The main theme of the book was really what the title says, it talks about your mindset and how you can change your mindset in order to better yourself as a person and business owner. The ideal mindset noted by the author would be the growth mindset. It is a mindset in which sets you up best for growing in life and your business.
This book connects with what we are learning in this class by talking about how if we were to take our business ideas in to the real world what type of mental preparation we would need in order to be successful. So it really builds on the ideas of the class.
My assignment I would create would be to identify the mindset you currently have and then to compare it to the ideal growth mindset and then the last part of it would be to plan out your business and the future with both your and the ideal mindsets in order to see the differences the mindsets can have on a business.
The biggest shocker or surprise to me was what in fact the growth mindset does. It allows you to appreciate and be positive in what you are doing no matter how it turns out. So it helps get rid of the negativity in order rot allow you to be more successful.
Hi Emory! I think its great that you learned so much from the book you read! Your mindset is so important when it comes to starting a big project, like an entrepreneurial one from this class. If it is negative you won't be able to grow because you aren't believing in yourself. The assignment idea you came up with is great too! One criticism though is to make sure you include the title and author of the book you read since there was a list to choose from, I don't know exactly what book you read.
ReplyDeleteHi Emory! I enjoyed reading your post because not only is your mindset crucial to accomplishing what you wish to in school and your future career, it is crucial in all aspects of life. To be a motivated happy person that wishes to reach success you must have the right positive mindset to accomplish that. I believe the growth mindset really ties in to what we are learning in this class, I would like to read this book for our third reading assignment but you did not provide the name and author of the book! It's always something silly we forget to include in our posts (i've done it before) so just try to remember that next time! I loved your assignment idea as well, overall great post!
ReplyDeleteHey Emory! Its great that you enjoyed and learnt so much from the book you read! Having the right mindset is the first step and arguably one of the most important qualities for any entrepreneur to have. With any business idea, in any field if you don't hold the right mindset it can hold you back. It would have helped if I did have the name of the book you read, as you did such a great job explaining it I would love to check it out for myself. However, your post was great otherwise.
