When both a top coach and the head psychologist for The Navy Seals recommend a book, you know there’s something really impactful about it.

What is the difference between the fixed and growth mindset, and how does it show up in our businesses and our lives in general?

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
The truth about performance Most people think they are stuck for the wrong reasons in their lives - they put their lack of progress down to wrong tactics and strategies. What actually holds us back are the emotional triggers, behavioral patterns and environmental conditioning that make us our own bottleneck.
Fixed vs. growth mindset The fixed mindset is that we’re born with a set of tools, abilities and skills that we’ll have to use for the rest of our lives, and that there’s no way to change them. In a growth mindset, we’re moldable - we evolve and progress overtime and and change the tools we’re working with. A fixed mindset focuses on outcomes, outward validation and an outcome we can’t control. Growth focuses on the process.
Detach and amplify When you’re worried about the outcome, you take a step back from the process. By putting the intentional thought process around the actions we can control every single day, that drives toward the outcome we desire.

From an author’s perspective, there’s no greater achievement than having your ideas become so deeply ingrained and absorbed that people unconsciously implement them. If there are two books that have rightfully earned that status, it would be “The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing” by Ries and Trout and “Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey Moore. These books have made a life changing impact on a marketer I really respect, Christopher Lochhead, so much so that he believes any card-carrying marketer can’t consider themselves one without reading them.
Daniel Mangena stumbled upon his own success code while trying not to fail at ending his own life, and he has Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now" to thank for it.

It doesn’t matter what we say we want, what matters is what we desire at our deepest unconscious level. What happens when what we want to achieve isn’t in alignment with that internal programming? How do we get our unconscious minds on the side of our desires?
