WHY DOES SELF-TALK MATTER?
Success results from our actions
Actions are filtered by our feelings
Feelings are based on our attitudes
Attitudes come from our beliefs
Beliefs are purely programming

MILLIONAIRE MINDSET/SELF-TALK
WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR YOU CAN’T YOU’RE PROBABLY RIGHT
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN, YOU ARE;
IF YOU THINK THAT YOU DARE NOT, YOU DON’T;
IF YOU’D LIKE TO WIN, BUT YOU THINK YOU CAN’T, IT’S ALMOST CERTAIN YOU WON’T.
IF YOU THINK YOU’LL LOSE, YOU’VE LOST;
FOR OUT IN THE WORLD YOU’LL FIND
SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A FELLOW’S WILL.
IT’S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND.
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE OUTCLASSED, YOU ARE;
YOU’VE GOT TO THINK HIGH TO RISE;
YOU’VE GOT TO BE SURE OF YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN EVER WIN A PRIZE.
LIFE’S BATTLES DON’T ALWAYS GO
TO THE STRONGER OR FASTER MAN;
BUT SOONER OR LATER THE MAN WHO WINS
IS THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN. “A plaque has hung in my office for many years carrying the above selection of free verse. I am not aware of its origin, but consider it a pertinent guideline for one to pursue in life
and toward specific goals as well.” - Arnold Palmer
EXAMPLES OF RATIONALIZATIONS • “It's not me, it's the market.”
• “I could have hit my goals if I had really wanted to.”
• “People just don't want to make decisions at the moment.”
• “I don't need to get new clients. I just need to farm my existing ones.”
• “I don't need to write my goals down; I've got them in my head.”
• “Why should I work hard? Others don't and they do ok.”
• “I don't want to exceed my targets by too much. My manager will only increase my targets for next month.”
