Growth mindset is hard to achieve. Humans tend to look for comfort and stick with it until something happens. No one really wants to get out of their comfort zones until they are forced by an event or a difficult situation. Rarely have I ever encountered a person who wants to change something and actually do something about it, though it is still possible with the right approach and the right support.
Franky1 mentioned career paths and it is one of the prime examples of this. We tend to specialize in something until it occurs to us that we no longer want it or there are other high-paying jobs that we 'might' get a liking to. Economic conditions force people to change jobs and grow, but if the economy is good and our salaries still fulfill our expenses, I guess no one will have to hop jobs and companies every now and then.

a fixed mindset can be changed to a growth mindset.. BUT
BUT.. usually requires a trigger event to force the switch
two examples
1. many people get fixated on a particular career path, they go through the college/uni route to specialise in it and then prioritise only looking for a career in that subject or fall flat doing a min wage non skill job. they dont try to learn other talents whilst in the career/uni to offer them skilled opportunity in another subjects. instead they wait until they fall flat doing minimum wage job to trigger them to retrain
2. many people do the path of number 1. but instead of losing their job they meet someone. get married and its the marriage and kids that trigger them to want to do night classes to enhance their qualification to get into managerial/senior positions in or outside their industry
hardly any "fixed mindset" people below middle age or trigger events just wakes up someday and decides to better their life, whilst in their career they were working on for the last X years
but yes.. the OP advice is true
there is nothing physically/scientifically stopping you learning more then you already know. even google can supply you with free information. there are free courses and learning material, e-books.
instead of defeating yourself saying "i cant do this within X time" remember you have many many many decades to live.. fit it in your schedule. time is not an excuse, there is plenty of it
i see it on this forum. trolls that for years talk all the time on this forum about their version of events of bitcoin politics because they learned it from other trolls they befriended. and years later they have not learned the actual bitcoin data/code that backs up a true series of events. however they pretend they dont have time to learn the code or do research. they should realise if they have time to be on the forum for years. they have time to take a break away from the forum, learn real things about bitcoin and they can come back a better person for it.

Ones mindset towards your goals may help to determine one's success. Someone with a growth mindset has a great potential to be successful in life. Has he/she will views intelligence, abilities, and talents as learnable and capable of improvement through effort while a fixed mindset views those same traits as inherently stable and unchangeable over time. The below picture will challenge your mindset and also help you determine which mindset you have.

👉View feedback as a source of information
👉Willingly embraces challenges

Can a person’s mindset change?
Just as someone can grow and develop their intellect, a person is also capable of changing brain functions and their thinking patterns. Therefore, one's mindset can be changed.
How to develop a growth mindset
🧠🧠Realize that, scientifically, you can improve
One of the most direct methods of fostering a growth mindset is by understanding our brains are built to grow and learn. By challenging yourself with new experiences, you can form or strengthen neural connections to ‘rewire’ your brain which, in turn, can make you smarter.
🧠🧠Remove the ‘fixed mindset’ inner voice
Many people have a negative inner voice that acts against a growth mindset. Try to flip thoughts such as ‘I can’t do this’, to ‘I can do this if I keep practicing’ to nurture a growth mindset.
🧠🧠Reward the process
Although society often rewards those who achieve excellent outcomes, this can work against a growth mindset. Instead, reward the process and the effort exerted.
🧠🧠Get feedback
Try and seek feedback on your work. When students are provided with progressive feedback about what they did well and where they can improve, it creates motivation to keep going. Feedback is also associated with a pleasurable dopamine response and enhances a growth mindset.
🧠🧠Get out of your comfort zone
Being brave enough to leave your comfort zone can help foster a growth mindset. When faced with a challenge, try to choose the harder option that will allow you to grow.
🧠🧠Accept failure as part of the process
Failure, setbacks, and initial confusion are all part of the learning process! When trying something new,see occasional ‘failures’ as positive learning opportunities—try to enjoy the discovery process along the way.
