What is mindset?
 Mindset
– A mindset refers to a set of assumptions,
methods or notations held by one or more
people or groups of people which is so
established that it creates a powerful incentive
within these people or groups to continue to
adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or
tools.
– This phenomenon of cognitive bias is also
sometimes described as mental inertia,
"groupthink", or a "paradigm", and it is often
difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis
and decision making processes.

What is mindset?
 In a fixed mindset, people believe
that their basic qualities, like their
intelligence or talent, are simply fixed
traits (rigid). They spend their time
documenting their intelligence or
talent instead of developing them.
They also believe that talent alone
creates success—without effort.
21-03-2015 10
What is mindset?
 In a growth mindset, people believe that
their most basic abilities can be developed
through dedication and hard work—brains
and talent are just the starting point. This
view creates a love of learning and a
resilience that is essential for great
accomplishment. Virtually all great people
(including entrepreneurs) have had these
qualities.
