MASTER Risk Model - Learning Resources - Mindset

Limiting Beliefs

Write down one limiting belief about starting a venture and replace it with a neutral fact you can act on today.

Say aloud a strength of yours that disproves a belief holding you back from founding. Repeat it with confidence.

Choose a simple task you’ve avoided due to doubt—start it and set a ten-minute timer to stay focused.

Put a sticky note on your screen with a positive counter-belief. Read it before every call today.

Swap negative self-talk with a “What if I can?” statement—test it in a safe, low-risk situation.

Visualize yourself succeeding at a founder skill you think you can’t do—notice what changes in your energy.

Empowering Beliefs

Choose one empowering belief about your founder potential and write it on a notecard to review before hard tasks today.

Repeat an empowering belief in front of a mirror each morning—focus on tone, posture, and steady eye contact.

Create a phone lock screen with a short empowering belief you want to reinforce throughout this week.

Share an empowering belief on LinkedIn—something that guides your approach to learning and growth.

Choose a belief that energizes you—apply it to a current challenge and notice the shift in mindset.

Start your day by writing one empowering belief and one action it will inspire you to take today.

Opportunity beliefs

Choose one current startup challenge and write three possible opportunities it could lead to this week.

Start your day by asking: “Where could today’s biggest obstacle become today’s biggest opportunity?”

Revisit an ongoing idea and identify one overlooked opportunity you could explore starting today.

In your next meeting, reframe a concern as an opportunity in one clear, practical sentence.

Scan your to-do list and label one task as an “opportunity zone” for personal skill growth.

Set a five-minute timer to brainstorm new opportunity angles on a recent failure—no editing allowed.
