When something goes wrong in your business, what’s your first reaction? Do you spiral into self-doubt, or ask yourself what you can learn from this? That instant response reveals your mindset …and it’s either propelling your business forward or holding it back. 

Today, we dive into one of the most powerful concepts in business psychology: fixed versus growth mindset. It’s not just theory. It’s the reason some business owners thrive while others stay stuck. 

We unpack how your mindset impacts your skills, resilience, relationships and results – and what to do about it if you’re serious about changing your trajectory.

In this episode you’ll learn: 

🔨 Your mindset shapes how you respond to setbacks, challenges, and criticism. 
🔨 Mindset isn’t binary – you can be fixed in one area, growth in another. 
🔨 Feedback isn’t personal – it’s information to help you level up and grow. 
🔨 Setbacks aren’t proof you’ve failed; they’re data to guide your next move. 
🔨 Language like “I can’t” or “I’m not good” reveals mindset traps. 
🔨 Shifting from fixed to growth starts with awareness of your inner dialogue.
