#124 Entrepreneurship – Fixed and Growth Mindset and Visioning
Jul 06, 2019Sit quietly for a few moments and imagine that its the end of the day (I’m assuming it’s morning where you are). Now take a few deep breaths and think back on the day – what made it special? Did you spend time with friends? Was it the amazing round of golf in November or did you strike it rich at the casino? Did you enjoy a day on your own while the kids went on an adventure with grandma? Now…..
I’ve had a few meetings recently where I had an opportunity to speak about three of the core competencies of entrepreneurship that I dabble in – communication, networking and MINDSET with the latter being the one that I enjoy speaking about most.
Generally I’m chatting with people who are old school fixed mindset – having a foot in each canoe helps me to bring the conversation to a place where they get curious about what I’m saying. That’s all I want to do is start the dialogue. How do we teach fixed mindset people how to think like a growth mindset person? One part of that is teaching people how to vision. A clear vision of where you are going becomes a magnet, impacts your choices and gets you there quicker.
Here’s how it looks for a 30 Day Sales Challenge.
– we have set a goal for what we want to achieve.
– we do a visioning exercise where we imagine that we’re at Day 30.
– we visualize that we’re looking back over the month to see what it is that we did to get here.
– use your imagination.
– what needed to go well.
– what people did we need to meet.
– what did we say no to?
Now get ‘er done.
