3 Growth Mindset Adjustments That Double Revenue and Build Freedom

Too many business leaders think the latest marketing or sales strategies are the key to growth and building a freedom-based business. They fail to realize that all the strategies in the world won’t work without a strong mindset.
The concept and idea behind developing your mindset have been relegated to cute Instagram Memes. It’s not taken seriously enough, and it shows in the lack of growth for too many business leaders. Spending the time and energy to develop your mindset creates a successful life and helps you accomplish your goals.
There are some core growth mindset shifts every leader should consider making to accomplish their goals. Using solid growth strategies is essential to double your revenue, make more of an impact, and create a free life.
Here are three practical and powerful growth mindset adjustments that help leaders foster success, accomplish their goals, and experience true freedom.
1. Stop trying to live up to outside expectations.
The question you have to ask yourself is, whose life are you living? If you sat and thought about how you spent your time and the things you focused on, you’d probably be a little surprised. It’s not uncommon for too many people to live their life based on outside expectations.
You’ll never live a successful life or create your freedom if the goals you are working towards aren’t your own. A growth-optimized mindset happens when you have absolute clarity about what you want to accomplish and how you want to spend your time.
You’ll create amazing growth when you stop caring about others’ thoughts and stop trying to live up to outside expectations. Your goals and how you spend your time working to achieve those goals have to come from knowing what you want for yourself.
Your goal is to become the best version of yourself in every area of your life. It’s to embrace who you are and what makes you tick. Creating success means you become the strongest and most authentic version of yourself.
2. Start each day with YOU activities.
It’s not uncommon for other people’s priorities and the pings of life to be the first thing you think about when you wake up. You’re pulled to take care of all the things that feel urgent instead of thinking about how you want to spend the first part of your day. The path to doubling your revenue starts with prioritizing the things you need to do to get there.
Instead of starting your day working on tasks for others, you should start your day working on tasks that help you grow your life and business. Starting your day being focused on YOU activities leads to accomplishing more and increasing your revenue.
Starting each day with you activities is a form of self-love and self-care. It’s how you make sure you have the first priority and that your needs are taken care of before you think about the outside world. Give yourself permission to treat yourself better. As you take better care of yourself, the result will be growth and freedom in other areas of your life.

3. Take everything you do in your business seriously.
Gary Vaynerchuk has said, “one is greater than zero.” There is a temptation to only focus on the numbers when you’re starting out. When those numbers are low, it feeds into negative self-limiting beliefs. This then creates a situation where the business leader does not take things seriously enough.
The path to more revenue and a life of freedom happens when you take everything you do seriously from day one — no matter who is watching. You create content as if one million people are reading it, you show up powerfully even if it feels like no one is watching, and you put your best into everything you do.
Taking everything seriously puts your best work out of the world, and when more eyeballs see that, they tell others — you grow. Be your biggest cheerleader and shine even though no one may be looking. Treat everything you do seriously, and it will pay dividends later.
Nothing is stopping you from living an unlimited free life in which you experience growth and true happiness. You can double your revenue and have the financial freedom to help you enjoy all the benefits of life. It starts in your mind.
These growth mindset adjustments help you prioritize yourself and practice healthy mental wellness habits. A strong mindset will be the fuel that enables you to grow for years to come.

The Leadership Shift Every Company Needs in 2025
Struggling to keep your team engaged? Here’s how leaders can turn frustrated employees into loyal advocates.

In workplaces around the world, there’s a growing gap between employers and employees and between superiors and their teams. It’s a common refrain: “People don’t leave companies, they leave bad bosses.”
While there are, of course, cases where management could do better, this isn’t just a “bad boss” problem. The relationship between leaders and employees is complex. Instead of assigning blame, we should explore practical solutions to build stronger, healthier workplaces where everyone thrives.
Why This Gap Exists
Every workplace needs someone to guide, supervise, and provide feedback. That’s essential for productivity and performance. But because there are usually far more employees than managers, dissatisfaction, fair or not, spreads quickly.
What if, instead of focusing on blame, we focused on building trust, empathy, and communication? This is where modern leadership and human-centered management can make a difference.
Tools and Techniques to Bridge the Gap
Here are proven strategies leaders and employees can use to foster stronger relationships and create a workplace where people actually want to stay.
1. Practice Mutual Empathy
Both managers and employees need to recognize they are ultimately on the same team. Leaders have to balance people and performance, and often face intense pressure to hit targets. Employees who understand this reality are more likely to cooperate and problem-solve collaboratively.
2. Maintain Professional Boundaries
Superiors should separate personal issues from professional decision-making. Consistency, fairness, and integrity build trust, and trust is the foundation of a motivated team.
3. Follow the Golden Rule
Treat people how you would like to be treated. This simple principle encourages compassion and respect, two qualities every effective leader must demonstrate.
4. Avoid Micromanagement
Micromanaging stifles creativity and damages morale. Great leaders see themselves as partners, not just bosses, and treat their teams as collaborators working toward a shared goal.
5. Empower Employees to Grow
Empowerment means giving employees responsibility that matches their capacity, and then trusting them to deliver. Encourage them to take calculated risks, learn from mistakes, and problem-solve independently. If something goes wrong, turn it into a learning opportunity, not a reprimand.
6. Communicate in All Directions
Communication shouldn’t just be top-down. Invite feedback, create open channels for suggestions, and genuinely listen to what your people have to say. Healthy upward communication closes gaps before they become conflicts.
7. Overcome Insecurities
Many leaders secretly fear being outshone by younger, more tech-savvy employees. Instead of resisting, embrace the chance to learn from them. Humility earns respect and helps the team innovate faster.
8. Invest in Coaching and Mentorship
True leaders grow other leaders. Provide mentorship, career guidance, and stretch opportunities so employees can develop new skills. Leadership is learned through experience, but guided experience is even more powerful.
9. Eliminate Favoritism
Avoid cliques and office politics. Decisions should be based on facts and fairness, not gossip. Objective, transparent decision-making builds credibility.
10. Recognize Efforts Promptly
Recognition often matters more than rewards. Publicly appreciate employees’ contributions and do so consistently and fairly. A timely “thank you” can be more motivating than a quarterly bonus.
11. Conduct Thoughtful Exit Interviews
When employees leave, treat it as an opportunity to learn. Keep interviews confidential and use the insights to improve management practices and culture.
12. Provide Leadership Development
Train managers to lead, not just supervise. Leadership development programs help shift mindsets from “command and control” to “coach and empower.” This transformation has a direct impact on morale and retention.
13. Adopt Soft Leadership Principles
Today’s workforce, largely millennials and Gen Z, value collaboration over hierarchy. Soft leadership focuses on partnership, mutual respect, and shared purpose, rather than rigid top-down control.
The Bigger Picture: HR’s Role
Mercer’s global research highlights five key priorities for organizations:
-
Build diverse talent pipelines
-
Embrace flexible work models
-
Design compelling career paths
-
Simplify HR processes
-
Redefine the value HR brings
The challenge? Employers and employees often view these priorities differently. Bridging that perception gap is just as important as bridging the relational gap between leaders and staff.
Treat Employees Like Associates, Not Just Staff
When you treat employees like partners, they bring their best selves to work. HR leaders must develop strategies to keep talent engaged, empowered, and prepared for the future.
Organizational success starts with people, always. Build the relationship with your team first, and the results will follow.
