Happy Wednesday Everyone. This morning I’m reading Buy Back Your Time by Dan Miller. Reading and listening to mentors accounts for a lot of my success thus far! In the beginning it was watching YouTube videos, then I went to weekend events, then I started paying to join communities, and finally today I mentor others and own businesses with the people I look up to. I still read about 10-20 books a year depending how busy I am. Now I listen to a lot of podcasts as well. Make a post in this discussion group “Mindset” on what has impacted your journey the most so far? Was it a mentor or coach that believed in you? Maybe it was a hardship you had to over come? Or even a decision that you wanted more out of life. I can’t wait to read all of your stories. Sharing is caring. In this channel I will share some of the things that have a huge impact on me and the way I see the world.

Now I am focused on creating a life for me that is centered around balance and me being in control of my time.

Two major things that have evolved my mindset recently: 1) Having a battle buddy/business partner/best friend relationship that helps me stay mentally young and hungry. Every challenge that comes up solidifies our bond and partnership and I am grateful and fortunate. This relationship continuously improves my mindset and is a life-changer for me. 2) Latest read is Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. A story that helps focus my energy on what truly matters in this life - the ones you love and love you back. A powerful book about legacy and never giving up.
