Your mindset determines your success, more so than any type of strategy out there. But to actually achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself, you need to understand that how you think about yourself and what you think you're capable of is just as important as what you spend your time doing. Your mindset will help you move the needle forward towards your goals faster than anything else.  

 

In this episode, I’m giving you a simple tool to help you actually achieve your goals and eliminate any self-limiting beliefs you have. Whether your goals are academic-related or personal, I’ll walk you through one of my favorite mindset exercises to help you collapse the gap between who you desire to become and who you are now. I’ll also explain why approaching life with a more spiritual mindset lens can support you in achieving your goals.  

 

What We Cover:

• Why your mindset determines your success
• The Rules For Living list
• Why you need to be specific yet vague with your list
• How to collapse the gap between who you want to be and who you are now

 

“Your mindset really determines your success, more so than what you actually do.”
