5 Ways to Practice a Growth Mindset in Business

While you can’t control every aspect of your business, one thing you can control is keeping a growth mindset. By prioritizing this mindset, you will set yourself and your business up for success. Becoming a better leader, being able to better handle challenges, and business growth are just a few benefits of having a growth mindset.

So, developing your mindset is important. But once you’ve developed a growth mindset, how do you continue to practice it? Here are 5 of the best ways to practice a growth mindset in your business. 

1. Make Learning a Habit

The thing about business is that it never stops changing and evolving with the economy and world around it. If you think you have learned everything there is to learn in your niche, and you hunker down and try to run things the same way forever, your business isn’t going to make it very far. 

There are a few options that are available to help make learning a habit in your business, including:

  1. Online Courses
  2. Podcasts in business and your niche
  3. Business mentors
  4. Guide books
  5. Social Media

Keep your mind open, and be willing to learn something new every day. 

2. Have a Positive Outlook

This doesn’t mean you have to be “happy go lucky” 24/7. This simply means that even when things look rough, you bring a positive outlook to the room. Emotions in your business environment are contagious, and it’s important that you make them as positive as possible.

Keeping a gratitude journal or find another way of tracking things you are grateful for. This is a good method to having a positive outlook because it encourages you to search for something good in each day. 

3. Reinvest Into your Company and Team

One of the most obvious ways to reinvest in your company and team is to make sure that you are putting money into your company and team so that they can reach their full potential. You have to be willing to show that you put your money where your mouth is, whether that means you make sure you are paying your employees generous salaries for their positions or keeping an office environment that is clean and comfortable to work in.

Another way you can invest in your team is by providing them with educational and professional development opportunities that will help grow the business. This can often be scary for business owners, as you risk putting the money in only for an employee to leave with that education, but without taking risks there are no rewards in the business world.

4. Be Ready to Change and Adapt

Having a growth mindset means that you are willing to see where things need to change in order to be more efficient or to meet your customers where they are at.

Be open to trying new strategies in your business when you experience a setback or downturn in the current plan. Show your employees that you have a growth mindset by giving them opportunities to provide input on ways to adapt the plan, then be willing to take a risk on their ideas. This builds trust and confidence in you and your team that you can’t get way other than to learn and grow together in a positive environment. 

5. Focus on the Things that Help Growth

Sometimes growth and change can be scary, especially when you are a business owner with a lot on the line. This can make you want to hold things tighter, which can then send you into a scarcity mindset if you aren’t careful. 

Look around and see what areas in your business you can grow. Take baby steps, and build up your own confidence so that you can then pass that along to your employees.

Invest in employees that have the same growth mindset. This will prove to be a resource that will pay huge dividends in your business. If you have employees that want to learn, and feel that they are an integral part of your business, they will remain loyal and keep the growth mindset flourishing. 

Make sure that you are open to answering and asking questions. We all have something important to contribute to the world, and when we are working together that is where the magic in business truly happens. No two people will have the exact same solution to a problem. 

Some of the most successful businesses in the market are the ones that are authentic and prioritize their customers and their satisfaction. When you are only focused on selling, it can come off as overly pushy or a scam. With the customer’s ability to literally buy anything they want at their fingertips, you have to focus on your message and why you wanted to start a business in the first place. 

Be authentically you. Believe and invest in your employees. Always be willing to learn and grow not only as a business but also as a person. Write your original vision down, and don’t get lost in the process.
