Five Ways To Develop A Winning Mindset
Don’t rely on your talent
We all have some type of talent, something that sets us apart from the rest of the world. This can also be a potential trap.
Never just rely on your gift or talent alone. Work on your craft. Investigate your weaknesses and make an effort to minimize them.

“The best performers set goals that are not about the outcome but about the process of reaching the outcome.”
The journey is the destination
We never arrive. We work hard to succeed, and then we have to work twice as hard to maintain that success.
It’s a slow grind. And it starts with our mindset.
John C. Maxwell
"One of the paradoxes of life is that the things that initially make you successful are rarely the things that keep you successful.”
Passion and perseverance
Grit represents a combination of passion and perseverance for a specific, long-term goal.
It means being able to rebound from adversity and it is the greatest contributor to your success.
Consistent small steps maintain momentum
You reach big goals with consistent baby steps.
You have to give yourself credit for small gains. They build momentum and provide much-needed life lessons.
Trust your vision
That doesn’t mean you shouldn't make adjustments within your business.
It means that you have to have trust that your ideas will work.
Take action toward your goal
You can't think your way to a goal. You have to take action.
Be willing to take action, even potentially incorrect action, and make it a habit.

Steps For Building a New Habit
- Start by building your identity.
- Focus on small behaviors, not life-changing transformations.
- Develop a routine that gets you going regardless of how motivated you feel.
Defining Mental Toughness
Whatever it is, be clear about what you’re going after and tie it to concrete actions. You can’t think your way to becoming mentally tough, you prove it to yourself by doing something in real life.
Mental Toughness And Small Wins
Mental toughness needs to be worked to grow and develop. If you haven’t pushed yourself in thousands of small ways, you’ll wilt when things get difficult.
Extreme situations test our courage, perseverance, and mental toughness, but so do everyday circumstances. Challenge yourself whenever you can, consistently do what you know you’re supposed to and don’t let your brain’s laziness control you.

A growth mindset is a desirable thing to have...
...so many people declare they have it:
- If they are open minded and flexible, they said they have it
- If they are kind to people, they said they have it
But a&nb...
The growth mindset
...is the belief that your abilities can be improved through effort.
And this means you can get better and hard work pays off.
Tips for encouraging a growth mindset (in yourself and in others):
- Don’t praise ability or intelligence: That promotes a fixed mindset. Compliment effort, process and choices.
- Don’t ignore outcome, tie it to effort: You can be happy about success, but attribute it to effort.
- Respond positively to failure: Failure isn’t bad, it’s a tool for improving.
- Don’t just say “Try hard.” Set goals: Blind repetition doesn’t work.
- Practice a Growth mindset in all areas of life: There’s no area where they cannot improve with hard work.
- Share your own Growth mindset efforts: Practice it yourself and share your results.

Growth Mindset
People with a Growth Mindset believe they can grow, develop, and master whatever skills and abilities they wish in life.
They enjoy learning and overcoming challenges, work...
Mindset is a belief system
It includes the ideas we have about ourselves and the world around us.
These beliefs come from our innate dispositions, childhood experience and/or cultural/societal influence and are often entrenched.
Examine the evidence
If you believe you can’t learn new skills or change the way you work, look at the evidence that supports both your negative and positive beliefs.
This may not necessarily lead to a modification of those beliefs, but is an important start. You can use belief monitoring to keep track of your thinking.
