Growth Mindset: How to Change How You Think to Achieve Your Dreams

Did you ever really want to try something, but then not because you worried you’d look dumb? Most of us think like this! We’re plagued by what psychologist Carol Dweck calls a ‘fixed mindset.’ The great news is, we can change how we think, and, with a ‘growth mindset,’ get over our fears and finally start pursuing what we want in life. On this episode, I’m sharing Carol Dweck’s 2014 Ted Talk:  The Power of Believing that You Can Improve. 

 

Carol’s book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, has transformed lives — including my own. Visit postcardacademy.co for the video of Carol Dweck’s Ted Talk and to test which mindset you have. 

 

Also on this episode, I mention a travel packing check list I created for you.
