38. Unique Advantage: Growth Mindset

Jan 12, 2021

Having a Growth Mindset gives you an edge in life. Over the next couple of episodes, I want to talk to you over the next couple of episodes, about the unique advantages that are available to you, not necessarily over others, but for you and your previous results and accomplishments and I  believe it starts with defining your fixed mindset from your growth mindset.
