WEBVTT - MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: Cultivating a growth mindset 🌱

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Sam Wood, and this is your motivational moment for

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>this week, and we're going to talk about training your

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>mindset for the best chance of success. Now, one thing

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>that is crucial for determining our success is whether or

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 1>not we have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's something that many of you may not have

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>thought about before. It's something you may not have even

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>thought which of those two camps do you fall into.

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>So fixed mindset, they tend to believe that you either

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>have something or you don't. You're born with this athletic

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>prowess or you're not. You're born with self control or

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 1>you're not. This is just how I am. Nothing I

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>can do about it, full stop. So if you're fixed mindset,

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you avoid starting things that might be challenging, you give

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>up quickly once you do things and they fail, or

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you experience any kind of setback, no matter how big osmall.

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>You tend to look at things that other people have

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>achieved as a threat, as though sometimes they don't deserve them,

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>or they only have that because they were born with

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 1>this natural gift. There's not necessarily been any hard work

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>associated with that success for that particular person. In that

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>particular area of their life. The growth mindset type of

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>person believes that things can be learned, talent can be learned,

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and you can absolutely improve in anything. People with a

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>growth mindset they embrace new things, even when it's high

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>risk or they might fail numerous occasions. They see setbacks

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>as temporary but a necessary part of the success. They

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>see other success rather than a threat, as an inspiration.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>And the growth mindset person who's often seen by the

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>fixed mindset person as someone that has a really large

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>skill set or is incredibly successful, I think there would

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>still be some of us. I think most of us

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>are in a camp one or the other. Which category

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>do you fall into? You're a fixed mindset or a

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>growth mindset And the most important part of this little

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>motivational moment is to actually understand and accept that if

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you are finding that you're a fixed mindset person, that

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>you can change. And I guess it's the sort of

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>irony because a fixed mindset person may not think that

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>they can change because they feel like this is just

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>how I am, this is how I was born, these

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>are all the things that just come with me, and

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't change it, and it's absolute nonsense. Might not

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>be a clickifing your job, but you can absolutely get

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>there over time. And one of the first things that

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you can do to help you make this shift, because

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it might not be an overnight shift, but one of

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>the first things you can do to help you make

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>this shift is change the way you look at failure.

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Which brings us to our little list of tasks that

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I have for you this week. So this is for

0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>all of you fixed mindset people, if that's you, I

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>actually want you to consider something that you have done

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that you deemed a failure, something that you've tried recently

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>and you've failed and you've given up on, and you're

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>going to bring that task back out of the drawer.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You're going to dust it off, and you're going to

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>do two things. The first thing is you're going to

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>look at why you've failed last time, and you're going

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.839
<v Speaker 1>to ask yourself, what is one thing that I can

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>learn from that failure that's going to help me succeed

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>when I try it again. Because the second thing you

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>do is you're going to have another crack at It

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what it is. It can be in your

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>fitness life, it could be in your personal life. It

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>can be in your business life. It doesn't matter. You're

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>going to pick one thing. So we're looking at the

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>failure as an opportunity to learn rather than a full

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>stop in the quest to achieve it. So that's your homework,

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>or you listen to us for that week. I can't

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>wait to hear how you go spe to your son.

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:09.119
<v Speaker 1>M hmmmm mm hmmm mmm mm hmmmmm hmm
