E02: Better Mindset, Better Grades

Dr. Andre Pinesett
About this episode

If you want to become a better student you must start with developing a better mindset. So many students don't believe in themselves, struggle with negative self-talk and a fixed mindset. Carol Dweck made the concept of Mindset popular, but many students don't fully grasp what a growth mindset is. It is about being positive, about believing in your academic potential. In this video, I discuss mindset from a practical standpoint and what students can do to overcome their past performance and the hurtful labels that have been placed on them so that they can fulfill their student potential and get better grades.

To help you develop a healthy and productive mindset, I created “The Successful Student 21-Day Mindset Makeover”. This course will break down the false beliefs you have about school and teach you the 3 principles that enabled me to dominate college and medical school. They will allow you to become your best-self.
