The Making Big Things Happen Mindset Shifts
When I recorded this episode, the 2022 Winter Olympics were underway in Beijing, China. After watching an interview with an Olympic skier, I was struck by the parallels between you and me.
An Olympian may train for decades for a 30-second race or downhill ski run. If that race was all that mattered, that could be pretty depressing. After all, there can only be one winner.
But if the ultimate goal is to get better and improve personally, then every race and workout can be a triumph and a stepping stone toward something incredible. When we focus on improvement and find purpose and joy in getting better, that puts the everyday “grind” in a new, sustainable light.
When the focus is on progress, that puts me in control of my outcomes.
If you’re building a business or on a self-improvement journey (which really, business growth IS personal growth), just like an Olympian, you’ve got to be in it for the long haul. There are no quick fixes and no shortcuts.
When I transitioned my face-to-face coaching business online, I threw money at various solutions, which didn’t work. Some things take time, and building momentum is one of those things. It’s built off the back of mindset and consistency.
To commit to the long game, know your purpose. NLP Tip: It should be more than just making money.
To stay excited and enthusiastic on the journey — connect deeply with your purpose.
The journey from here to there can be filled with away-from thinking, doubts, uncertainty, fear, and limiting beliefs. If it weren’t, you’d already be at your destination! The real challenge is to clean up all that debris. Over time, as you keep showing up and focus on improving, the energy in your body aligns with your desired outcome, and the positive results simply must show up in your experience.
