5 tips to teach a successful mindset to our children !

What is a successful mindset?

A successful mindset is a mindset of abundance, without limiting beliefs, without guilting or shaming to be successful and wealthy. Tony Robbins says that success is 80 percent psychological and 20 percent strategic.

When kids feel empowered, feel confident, they try harder, and they don´t limit their brain with preconceptions. They learn to be creative in finding the right strategies and putting effort toward their goals. They train their brain to think positively and be solution oriented.

How to teach a successful mindset to your children?

TIP 1 – Focus on their strengths!

Focus on what they do well. Become aware of their gifts (painting, creating, etc.). Find their strengths and tell them how smart, talented, gifted they are.

Don ´t focus on their weaknesses, because we don´t have to be good everywhere to be successful and talented. Nowadays, even if they are not good at school, they can find ways to be successful.

TIP 2 – Gratitude and future Life

Let them dream and describe an amazing life with a lot of love, fun, abundance. They don´t need to know what kind of work they will do, but they should feel the abundance of positive feelings. The brain will connect to this future and will start to find ways to create this reality.

You can already connect this perfect future life to the current existing life by asking them what is already present. They will feel this abundance of what they already have and will realise that it is a wonderful feeling which will boost their confidence and gratitude.

You can ask them as well what kind of person they want to be, what kind of qualities their future self should have.

TIP 3 – Work Ethic

80% is mindset but 20% is work. Thus, to be successful, work is needed. It might be hard work for a period of time and then it might be less, but they have to be prepared to work hard if they want to accomplish something special.

Mistakes are very welcome as long as they learn from them. Teach them to try new things and to accept the lessons of failures and mistakes.

TIP 4 – Self-confidence and monetizing skills

Encourage them to believe that they will be able to monetise their gifts just as you, as parent, must believe that you can monetise your gifts. You should have the confidence to sale your talent, your product, your services and pass this mindset over to them.

Self-beliefs, hard work, gifts’ monetising and gratitude are crucial to have a successful and abundant career/ life. Think of people who already achieved great things, who already sold ideas, products and services and discuss this with your children. Even with 8-10 year-olds, it is a topic that can be discussed in a very interesting way.

TIP 5 – Grow your own mindset and be an example.

Success is 80% of mindset so any parents should wire their children to feel abundance and success.

Don´t block your children with sentences like “No, you can´t have that” or “no, you can´t do this”. If they want something and you cannot give it to them, then let them think about a solution or give them the power and the chance to find a way.

They want an expensive toy, and you don´t want/ can´t offer it. Suggest them to find a way to earn it (by doing tasks, by waiting until the next birthday, by selling something), give them the power to find solutions.

Learn to say “well, yes, let´s find a solution” instead of “no”. This is powerful because they will start thinking positively and be creative by finding solutions. However, it can be very scary if you didn´t prepare yourself to have a growth and successful mindset. Therefore, grow your abundance mindset as well and show them how to think abundance.
