A bit of Googling says there are 5 fixed Mindsets. I am sure we all have a few, but how can we break from any negative fixed mindsets we may have? You know, the voice on one shoulder telling the voice on the other shoulder to give up. My reply would be 'Just Do it'. Walk down that new road and see where it takes you.

Love this! I haven’t yet managed to get into podcasts, I’m usually more of a reader. Though I like the idea of them I’m too impatient and there’s often too much preamble to keep my attention, but this short, to the point, insanely valuable mini pod is perfect!! Thanks lovely 🩵

I like the visual of a jigsaw puzzle 🧩as we show up and create more and more value for our community.

Thanks Claire! This time last year I hadn't even started my Substack so thanks for prompting me to acknowledge how far I've come 😊 xx

Thanks for the Pep talk Claire! The value part is so hard isn’t it, we are somewhat constrained by the Substack culture of low monthly subscriptions, despite the huge value to our readers. A work in progress! Have a good week xx ✨

Indeed and I think that connect to our 'early supporters' is a huge part of the key in building the future vision. You're one of mine. 💖
