10 TIPS TO UNLOCK YOUR GROWTH MINDSET
A growth mindset is essential for success in any endeavor, and your private practice is no exception. A growth mindset means having an open mind and being willing to learn from mistakes and setbacks while also taking steps toward growth and progress.
Why is “mindset” such a popular buzzword right now? Because it has the power to change everything. The growth mindset does not mean you will always succeed, but it does mean that you are open to growth and progress no matter your situation.
In this blog post, we will explore ten tips to help unlock your growth mindset and achieve success in your private practice. With these tips, you will be able to get out of the rut of stagnation that many practitioners find themselves in when they become complacent with their current status quo.
So let’s dive in!
1. YOUR BELIEFS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU THINK
The way you view your intelligence and ability to learn has a significant impact on your performance. If you approach a task or new idea with the attitude of, “I can’t do this” or “I’m not smart enough,” you’ll find it much more complicated than if you appreciate your potential, come with an open mind, and are ready to learn.
The “I can’t do this” way of thinking is called a “fixed mindset.” Note that a “fixed mindset” has nothing to do with your intelligence or ability and everything to do with your attitude! A growth mindset, in contrast, is a way of thinking that allows you to embrace change, be more open to mastering new skills, and view growth as an endless possibility.
Which mindset do you have right now? Oftentimes we don’t realize when we’re seeing the world through the lens of a fixed mindset. Developing a growth mindset helps you break through these limiting beliefs that can hold you back when it comes to growth in your private practice.
2. SETBACKS ARE BENEFICIAL
It’s only natural that we try to avoid setbacks. No one wants to make a mistake that prevents you from achieving your goals.
It may seem counterintuitive, but a growth mindset teaches you that setbacks can be beneficial. The key to developing a growth mindset is learning to see setbacks and failures as valuable learning experiences by looking for the silver lining. Trying to identify the “lesson” can be a helpful way to extract some positivity, even when the setback feels painful at the time.
The truth is that failure may be your best teacher. You can learn much more from your slip-ups than from successes or anything you read in a book or website. The trial and error process allows you to learn from your mistakes (and accomplishments!), which can expedite your process and ultimately significantly contribute to your success.
Your natural fear of failure can also be a significant stumbling block and greatly hinder your ability to start! I know this is sometimes easier said than done but it’s critically important to lean into “failure” with the intention of learning from it, especially in building your business!

3. YOU’RE NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE
The fixed mindset says you can’t do X, Y, and Z because you’re an “X kind of person.” You see yourself and your experiences as “static” and unable to change versus recognizing that you are an evolving human being with an excellent capacity for change!
However, if you embrace the growth mindset, you recognize that you’re capable of never-ending growth. You’re not the same as you were ten years ago (or even one year ago), and you acknowledge that you’ll continue to grow, evolve, and be different a year from now.
With a growth mindset, you can keep growing and expanding your capabilities in various areas. Don’t limit yourself to what you think you know or who you think you are now — growth is always possible.
The fantastic thing here is that at any given moment; you can choose growth over fear and create the private practice of your dreams.
