You Are What You Think


One of the cornerstones of coaching here at ActionCOACH of Akron/Canton is the principle that the results we realize are a function of how we think coupled with what we do with that thinking - otherwise known as BE DO HAVE.

I was reading a post in Guy Kawasaki's blog about entrepreneurs and the struggle we have dealing with all of the negative comments and feedback about our business, our skills and so on.

In his post, Kawasaki linked to an article published in Scientific American by Carol Dweck concerning kids and their ability to learn. In essence she states that our ability to learn new things and grow past barriers in front of us is not a function of a fixed intelligence quotient. Instead our positive effort and mindset govern our ability to learn and grow.

In other words...You are what you think.

Let me know what you think by posting a comment below.
