Let Go Of Your Scarcity Mindset & Cultivate Abundance

Did you know the person that succeeded started in the same place you did when they began their business? Many people think they need to have more than they have to get where they want to be. With 30 years of business transformation experience, I’ve witnessed how the right mindset leads to success. So, let’s explore the concepts of abundance and scarcity mindsets and how they can impact your personal and professional life. 

An abundance mindset is one that believes in the availability of unlimited resources and opportunities, while a scarcity mindset sees the world as having limited resources and opportunities. Understanding key differences is vital, as your mindset significantly shapes how you tackle life, ultimately impacting your success. It’s time to dive into the characteristics of each mindset and unpack the role they play in accomplishing your goals.

Characteristics of an Abundance Mindset

• Belief in unlimited resources: Those with an abundance mindset believe there is additionally plenty of money, potential partners, and opportunities in the world for themselves and those around them to find happiness and success. This belief allows them to be more optimistic and open to new possibilities.
• Positive outlook on life: An abundance mindset cultivates positivity, boosting motivation and enhancing your odds of goal achievement.
• Willingness to take risks: With a belief in abundant opportunities, those with an abundance mindset are more likely to take risks and seize new opportunities. Therefore, this includes maintaining a growth mindset and being open to continual development.
• Altruism: Believing in plentiness also encourages a generous spirit, as you believe that there is enough to go around for everyone. This belief eliminates the fear of failure, allowing self-focus and preventing jealousy and competition.

Characteristics of a Scarcity Mindset

• Scarcity belief: Those with scarcity mindsets view resources as limited, leading to a competitive life and business approach.
• Negative outlook on life: A scarcity mindset breeds negativity and pessimism, which can hinder motivation, create unneeded boundaries, and make success seem unattainable. 
• Fear of taking risks: With a belief in lacking resources, those with a scarcity mindset are more likely to play it safe and avoid taking risks, potentially missing out on valuable opportunities. Maintaining a fixed mindset will trick you into believing your abilities are predetermined, hindering growth. 
• Selfishness: A scarcity mindset can lead to a focus on self-preservation and a reluctance to help others, as you feel the need to protect your own interests above all else. Selfishness can be detrimental to business owners trying to manage client relationships and team member productivity.  

How to Cultivate an Abundance Mindset

• Giving more: One way to start embracing an abundance mindset is by giving more, whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or sharing your knowledge and expertise. Helping others will show you that resources are not scarce and that you too can learn from others. 
• Surrounding yourself with positive influences: It doesn’t take long to basically discover if someone has a scarcity or abundance mindset. Basically spend time with those who have an abundance mindset; their positivity and optimism are contagious. Basically, you are who you surround yourself with!
• Setting ambitious goals: Set big, ambitious, stretch goals for yourself and believe that you have the resources and opportunities to achieve them.
