Madeleine opens up about how she tackled a negative multi-week spiral by choosing to take radical responsibility for her attitude and actively creating positive momentum in her life and business.

She dives into powerful mindset shifts and actionable business strategies, encouraging listeners to stop feeding their fears and instead, focus on cultivating gratitude and clarity to own their success.

Key Takeaways and Strategies:

• Your Attitude is Your Responsibility: You are accountable for how you show up and respond, which has ripple effects on your family, team, and business leadership.
• The Power of Three Laws for Momentum: Madeleine breaks down three psychological/business laws and how she uses them to regain control:
• Murphy's Law: The more you fear something happening, the more likely it is to occur. Stop feeding your fears and fixating on what's going wrong. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude and focus on positive outcomes.
• Gilbert's Law: Your success is in your hands. Take responsibility, find solutions, and own the outcome. This is the shift that moves you away from a victim mentality.
• Kidlin's Law: Write a problem down clearly, and that is half the solution. Clarity equals power. Brain dump your situation to gain the confidence to solve it.
• Focus on Gratitude: Even in challenging moments, shift your focus to what you are thankful for, such as financial freedom and time to be present.
• The Best Things in Life are Free: When feeling stuck, get back to the free things in life that bring you joy. Put your phone down, spend time outside, cook, and be present with your family.
• Build Q4 Momentum: Madeleine goes "pedal to the metal" during Q4, building momentum into the new year. She encourages listeners to have next year's personal and professional goals planned by mid-December.
• Reverse Engineer Your Year: Use a calendar to plot birthdays, known travel, and special events, and then plan business goals around those anchors.
• Create Focus Time: Close off company calendars for new meetings during the last two weeks of the year to allow the team to focus on year-end goals and plan initiatives for the new year.
