It’s the year 2012 and I’m in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after a 5-Day Guerilla Business Intensive event. During this event, like so many others, I noticed the difference between people who took action and changed their lives and those who stayed safe. What I was contemplating however was what the distinction was between them. 

Did one person simply believe that they could and the other that they could not? Was one hardwired to be successful and the other not? I didn’t believe that, but what I did discover was that we all have both the “I can” and the “I can’t” mindset within us. The difference between the person who was successful and the other who was not was that the successful person listened to their “I can” mindset.

Which means that the “I can” and “I can’t” mindset does not define two people instead each person has both mindsets within them. That is when I realized that we are responsible for changing our mindset.

The three key insights for this episode are: 

  • What the differences and distinctions between the two mindsets are.
  • Why adopting the right mindset will change your life forever.
  • How to change your “mindset identity” to reach goals easier. 

Listen in to learn all the steps you should take to start working on a more positive mindset. So, which steps have you started enacting in your life?
