Developing Your Internal Growth Mindset

We love the thought of growth. Growth in ourselves, our client base, our market share and our profits.

- Steve Reid

To achieve this though, one needs to consider how to develop our own ‘growth mindset' first - not just in terms of methodologies and strategies. With that in mind, I have selected quotations from well-known people that have realised that external growth can only come after the internal growth mindset has been developed. I want to focus on certain words or phrases in each of the quotations.

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on FIRE. - Arnold H. Glasgow

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is famous in the technology industry for what’s called his ‘reality distortion field’. His charismatic personality and ability to get others to see things his way was so powerful that employees would attempt to accomplish impossible tasks at his urging.

Jobs was Apple’s number one salesman and the chief communicator of Apple’s vision. Apple has whole departments of marketing and public relations experts, but Jobs was the person they put on stage to announce new products or technology, because no one else could communicate his vision with the same passion. His key success appears to be that before he brought a brilliant product to market, he opened the way for successful engagement by firstly, setting himself on fire.

You never know what results will come from your ACTION. But if you do nothing, there will be no results. - Mahatma Gandhi
