How critical is the mindset of a startup founder for its success?

@manojranaweera The short answer in this case it’s the mindset that allows you to achieve the final outcome you were aiming for with your startup. Digging deeper, I love Carol Dweck’s mindset definition the most. It’s the self-perception or “self-theory” that people hold about themselves. Starting with this definition, mindset determines your version of reality. It controls your perception over situations and consequently your actions. It dictates your logic, beliefs, and you’ll think, feel and act accordingly. Based on the two types we know about, fixed or growth mindset, obviously we should aim for the growth mindset most of the time but there is a nuance to it because you can be successful having a fixed mindset about some things and growth mindset about other things. It’s a dynamic choice that you are capable of making. When it comes to a successful startup built, your growth mindset will need to lead the way but also should be altered based on the situation. It’s almost like an art form you can master once you start the journey of knowing yourself and continuing to learn and evolve.

@cristinaimre I asked for this, I suppose - I was expecting something simple and fun.

@manojranaweera The funny part of miscommunication. :)

@between_team I agree 100% and we can see this all over the place, and in our lives. With the wrong mindset you can sabotage all the goodies life gives you.
