An exponential mindset to help you become more successful

What is an Exponential Mindset?

  1. A way of thinking and operating that enables exponential growth.
  2. On a chart, it looks like a hockey stick.
  3. Set stretch goals – also known as Big Hairy Audacious Goals that scare you!
  4. Incorporates failure as part of the process.
  5. Expansion beyond your comfort zone.
  6. Slow growth at first, then exponential growth takes off.
  7. Invest now for the longer term.
  8. Allow yourself to win big!

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset and Beliefs

Most of us would agree that our beliefs create our results in life, career, and business. Have you ever wondered how our beliefs are translated into results? What is the mechanism and how does it work?

The answer is both simple and complex. Our beliefs determine our attitudes and mindsets, which drive our behavior. In other words, our actions drive our outcomes.

In this video, I introduce a video presented by Carol Dweck and animated by RSA Shorts.

Carol Dweck studies human motivation. She spends dives deep into why some people succeed while others don’t. Her theory of two mindsets and the difference they make in outcomes is simple and profound!

As Dweck describes it: “My work bridges developmental psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology, and examines the self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior. My research looks at the origins of these mindsets, their role in motivation and self-regulation, and their impact on achievement and interpersonal processes.”

I am sure you will love the video!
