How Your Mindset Can Guarantee Success 43/84

Before you've even started a new challenge you've usually already decided wether you're going to succeed or not, even before your first step. It doesn't matter if we're talking about health, fitness, business, relationships, or anything else: the attitude you have when you start is almost always going to decide if you're going to be successful or not. Do you want to lose weight? Then you need to have to mindset of weight loss from day 1. Do you want to make more sales for your job? Then you need to have the mindset of a successful salesmen each and every day. If you don't believe that you're going to be successful then you've already decided that you won't. Because if you have that negative mindset when you start then you're going to be your own biggest barrier preventing yourself from doing it. That might sounds crazy to some people, but it might sounds super familiar to others.

Think about a time you've tried something and failed. We've all been there before. At first, you're probably making good progress, but pretty soon progress starts to slow and you start to doubt yourself. As soon as you start doubting yourself you start to think of all of the reasons why you won't be successful. Or, you start to think of all of the reasons why you don't really NEED to be successful. You start to justify failure in you're mind, you come to peace with it, and you quite.

Not let's look at the same vague example with a success mindset. You start making quick progress and everything is great. Then, when progress starts to slow, you realize that success comes in waves and that you just need to hold out until the next wave comes. You survive through the down period, making slow progress, then BAM! The wave comes back in and you start making huge steps again. When everyone else would have quit, the fact that you decided on success from the very beginning got you through the tough times and allowed you to continue.

If you've ever had a successful sales based job you know exactly what I'm talking about. Sales are always based on momentum (like most success) and when you hit that momentum you need to ride it as long as you can and do whatever you need to go keep that momentum up as long as you can. This really goes for anything.

You need to check your mindset and see where your thought are taking you. Can you see yourself succeeding in all of your goals? Can you see yourself 50 pounds lighter with a new life? Can took see yourself making twice as much money as you are now, with a new house and car? If not then you need to work on it, because this can be the single most important factor in your success if you learn how to harness it.

The biggest thing that has helped me so far is to try and learn every single day. Whenever I'm driving I have my phone plugged in with an audiobook or podcast playing. Every single time. When I wake up I listen too or read a book while I'm getting ready in the morning because it helps me each day with the right mindset. For me it's usually something fitness based, but I also listen to a lot of business and success books since it is just as important for me to be a good business man as it is for me to be a good trainer.

Adopting daily disciplines like this can be absolutely life changing. Maybe not overnight, but maybe so. I've been doing this for a few years how and I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't, and you wouldn't been reading this right now.

So think about how you can take advantage of this. How can you change your mindset so that you guarantee yourself success? What books could you read or podcasts can you find that will make you better? We're about to start a new week of a brand new month, seems like there's not better time to start than right now, so go get after it!

See you tomorrow!
