When we talk about entrepreneurship growth mindset is quite necessary to work it with your business ideas.

As we all know, there is a vast difference between a Growth mindset VS Fixed mindset. I am sharing a brief example of it.

Amal has designed some totkays (simple remedies) for practicing more about entrepreneurial mindset for practicing and developing a progressive entrepreneurial mindset.

  1. Self Talk

Speaking of myself, I can’t stop talking to myself. I always thought of being paranoid or maniac when it comes to self-talk. But trust me, folks, it has some profound benefits.

It helps me in self-analysis of my skills on my performances. Even this practice helps you even planning on your future goals. A positive and healthy mind can help you practice anything and make it happen in reality, even by believing in it.

I am sharing some of the tips on self-talk.

2. Get Out Of Your Comfort

I mean, who doesn’t love a safe space for oneself, but that’s not with success. If you want to achieve something in your life, you need to step out of your comfort zone. A lot of people don’t realize it, but the comfort zone is quite a dangerous place.

It hinders your growth, plus it also stops you from achieving things in your life that you always dreamt of. Your success is just an idea away from stepping out of your comfort zone.

3. Create a New Habit

A new startup requires new skills and new habits. Why not try to start practicing new patterns every day, leading us to our goal a little closer.

4. Ask For Help

If you feel that you are stuck in a situation and couldn’t help yourself out of it, ask for help to get things right. But asking for help doesn’t mean you develop a dependency nature on others. Try to balance out both of these.

5. Fake It Till You Make It

My favorite trait. Faking it till you make it is one of the most difficult because you have to lie to yourself every day and tell everything is okay when things are not. On the contrary, This is the mindset we need to say to ourselves that we will make through it, and things are still in your hand. Eventually, your brain will start to work like that, and step by step, you’ll be reaching out to your ultimate goals.

1. How did they find the five tips?

I loved these tips to start practicing the entrepreneurial mindset. But not only that, these are applicable in every step of life.

2. What are their takeaways?

The takeaways that I got from these tips is nothing is impossible or too complicated that you cant do. You can achieve anything & everything by only practicing and working hard for it.

3. What were their fav tips?

My favorite tip was Fake it till you make it, and now you must know ‘why.’ :D

4. What have they started implementing already

I have started by telling myself that I can do this. ( I can pass through my semester with good marks) And we need AMAL for that. So, I have added some of the new habits that can help in smart learning.

5. What can they do to develop a Growth Mindset beginning from today?

I think the growth mindset can start by simply following these tips, along with Kam Kam Kam and being a leader of your own.
