Mindshifting is recognizing and shifting from the mindsets that hold us back to the mindsets that push us forward. I write about mindsets, Mindshifting, learning, and education, with the hope that these posts give readers more power over their own lives and helps them give others, like their students, more power as well.
From Betrayal to Breakthrough: The Mindshift That Changed Everything
|
In 1990, I unknowingly signed a lease for a $120,000 Mercedes—not for myself, but for a business partner who wasn’t contributing. That betrayal? It was just the beginning. Soon after, in front of our board, my own father publicly declared he had no confidence in me and walked out. It was one of the most painful moments of my professional life. But it was also the beginning of a shift—one that taught me how to stop my brain from sabotaging my success. In my recent appearance on The Eternal Optimist Podcast with Matt Drinkhahn, we dive into that story, and more importantly, into what came next: → How I rebuilt the company to $11 million in revenue → How I reframed emotional triggers using neuroscience and self-awareness → Why the way we interpret events is more powerful than the events themselves 🎧 Tune in here and join us in the conversation If you’ve ever faced a moment where your mind tried to convince you to give up—this episode is for you. |
