S1. Ep6 | Abundance Mindset vs. Lack Mentality

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alright, this week we are going to talk about the elephant in the room. This is the difference between an <a href= "https://www.inc.com/angelina-zimmerman/discover-the-7-key-traits-of-an-abundant-mindset.html"> abundance mindset</a> and a <a href= "https://www.evelynlim.com/how-to-overcome-the-lack-mentality-of-not-having/"> lack mentality</a>. I’m going to spell it out so that it's clear and so you can see where LACK (my least favorite 4 letter word) is creeping into your thoughts and manifesting more of itself to your determent. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First though, let’s give you some research facts for your professionals out there who need them. The quote unquote “Abundance Mindset” is a term coined by Stephen Covey in his 1989 best seller The <a href= "https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-7-Habits-of-Highly-Effective-People/Stephen-R-Covey/9781982137137"> 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</a> ( a book I highly recommend and its <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-Personal-Workbook/dp/0743250974"> accompanying workbook</a></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-Personal-Workbook/dp/0743250974">.</a> Both are linked in show notes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The definition is simply the attitude that “there is plenty for everyone” aka plenty of wealth, plenty of prestige, plenty of food, plenty of optimism, plenty of success, etc. fill in the blank. <strong>AND this definition also includes the WILLINGNESS to be OPEN to the option that there is in fact PLENTY to be had. </strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, this is a very active thing to hold an abundance mindset. You must cultivate a belief that there is in fact plenty and remain always open to that fact, willingly. You can’t force yourself, or trick yourself, or co-dependent yourself into believing there is enough for everyone (in fact MORE than enough, there is plenty!) Plenty
