In life and in business
there are many unforeseen obstacles. Some of these obstacles can trip us up and
cause us to fall flat on our faces.
How do you get back up?
How do you make the pain of falling on your face go away? How do you keep
going?

If you have a winning
mindset you can overcome these obstacles and use them to motivate yourself to
push forward and succeed. Here’s an outline to create your winning mindset.
1.
Define your WHY. List three top reasons that you want to succeed. The first
reason should be personal and for yourself, the second reason can be based on
loved ones and the third reason could be for anything important to you.
2.
Make a plan.
The plan should include short, medium and long term goals. Then include the
how, when, where, who and what.
3.
Accountability.
Share your plan with a friend or family member that is willing to cheer you on
and be honest with you. Even better, get a small group of supportive, positive
people who will hold you responsible and keep you on your plan.
4.
Make a daily routine and schedule. A winning mindset is built on momentum.
Checking off each thing on your to-do list daily will help you see progress and
give you motivation to continue.
5.
Use visualizations. See yourself and your goals as a campfire. Like a fire you need
to keep adjusting it, adding wood to keep the fire going and make it big. Every
step makes the fire bigger and sometimes a misstep or problem may diminish your
flames. That means you need to adjust quickly and keep the fire going.
6.
Make a plan for when you fall. Like with any injury you will need time to heal,
to evaluate what happened and maybe some physical therapy to get back to full
strength. Have a system in place that you’re comfortable with to help you
evaluate and learn from your mistakes. You could keep a journal, take a walk or
draw a map. See mistakes as detours that help get you where you want to go more
quickly.
7.
Perspective.
Goals are destinations and mistakes/missteps are detours. You will get lost
from time to time and sometimes you’ll speed ahead. That’s the nature of a
journey. It doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you get there. Having
patience will give you the long-burning fuel you need to reach your
destination.
Creating a winning
mindset is like being a great baker: it’s part science, part self-confidence
and part ingenuity. The science is in the plans you make, the confidence is in
the belief in yourself, visualizations and your perspective, and the ingenuity
is in finding ways to get things done.
