| Cultivate a growth mindset. Believe in your capabilities and embrace opportunities to learn and grow. You are the creator of your life, regardless of your situation and circumstances. Regularly challenge yourself with tasks and experiences which you might feel are beyond your current abilities or confidence level. You might be amazed at how skilled and talented you are. One of my friends has just completed a course learning how to make leather goods and I'm incredibly impressed at what she has created. I can see her starting a new and profitable business. Use visualization techniques to imagine yourself successfully achieving your goals. Be willing to adapt and adjust your approach. Assess what's working, what isn't, and make changes. I like to track and review my progress monthly and quarterly, and then make decisions about what to do differently and what to let go of. Connect with others who inspire you to stretch beyond your comfort zone. Find new networks of people who can offer valuable feedback, experience, encouragement, and accountability. Embrace failure as a learning experience, where you can analyse what went wrong and how you can change your approach. Spend time in new environments. One year I travelled around India on my own. I admit I was VERY nervous before I went. However, it was an amazing trip, and my journey opened my mind to new experiences and ideas, which would never have been possible sitting at my desk. |
