This is the last episode of the Mindset Series. We’ve covered the Happiness Mindset, the Self-Care Mindset, the Belief Mindset, and the Manifestor’s Mindset. Now we bring it all together in the System’s Mindset. 

People feel frustrated when they can’t take the actions they need to make sustainable progress in their lives. It’s not that we lack the ability or the willpower to make healthy changes in our life—it’s that we don’t have systems or blueprints to follow. We need accountability and a vision for who we want to become. 

Take a look at the stats. According to The American Society for Training and Development, of people who…

  • Consciously decide to set a goal, only 25% achieve their goal.
  • Decide when they will do it, 40% achieve their goal.
  • Plan how they will do it, 50% achieve their goal.
  • Commit to someone else they will do it, 65% achieve their goal.
  • Have a specific accountability appointment with the person they committed to (a coach), 95% achieve their goal!

We gravely overestimate the effect of tiny, small changes in our lives and we give up way too easily because we aren’t seeing results fast enough. Believe it or not, you don’t have to take massive action to get massive results. In fact, you can treat your life like compound interest and stay laser-focused on an area of improvement, taking small actionable steps to create a ripple effect in your life. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously extract your old beliefs, and to download a new set of beliefs that match up with the reality you want to create.
