108: Mindset vs. Ability: Where to Put Your Focus for Success

Purpose & Profit Club™ – The Nonprofit Fundraising Podcast

Send us a text

Is mindset more important than natural ability for achieving success? This idea is what I’m chatting about in today’s episode of The Purpose & Profit Club™ Podcast using examples from the Olympics and Neflix’s SPRINT documentary – specifically Noah Lyles’ belief in his inevitable success. Even more, I argue that mindset, rather than just pure athletic ability, is what drives success. I back this up with scientific studies showing how our beliefs and perceptions can actually influence our physical outcomes. When you listen in, you’ll learn the importance of claiming your goals publicly, reframing negative thoughts, and approaching your work with a growth mindset. By the end of the episode, I hope that you will feel encouraged to adopt strategies like journaling, meditation, and joining my coaching program to develop a "mindset ninja" approach to unlock the true potential of you and your nonprofit organization.

Topics:

• Lessons from 100M gold medalist, Noah Lyles on drawing your line in the sand, clicking into your mindset, and owning your inevitable success
• Playing with the idea of your nonprofit setting an expansive stretch goal and dicing out the fears that come with this in order to overcome them
• How your beliefs influence your reality and parsing out the difference between natural physical ability and being able to adopt a ninja mindset
• After understanding the power of mindset, learning how to apply this to your specific goals for your nonprofit or as a nonprofit executive
• Choosing fundraising that is filled with ease rather than believing the age old narrative that it has to be hard
• Remembering that “failure” is not a personal attack on your character and learning lessons that you can take from each campaign
