There is a well known saying that to become a successful entrepreneur, your mindset is as important as your skill set, and I have to say I agree with that philosophy. Having the right mindset is everything. When it comes to developing a growth mindset in particular, it is definitely a different kind of attitude that is required. It means being open to continually learning, trying new things, pushing boundaries, questioning ourselves and our business models. It is about never standing still, always looking to improve, always being curious and open to learning from others. As Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck says, “When we have a growth mindset we believe that our intelligence, creative abilities, and character are things that we can improve in meaningful ways. We can always learn and get better at what we do.” Remember, you don’t have to wait for external events to be the catalyst to develop your growth mindset, do it because it is key to your future success story.
