Does Mindset Affects Success In Marketing?

Various people misunderstand or ignore the concept of mindset and how key it is to gain success in Marketing or any other field. Lets take an example, if you are given a work of lets say, painting a giant house. And it is given that you will only get paid after you finished the work. What will you do then?


Will you hate your work until you get paid or you try to change your focus to something else which excites you and try to link the idea with your job or work. Well, it sounds very hypothetical, isn't it? I can prove it to you. There is a famous experiment which was done on kids.


Kids were sent in a room under camera supervision with some candy put on a table. And they were told to not to eat it. Few kids ate that candy and few kids didn't. The kids who were able to resist the urge of not eating the candy, all of them had something in common. when they were looked in the camera, they were able to change their focus to something else rather than the candy.


And one more thing which came out from that experiment was, the kids who were able to resist the desire of eating the candy were more strong willed and were more adjusted according to their situation. This was experiment of delayed gratification. You can read it too, by searching the term delayed gratification on your search engine.


So, my point was not praising those children but showing you, how great of importance plays mindset in our day to day actions. If you do not take care of your mindset, may be you are aiming at something and you end up somewhere else.


see, as the journey of thousand miles begins when you take the first step. You start changing your life and situations by working on your mindset first. In military training, they first work on candidate brain by following various exercises.


So,be cautious about your mindset and watch where your focus goes.
