A business mindset is your business attitudes based on your business experiences, knowledge, and ideas. However, it also includes your collection of your personal beliefs, values, habits, feelings, experiences, observations and learning. Everything comes together to help your process information, finalize decisions and generate actions.
When things aren’t working in your business, maybe it’s time to check if your business mindset needs to change.
Business Mindset – two kinds
Some businesses have a fixed business mindset that remains stuck in a comfort zone.
Other businesses promote a growth business mindset that gets out of a comfort zone.
You have a fixed business mindset when there’s an attitude of –
– business as usual
– being skeptical of ideas or improvements
– achieving the initial goals is enough, new goal planning not needed
– unwilling to allocate more time or money
– avoiding failure by playing it safe
– creating growth would require too much time and energy
– updating not needed, the technology works just fine
– blaming mistakes on someone else
You have a growth business mindset when there’s an attitude of –
– thinking in terms of potentials and opportunities
– being optimistic about trying new ideas
– creating a new goal plan every year with monthly reviews and revisions
– investing wisely with more time and money
– seeing failures as the best learning experiences
– growing, expanding and evolving are worth time and energy
– staying technologically current streamlines a business
– recognizing mistakes makes a business accountable
I hope this gets you thinking about your business mindset.
As the end of the year approaches, you’ll be evaluating your progress and determining if you’ve met the goal targets you set out earlier this year.
You don’t have to wait until the New Year to begin because there’s still plenty of time to make a successful mindset shift in your business right now.

thank you for your wonderful contribution for 2017 xxx
Here’s to another exciting and mindset expanding New Year, Suzie.
Important, and well-timed, message! I definitely have a growth mindset, and my focus for 2018 is to make my life and my business to the “next level”. To me, that means doing something to scare myself at least once each day. Best wishes to you for the New Year!
That’s a unique approach to scare yourself every day. How about making it a challenge instead?
I’m putting the final touches to my Business Plan for 2018, Joyce and looking at the parameters in your post, I;m definitely a Growth Mindset person. Technology was a biggie for me in 2017 and I feel keeping up with the changes and knowing when to adapt and when to recognize a shiny object is key to staying in the flow if we want success in our endeavors.
Merry Christmas1
I think technology has been a big challenge for all of us. I wish that everything would work smoothly in the background. But, I find myself spending time keeping up with it. Yet, at the same time, I’m challenging my brain in new areas. Best wishes for the New year.
