Do you have the right mindset?

 

 

 

Habit 1 – Be a ‘can doer’

Think about what you want and what you can do to make

it happen!

 

 

Habit 2 – What’s your goal ?

If you know what you’re trying to achieve – you can work towards it!

 

 

Habit 3 – Prioritise!

What do you need to do, to achieve your goal? 

Tip – ‘the only way to eat an elephant is in small bites’!

 

 

Habit 4 – Think ‘win-win’ 

What can you do for others and what can they do for you?

 

​

Habit 5 – Assuming makes an ass out of u and me!

Listen and ask questions – never assume. Seek first to

understand and then to be understood.  Ask yourself

‘what am I assuming that might be holding me back?’

 

 

Habit 6 – Work with others for a shared goal

Who can help you achieve your goal and what’s in it for them?

 

 

Habit 7 – Do things that make you happy

Particularly if you’re not having a good day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anything is possible for you!  You just need to know what you want then work out how you’re going to get there….

‘Olympic Fever’ took over the country in 2012, and with every medal came a story of individual and team success.

So what can we learn from the Olympic Athletes about what it takes to achieve success?

​

This is the mind-set that’s displayed time and time again by our inspirational medal winners:

 

• Self-belief 

• Passion 

• Motivation 

• Focus 

• Hard work 

• Dedication 

• Commitment 

• Resilience 

• Tenacity 

• Learning from Past Failures 

• The Importance of ‘Team’

This is the mind-set we need to adopt to achieve success in any area of life.

10 tips for a Successful Mindset

 

In my quest to learn about the mindset of successful people, I recently read John Bird’s book as a ‘Quick Read’.  For anyone that hasn’t heard of John – he is founder of ‘The Big Issue’. I jotted down a few tips that hit home for me…
