2. "My greatest challenge has been to
change the mindset of people.
Mindsets play strange tricks on us.
We see things the way our minds
have instructed our eyes to see."
– Entrepreneur Muhammad Yunus
6. •We often forget about internal
factors
•Internal factors might include:
•Beliefs
•Attitudes
•Opinions
•Thinking Habits
7. WHAT IS ‘MINDSET’
•The concept of mindset was first formulated and
popularized by Stanford University psychologist
Carol Dweck
•Factors like intelligence & ability do not guarantee
success as an Entrepreneur
8. All of us know someone who is incredibly
intelligent or gifted but somehow never
realized their potential.
Think of a valedictorian who ends up
working a dead-end job or
a gifted athlete who gives up a sports
scholarship in order to stay closer to home.
These people seem stunted somehow and
it's a great shock that they don't pursue
their potential.
12. • Einstein did not speak until he was four and did
not read until he was seven, causing his teachers
and parents to think he was mentally handicapped,
slow and anti-social. Eventually, he was expelled
from school and was refused admittance to the
Zurich Polytechnic School.

13. •Isaac Newton was undoubtedly a genius
when it came to math, but he had some
failings early on. He never did
particularly well in school and when put
in charge of running the family farm, he
failed miserably, so poorly in fact that
an uncle took charge and sent him off
to Cambridge where he finally
blossomed into the scholar we know
today.
14. •Others tell you , you aren’t smart or you fail at
exams written by others
•Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein did not absorb
the negative mindset of others.
15. •This negative thinking ignores the
fact that intelligence means so
much more than just school
performance, and that many who
did poorly in school went on to be
great successes in their field.
16. You may have a negative mindset about your talents
17. You may think you are not a good public speaker due
to an incident in your past .
You may think, "I'm not a good public speaker. When I
presented my thesis in college, I choked. I couldn't
remember words and I was too nervous to perform
well. I'm just not a public speaker.“
18. However, Public Speaking is a talent that can be
learned with practice.
YOUR NEGATIVE MINDSET is preventing you from
the opportunity to spread your message through
public speaking
19. I was told by everyone that “ I am shy”
I am an introvert which I define as someone who
is more sensitive to the environment around me
in terms of stimuli
I believe I was born that way.
HOWEVER, because I’ve been told I am shy,
which is negative, I avoid those situations which
cause me stress when my body reacts with red
face or stuttering.
Negative mindset can make you avoid situations
20. To get over the negativity of being “Shy”
I go “on camera now” to give my message
And there are other things I should do ….one step
at a time
HOWEVER, I don’t call myself the negative “Shy” , I
call myself “an INTROVERT” which is the way I
was born and
I know what I can do to keep a POSITIVE MINDSET
that I use
to be able to be an INTROVERT in an EXTROVERT

Notes de l'éditeur
Every small business owner and entrepreneur is in a relentless pursuit to grow their business. They usually do this by looking at external methods, such as outsourcing key tasks like accounting, or installing automation software to take care of mundane tasks so they can focus on more important matters. They may try out new marketing tactics or sales strategies as well.
All of these external measures can make a tremendous difference in your business. But we often forget about internal factors, such as beliefs, attitudes, opinions, or habits of thinking, which have a massive impact on your business’ success. In fact, these internal factors are instrumental in determining the success of your business.
The concept of mindset was first formulated and popularized by Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck. Dweck's research focuses on the field of achievement and success. Her theory states that factors like intelligence and ability, while important, do not guarantee success. Rather, our mindset and our beliefs about our abilities play a key role in fueling, or dampening, our success.
All of us know someone who is incredibly intelligent or gifted but somehow never realized their potential. Think of a valedictorian who ends up working a dead-end job or a gifted athlete who gives up a sports scholarship in order to stay closer to home. These people seem stunted somehow and it's a great shock that they don't pursue their potential. It's easy to see that there's something holding them back that has nothing to do with ability or talent.
In the simplest terms, your mindset is a collection of beliefs. It includes beliefs about basic qualities like your intelligence, talents, and personality.
For example, you might have a certain view regarding your own intelligence. You may believe that you aren't ‘smart’ because you didn't perform well in school, as it’s widely believed that school performance equals intelligence. This may manifest itself in thoughts like, "I'm not smart because I didn't get good grades. Only smart people are successful. I am not smart, and therefore my business will never be very successful." This negative thinking ignores the fact that intelligence means so much more than just school performance, and that many who did poorly in school went on to be great successes in their field.
Or you may have a negative mindset about your talents. You may be asked to speak at an event that could lead to great opportunities for your business, but you decline because of a self-limiting belief. You may think, "I'm not a good public speaker. When I presented my thesis in college, I choked. I couldn't remember words and I was too nervous to perform well. I'm just not a public speaker." However, public speaking is a skill that anyone can learn through practice.
Whether conscious or unconscious, these mindsets can directly impact your success. We've considered two examples that show how negative mindset can impact your success, but a positive mindset can also help you activate your potential and reach heights of success you never imagined.
