Mindset Coach Academy Podcast

Run towards failure!

If you want to be successful, you have to become familiar with failure. It’s part of the deal.

No successful business owner has gotten to where they are without a bad launch, no professional athlete has gotten into the big leagues without a bad game, no actor has landed an award-winning role without being told NO a hundred times before. I’m certainly no exception, and neither are you.

Failure is a precursor, inevitability, a rite of passage to success.

In this special, extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I dig deep into the psychology of failure and the big questions surrounding it.

For example:

From failing in the WNBA to failing in business, I talk openly about the times I let myself down. I share the stories I used to tell myself about failure, and how they’ve changed over the years. Finally, I give you tons of actionable tips to help you reframe the way you think about failure.

Listen to this extended episode and join me as I run towards failure!

Today I am so grateful to be joined by the one and only Jake Thompson!

Jake’s resume is impressive, to say the least. He is an author, keynote speaker, coach, business man, and (best of all) an example of everything he teaches. In his trainings, team building workshops, and one on one coaching, he inspires everyone he works with to build grit, accountability, and compete every day for success.

In this episode, we talk about what’s good, what’s hard, and what has worked for him. We get into the problem with trying to be “fearless”, the magnetic influence of the 5 people you spend the most time with, and how to break down your big goals into bite-sized pieces. One of my favorite teachable moments in this episode is when Jake talks about “can’t-see choices that turn into can’t-miss results.”

Coming off of this interview, I feel like I just got a personal coaching session!

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or a mindset nerd, this interview with Jake Thompson is sure to get you fired up for your goals. Better still, it will help you stay on track making small, meaningful choices every day to achieve those goals and become better athletes and humans.

Press play, enjoy, and share with anyone who comes to mind as you listen to this kickass episode!

[28:00]  From hitting the snooze button, to responding poorly to your kid, to re-starting when you get off track, Jake insists that success comes down to can’t see choices you make every day. As he puts it, “Can’t see choices turn into can’t miss results.”

[33:50] Small, incremental steps lead to long-term results. Here’s how breaking down your big goals into bite sized pieces can help you move forward.

[36:19] Lindsey shoots off a few rapid fire questions to get to know Jake. With each question, Lindsey peels back the curtain back on Jake’s personal routines, what he’s reading, what he’s creating, what he consumes from a content perspective, and what brings him joy.

There's a place for dissatisfaction. It's really hard to make a big change without it! But it can also lead to negative self-talk and stop you dead in your tracks. 

Lindsey's big question today is this: "Do you know how to love your way toward change rather than punish your way toward change?" 

To enact real, lasting, positive change in your own life, listen to today's Mental Monday for sound tips from our resident Mindset Coach, Lindsey!
