The Role of Growth Mindset in Success
Mindset is everything. Whether you’re talking about career success, starting your own business, getting through a tough workout or being a parent, having the right mindset can make the difference between success and failure.
A growth mindset is based on the idea that your essential qualities are things you can progressively improve on and become better in. It is the belief, that everyone can change and grow through experience and practice. A growth mentality sees failure not as a detriment, but as a springboard to success. Failing is a form of learning.
Success is influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities; and how we harness them. Once we appreciate the power of a growth mentality, studies show that it can be essential for career success.
Having a growth mindset means you understand that you can improve or learn more if you put in the effort. With a growth mindset, you will understand the importance of persistence and determination as it will help you overcome obstacles you may face when learning something new or developing a new skill.
People with a growth mindset view a setback as an opportunity to learn from, and they tend to try harder to overcome the problem.
