Focus On Getting Better

By Erin Hern | in

| 1/12/2012 - 10:50 am

One of my favorite blogs all year was Nine Things Successful People Do Differently by Heidi Grant Halvorson on the HBR Blog Network.

She wrote that most people believe that our intelligence, our personality, and our physical aptitudes are fixed — that no matter what we do, we can’t really improve.

As a result, we compare ourselves to others, often not favorably, and focus on goals that are all about proving ourselves. You need to quit that and work on acquiring new skills, such as being better at managing people or the business side of your practice.
