You can develop your mindset by focusing on effort, creating challenges and by applying a sequence of four simple effective steps.

Step1. Learn to hear your fixed mindset “voice.”

Step 2. Recognize that you have a choice.

Step 3. Talk back to it with a growth mindset voice.

Step 4. Take the growth mindset action.

At the best of times I struggle to focused on any single task. Take right now for instance. I’m supposed to be listening to a presentation but instead I noticed an unpublished blog post so now my mind wondered to completing this post on the topic of mindset.

SO BANG! Here I am thinking about Mindset – the new psychology of success – the notion of a fixed versus a growth mindset and how to get into one.

In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong.

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

My focus now and into the future is how to apply the growth mindset into everything I do..
