Strategy and the Cure for Inaction

Who are you VS. Who do you want to be? It could also be stated - What do you want to do now VS. What do you want to have done? In both cases, the reality of how we act in the present moment can often be very different than all the desires of who we want to be and what we want to achieve in the future. In this episode, we break down the Psychology of the Behaviour model that drives our actions. We learn how to close the gap between our desires and our actions to achieve our own version of success and happiness.

Desire and the Battle of Present vs. Future-self

Mindsets can be described as life-changing, miracle-cure thought processes with vague and fluffy brilliance. In reality, Mindsets have a lot of answers to very powerful core elements of our behaviours. They are extremely important to understand. It's also important to not misuse them. Let's dig into:
What exactly is and isn't a Mindset.
Common Mindset myths
What to look out for as bad science and lies

 We also dig into some of the most popular mindset pairs that are regularly mis-understood and mis-used:
Fixed vs Growth mindset
Scarcity vs Abundance Mindset
Closed vs Open Mindset
