The opposite of this fixed mindset is a growth mindset. This is when a person believes that all of life is fluid. Yes, you can be bad at something, but it is only because you have not taken the time or attention to get better at it. The growth mindset is perfectly encapsulated in one word: “yet.” “I can’t write code … yet.” “I can’t write a business plan … yet.” “I can’t find a co-founder … yet.” This three-letter word opens up a whole realm of possibilities.
