I'm Sam Wood, and this is your motivational moment for this week, and we're going to talk about training your mindset for the best chance of success. Now, one thing that is crucial for determining our success is whether or not we have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. And that's something that many of you may not have thought about before. It's something you may not have even thought which of those two camps do you fall into. So fixed mindset, they tend to believe that you either
have something or you don't. You're born with this athletic prowess or you're not. You're born with self control or you're not. This is just how I am. Nothing I can do about it, full stop. So if you're fixed mindset, you avoid starting things that might be challenging, you give up quickly once you do things and they fail, or you experience any kind of setback, no matter how big osmall.
You tend to look at things that other people have achieved as a threat, as though sometimes they don't deserve them, or they only have that because they were born with this natural gift. There's not necessarily been any hard work associated with that success for that particular person. In that particular area of their life. The growth mindset type of person believes that things can be learned, talent can be learned,
and you can absolutely improve in anything. People with a growth mindset they embrace new things, even when it's high risk or they might fail numerous occasions. They see setbacks as temporary but a necessary part of the success. They see other success rather than a threat, as an inspiration. And the growth mindset person who's often seen by the fixed mindset person as someone that has a really large skill set or is incredibly successful, I think there would
still be some of us. I think most of us are in a camp one or the other. Which category do you fall into? You're a fixed mindset or a growth mindset And the most important part of this little motivational moment is to actually understand and accept that if you are finding that you're a fixed mindset person, that
you can change. And I guess it's the sort of irony because a fixed mindset person may not think that they can change because they feel like this is just how I am, this is how I was born, these are all the things that just come with me, and I can't change it, and it's absolute nonsense. Might not be a clickifing your job, but you can absolutely get
there over time. And one of the first things that you can do to help you make this shift, because it might not be an overnight shift, but one of the first things you can do to help you make this shift is change the way you look at failure. Which brings us to our little list of tasks that
I have for you this week. So this is for all of you fixed mindset people, if that's you, I actually want you to consider something that you have done that you deemed a failure, something that you've tried recently and you've failed and you've given up on, and you're going to bring that task back out of the drawer. You're going to dust it off, and you're going to
do two things. The first thing is you're going to look at why you've failed last time, and you're going to ask yourself, what is one thing that I can learn from that failure that's going to help me succeed when I try it again. Because the second thing you do is you're going to have another crack at It doesn't matter what it is. It can be in your fitness life, it could be in your personal life. It can be in your business life. It doesn't matter. You're
going to pick one thing. So we're looking at the failure as an opportunity to learn rather than a full stop in the quest to achieve it. So that's your homework, or you listen to us for that week. I can't wait to hear how you go spe to your son. M hmmmm mm hmmm mmm mm hmmmmm hmm
