You can build a life of purpose, passion, and impact – all you need is beginner’s pluck! In a recent episode of “It’s a Good Life,” entrepreneur, author and keynote speaker Liz Bohannon shared how to channel your inner beginner and achieve phenomenal success in work and life. Here are some of the top takeaways:
A Beginner’s Spirit is a Superpower
Beginners have a certain energy and perspective that really helps them to succeed. They’re often more creative, more innovative and more likely to collaborate, for example. Even if you no longer think of yourself as a beginner, it’s vital to always nurture and tap into your inner beginner’s spirit. You don’t have to apologize for this or be ashamed of it. It’s actually one of your superpowers. Instead of trying to hide it, recognize it, channel it and then maximize it!
Top Leaders Have a Beginner’s Mindset
Becoming a great leader isn’t just about pursuing mastery or expertise. It’s also about constantly diving back into the learning journey and becoming a beginner over and over again. Those who are the most comfortable with, and ideally even excited about that kind of cycle, go on to be the most relevant, compelling, inspirational, and impactful leaders.
Your Dream Attracts Your Team
It’s vital to be really intentional about who you surround yourself with. Is your team stuck in the past, wasting time and energy brooding on the “good old days,” or are they focused on the current environment and possible opportunities? A beginner’s perspective and mindset can really set you apart, and it’s a lot easier to recognize opportunities and to get ahead when you have other people in your corner who think the same way that you do! Courage is contagious and how we see the world, with all of its challenges and opportunities, is heavily influenced by who we surround ourselves with. Remember – your dream attracts your team!
If you want to tap into your beginner’s mindset and foster curiosity, innovation and purpose in your work and life, listen to the latest episode of “It’s a Good Life.”
