American and moderately successful entrepreneur here. I had to look up the Law of Jante. My reaction: Holeee crap. That's one set of beliefs that is practically guaranteed to block ANYONE from manifesting even a fraction of their innovative potential. (Is it even real? Can anyone from the Nordic region confirm or deny?) Going even further: If someone wants to shape their mindset, etc. into that of someone who is on a path to massive entrepreneurial success, and compelled to create something of lasting impact and value to the world... You could almost take those rules, reword each to their opposite, and then read those opposites to yourself as daily affirmations. That'll start to program your beliefs into something much, much more self-empowering. Rather than massively self-limiting. (Maybe I'm indirectly revealing part of the answer to the OP's question here.) In the USA, we have the metaphor of the crab bucket, and it's a real social effect. I had to escape it myself in my own family (which I basically did through over a decade of sheer grit and tenacity, plus self-programming with techniques like affirmations). [Happy ending: having got to the other side of it, I'm closer to my extended family now than ever before.] But if I got to pick, I'd take the crab bucket over the Law of Jante every day.
