079: The passive and Active mindset - Jai Gevers (Encore)

Listen Later

Jai shares two different mindsets related to ownership and the way that those with a passive mindset interact with their careers versus those with an active mindset.

The Passive Mindset:

  • Thinking the world happens to you.
  • Finds excuses for behavior.
  • Reactionary.
  • Do not take responsibility.
  • Confuses failure with destiny.

    • The Active Mindset:

    • Plays with the hand your dealt.
  • Proactive as opposed to reactive.
  • Bias toward action.
  • Solution-oriented.
  • Goal-oriented.
  • Takes responsibility for their action.

    • Tweetable Quotes:

    • “It's not about the hand your dealt, it's what you do with them."
  • "Fault is backward-looking, responsibility is forward-looking."
