Is Your Mind Getting in the Way of Your Success

A couple of points. Good stuff. REAL researcher. NO B.S. I got her book when it first came out in 2007. The book itself is a more thorough research of a concept made popular by Maxwell Maltz in his work, PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS.

But what I want to point out is...how she followed the PATH to leveraging a book, into a great money making funnel. Her site, mindsetworks dot com has this history.
https://www.mindsetworks.com/about-us/our-history

When you read the history, you can glean ideas. About,

HOW to set up your back-ends, CREATE ancillary properties, expand markets and build a high INCOME, high happiness business around your work. At Amazon, you see people also bought work by SETH GODIN. And as you look at what people also buy, you'll play the game of going down the rabbit hole.

You'll see Ryan Holiday, Gary Vaynerchuck, etc., etc.

See, a book can lead to a life time of business activity. IF you have a book that gets read.

I want to suggest a book to this sub-forum. We see a lot of fluff, and regurgitated positive spinning of the wheels here, but here is a practical and useful work, by a Warrior (now deceased), Jim Straw, who has written one of the best MIND POWER books out there. His book is:

MUSTARD SEEDS, SHOVELS & MOUNTAINS. How to Succeed Using Your PHYSIO-PSYCHIC POWER.

As an affiliate marketer, Jim went from zero to over 6 figures a month, in less than a year with his online business.

He was the real deal, also. It is nice to see this section with a few people with a foot in reality too.

Thanks for post.

the mindsets i am more interested in ..arethe long term mindset verse the short term mindset.. the growth mindset falls more in to those who have the long term mindset and the fixed mindset fall in to those with short term thinking .

most people with million dollar plus net worth save and in vest 15-20 percent of their income for at least 20 years ..and build the skills to grow and manage the money after or while they build the skills to earn more ..

yet most people hink millions are made in short term bursts .. writing a best seller ..or putting out a hit song.. winning the lottery , inheriting it..suing some rich person or company..hitting the jackpot on a slot machine in las vegas ..

and there are many people with mindsets fixxed on the past ..thinking there is nothing the can do now and there was some much better time usually when they where children or before they where born..where it was so much better than now ..or that there opportunity was missed .. because one parent wouldn't let them sing in the show..or they didn't get the main role in the high school play .. or they had a mean teacher in school who rtold them they sucked and would never amount to anything because they couldn't grasp the correct use of there ..

the reason for their failure in their mindset is some or sever anchors in their past ..verse a grpwth mindset that accepts that failures in the past where results of skills that can be learned ..and ahem that it's better to compete where you will get into the top half or top ten percent ..than plunge into a competician where you are in the bottom half

"most people" - "many people" - 'their failure' - 'their mindset'

The most interesting point on the page linked in the OP is this:

Recognize that you have a choice.



What others do is their choice - their problem - their reaction.


Your life is a composite of your own choices - not the choices of your family or friends or strangers or 'people' - YOURS. It's not a word exercise - or a brainstorming session - it's the only life you have and the quality of it is up to you. It's a harsh reality - and often not comfortable to admit.



It's the most difficult thing to accept - that where you are is a result of the choices you have made. That where you will be 5 years from now will be a direct result of choices you are making now.

If there were such thing as overnight success, surely there will be overnight poverty. Success is a process and to anyone who were handed success right off the bat without the proper mindset will still lose it all.

I mean, there's a lot of crap our parents and environment give us when we're kids that's hard to get past.

But people DO get past it. Not many, but it's possible.

So what makes the difference for these people?

I think it's a few things:

- Self Awareness: They know they have to overcome some crap to get where they want to go.
- Persistence: They spot the things that trigger old behaviour and patterns, and learn to ignore or reverse their effects.
- Forgiveness: They learn to forgive themselves, and others, for smaller things much more easily.
- Gratitude: They don't take ANYTHING for granted. They know it's possible to lose everything at any moment, and it makes them incredibly thankful. It also makes them want to keep working to keep being grateful.

I know none of this is backed by anything beyond my own opinion. But it makes sense to me, and I've noticed how those things have changed my life for the better too.

There is, but it takes a long time.

Also true that information can be modified, or buried.


Not sure that l believe in the "losing it all idea" not unless l take out a second mortgage and go to a high roller casino and put it all on black, and then ram my four wheel drive car through their front door, since l am delighted with the outcome.

Until you believe you are capable of amazing things, you won't have success. You need to believe in yourself and the power you need to create outstanding things, you really need to tell it to yourself till you fully believe in it.

Kill your mind with the ulterior motive to have it rebuilt stronger and sharper.

The Master guides us along.

Actually it depends on your satisfaction.

How can you find the master if you haven't found yourself yet?

I think your mind gets in the middle over a great many, things.

I threw myself a "convincer" that I live in an ideal reality only limited by my imagination.

It's a mental exercise actually, tried it for two days and the results are fantastic.

This depends on the mindset behavior (action) of the person .You must also take into consideration whether or not the person has picked up any new skillsets to advance their-self to the next level.

It is so simple to see when you are present, in the moment; you cannot get over what is still in you.

Meaning if you cling to some energy aka dominant thought-feeling, you see the world through the prism of that energy. No way to get over it until you feel the feeling and get out of the mind and into the heart.

Monkey mind is all over the place, judging, doubting, skeptical, wild, excited....but the heart is love, calm, at peace, all-knowing....and it only promotes increasing success and expansion. Never anything else other than harmony and growth and freedom and fun and success.

Cool thread. Also note; the next person labeling my loving advice as woo-woo should study this thread carefully LOL. If you see the world through skeptical eyes or you resist something, goodness knows you have some serious stuff to clear. Got some sh*tty programming to feel and release. I am doing free coaching/clearing for folks but WHOOSSH over their heads LOL.

Thanks for sharing!

Of course, you have to question the mind before reaching conclusions.

Sometimes you have to be diametrically different than your usual self,
reject many notions and cherry-pick the thoughts that matter the most.
