Some people spend beyond their financial means and then rob Peter to pay Paul. Wrestling for too many months, and at the end of the month, still not having what is needed financially for the business or the family. On face value, the nice clothing and luxury cars make it appear as if we had reached some point of accomplishment, but based upon whose values? Do those values reflect legacy, wealth, and a sense of freedom? Can we agree our results are based on a mindset, networking, and how clearly we envision the desired goals?
Mentality means mindset, and mindset means a way of thinking. To be totally honest, on all levels, mentally, physically, and spiritually, my mentality needed an adjustment. I adjust myself regularly, and I’m sure your mentality needed an adjustment as well. There are so many types of mentalities, such as the crabs in a barrel, thug mentality, laager mentality, mamba mentality, silo mentality, and prosperity. Let’s see if we can identify your mindset.
The Crabs in a Barrel Mentality – If I cannot have it, neither can you. Your efforts are undermined by other people’s mindsets. They try to break someone else’s spirit when they see them on their way to success.
The Thug Mentality – This person is a real one who never folds. The mentality of a thug consists of a gang, clicks, and gangsta life.
Laager Mentality – This is when an individual is not willing to accept new ideas. Individuals with a Laager Mentality have defensive and polarizing discussions and thoughts.
Silo Mentality – These individuals are reluctant to share information with others. Having a silo mentality reduces efficiency and could damage the culture of an organization or industry.
Mamba Mentality – People with this mindset constantly try to become the best version of themselves. “We do not quit. We do not cower. We do not run. We endure and conquer. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining, and get to work with the same belief, drive, and conviction as ever. Mamba out” stated Kobe Bryant.
Prosperity Mentality – Moving from the surviving mode to the prosperity mode or consciousness. The prosperity mentality is abundance thinking. The belief there is opportunity everywhere. The mentality of how much can I acquire? Change from the spending to saving and investing mentality.
I just named a few mentalities above that the Young Entrepreneurs of Young Sharks (Season 1) and myself have been exploring. Which mindset can you identify with? As an entrepreneur your mindset is everything. Entrepreneurship can cure poverty and violence. Entrepreneurship is an open check, and no stipulations on how much money you can earn. Our results are based on mindset, networking, and how clearly we envision the desired results.
Since networking is a part of getting what we want out of life. The youth that are a part of the Young Sharks project have been networking with each other since January of this year.
