163. Using a ‘Beginner’s Mindset’ as an Expert
It’s a privilege to get to share pockets of wisdom and inspiration with you that I receive in my consistent mission to educate myself from trusted and powerful sources! In today’s episode, I’m going to dive deeper into a concept called the “Beginner’s Mindset” from Sam Zell, real estate billionaire while also expanding on Simon Sinek’s “Infinite Game” theory. We will discuss how you can adopt these strategies in your own business, career, and in life. I’ve included some reflective questions at the end of this episode to challenge you and provide a starting point when it comes to building your ‘Beginner’s Mindset’ as you continue to grow!
Episode Highlights:
• [3:40] - How this beginner’s mindset of a willingness to learn can help you and its significance.
• [10:20] - Understanding “infinite vs. finite games” and why you shouldn’t get trapped in short term thinking.
• [15:35] - Reframing and embracing fear to serve you as a motivator.
• [19:10] - How you can take action through these 4 reflective questions to help you see from a beginners mindset:
Reflection Questions:
1) When faced with a new challenge, do I approach it with curiosity and a willingness to learn, or do I rely on past experiences and stick to what I know?
2) How comfortable am I with saying, "I don't know" or "I need help"?
3) When was the last time I actively sought out new information, skills, or feedback that challenged my current way of thinking?
4) How do I respond when something doesn’t go as planned? Do I see it as a failure, or as an opportunity to learn and improve?

Book: Am I Being Too Subtle? By Sam Nell
