Our mindset—which is made up of our inner state, attitude and thinking processes—produces outer behavioral actions. All successful change requires a change in mindset. It is our mindset that determines what we do. And it is what we do that determines the outcomes we achieve.
To create the map The Success MindsetMaps™ , we have applied the distinctions of Success Factor Modeling™ to analyze well-known entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs of Apple Inc., Richard Branson of the Virgin Group, Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, Howard Schultz of Starbucks, Muhammed Yunus of Grameen Bank, Anita Roddick of The Body Shop, and many others. In addition to the key elements of entrepreneurial mindset—passion, vision, mission, ambition and role—we have established a number of other specific patterns of mindset, behaviors and habits that support Next Generation Entrepreneurship and Conscious Leadership.The Success Mindset Map™ identifies three main areas of a successful mindset:
Our Meta Mindset has to do with our fundamental attitude toward our work, our world and our place in that world. Our Meta Mindset is essentially made up of our sense of passion, vision, mission, ambition and role.
Macro Mindset relates to the mental disciplines and practices required to bring focus to the big-picture of our venture and begin to put it into action. This includes managing our energy and focus, seeking honest and frequent feedback, scanning for opportunities, dealing effectively with risks and adversity, and recharging and balancing ourselves.
Our Micro Mindset produces and guides the specific actions necessary build a sustainable venture. It determines our ongoing priorities such as clarifying purpose and motivation, developing our product or service, generating interest and revenue, growing and aligning an effective team, acquiring necessary resources, expanding our business, creating value for stakeholders and building win-win partnerships that enrich and leverage available resources.
In summary, the The Success MindsetMap specifies which elements of the three areas of mindset, Meta, Macro and Micro, are most important and relevant for achieving the various core outcomes defined by the Circle of Success. It helps you to identify your particular aptitudes and tendencies and to know which ones you need to prioritize and strengthen in order to take your project or venture to the next level.
