Why you should develop an ‘Experiment Mindset’

The experiment mindset means that you are eager to try new things. You do not just do what you are always doing. Instead, you are eager to try something new. This mindset is powerful. It can open doors of opportunities for you and change your life.

Yes, many of your experiments will fail. But some of them will succeed. And remember, it took just one successful experiment out of 10,000 for Thomas Edison to invent the light bulb.

Here are several things that will happen if you have this mindset:

1. You will become more observant. If you have the mindset, you will become more observant. Why? Because you are constantly looking for new things to try. And you will definitely find new things to try.

2. You will be ready for failure. As its name connotes, this mindset is about experiment. Since it is just an experiment, you know that you could fail, consequently, you are prepared for failures. Failures would not stop you.

3. You would not put everything on the line. Since it’s just an experiment, you would not put everything on the line. For instance, your life savings. You would not put all of that into a new business venture. Instead, you will do things in such a way that you can sustain losses.

4. You will have no regret for not trying. Lifetime regret often comes from not trying. But this mindset helps you avoid that. Why? Because you did try. You did do your best. Even if it doesn’t work, you will have no regret for not trying.

5. You may change your life. It is insanity when you do the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. With this mindset, you do new things and you try something different. Consequently, you may expect different results. And those results may change your life.

6. You will have fun. This mindset helps you see your situation as an adventure. Why? Because you are exploring uncharted territories and finding treasures along the way. How cool is that? It means you will have fun doing what you do.
