So how important is Mindset for Success?
Most of us have heard of the 80/20 rule. That 80% of our results are due to 20% of our efforts. Leadership and peak performance expert Anthony Robbins has applied Pareto’s 80/20 rule to the study of success.
He states that in almost every circumstance
“80 percent of success is due to psychology—mindset, beliefs, and emotions—and only 20 percent is due to strategy—the specific steps needed to accomplish a result”
By understanding the importance of your Mindset for success, rather than strategy will have a huge impact on your ability to achieve your desired goals in life!
For example, when it comes to losing weight. How many people do you know that know every strategy known to man on how to lose weight, but are still overweight? How is this possible?
They have the aptitude, but don’t have the correct attitude to achieve success!
In the famous movie called the Miracle, when the young USA team beat the all time favourites, the Russians in the 1980 Olympics winter Olympics, this only became possible because they believed they could do this, even though their skill and ability did not match the Russians.
You can actually watch the final speech from the movie given by their coach just before the finals match here:
There is also a quote from Virgil, a famous Roman poet born in 70BC, who said THEY CAN BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN!
Henry Ford’s also had a famous quote – IF YOU THINK YOU CAN OR YOU THINK YOU CAN’T EITHER WAY YOU ARE RIGHT!!
What’s amazing about Anthony’s Robbins Success Principle is that it also applies in Business,
Brian Tracey, is a Canadian-American motivational public speaker and self-development author & has this famous quote about Business Sales Success:
So how can you use this Success principle to your advantage, whether it be in your personal life or your business/work?
- Accept the importance of Mindset for Success.
- Become more aware of your thoughts and begin to appreciate how they’re holding you back from achieving the Success you want.
- Become obsessed with your personal development & look for any techniques that can be used to empower & motivate you to success
- For any negative or limiting thoughts that you may experience, start to really question their validity. Yes, they may come into your mind throughout the day, but take responsibility as to whether you take any notice of them & let them go if they no longer serve you!
- If necessary, get help with any limiting beliefs or values that you may have that continue holding you back from achieving success, for example, with hypnosis or NLP!
- Live your life by the following quote from Tony Robbins:
To your optimum Health, Well being & Success!
