Get Your Mind Right | Road to Revenue #57 Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

A leader’s mindset is derived from his or her thought processes, whether that comes from his or her conscious, subconscious, or unconscious mind. In order to get your mind right, one must evaluate the value that their thoughts, both new and repetitive, bring to their conscious and subconscious mind. Are your thoughts providing you the necessary confidence or value? Or are you wasting time and energy on those thoughts needlessly? If the new or repetitive thoughts are not valuable, then cut them!

There are all sorts of pressures that we experience (or create for ourselves) when we are making a tough call, but with the right mindset, we can avoid common pitfalls, such as negative self- talk or decision fatigue.

THE CONSCIOUS, SUBCONSCIOUS, & UNCONSCIOUS:

Our conscious mind evaluates what people think, what people say, and what people do. It takes time to get the conscious alignment necessary to make a decision.
The subconscious mind deals with the countless things that we believe.
Our unconscious competencies are tasks, abilities, or decisions you are able to execute successfully without thinking. (i.e. breathing or public speaking).

Lastly, having a positive mindset is a major asset at work and at home. In order to attain this mindset, we must build and train our minds with a simple philosophy of, “cancel, clear and connect.”

When you think of conscious thoughts that are negative, “cancel” them.
When you recognize the subconscious thoughts that are attracting the conscious thoughts, “clear” our whole mind.
When things do not leave us and they sit within our unconscious, we must utilize a mechanism to “connect” to what inspires us.

How Do I Make a Successful Career Pivot? | #AskDavidMeltzer 33 Apr 25, 2021

Show notes

I always say the only person that likes change is a wet baby. They key to pivoting is to understand that any mistakes, lessons or pain that you are learning along the way is simply an indicator that you have a lesson to learn.

Learn the lessons in the mistakes or setbacks, and have faith that everything will come in the right way at the perfect time.
