92: Apply ‘Mindset’ by Carol Dweck to Your Business (Making Good Book Club #1)
Today is a very special day because it’s the first ever edition of the Making Good Book Club! If you missed the announcement about Making Good Book Club, here’s the short version: once per month my co-host Charelle and I will discuss a book we think can help move the needle in your small business, and we’ll share our takeaways specifically for small businesses.
Today, in this first book club episode, we’re talking all about the book Mindset by Carol Dweck. We discuss what the book is about, our key takeaways, and our ideas about applying it to your small businesses. And then, at the end of the episode, we share our choice for next month’s book club book. Hurray!
Our notes from the book:
Fixed mindset vs. growth. mindset
Nautral talent vs. hard work
How we react to setbacks matters
How we should view failure (an incident vs. an identity)
Failure is not the opposite of success, but the path to success
How fixed mindsets show up in small business
Unwillingness to try new things
Getting stuck labeling ourselves
Responding to feedback or criticism
Examples: video, tech
Strategies for success
Having a very concrete plan
Rewarding effort vs. results
Always asking the question: “what can I learn from this?”
Set goals for success
