Louis Massaro explains Carol Dweck's concept of growth versus fixed mindset. Growth mindset means you believe you can learn and improve through effort. Fixed mindset tells you that your traits and circumstances are unchangeable, so why try.
Entrepreneurs are one of the most growth minded sets of people out there. So we think about mindset. There's really two types of mindsets. There's a growth mindset and there's a fixed mindset. It's a great book by Carol Dweck called Mindset. I suggest that you read breaks down how this really works, the psychological aspects behind it. Growth mindset says hey, if there's something I don't know I could go figure it out. I could gain the capabilities, I could get better, I could practice where the fixed mindset says I don't know how to do this thing, I'm not going to try, I'm stuck. Louis, you don't understand where I'm from. You don't understand how I grew up. You don't understand I'm dyslexic. You don't understand I got this. You don't understand I got that. That's all fixed mindset and that keeps you fixed where you are.
