Keep Your Winning Mentality
I hope this newsletter finds you well and in good spirits despite the ongoing turbulence in the world. As we navigate through these uncertain times, it is important to maintain a positive outlook and a winner’s mentality. In this issue, we will discuss how to keep a winner’s mentality through the current world turbulence of fear with banks collapsing, inflation, talks of the Great Reset and potential War.
First and foremost, it is essential to stay informed but not consumed by the news. It is easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom headlines, but it is important to remember that there is always a silver lining. Instead of focusing on the negative, we can choose to focus on the positive and find opportunities to thrive. You have to know the rules to the game that’s being played. The media loves to fear monger because it pays them more to have your attention and so do governments because it gives them more control. This isn’t anything new. So stay focused on your “circle of influence” which are areas in your life you can actually control versus things you cannot.
One of the ways to keep a winner’s mentality is to stay disciplined in our finances. In times of inflation and bank collapses, it is crucial to manage our money effectively. We can do this by creating a budget, cutting unnecessary expenses, and investing wisely. By taking control of our finances, we can feel empowered and confident in our ability to weather any storm. It’s been very easy to win over the past 10-12 years with interest rates being extremely low it allowed for an easy winning environment. Warren Buffet said, “Only when the tide goes out do we discover who’s been swimming naked.” We have been in a recession over the past year but we haven’t really felt it yet. It’s coming though. So stay focused on spending less and doubling down into your businesses, side hustles and making yourself more valuable to your job and the marketplace.
Another key to maintaining a winner’s mentality is to surround ourselves with positivity. We can do this by staying connected with loved ones, joining online communities of like-minded individuals, and consuming uplifting content. By surrounding ourselves with positivity, we can stay motivated and inspired to reach our goals. We can feed off of other peoples energy. Remember, misery loves company. When things get tough you want to be around tough people. Find a community of tough people and join them so that it helps you grow!
Lastly, it is important to remain adaptable and flexible in these uncertain times. We must be willing to pivot and adjust our plans as needed. By being open to change, we can stay ahead of the curve and take advantage of new opportunities that arise. In times where crazy things are happening in the market you have a decision to either sit in your bunker and wait the storm out or you can decide to play in the rain. I suggest get comfortable being uncomfortable now because those who double and triple their actions during this time have the most potential to come out of this creating true wealth for themselves as many others that were bunkered down trying to wait until things get better are going to get wrecked. Now is your time to get in the game and play harder than you ever have before.
In conclusion, while the world may be experiencing turbulence, we can choose to maintain a winner’s mentality by staying informed but not consumed by the news, staying disciplined in our finances, surrounding ourselves with positivity, and remaining adaptable and flexible. Remember, we are all in this together, and together we can overcome any obstacle.
Stay strong, stay positive, and keep winning my friend!
