Musing: Adopting A Growth Mindset 

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

You can have a Growth Mindset but it is useless when you remain in the wrong environment - The Scarcity Environment. thank you Vusi

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!

"Be surrounded by people who think what's POTENTIALLY possible not only what has been achieved in the past" I love that

If you don't change your environment, your environment will change you. 💯

I've watched this video while I was at work and people around me could not understand why I was moving and shaking my head as if I was in church. This is gospel. Thank you Vusi

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in exploring this ideas Vusi is talking about.

Why do I find this now??😢 I resigned last year December from my teaching position at a public school after receiving awards for excellence in primary school teaching. I resigned due to numerous reasons, one of them being debts. Yes I was the cream, producing results for the department. However, the salary was a joke; I was living from hand to mouth. I decided took a step that million of young teachers are afraid of, I moved to Asia, and ever since, I’ve been able to save, work efficiently and produced good results😊. Those pearls of wisdom you’ve uttered are life changing. Thank you for your ministry

I am better, more capable and can do better. I want more and am willing to do the work. Environmental of Abundance Surround yourself with people who believe in abundance and potential

Vusi will never stop to enlighten me. He's made RU-vid become my class. I love his teachings

I'm new to stock market /Crypto and would like to invest but I've go no idea on how to make good profits. Pls what's the best approach you'd recommend?

The academic that Vusi spoke about is Dr Carol Dweck. She is a psychologist and has done a lot of work and research in the field of mindsets. Absolutely life changing stuff. I urge all those that found this video helpful to go check her work out and even get her book, titled "Mindset". Thanks for sharing this Vusi! Izandla zidlula ikhanda mfoka'Thembekwayo!

Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!

Abundance mindset here, its even written on my whatsapp profile, it is a reminder that I am going somewhere though born in an environment that is limiting, I am not limited by the environment because I know how great I will be and this is why am one of the hustlers out here.... can't stop

"The great change that you will experience will be unlike the big sensations that people usually call self-transformation. The real change happens deep within you. You don’t usually see it happening, but you do notice the results. As time passes, you start to feel differently about certain things, not because anyone has told you to do so. It’s just something you feel. Time passes, and your values change. You begin to take refuge in the truth rather than attempt to escape from it. You seek quiet more and more as gross stimulation becomes a great aggravation. You look for different things in yourself and in others. You become more aware of the subtle interactions between people. You are more affected by the mental environment and more sensitive to it. You begin to value truth and understanding more than possessions and pleasurable sensations." "This is all natural. Nothing is being imposed upon you here. You are simply coming to terms with a deeper need and a deeper affinity with life." - from Walking The Way of Knowledge by Marshall Vian Summers

I live in Nigeria, a country that can't guarantee basics like 4hours of Power daily and I m trying to compete in the global market. I feel encourage by this, I refuse to see scarcity, I choose the pathway of growth! Thank you Vusi!

You can have a Growth Mindset but it is useless when you remain in the wrong environment - Environment of Scarcity .... thanks for this

This is speaking to me right now, I have a growth mindset and the environment where I am at doesn't nurture growth. This is pushing me to work on changing the environment to an enabling one thanks Vusi

These are exactly some of the questions I have been asking to myself and that pushed me into a new adventure. In other parts of the world, i see people far younger than me and yet achieving extraordinary things. It's clear that they have the ecosystem to leverage. Let's keep working hard and one day, give back by creating platforms for the younger generations in Africa! Big thank you Vusi for such a great content!

"In the world of abundance, we don't see world as it is, but we see what it can be"

Powerful. Deep. Makes Sense. Growth mindset vis a vis environment. Fact: To thrive, you have to be in an environment of abundance.

What an insightful Word! I'm Blown Away! Thank You for dishing out this value

Life is a blank canvas it can be anything.

I had to download this so I can listen to it everyday for over a month That's how persistent I am Thank you Vusi My work will allow me to meet you in person one day soon and I look forward to our meeting

THANKS vUSI YOU ARE PRONOUNCED.

My life will never be the same again 🙏

“In the world of abundance we don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as it can be and it is your and my job to create that world.” ~Vusi Vusi has been mentoring me about business and finance without even trying or even knowing. The first time I come across Mr. Vusi the first thing that came to my mind was that so we actually have such intelligent and knowledgeable figure in Africa. Someone intellectually sophisticated about business and finance. I was completely astonished. God bless you Sir. I’ve learned tremendously from you through your posts.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I feel you when you hit home. We as African lack mindset and blame government, society except ourselves.

You don't know just how well this fits and speaks in the situation of my life now personally and the people I interact with. This mindset reality is both a challenge and an appreciation of where we are at. We can be the agents of progress when we allow ourselves to be, Thank you Vusi.

Your explaination and examples are wonderful. The book you mentioned is called MINDSET,The New Psychology of Success written by Carol S. Dweck

The best thing about Vusi is that he is everything PLUS a child of God. And I'm thinking, God has amazing creations. Thank you, Vusi. God bless you.

Nothing to add. Well articulated👌🏿 I've also realized that proximity to the desired environment makes a HUGE difference.

Powerful, it makes so much sense you need literal room to grow and bloom. I think the thing to remember as well is to bloom where you are planted and then you would be replanted in a bigger pot and do well! As always thank you Vusi!

My takeaway "if you don't change your environment, the environment will change you " thank you VT

💯 if you don’t change your environment, your environment will change you. Thank you my brother. I know I can do better

sir, thank u very much for your inspirational words, I'm still young but now i can see things in a bigger picture and think out of the box. God bless you.

The lady is Carol Dwerk. The author of the book Mindset

It's funny how I came to this realization few weeks ago as I was having lunch with work colleagues and Vusi uploaded a video speaking exactly how I feel in my country (Angola), I feel alienated because most people can't even copy what successful people do like punctuality, learn constantly, network and share ideias. Thank you for the advice at the end Vusi.

I listen to your talks often and this one is defintely one for the books🔥🔥🔥 my all time fav🔥🔥🔥

So profound…thank you for sharing Fellow brother from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

I had worked at a company for over 14 years that was honestly, a good company, but it wasn't a great fit for my skills and interests. I was stuck in that environment out of a desire for "security" and "stability". I'm in a much better industry and career track now that pays better and is much more engaging with more opportunities for career growth that I'm interested in. I regret that I stayed at that company for so long, but, still I'm very, very happy I finally the "secure and stable" cage of scarcity.

I'm blessed by this piece, truly I know I'm more than this but then, my environment is limiting me, God help out

A clear confirmation of what I have been thinking lately. I don't know if I should term it "accidental" but without a number, I have come across videos, articles and conversations that affirm this message within this period and I can feel the spiritual connection. Thanks you very much Vusi for such a great message.

Amazing video. The article by the academic is Mindset by Dr Carol Dweck, which is also a best selling book for anyone who is interested in reading this

This is awesome. Be surrounded by people who think what's POTENTIALLY possible not only what has been achieved in the past

My mindset just grew a muscle.🙏❤️

" This video is dedicated to those who can feel that you're better than where you are, who know they can do better, who want more and are willing to put in the work and do more." - Thank you Vusi.

Scarcity mindset that pursues us as a result of wrong environments we choose to live in has pursued and afflicted me most of my life, to the extend of not realizing how blessed I am among my peers, and thereby not living/enjoying the abundance of my blessing to full capacity. Just one example - I never really realized that I can fly from Nairobi to any destination until recently (yes, I had money but still thought it won't happen), because I surrounded myself with people who ply the road - public transport and private cars during vacation to rural homes or funerals (carrying more people to attend village funerals). Oh the joy and peace in discovering where God had placed me many years ago. Blessings that are so visible even right here (my channel has more than 400K subs) but I didn't know my position, and never got to enjoy that privileged position. I'm so glad I now know! This video speaks to me! Vusi, you're an inspiration to me, bro. I'm so proud of you, so proud of my African brothers who don't shy away from being/living who they are, and unashamedly so. One day I dream of meeting you in person - you're my mentor!

You are 100% correct. Sir thank you so much for the advise.

Oh Vusi, you just made my day. This is the reality of how many of us live. Thank you for sharing.

Visi, man, this is so timely. You have no idea. Thank you.

This is me Sir... I just left my current location to another city, now meeting new business, and people who could pay me more for the value I give to them. Unlike where I came from, my thinking is shallowed and many do not even understand me there. See this video makes me to understand the difference. It is simply location. The environment.

My light bulb moment! I have to transition out of my present environment! I must deliberately start operating in environments that match and support my mentality!

🙌 Growth Mindset is powerful more people need to be aware of it.

Vusi, I am so happy that I came across this video of yours. This just gave me confirmation that the decision I am about to make is for me to grow more. For me to grow in ways that I know I can thrive in. In ways where I can expand my horizons.

I'm only commenting because there aren't a lot of comments yet and so I feel my say might be seen this time. I work out three times a day, the body is a great way to get to the mind. I just want tlo say that working in yourself is the most amazing thing ever, I know my future is taken care of because I do the compound little things to put me at ease... the laws of the universe work

The timing couldn't be any more perfect, clearly patience pays...thank you Vusi for yet another thought-provoking piece, you constantly have us pushing and extending our boundaries ((Thank You))

"if you don't chan6your environment, your environment will change you..." Thank you.

I really needed this video now more than ever before. I am valuable, I am better than what I am paid and I am challenged to raise my game. Powerful!

Most people that are famously successful are still considered one in a million in their respective accomplishments. Vision is vital and virtuous yet there’s not enough multiplicity of thee accomplishments of the famously successful. Everyone’s looking for the newest success when second and third in line to reproduce successful outcomes is just fine. There’s so much history to master. Potential possibility is for innovation… mastery is for reproducing success. Potential is a Jack of all trades but possibility has a record. Peace and blessings.

I didn't even finish listing to the entire video, I subscribe already and download the video to keep on listening. Thank you ...

I can watch this all day long wow, the aura of the video is just on another level and thanks for explaining that having a growth mindset is not enough. Environment and the people you surround yourself with also matter

Vusi love you so much because you usually expose African challenges, their setbacks and give the guidance God bless you brother stay happy, healthy and long life

we admire you in uganda.....brotherhood...

You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in crypto from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires..

Took note of the words; growth mindset and fixed mindset, about four years ago when I visited the Lagos state civil service secretariat, Nigeria. I had a vague idea of what the words meant. This year while undergoing a post graduate diploma in psychology. Our lectures in developmental psychology gave me a practical understanding of growth and fixed mindset. Listening to your presentation, added another dimension to the concept. That one's environment, and the company one keeps will determine your mindset. Thank you so much.

1st time listening to this but wow... Pure wisdom, planning to meet this man can't be an error...

Well said VT. Thank you for everything, you’re such an inspiration and a living legend

The ability to be uncomfortable with the constricting environment. Totally reasonate with this. Thanks VT.

Thank you my brother. Your podcasts build me.❤

It’s so on point. Thank you. I know I can do better and I am ready to do better.

It's the start of the year and I'm glad I got this clip. Mr Thembekwayo, thank you Sir.

Thanks Vusi, you explained this so well. A growth mindset in an environment of scarcity has been something that has bothered me for some while. I know I can do more and achieve more and looking to make that happen in the next chapter of my life.

Thank you Vusi. I appreciate you sir.

Your truth makes me emotional. Big thanks to you, teacher of the world.

Thank you so much for reaching out to me. More gracious growth to you and everyone who are seeking more abundance.

from 10:45 your world really touched me. Really emotional, I needed this. God bless you man.

I have listened to this over 50 times and I'm still awed about the insights shared. Thank you, Vusi for making us believe that we can achieve anything provided we are willing to adopt a growth mindset

Epigenetics applies to the Growth Mindset too..Thanks for the Value ..

Vusi thank you from the bottom of my heart God bless you

Thanks for speaking directly to me sir. Noted a few gems down but what struck me most was where you said that our approximation of what's possible is based on our environment. I realized I needed this message to start taking action towards being in the right environment where I can be pushed to grow and become relevant!

Sir I'm very grateful to God that you are living in generation our time, where many of us discover our calling in your calling. I'm very humble Sir continue be a BLESSING .

Thank you, Vusi. This is so profound.

What I like about bra Vusi is the analysation behind.. it takes a Wiseman to see that... the beyond part

This is what I figured out that I used my last breathe to relocate to U.K This is so much coming from you cos we have all missed ur masterclass

Thank you so much it has opened my mind that being with a groth mindset is not enough but to also the environment and cycle of people around me.❤️❤️❤️🇺🇬

I am meeting you at the right moment and the right time. Location matters when it comes to growth. Thank you Sir

Vusi, thank you! Watching this one year after and it speaks to me directly.

You're so realistic and right. Especially on the idea of location.

I Love this guy... Thank you sir for who you are and what you represent I am honoured to have been part of the generation you speak too.

I seriously felt he was speaking directly to me. Something I knew deep down but hearing someone else say it solidifies it. Sometimes change of the environment is all we need

Thanks be to God that you showed up with your gift. It's a blessing to many.

Simply said but OUTSTANDING ! Thank You so much.

I love it! Growth mindset and changing your mindset from that of scarcity to one of abundance

I have been following your talks and posts everywhere i come across them BUT this HIT a BUTTON in my PERSONALITY. CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT and having a GROWTH MINDSET is way too PERFECT. I will put this into consideration and will be back to attest to the RESULTS. Thank you VUSI

I came across this message just at the time I'm embarking on the growth mindset. I couldn't have said it any better!

Love the power you bring to the table sir you say so little but the little you say carriers do much meaning and weight thank you

Thank you so much Vusi for this video. It did not only open my mind, it encouraged me and strengthened my faith in the decision I'm about to make.

Thank you so much Vusi, truly blessed for your existance and purpose.

I'm so happy and grateful to be here I have learnt something today
