Winning Mindset

A Winning Mindset - Your Mind is Your Strongest Weapon!

Let me get started into this chapter by asking you a very serious question. “Do you expect to win or lose?” Pretty simple question one would think, isn’t it? Stop and think about it for just a second and come up with your answer.   

I find that the language many of my students really are speaking suggests that when faced with an opportunity of any description, they don't expect to win. Therefore, by default, they are setting themselves up to lose. Here is an example of what I hear when I start one of my first coaching calls with students that just bought one of my products, or a competitor’s product I may have recommended:

“Well, we will see how this product does for me. The last thing I did didn’t get me any results at all, so I am hoping that I am not getting myself in the same situation.”

Does this sound like someone that really is ready to do whatever it takes to make this new product really work? Or does it suggest they really do not expect any different result than what they experienced with the last product? The language you speak is simply a manifestation of the way that your mind thinks and the belief system that it has. The words coming out have to be thought – either consciously or subconsciously. What is your language? Is it positive or is it negative? Does every direction you look seem to point towards failure?
