Summary

Today I have a very special episode for you!  Preston Prugmire, a life coach and host of the "Next Level Life" podcast, joins me to talk about the deep inner work of mindset transformation and moving away from a victim mentality in our life and business. 

Mindset is more important than strategy when it comes to success as an entrepreneur

Most network marketers have the issue we call "victim mentality." 

But what happens when we look at every single aspect of our life and say, "I'm no longer going to be a victim in my business.  I am no longer going to be a victim in my marriage.  I am no longer going to be a victim to my finances." 

We often focus on the gaps that exist in achieving success.  We look for what we accuse.  What we can embrace as an excuse for NOT being successful in an area of life. 

We always think that we're missing some strategy or quick fix that will actually create the success we crave.  However, what's really holding us back is the fact that we embrace these excuses that allow us to be a victim in the first place!

Once we shift our mindset and not seek these excuses, we win the battle!  The strategy, tactic, action, or method will come along.  But, it's the mindset shift that is the most important component in achievement!

So stay tuned as we're going to discuss more about mindset transformation, surrender and success, and some very powerful insights from Preston about the issues of victim mentality.

Episode Quotes

"Mindset is more important than strategy when it comes to success as an entrepreneur."

"If you have the right mindset that your goals are inevitable then the path becomes less important."

"Take a breath and have some compassion for yourself."

"You need to hate your situation in order to get out of it."

"Gratitude is the gateway drug to joy."

"Surrendering is detaching my value from the outcome... and then I am not attached to the success or the failure."

"Success is the person you become along the way to your success."

"Whatever you are experiencing right now is a direct result of your past thinking."

"There is uncertainty in being a conscious creator, but there can be certainty within the creation."
