Obtaining a Growth Mindset

By Get To Traction • Issue #37 • View online

This is something I see often; a founder launching a high-growth startup and all of the tactics are in place for growth but they just can’t get that initial traction going. Corporate life teaches a fixed mindset. To some degree, so do traditional service-based businesses. But a growth mindset, one where anything is possible, is what’s needed for a startup. Just because you can’t today doesn’t mean you won’t be able to tomorrow. Learn, grow, execute.

Whelp - I have been publishing GTT for a year now and unfortunately it is time to say goodbye! I’ll be heads down helping founders launch and grow their companies but that can include YOU! I’m still available to connect, bounce ideas around, or get you plugged in to the startup life.

I’m ALSO still exploring ways to connect founders like to you to the overwhelming number of pitch competitions, corporate challenges, industry awards, and other deadline-driven opportunities that can level-up your startup. If you’ve got opinions on this I want to hear them!

Until we meet again, thank you for letting me into your inbox and sharing all of the awesome content around early-stage startups. You got this!
