17: Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset

Episode Overview:

In this episode of the Women’s Success Coach Podcast, I am talking about Mindset, having a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset and why this matters. In this episode I break it all down, share with you why  learning to manage your mindset matters, and I then give you some specific tools that you can implement right away to help you start to manage your mindset and foster a growth mindset.

What I Cover:

• What is a fixed mindset and how does it form.

• What is a growth mindset and why this mindset is preferred.

• A specific example of how mindset can change your life dramatically.

• 6 strategies for moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Let’s Take Some Action:

Go through the 6 strategies below to start to create, or enhance a growth mindset.

• #1: Increase your awareness. Start to notice where you have a fixed mindset.

• #2: Embrace the power of “yet”. Add the word “yet” onto the end of a sentence which reminds you that change is possible and just because you can’t do something or have something today, does not mean that it will never happen.

• #3: Challenge the limiting beliefs you hold about yourself, your abilities, or your intelligence. All thoughts are not true so be sure you are questioning them and not accepting them at face value, even if they are thoughts you have been holding onto for a long time.

• #4: Embrace challenges instead of fearing them and trying to avoid them. Lean into challenges, appreciate the process and your efforts, and know that this is where real growth occurs.

• #5: Learn from your failures. See failures as learning opportunities, rather than setbacks that stop you in your tracks.

• #6: Surround yourself with other people who embrace a growth mindset. This can make a big difference so take some time to seek out others with a growth mindset if you do not already have them in your life.
