Mindset: Do You Have What It Takes To Make It Online?

So, you have decided to make your dreams explode by working online as many have chosen to do. That sounds like a great plan and certainly it is the way to go. There are several components and tools that will have to come together to make it all work. However, one of the most important components of all but may sometimes be over-looked is your Mind Set.

Are you aware of your mindset choice? 

Do you have the type of mindset that will lead you to be successful in life? By the way, success may have an array of definitions- meaning different things to different people. Regardless, the goal should be to achieve it to the fullest. Let's quickly discuss two mindsets derived from renowned psychologist Carol Dweck- The Fixed and Growth mindsets:

With the Fixed Mindset- An individual's intelligence, skills and the ability to grow have no motion because they are fixed or at a resting point. People with this mindset may even have a great desire for a positive self-image and to achieve success; They want to better themselves and perform well but when it comes to certain requirements to achieve their goals, they do not try, do not try hard enough or just don't follow through and all due to their "fixed" belief system. 

When it comes to Obstacles, they easily give up... When it comes to Challenges, they avoid them... When it comes to Effort, they see it as hard work or fruitless... When it comes to Criticism, they are not able to determine what's helpful or constructive from what is not... and last but not least... Success of others, they may easily feel threaten by the success of others.

With the Growth Mindset-An individual's intelligence can be developed with a hungry desire to learn. This in turn creates a tendency to Embrace Challenges... Effort is seen as the pathway to growth and mastery... Persistence, is seen as the key to overcome setbacks and a way to create come-backs... 

Any failures are seen as valuable learning experiences that draws wisdom... Constructive Criticism, is not taken personally, they understand the value of helpful criticism and how to apply it. They welcome positive changes and improvements for growth increase. Usually, people who have the growth mindset surround themselves around like-minded people who bring value and greater growth into their lives. They become contagious in a great way to others who interact with them. They are willing to share, help, inspire and motivate others to develop this mindset.

In my opinion, it will take the growth mindset to make it, not just online but in life period. If you are working, take inventory of your mindset and make the best choices for your growth, that if you haven't already. Ask yourself, which of these mindsets will most beneficial or help me to navigate closer to my goals? 

As, I researched these mindsets I realize that there's a great possibility to convert from one mindset to the next. The goal should be to accept the growth mindset and persist to maintain it without converting to the fixed mindset; Once you are moving and growing, continue to grow with a vengeance and never look back.
