5 Mental Attitudes of Winners

5 Mental Attitudes of Winners

By Mike Brooks, Mr. Inside Sales

Note: Although this is targeted towards sales people, the principles and attitudes apply to EVERYONE so read this and take it to heart!

Success in sales, as in all of life, starts by first developing and maintaining an expectant attitude of success. Simply put, all top performers expect that they are going to succeed, and because of this they consistently take the actions that lead them to achieve their goals and become successful.

It is their mental attitudes that allow them to meet obstacles, setbacks and temporary failures with a new resolve to keep trying, or to try something different, until they succeed. That’s what makes them top 20% producers.

The other 80%, on the other hand, expect things to be difficult, have already accepted that they might not succeed, and they are easily discouraged when things don’t go their way. This attitude allows them to justify and accept the results they get.

If you are serious about changing your career and your life, then get in the practice of working on your mental attitude first. Adopt these 5 mental attitudes of winners to powerfully change your ways of thinking and to permanently change your results.

1) Understand the law. There are many absolute laws in the universe – the law of gravity, the laws of mathematics, etc. The most powerful law in terms of your success is the law of attraction. In short, whatever you hold in your consciousness you will manifest in your life.

So if you don’t like your results, then look at their source (your thoughts, expectations and beliefs), and work on changing those first. Once you do, your results will automatically change.

2) Stop blaming. So many people blame the economy, the leads, their territory, their boss, their family, etc., for their failure. But the truth is this: You are 100% responsible for your life and your results. Winners accept this and that’s where their power comes from. When you accept 100% responsibility you then gain access to 100% of the solutions.

3) Stop struggling. Success is easy because all results are simply an out picturing (a physical manifestation) of what we hold in our consciousness (our beliefs). The reason most people struggle (and fail) is because they try to achieve something without first changing their mental attitudes.

Winners recognize and work on changing their attitudes and beliefs and expectations first, and then they easily and naturally take the actions that lead to the achievement of their goals.

4) Live life’s formula. Most people live under the false belief that if they HAVE a lot of money, then they would DO the things that would allow them to BE happy. This is totally backward.

The real formula for success is to first “BE”– act, feel and live in your mind as if you had already achieved your goal – and then you will naturally DO the things (take the actions) that will enable you to HAVE what you want. This is life’s true formula and the sooner you live it, the sooner you’ll experience success.

5) Stop worrying. All thoughts turn into things. If you constantly worry about not having enough money, you will never have enough money. If instead you develop a money consciousness (see the banner at the end of this ezine for MP3 hypnosis recordings to help you do this), then you will attract all the money you need. Believe me, there is enough money in the world for you to have the things you want!

Carefully monitor your thoughts right before you fall asleep at night and first thing in the morning. Then ask yourself, “What am I asking from the universe every single day?” Chances are, what you are dwelling on has already shown up in your life.

I hope these 5 mental attitudes of winners resonated with you. Like gravity, they work in and on your life whether you consciously practice them or not. The key is to understand and use them purposefully to achieve the results you want. Once you do, you will manifest success just like the top 20% do.

A Lesson From Nature

A Lesson from Nature
by Napoleon Hill

Everything, animate or inanimate, starts out as a nucleus – a whirling bit of energy which, although so small as to defy the lens of the microscope, has the power to attract to itself whatever of a like nature it requires for its sustenance and growth.

Remember the acorn and the handful of earth. Locked up within that acorn is the germ of life, the nucleus which is capable of drawing from its surrounding elements of soil, air, water, and sunlight, the materials to build an oak tree.

Take a seed of corn or wheat; plant it in the ground and it will create a center of activity which attracts from its environment the precise balance of chemical constituents which will produce a cornstalk, or a stalk of wheat, and bring forth a reproduction of itself, according to the law of growth and increased returns.

These analogies help us to get a true picture of the power of the mind through self-suggestion. You can see how it is possible to sow a seed of desire with the subconscious mind through conscious expressed repetition of this desire … to feed and nourish this seed by the stimulus of high emotion … to germinate it by the sunshine of faith, and thus to attract to yourself from the bounteous supply of life energy in Infinite Intelligence the practical plans whereby that original seed of desire may be developed into its physical counterpart.

The law of attraction is based upon the principle of growth from the vitality which is inherent in the seed (idea or desire) itself. Every seed has, in itself, a potentially perfect plant. Every worthy desire has in it the potential power for its perfect fulfillment. If a seed is to germinate and produce a crop after its own kind, it must be planted in fertile soil, it must have nourishment, and it must have sunshine to ripen it for harvest.

Your subconscious mind can be compared to a fertile garden spot wherein may be planted the seed of your definite purpose, by means of a burning desire which imparts the initial energy into the nucleus of your definite purpose, and causes it to enlarge and grow. Now we have explained how the seed may be nourished and cultivated by persistent action according to your plans and through repeated instructions to your subconscious. Also how you may attract the vitalizing influence of Infinite Intelligence and focus it on the object of your desire. Here you have the whole process laid before you. It is a process which is going on all around you in countless forms of life. It is not a matter of theory. It is a demonstrated fact. You have only to adapt it to y our own definite purpose.

Action Steps From “12 Conditions of A Miracle”

I don’ t know if you’re familiar with the book, “12 Conditions of a Miracle”,  but you might consider picking it up. We did a teleseminar on  it and I felt it was one of the best teleseminars we’ve done. Anne went over things that were in the book but added her “Anne-isms” which always provide practical steps to take to apply the principles in your life. So, I thought I’d share those with you today..

Instructions from Anne on “The Twelve Conditions of a Miracle”

In order to make this work it requires your attention.  Spend a minimum of 30 minutes twice a day.
Begin with step one tonight.   Create a big vacuum.   Be willing to let go of everything that interferes
with your dream/miracle.  You will be surprised at the things you decide to get rid of.  Use denials in every category of your life.  Let go of things, people, situations, anything that prevents your miracle
from occurring.

Day 1: (Create Emptiness)
Meditate twice a day for 30 minutes creating your alignment and meditating on the energy flow into your life.

Day 2: (Create Alignment)
Ask by being specific in colors, events, praise, appreciation, gratitude, bring feeling in and establish the cause that brings about the effect you have chosen.


Day 3
:   (Create a Strong Asking Power)
Take this day to inventory and act upon how you can utilize what you already know to strengthen your resolve.

Day 4:   (Maximize Your Resources)
Spend  30 minutes meditating and making affirmations on the joy of knowing your potential and 30  minutes on appreciating your new insights.

Day 5:  (Be Giving in Things That Matter)
Spend 4 segments of 15 minutes each.

1st segment choose new ways you can give.  Think of giving yourself by doing nice things, writing notes, giving a book,  teaching a class, helping a neighbor, making a phone call to someone you haven’t seen in a long while.

Then take the other 3 segments and do these things for someone.

Day 6:  (Stay Grounded)
Spend your drive time appreciating the scenery, even when it isn’t very pretty.

Bless the city you live in, bless your house, bless the people on the streets.

When you get home, look around at what you have surrounded yourself with.

Enjoy things that you have collected.

Imagine the fun you were having when you received them.

Bless all reminders of good things.

Day 7: (Visualization)
Think of a song that you have available to match the desire you have been working on.  Play it through two times while visualizing the goal you will have achieved.

Day 8:  (Gratitude)
Morning:  Make a list of all the people who have done special things for you that you are grateful for. Remember you can use the Gratitude Journal for that.

Night:  Make a list of all the people who through their words have helped you achieve a feeling of
self confidence or courage to do something you were afraid to do.

Day 9
:   (Act as if)
Morning: Write a note to someone who gave you the courage to do something you were afraid to do.

Night: Visualize something you are afraid to do now as if you are already doing it and are very
comfortable about it.  Hear applause for a job well done.

Day 10:   (Engaging the Cycle)
Morning: Write a list of things you would like to accomplish.  Select the most important to start next.

Night: Write in detail everything you can think of to be specific in what you desire.

Day 11:   (Receiving)
Morning: Pretend you have just been handed a special gift you really wanted.  Concentrate on how you feel in opening  the gift.

Night: Imagine yourself being excited in telling others of your gift.

Day 12
:  (Recycle)
Morning: Hear yourself telling people how easy this is when you get specific and believe in the method.

Night: Use your list of desires to bless for the ease you will have in attracting them into your life.

Day 13:   Appreciate the spiritual laws that allow you to create your hearts desires.
Begin to ask for wonderful miracles every day.

Print these things out and see if  you apply them what will happen in your life. Let us know what does happen.

Faith & Gratitude…Plus an update

I wanted to let you know how things were going with my little “girl” – Jackie!

Although there were two episodes where I was close to having her euthanized, my specialist vet persisted and kept calming me down telling me not to give up yet.

Lo and behold he found the miracle. She’s on a medicine twice a day and a special diet and she is like a brand new doggie…active, lovable, talkative (in Siberian Husky lingo) and happy.

Needless to say so is “mom” –  every day I express my gratitude that the specialist had the faith to keep on going.

Thanks for all the support and prayers from all the Getting Unstuck, LLC friends and family. I could not have made it without you.

How Do You Measure Success?

I’ve been traveling for the past 2 days – out of 36 hours I was on a plane for 10 hours and in airports for 7-8 additional hours….all just to give a one hour presentation…..So, I’m beat. But before I go take a nap before the Yankees play tonight I wanted to tell you something I saw while rushing to a plane last night.

I didn’t even stop to read the entire ad but what caught my attention was “We measure our success by what we give back…….”

How startling is that? To see that in the middle of all the other “buy my product” signs someone was talking about giving back.

A good question to ask yourself right now and even every day perhaps is “How do I measure my success”?

Tell us below how you measure success. 

I know I just love to give back to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in memory of my hero/angel Suzanne. Check out the tribute page and read about why she’s my hero. If you love to help children feel free to donate in her memory as you give thanks that the children in your life are healthy!
