The difference between a fixed and growth mindset can have a huge impact on your success. If you don't know the difference, you could end up with a mindset that can hold you back from reaching your full potential. A fixed mindset is the belief that you have what it takes to succeed and grow, while a growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed over time with effort. Those with growth mindsets will take risks because they believe in themselves and their abilities. On the other hand, those with fixed mindsets are satisfied with their current accomplishments but don't want to risk any hard work for fear of failure. What do you think of when you hear the words “fixed mindset”? Most people would say it means someone who believes they have what it takes to succeed and grow. But in reality, a fixed mindset is quite different. It's the belief that your abilities can't be developed over time with effort - that all or most abilities are set from birth, like eye color. And this leads to an entirely different type of person: one who is satisfied with their current accomplishments but doesn't want to risk any hard work for fear of failure; one who won't try new things because they don't believe they'll succeed; one who may not even notice (or care) if something isn't working out well in their life or career. People with a fixed mindset refuse to take risks. They aren't willing to do the extra work it takes to go from good to great because they believe they will automatically be successful if they just show up and do their job. And many times, this holds them back from achieving even what's expected of them. To know more, watch full video:
