How to Live By Design with Dan Mendilow


Listen Later

Sometimes we dive too deeply into the strategical, tactical side of business, but this episode is going discuss the mindset and spiritual side of the spectrum 

My guest this week is Dan Mendilow. Dan is a Mindset Mentor & Coach and self-proclaimed “Leader-maker”.  He helps people to get out of their own ways, and have the correct energy, psychology, and self-trust to unleash their genius not only into their business, but into their life.  

Dan was born in Jerusalem, Israel but raised in New Jersey and struggled to fit in, going so far as to reject his heritage and culture at the age of 3. For as long as he can remember, he struggled with depression and self-loathing. In school he was bullied and had difficulty making friends. As an adolescent and young adult he found himself suicidal and addicted to drugs and alcohol until he hit rock bottom and decided he needed to change. Dan tried studying Psychology and Cognitive Science, and even tried therapy and found it all to be slow, basic, outdated, and boring. He eventually found neurolinguistic programming, hypnosis, and positive psychology and things finally changed. He found spirituality and was able to build a multiple six-figure business once he truly embraced who he was and completely changed his mindset and what he believed life should be. 

So what can we learn in this episode from Dan?

  • Success is 80% mindset 20% mechanics. Knowing is not simply enough. 
  • You can’t live a life that is not yours. How you’ve been does not need to be how you are. 
  • You need to both learn and unlearn. What are the rules you have been living under? Guess what. There are no rules. 
  • Ask yourself who you are. What you get in life comes from who you are. What you do comes from who you are
