When you want, you can. “Tired? Dors earlier. Not in good shape? Do more sport. (…) No studies? Read books. (…) Too hard? Try, fail, learn. And start again.” Here, in one Linkedin publication succinct, the mentality that Anthony Bourbon, founder of the start-up feed (which offers meal substitutes in the form of diluting powders), recommends you to have a successful life.
At the time of the right resolutions, it is always the intention that counts. Like our entrepreneur with a martial tone, you can choose to enter in 2023 with a steel mind, to progress in your career, develop your intelligence and talents and advance your business. That’s good, there is once again a concept to designate this will: it is the state of mind, or mentality, of growth, the “Growth Mindset”.
It is often necessary to turn to the gold mine of personal development to find this expression, here in a book published in 2006, Mindset. The New Psychology of Success (dare to succeed! Change state of mind in French), from American psychologist Carol S. Dweck.

Are you a good football player who has always been angry with math? Impossible that you can one day solve a trinomial of the second degree.

The “Growth Mindset” is also one of the five “soft skills” (behavioral skills) cardinal of the Blablacar HR service: “Share More. Learn More (Party more, learns more). This first” blablaprinciple “Undoubtedly translates how much learning has always been an engine for me, explained the founder Frédéric Mazzella to decision -makers Magazine. If I don’t learn anymore, I fad. For a team, such” Growth Mindset “is a guarantee of connection With the real, progression compared to the obstacles that can stand on the way. In short, fail, Learn, Succeed (fails, learns, successful). “
