When you have a fixed mindset, you take failure as evidence that you're not good at something.</p><p>On the other hand, a <i>growth mindset </i>is a way of viewing yourself and the world that says, "<i>I may not know how to do this now, but with effort, I can learn.</i>" People with a growth mindset believe they can learn from challenges and setbacks--that they have constant potential for growth, change, and improvement.

And, most importantly, you'll find the tools you need to transform a fixed mindset into a growth mindset, make change happen, and reach your highest aspirations. </p><p>If you want to go from "<i>No, I can't do it</i>," to "<i>Yes, bring it on!</i>" this workbook will show you how to build a growth mindset and boost your confidence, so you can be your very best.
