5 Powerful Mindset Shifts For Entrepreneurs Who Overthink Social Media

If you’re overthinking showing up online, stop it. Below are five mindset shifts to help conquer your fears and start repping your business.

Key Takeaways

• Follow the “thank you” rule: Before posting on social media, consider if someone could genuinely thank you for that post. Aim to add value with each post.

• Remove the emotion: Entrepreneurs should view their social media metrics objectively, similar to how they view financial accounts.

• Focus on progress, not lack of progress: Track inputs (like content produced) and outputs (like engagement). Celebrate progress rather than dwelling on what's lacking.

• Find the game in the challenge: Treat building an online brand as a game. Find what motivates and drives you, and remember to have fun.

• Create your path: Avoid constantly comparing yourself to others on social media. Focus on your journey and strategy, seeing collaboration over competition.

Overcoming the "I'm Not Creative" Mindset

Have you ever felt like you've hit a creative wall? It's a common feeling, especially when we've been conditioned by traditional education to seek single solutions. Sir Ken Robinson and Edward de Bono shed light on this, emphasizing the importance of open-ended questioning to spark creativity. By shifting our mindset and asking the right questions, we can unlock a world of creative possibilities. So, next time you're stuck, remember: there's more than one way to approach a challenge.

Key Takeaways

• Many individuals face creative blocks, often telling themselves they're not creative.

• Sir Ken Robinson highlighted that educational systems often suppress students' creative powers, leading to a mindset of "I'm not creative."

• Edward de Bono, known for "Six Thinking Hats," points out that people often resort to negative thinking when faced with creative challenges.

• A significant number of low-level, fact-based questions in education lead students to believe that memorizing is more important than creative thinking.

• Transforming negative statements into open-ended questions can ignite creativity and lead to diverse solutions.

• Creative thinkers often ask themselves open-ended and flexible questions, avoiding limiting beliefs.
