Giving up on your Audacious Goals?
Not Yet. And questions to ask to measure the performance and correct the course of action.
Growth Mindset Ideas
Not Yet
Starting something new, something you have not done before can be overwhelming. Like, when I started this newsletter I had doubts whether anyone will ever read it? For first one month there were only 6 readers, including me. :) For the first six months I had a thought of quitting every other day. "Not Yet" I'd say, to show up and write. Today's issue is going out to 1886 readers.
If you're are looking for a way to improve your approach to challenges, trying new things, adopting a "Not Yet" mindset would be a powerful tool. The growth mindset idea based on the belief that you can develop your abilities and intelligence. Hard word, dedication, and persistence over time produces results of 'new you'.
How to develop Not-yet mindset?
1. By embracing new challenges: embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow.
2. Focus on effort and process: Instead of focusing on outcomes, focus on the efforts and process. Acknowledge your hard work and dedication, regardless of the outcome.
3. Don't take critics personally: Take what you want to work on, learn from the criticisms and leave the rest.
4. Believe in yourself: you didn't learn to walk, drive, or swim on day one. But you sure did it. What can stop you from doing whatever new you wish to now?
In the world where many are ready to tell you to give up on your audacious goals, tell them 'Not yet' and move on. You’ve got this!
