How to Steal The Mindset of Highly Successful People?
Whether you think you can or you cannot, you’re right in both ways.
I’ve recently shared the news with our talent hunt head. She is a hard-working girl, but she sometimes finds it challenging to come out of her comfort zone.
When I shared that I would be resigning soon, her first reaction was epic, “Oh GOD, Yousuf, I need to work long-hours again to recruit someone new.”
That’s one reaction. She could have responded in a better way, “Great, I am so happy for you. I am thrilled to find a replacement for you.”
The same news, but two entirely different reactions. David Joseph Schwartz, in his life-altering book, The Magic of Thinking, shares the mentality of successful people. According to David, “Defeat is only a state of mind, and nothing more.”, so whether you think you can or you cannot, it all begins with your mindset.
My goal in this blog is to change your mindset. After reading the blog, you’ll be able to replace the negative feelings with positive ones.
Follow the tips, and you’ll witness a phenomenal change in your life.
