Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
It’s easy to look at someone who works hard and is successful and believe that their success was brought on by the effort he or she gave.
But the truth is that hard work is only a fraction of what can lead to success.
Your mindset is what matters most when you have goals that you want to reach. For anyone who wants to reach the top, you need to understand how your mindset affects your journey.
In the book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, you’ll gain the knowledge of how uncovering the power of mindset can enhance your life and help you achieve your ambitions.
The book delves into explaining how that there are two types of mindsets. You can either have a fixed mindset or you can have one that’s a growth mindset. Those who have a fixed mindset believe everything is yes or no, that there is no wiggle room, no maybes involved.
A fixed mindset causes the type of thinking that labels people as being one thing and not another. For example, a fixed mindset sees that a person has talent or they don’t, that you can have intelligence or you’re dumb.
The drawback is that this kind of thinking leads to the belief that success is only available to some and not to everyone. They believe that there are the can do types of people and the can’t do.
The book teaches that when you have a fixed mindset, the preconceived ideas that you have can limit your success. The reason is because you think that what will be is a foregone conclusion.
Other people can run a business and make six figures a year, but not you. Usually that reasoning follows with some sort of excuse or label such as, “I can’t achieve success in this area because I’m not as smart as the competition.”
People who have fixed mindsets shy away from trying new things that could change their lives or businesses. They like to do things a certain way and don’t see the potential in themselves.
They often experience jealousy, anger or bitterness when their business colleagues reach the success they want to have but haven’t gone after. The book teaches that a growth mindset believes that one doesn’t have to be born with talent or skills or intelligence.
