MASTER Risk Model - Learning Resources - Mindset

Limiting Beliefs

Say yes to one startup opportunity you’d normally reject out of self-doubt. Track what happens next.

Share a bold idea in your startup circle—even if your belief says it isn’t “good enough.” Reflect afterward.

Offer to lead a pitch or session you’d usually avoid—focus on showing up, not perfection.

Set a micro-goal that challenges a limiting founder belief—complete it even if uncomfortable.

Ask for something you need but were too hesitant to request—funds, feedback, or a contact.

Rewrite your pitch bio with one bold phrase that challenges your belief about worth.

Empowering Beliefs

Share your idea in a small group with the belief: “My voice adds value.” Focus on clarity, not perfection.

Share a bold idea with a mentor or advisor—act from belief in contribution, not fear of judgment.

Apply an empowering belief to a stretch startup goal—write it down and act on one step today.

Say yes to something exciting but risky for your venture—let belief lead, not doubt.

Offer support to a peer founder with the belief: “We rise by lifting others.”

Begin your next pitch with a story that reflects your empowering founder belief.

Opportunity beliefs

Say yes to exploring a customer need you’d normally ignore—take the very first step today.

Join a project or incubator activity outside your scope—see what new doors it could unlock.

Offer a creative angle in problem-solving—even if it feels risky to share.

Volunteer to pitch in an uncertain forum—embrace the stretch experience.

Choose one decision this week and ask: “What’s the hidden opportunity here?”

Flip your morning routine—change how you start your day and see what ideas emerge.
