“To be yourself in a world that is

constantly trying to make you

something else is the greatest

accomplishment.”

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Unapologetic authenticity

Live & work by your own set of core values

(e.g. biz partners)

No one can do what you do – creates your

unique brand/niche

Inner Authority (effortless)

Stop competing & start creating

“If you act like a victim, you are

likely to be treated as one.”

--Paulo Coelho

Take responsibility for:

What you do

What others do (yes!)

Your attitude (gratitude & look for lesson)

Your thoughts (toward self & others)

Every single situation you find yourself in

Complain vs. Finding Solution (mutually

exclusive)

Forget luck

Forget what other people are doing

Forget what you are “owed”

Forget all expectations for others

Forget all expectations for what should

happen

Stop blaming others

Stop having expectations for others—how

do you manage this in a business?

Take responsibility for your attitude in every situation Relentless positivity (what does

that mean?)

“It can’t be done” “How might we…?”

Your words literally create your reality

Question the status quo AND other

people’s limiting beliefs

“It is literally true that you can

succeed best and quickest by

helping others to succeed.”

--Napoleon Hill

Empathy vs. Defensiveness

Helping others doesn’t lessen your own

contributions

Empowers you AND them

Lack vs. Abundance

Cultivates trust

There’s enough happiness, success

and money to go around

True fulfillment has to be about others

Our passions/purposes are others-

directed

Find ways to cultivate:

› Deliver remarkable content

› Offer mentorship/internship opportunities

› Don’t miss a chance to give someone a

compliment (don’t be stingy with praise)

› Don’t miss an opportunity to say thank you

“Smooth seas do not make

skillful sailors.”

--African Proverb

“Learn to fail, or fail to learn.”

--Tal Ben-Shahar

“Named must your fear be before banish it you can.” --Yoda

Fear of failure/perfectionism (keeps us in holding pattern)

Fear of confrontation

Fear of disappointing others, e.g. parents

Journey vs. destination

Only via failures that we can ultimately succeed The best learning comes from action

The Perfectionist The Optimalist

Journey as a straight line Journey as irregular spiral

Fear of failure Failure as feedback

Focus on destination (rat racer) Focus on journey & destination

(gratitude in present, hopeful for

future)

All-or-nothing thinking (prevents

action)

“Good enough” thinking (ready,

fire, aim, aim, aim…)

Defensive Open to suggestions/feedback

Fault-finder Benefit-finder (optimist)

Harsh Forgiving (empathic)

Rigid, static Adaptable, dynamic

Expectations for what “should be” get

into trouble. How can we not be

disappointed when things don’t go to

plan? [Psst. They never do!]

“A man sooner or later discovers that he

is the master-gardener of his soul, the

director of his life.”

--James Allen

“Where success is concerned, people

are not measured in inches, or pounds,

or college degrees, or family

background; they are measured by the

size of their thinking.”

--David Schwartz

Easier to stay small—certainty/security

Can you learn to take a risk?

Practical Pessimism: Go right to worst-case scenario and ask, what’s the alternative?

Persistence means commitment and determination. It is

a commitment to finish what you start.

The Power of Persistence

When we are exhausted, quitting, looks good. But

winners endure. Ask a winning athlete. He endures pain

and finishes what he started. Lots of failures have begun

well but have not concluded anything.

Persistence comes from purpose. Life without

purpose is drifting.

A person who has no purpose will never persevere

and will never be fulfilled.

7. Pride of Performance

Excellence comes when the performer takes pride in

doing his best.

Pride of performance does not represent ego. It represents pleasure with

humility. The quality of the work and the quality and the worker are

inseparable. Half-hearted effort does not produce half results; it

produces no results.

Every thing we do is a self-portrait of the person who does it,

regardless of what the job is, whether

washing cars, sweeping the floor or painting a house. Pride

comes from within, which is what gives the winning edge.

“Learning is not attained by chance, it

must be sought for with ardor and

attended to with diligence.”

–Abigail Adams

2. Take 100% responsibility

3. Give it all away

5. Rest-based Living

6. Think big

7. Be a life-long learner

“To live is the rarest thing in the

world. Most people exist,

that is all.”

--Oscar Wilde

“Remember success is a decision a

planned & well prepared to not only a

dream ….”
