00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,210
This is Stephanie Maas.

2
00:00:01,650 --> 00:00:04,410
Today I wanna talk to you about your mindset.

3
00:00:04,830 --> 00:00:06,985
Where is your mindset today?

4
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:14,820
I am still finding folks that are clearly defining themselves in one or two mindsets.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,900
One is a mindset of a fixed mindset.

6
00:00:19,725 --> 00:00:22,755
The other one is a growth mindset.

7
00:00:23,115 --> 00:00:25,005
Here's a few characteristics of each.

8
00:00:25,215 --> 00:00:33,675
The fixed mindset is still thinking and talking about all the challenges of a post pandemic world.

9
00:00:33,735 --> 00:00:47,265
They're focused on the problems, but rather the mindset is that the world can only be so
good, or there can only be so much to be had because we're still in this post pandemic world.

10
00:00:47,850 --> 00:01:07,530
The flip side of that is the growth mindset, and it's where folks have accepted that this is just
kind of where we are right now, and they're determined to be more creative, to be more thoughtful,
to find different ways around, over, under, through whatever the challenges of the day are.

11
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:13,890
They literally wake up and believe that there is something for them to be had out there.

12
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:15,420
They just gotta get to it.

13
00:01:15,929 --> 00:01:24,479
Another characteristic of somebody who is in a growth mindset
is the sense of abundance, meaning there's enough for everyone.

14
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:27,660
They're not hoarding nuts for the winter, if you will.

15
00:01:28,005 --> 00:01:39,164
The fixed mindset is that mentality of scarcity, where they're still kind of
hunched over and, and trying to see what they can get to make sure they're
taken care of because they don't know if there's gonna be enough to go around.

16
00:01:39,615 --> 00:01:49,000
It really, at the end of the day, doesn't matter what mindset
you are in, as long as you know, Hey, this is where I'm at.

17
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:57,899
If you can consciously accept, Hey, I know there may come a time and
a place where I can be more growth oriented, but I'm not there today.

18
00:01:58,259 --> 00:01:58,889
Right now.

19
00:01:58,949 --> 00:02:02,940
I need to be hunkered down and focused and here, and I'm gonna be in this fixed mindset.

20
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:07,470
And if that's where you need to be, that's where you need to be as long as you acknowledge it.

21
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:10,079
Same thing with the growth mindset.

22
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:13,170
If you know, now's my time to shine.

23
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,760
I'm pretty excited.

24
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:15,480
Own it.

25
00:02:15,690 --> 00:02:17,549
Let your creative juices flow.

26
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:30,060
Be in that mindset, and let me encourage you to take as many folks with you as possible
because when you have an abundance mentality, people will naturally be attracted to you.

27
00:02:30,299 --> 00:02:33,695
There will always be enough to go around and share.

28
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:36,839
Again, one is not better than the other.

29
00:02:36,989 --> 00:02:38,130
They're just different.

30
00:02:38,399 --> 00:02:43,529
My challenge is, which one are you in, and is that where you want to be today?
