5 Mindsets That Will Hold You Back From Growth & Progress

July 6, 2015 whitneyenglish 1 Comment

“I know this already.”

So, are you practicing it, or is there a self-discipline issue at hand?

“I’ve already tried that.”

OK, so have you tried your hardest? Have you tried to the best of your ability? Have you consulted an expert about how you could try harder? Have you raised your hand and asked a question?

“I’m not smart enough to do that.”

Do you know how to read a book? Then you’re smart enough. Try harder. You’re at least smart enough to learn how to delegate.

“Darn it! I wish I had thought of that!”

Pick up the phone, and call the other party. Ask to collaborate. Get rid of your scarcity mentality. Cheer them on. Don’t copy, simply because that’s not thinking creatively. If you do, steal like an artist {affiliate link}. Other than that, keep your eyes on your own paper.

“I’m a creative entrepreneur! I want to diversify my income streams and operate multiple streams of revenue!”

Sounds good, but is your first income stream and channel of revenue producing viable income? Don’t get distracted. Focus.

    Great, quick read! Thank you! I definitely play the “darn it! Why didn’t I think of that?” card often enough! 😊
