Episode 14 - TranscriptHey hey and welcome to another episode of the Financial Harmoney Podcast. This is episode number 14: cultivating a growth mindset. And thank you so much for tuning in to this episode, and I am very excited to have you here again and to be talking about growth mindsets.  As you might know, cultivating a growth mindset I believe to be such an important prerequisite for achieving the successes that you are looking for. If you don’t actually believe that you are going to be successful or achieve your goals, then how in the world are you actually going to be able to do so..? So really, the first part of setting yourself up for success is all centered around having the right mindset. And that is what I am going to want to look at today with you. And in particular I want to talk about a growth mindset, what it is, and how it can help you get to where you really want to get to!  So let’s dive right in and look at mindset in more detail. So your mindset is the way you think about something, and in this context to be more specific it is about your belief in your own ability to achieve a certain goal. Now the way you think about this and even the goal you set for yourself tells you a lot about your own mindset. This becomes obvious in the way that you think about it, the way that you talk about it to yourself and the way that you talk about it with others too. And that in turn determines your decisions and your action plans and then your next goals. And that becomes like a continuous development that can take you super far down one road or the other, depending on that mindset.  So let me give you an example to make this a little bit more tangible. Let’s say that .. let’s see… that your goal is to set up your own business, okay that a good one to start with. Okay so you want to set up your business. Now imagine that somebody asks you: “What are your goals for the next year?”, and you say: “I want to set up my own business”. Then that might spark some conversation and interest, but let’s compare it to another answer that you could give if you said: “I am going to set up my own successful business”. Wow can you see how this is already so much more powerful? So instead of “I want” you’re already saying “I’m going to”... set up a business, and you’re not actually just going to set up your own business, but you're going to set up your own business that will be successful. Sounds much more powerful and much more of a commitment than wanting to set up your own business. I’d say that the person making that second statement will be much more likely to set up a successful business than the first person. So the way you talk about it to others and to yourself can have a huge impact on your outcome in terms of achieving your ultimate goal. I want to set up my own business and I am going to set up my own successful business. So your mindset starts with yourself,
