Brian Bogert on "Mindset" by Carol Dweck

One Book That Changed My Life

When both a top coach and the head psychologist for The Navy Seals recommend a book, you know there’s something really impactful about it. That book is "Mindset" by Carol Dweck, and it truly gets to the heart of what makes us pull the throttle back on our own progress.

What is the difference between the fixed and growth mindset, and how does it show up in our businesses and our lives in general?

In this episode, passionate performance coach, motivational speaker, business strategist, top sales professional and philanthropic leader, Brian Bogert shares how he implemented the book’s breakthrough idea, and its timeless approach to mindset.

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

The truth about performance

Most people think they are stuck for the wrong reasons in their lives - they put their lack of progress down to wrong tactics and strategies. What actually holds us back are the emotional triggers, behavioral patterns and environmental conditioning that make us our own bottleneck.

Fixed vs. growth mindset

The fixed mindset is that we’re born with a set of tools, abilities and skills that we’ll have to use for the rest of our lives, and that there’s no way to change them. In a growth mindset, we’re moldable - we evolve and progress overtime and and change the tools we’re working with. A fixed mindset focuses on outcomes, outward validation and an outcome we can’t control. Growth focuses on the process.

Detach and amplify

When you’re worried about the outcome, you take a step back from the process. By putting the intentional thought process around the actions we can control every single day, that drives toward the outcome we desire.
