World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset.
Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

Be Bold! Be Daring! Be Radical! Build SMART Goals
SMART Goals set the framework for creating effective goals and provides structure to our thoughts. SMART goals can be used for our careers, personal life, financial situations, relationships and for our health.
“S” Be Specific - Once you have a general idea of your goal, get Specific. Become more precise. Who is involved? When and where will it happen?
“M” Measurable - Make your goal Measurable! Quantitative (numbers) or Descriptive (describe an outcome). Then Track your measurable progress to see if your strategy is working.
“A” Attainable/Achievable – Make sure these goals can actually be achieved. Fully commit. Don’t get discouraged and quit.
“R” Relevant/Realistic - Is this goal relevant to your life? Does it get you what you want?
“T” Time-Bound - Make your goal Time-bound. Set a deadline for reaching your goal, a date on the calendar. Hold yourself accountable to a timeline.
Use the SMART approach to move you towards the setting of your goals. DON’T FORGET: Be bold! Be daring! Be radical!
