The Importance of Shopify in Online Selling
Shopify is highlighted as a crucial platform for selling online, catering to businesses at various stages of growth. It helps businesses sell everywhere, from their e-commerce platform to in-person point-of-sale systems. With a focus on turning browsers into buyers, Shopify provides a high-conversion checkout and AI-powered assistance. Moreover, it is a global force behind successful brands and offers award-winning support.
Recognizing the Need for a Growth Mindset
The podcast explores the concept of a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. Eduardo Brisenio, a mindset expert, emphasizes that having a growth mindset is not enough without effective strategies and habits for growth. Simply being open to new information and gaining knowledge does not equate to genuine growth. To truly grow and succeed, individuals must believe in their ability to change and possess the competence to implement effective strategies for improvement.
Overcoming Performance Paradox
The podcast delves into the performance paradox, as discussed in Eduardo Brisenio's book. It highlights the tendency to get stuck in a performance-driven mindset, focusing on daily tasks and routines instead of actively pursuing personal growth. Performance-oriented individuals often resist change and fail to take risks or try new things. To cultivate a true growth mindset, it is essential to step back from performance and adopt a mindset of learning, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Taking Action for Growth
The podcast concludes by providing actionable steps for fostering a growth mindset. It emphasizes the importance of auditing oneself, seeking critique, and constantly learning and evolving. Engaging in courses, finding mentors, and joining growth-minded communities are suggested as ways to cultivate growth mindset habits. Furthermore, the podcast advocates for reevaluating beliefs, discovering purpose, and building a supportive community of growth-minded individuals.
In this episode… I wrap up our series on mindset, specifically looking at what a growth mindset really is and the understanding that most of us are in fact not walking out a growth mindset, but are stuck in performance. This is our The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action episode to distill it all down. I kicked off by talking with Stanford-trained mindset expert Eduardo Briceño, the author of The Performance Paradox: Turning The Power of Mindset Into Action. It’s Eduardo’s research on how we miss the growth mindset that was my catalyst. He is also co-founder of Mindset Works with renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck. I then brought on Tom Ziglar, son of famed growth mindset expert Zig Ziglar, and CEO of Ziglar. Ziglar as a company is one of the most premier growth oriented companies in existence. From these talks I’m made greatly aware of how I too get stuck in performance and am not actually growing. So in reviewing all the notes for the actions I want to take toward growth, I came up with the key points, and I want to share them with you.
