Welcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about Limiting Mindset
How do you move beyond what you know to reach what you truly want?
The Limiting Mindset. It’s that quiet voice that says, “We can’t do that because…” or “That’s not realistic given…” It’s the mindset that measures possibility by past performance, that looks backward to justify what’s ahead.
As Metronomics coaches, we see it all the time. Our role, more often than not, is to help leaders notice where they’re unknowingly capping their own potential—and to shift that focus from what is to what could be.
A Growth Mindset starts in the opposite direction. It begins with desire—with asking, “What do I actually want?” rather than “What’s possible based on what I have?” As Dr. Ben Hardy and Dan Sullivan describe in 10x Is Easier Than 2x and Be Your Future Self Now, this approach invites you to imagine your future self as if the goal were already achieved, and then work backward.
When you start from that vantage point, the conversation changes. Suddenly, the question isn’t “Can we?” but “What needs to be true for this to happen?” That’s where real creativity and progress begin.
