𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝟕 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠?

By Pastor Peter Olanrewaju, PhD

Let’s be honest.
We don’t all go to work with the same mindset.
Some just want to survive.
Some are chasing promotion.
Some have caught a vision.
But every one of us carries a mindset into the workplace whether we know it or not.

And that mindset shapes everything:
⚙ How we perform
⚙ What we prioritise
⚙ Who we become

The 7 mindsets people carry into the workplace –
Where do you see yourself

1. Survival Mindset
“I just need to get through the month.”
Work becomes a burden. Life is lived on the edge.
You do what you must, not what you can become.

2. Salary Mindset
“I am here because I need to be paid.”
Work is just a transaction.
Passion is absent. Creativity is suppressed.

3. Entitlement Mindset
“I deserve more, I give my time and energy.”
Work becomes a place of complaint.
You measure others’ blessings, but not your own effort.

4. Promotion Mindset
“I will do only what brings me recognition.”
Work is a performance.
Excellence is driven by applause, not conviction.

5. Corporate Mindset
“I am building the brand of this company.” Loyal, driven, and professional—great. But sometimes, your identity is swallowed by the brand.

6. Kingdom Mindset
“I work with the heart and excellence of Christ.”
Work is no longer ordinary. It becomes worship. Integrity is non-negotiable. Excellence is expected.

7. Stewardship Mindset
“God placed me here to multiply value and serve others.”
Work becomes a calling. You show up with vision, diligence, and impact in mind.
It is not just about what you earn, but what you leave behind.

The Bible says: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3: 23

So before you complain about your job again, check your mindset.
Before you chase the next offer, check your motivation.
Before you shrink in fear, remember your assignment.

✅ You may not be able to choose your workplace.
✅ But you can choose the mindset you bring into it.
And that choice makes all the difference.

Which mindset do you currently operate in?
Which one is God calling you to grow into?
