040 - The ReWork Book Club with Mary Fisk-Taylor

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome to the first episode of The ReWork Book Club with my book bestie, Mary Fisk-Taylor. We both agree that much of the success we have achieved in our businesses can be attributed to the lessons we’ve learned from books. This book club series is all about distilling the key ideas from some of our favorite books to show you how they made a difference in our business, how we applied them, and how they can best help you in your business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode we discuss Carol Dweck’s</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mindset,</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Effortless</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">by Greg McKeown.</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mindset</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">was gifted to Mary during a particularly challenging time in her life, and it completely changed her perspective on just about everything.</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Effortless</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, which she read afterwards, then helped her to put in place and sustain the practices which help her thrive. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some of the key concepts that we discuss today are the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset (and how to cultivate the latter), learning fast versus learning well, letting go of perfectionism, and residual results. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are all works in progress, and learning to look at the inevitable challenges of life as opportunities rather than problems will be transformative in ways you didn’t know were possible! </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here’s a glance at this episode…</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[01:02] What you can expect from the first episode of the ReWork Book Club!</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "f
