!  Growth vs Fixed Mindset and how they effect your business and your life.  I have learned so much about growth vs fixed mindset over the last 7 years.   We are going to talk about how to find out if you are in a growth or fixed mindset and then I want to offer some strategies that will help if you are ready to make BIG changes in your life and/or your business.  Let’s just jump into the rough sandpaper of it….Growth is uncomfortable.  It is doing things we haven’t done before.  We start to get the fear of failure creeping in.  Can I do this new thing? What if someone sees me screw up?  What if I don’t sound smart?   The list goes on.  But if you actually want to take huge steps in your life - then my friends - you are going to have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.  That’s just the way it is. 

    I know when I try something new, I am worried it won’t be perfect and specifically I mean that I need to perfect everything before I can start.  So when do I start?  Never.  Because it’s never perfect.  Your life is now isn’t going to be the same in 1 year.  So why expect your business to be the same?  If you want to implement big changes - then do it.  The best advice one of our kids teachers told me about writing - no author ever published in their first writing.  It took A LOT of revisions.  For this situation - she felt all kids should be able to revise their essays for better grades because all writers revise.  Have you ever read a book and still found errors?  So we need to accept that whatever we do will be imperfect to start.  We continue to improve.  If you create a course, maybe the first iteration isn't your best but it is better then never producing, right?  This is growth! When you do it in the uncomfortable, you are in a growth mindset.

    Fixed mindset is when you decide you can’t do it because you aren’t smart enough, you can’t learn anymore than you have, you don’t want to learn.  This mindset is just stagnant and we'll talk about why people often feel this way and stay in this mode.   I am the first one to tell you - I have had a fixed mindset before.  I am sure if you think about it at the end of this episode, you could tell me when and what your fixed mindset was about. 

   Do you think you have a growth or a fixed mindset? My goal is to help you find a way to get into the growth - so you can make BIG changes to your business and your life.
