"You are what you think. - You can do what you think you can do."
Let that sink in for a moment…
Your mindset is the foundation of your success.
80% Mindset, 20% Strategy: The Key to Success
When it comes to reaching your success and goals, the right mindset is so important!
YES – reaching your goals is 80% mindset and only 20% strategy.
Sure, strategy matters, but it’s your mindset that keeps you motivated, resilient, and focused on the bigger picture.
Think of it like this:
You can have the best plan in the world, but if you don’t believe in yourself or stay consistent when things get tough, that plan won’t get you far. Whether it’s thinking you’re not good enough or being uncomfortable asking for money—then your progress will stall.
Mindset is what fuels your action, keeps you moving forward, and helps you navigate challenges.
So, focus on strengthening your mindset first, and the strategies will fall into place.
So, what can you do to shift your mindset?
4 ways to shift your mindset
- Identify Limiting Beliefs
- Challenge Your Beliefs
- Adopt a Growth Mindset
- Start Training Your Mindset
Here is how you shift your mindset
1. Identify Limiting Beliefs
Start by taking a step back and reflecting on your current mindset.
Are you holding yourself back? Are there thoughts like “I’m not capable of this” or “I’ll never succeed”? Write down these limiting beliefs so you can start addressing them.
2. Challenge Your Beliefs
Once you’ve identified your limiting thoughts, think of times when you’ve actually accomplished something you believed was impossible. If nothing comes to mind, start training yourself now.
Take on small challenges every day. For example, if you believe you can’t take a cold shower, try it once. Push your boundaries, and over time, your confidence will grow.
3. Adopt a Growth Mindset
People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can improve through learning and experience. They think things like:
“I can learn from feedback,”
“I enjoy trying new things,”
“My mistakes help me grow.”
On the other hand, a fixed mindset is when someone believes their abilities are set in stone. Thoughts like:
“I was born this way,”
“I’ll stick to what I know,”
“I avoid challenges because they’re too risky.”
Which mindset do you resonate with?
4. Start Training Your Mindset
If you find yourself leaning toward a fixed mindset, don’t worry—you can shift to a growth mindset through practice. Start with small steps:
- Embrace feedback rather than fear it.
- Try something new, even if it’s uncomfortable.
- Reframe mistakes as learning opportunities.
Be the architect of your life
Your mindset shapes your reality. By adopting a growth mindset, you’ll create a foundation that allows you to break free from limitations and achieve the success you want.
