One of the single-most impactful determinants of our outcomes in life is our self-concept: Our identity. Whether we see ourselves as the victims of circumstance or victors over our challenges. It plays out in everything from miscommunications at work to compensation conversations.\nThe victim mindset tells you that you're not in control of your outcomes, while the victor's mindset acknowledges that\u2014while life isn't fair\u2014you have some control over your outcomes and are capable of overcoming the challenges you're presented with. At the crux of it all is a sense of control.\nSometimes, we ascribe to a victim mindset and undermine our own resilience, capacity, and control\u2014and stand in our own way in the process. Making the conversation more complicated? The reality of victimization and privilege.\nMy guest today, Dominick Quartuccio, gives us a three-step framework to rewire these negative thought patterns, design a future we can "live into," and regain control over our lives and finances.\n--\nFollow Along\nDominick Quartuccio: https://www.dominickq.com/\xa0\nAyishat Akanbi's book, The Awokening: Clarity, Culture ,and Identity in the Web of Chaos\nListen to Money with Katie here: https://www.podpage.com/money-with-katie-show/\nRead Money with Katie: https://moneywithkatie.com/\n\xa0\nFollow Money with Katie!\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/moneywithkatie/\nTwitter - https://twitter.com/moneywithkatie\nTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@moneywithkatie\n\nThis episode is sponsored by Betterment.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
