Why is Mindset Important?

1- Do What You Do Best
“To be yourself in a world that is
constantly trying to make you
something else is the greatest
accomplishment.”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do What You Do Best
 Unapologetic authenticity
 Live & work by your own set of core values
(e.g. biz partners)
 No one can do what you do – creates your
unique brand/niche
 Inner Authority (effortless)
 Stop competing & start creating

2: Take 100% Responsibility
“If you act like a victim, you are
likely to be treated as one.”
--Paulo Coelho

Take 100% Responsibility
Take responsibility for:
 What you do
 What others do (yes!)
 Your attitude (gratitude & look for lesson)
 Your thoughts (toward self & others)
 Every single situation you find yourself in
Complain vs. Finding Solution (mutually exclusive)

 Forget luck
 Forget what other people are doing
 Forget what you are “owed”
 Forget all expectations for others
 Forget all expectations for what should
happen

 Stop blaming others
 Stop having expectations for others—how do
you manage this in a business?

 Take responsibility for your attitude in every
situation  Relentless positivity (what does
that mean?)
 “It can’t be done”  “How might we…?”
 Your words literally create your reality
 Question the status quo AND other people’s
limiting beliefs

3: Give It All Away
“It is literally true that you can
succeed best and quickest by helping
others to succeed.”
--Napoleon Hill

Giving It All Away
 Empathy vs. Defensiveness
 Helping others doesn’t lessen your own
contributions
 Empowers you AND them
 Lack vs. Abundance
 Cultivates trust
 There’s enough happiness, success and
money to go around

Giving It All Away
 True fulfillment has to be about others
 Our passions/purposes are others-directed
 Find ways to cultivate:
 Deliver remarkable content
 Offer mentorship/internship opportunities
 Don’t miss a chance to give someone a compliment
(don’t be stingy with praise)
 Don’t miss an opportunity to say thank you

4: Lean Into Struggle
“Smooth seas do not make
skillful sailors.”
--African Proverb
“Learn to fail, or fail to learn.”
--Tal Ben-Shahar

Lean Into Struggle

Lean Into Struggle
 “Named must your fear be before banish it
you can.” --Yoda
 Fear of failure/perfectionism (keeps us in
holding pattern)
 Fear of confrontation
 Fear of disappointing others, e.g. parents
 Journey vs. destination
 Only via failures that we can ultimately
succeed  The best learning comes from
action

Lean Into Struggle
The Perfectionist The Optimalist
Journey as a straight line Journey as irregular spiral
Fear of failure Failure as feedback
Focus on destination (rat racer) Focus on journey & destination
(gratitude in present, hopeful for
future)
All-or-nothing thinking (prevents
action)
“Good enough” thinking (ready, fire,
aim, aim, aim…)
Defensive Open to suggestions/feedback
Fault-finder Benefit-finder (optimist)
Harsh Forgiving (empathic)
Rigid, static Adaptable, dynamic

Lean Into Struggle
Expectations for what “should be” get into
trouble. How can we not be disappointed
when things don’t go to plan? [Psst. They
never do!]

5: Rest-Based Living
“A man sooner or later discovers that he is
the master-gardener of his soul, the
director of his life.”
--James Allen

Rest-Based Living
 Productivity: Chunking Time
 4 Ways to Divide Day
 Block time – 2-3 tasks/day
 Down time – Restorative activities
 Face time – Social/discussion/creativity
 Sweat time – Exercise/productivity

Rest-Based Living
 Productivity: Forced Ranking
Do highest score first
Item to do Impact on your
business (1-5)
Implementation
Time
1 (slow) - 5 (fast)
Total Score
Write blog 4 3 7
Buy domain 5 5 10
Build affiliates 5 1 6

6: Think Big
“Where success is concerned, people are
not measured in inches, or pounds, or
college degrees, or family background;
they are measured by the size of their
thinking.”
--David Schwartz

Thinking Big
 Easier to stay small—certainty/security
 Can you learn to take a risk?
 Practical Pessimism: Go right to worst-case
scenario and ask, what’s the alternative?

Persistence means commitment and determination. It is a
commitment to finish what you start.
The Power of Persistence

When we are exhausted, quitting, looks good. But winners
endure. Ask a winning athlete. He endures pain and finishes
what he started. Lots of failures have begun well but have not
concluded anything.

Persistence comes from purpose. Life without purpose
is drifting.
A person who has no purpose will never persevere and
will never be fulfilled.

7. Pride of Performance
Excellence comes when the performer takes pride in
doing his best.

Pride of performance does not represent ego. It represents pleasure with
humility. The quality of the work and the quality and the worker are
inseparable. Half-hearted effort does not produce half results; it produces
no results.

Every thing we do is a self-portrait of the person who does it,
regardless of what the job is, whether
washing cars, sweeping the floor or painting a house. Pride
comes from within, which is what gives the winning edge.

8: Be a Life-Long Student
“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be
sought for with ardor and attended to with
diligence.”
–Abigail Adams
