Grow Your Mind, Grow Your Early Childhood Business

The seeds we plant in our minds play a key role in determining how and if success will grow from those planted seeds. Our mindset becomes the lens through which we set our goals for the future. It directly impacts our ability to control the chaos and to grow our success. It is in our nature to make assumptions. To take whatever we experienced in the past and allow it to shape how we see the future. And this affects how we set our goals for the future.

Our mindset can make a major impact on the course of how we live our lives. Oftentimes we allow what we believe or expect to influence our reality of what is possible. This can have both positive and negative consequences. It comes down to two ways of thinking: scarcity thinking or abundance thinking.

Deepak Chopra goes into more detail on why fostering an abundance mindset has become widely recognized as a beneficial endeavor. The prevailing belief is that creating an abundance mindset allows you to:

Live an unlimited, full, and satisfying life
Demonstrate happiness despite circumstance
Give and receive affections and items of high value with ease
Feel plentiful, creative, and inspired
Take full advantage of and enjoy new opportunities that come your way
Create memorable and meaningful life experiences
Feel secure and confident in your life endeavors and create successful outcomes

By understanding the signs and signals of both an abundance and scarcity mindset, you can begin to build awareness about where you might be landing on the spectrum and how to make simple changes to help you find the right path.

We have created a Scarcity vs Abundance Thinking worksheet to help you identify some of this thinking as you operate your early childhood business. We have listed specific examples found when operating an early childhood business. Use this worksheet to help you identify where you may need to shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance.

We go into more detail about planting the seeds of abundance in your life helping you create more success with Deepak Chopra’s 10 ways to create an abundance mindset.

Practice Gratitude
Believe the Sky’s the Limit
Cultivate and Share Your Passions and Purpose

While it may not be completely natural at first, you can begin to create an abundance mindset and live a meaningful life and find more success by taking consistent action. As you expand your awareness and notice any scarcity thoughts that might arise, use these action steps to tap into your own depth of abundance thinking and create more success.
