So, what is a Success Mindset? 

It is the approach to life that makes you most likely to be successful (whatever your personal definition of success is, and whatever your goals are), and consists of the following 5 qualities:

  • Grounded Confidence: If you don’t believe that you can accomplish what you’re trying to do, that makes it harder to try. On the other hand, if you have an over-inflated vision of yourself, you drive people away and choose unrealistic goals.
  • Growth Mindset: If you want to be successful but you aren’t yet, you probably need to learn new things and stretch your capabilities. Having a growth mindset means that you believe that you’re capable of learning and growing, and that in the future you will be capable of more than you are today.
  • Perseverance: Perseverance has two components: willpower, which is the willingness in the moment to do the hard or tedious thing instead of the instant gratification thing, and grit, which is the ability to keep returning to the hard thing over and over for months and years, even in the face of setbacks. Success takes hard work over an extended period of time, and that work is often tedious.
  • Stress Management: There will be stress, and unpleasant emotions, and difficulties. If you’re going to make it, you need to have a way to deal with those.
  • Personal Responsibility: Regardless of your situation or background, becoming successful is up to you. Nobody else is going to do it for you. Also, it’s your responsibility to choose what goals you want to work towards.

These qualities are applicable if you’re trying to find a new job, a new relationship, or a new lifestyle. They apply to learning a foreign language, or how to knit, or how to play a sport. They can help you become a better parent, boss, employee, or friend.

And, the best news? They can all be learned. As your coach, I’ll help you explore what you want to accomplish, and what’s standing in your way. Then, I’ll provide you with things that you can do to overcome the barriers that are preventing you from achieving your goals!
