Three (3) Mindsets For Exponential Growth

65% of startups failed due to founder and team issues.
  • Fear / Stress
  • Burnout / Depression
  • Time Starvation / Overwhelm
  • Co-Founder Conflict
  • Team Communication / Trust

There wrong mindsets and cultures.
  • Unhealthy relationship with anxiety (Control Junk)
  • Identification with the company (I am My Company, I am Game-Changer)
  • Self beat up (Take over Responsible of Failure)

Moving wrong mindsets to right mindsets help startup grows.

3 healthy mindsets and cultures for exponential growth:
  • Selfless Service (How am I being asked to serve today?)
  • Bigger than Me (I am simply a vessel to be of service. Don't mix your personality with your company. You can hire any CEO to run a company. Company Success x Your Success and Company Failures x Your Failures. It is just a separate component to learn.) 
  • Growth Mindset (Don't think failure is the end of the world. It's all about learning, growing, embracing challenger)

Book - Workplace by design


Space is an organization's second most valuable asset. Yet little attention is paid to how it supports the new ways in which today's organizations operate---teamwork, flattened hierarchies, telecommuting, collaborating across functions. Workplace by Design shows CEOs and managers alike how to put aside and rethink conventional, awkward notions of space utilization based on hierarchy and status--notions that pit people against each other in turf wars, tear apart teams, and tie up company cash. Using illustrative examples from Digital Equipment Corporation, Steelcase, and others, the authors show how team environments, non-territorial offices and other strategies can support business objectives, energize employees, and produce a more competitive organization.

A book in my bucket.
