Mindset works without a doubt.We all have that ability to push ourselves onto greater and greater achievements.Gaining the success we want simply by using the power of our brain.However most people don't as they only focus on what they don't have in their lives.They spend their time and energies looking at what is missing instead.In today's podcast episode with the amazing Eric James, you will hear how one man turned his life on its head simply by deciding that he wanted more.This is the most amazing conversation (if we say so ourselves) that shouldn't just be listened to one time as you are mowing the lawn.This is one of those conversations that you should study like an MBA.If you want to know if mindset works like he says it does, then simply listen to the story at the end and watch your own life change forever.How He Proved That Mindset WorksAs you will hear through the show Eric's life was quite different from where he is today, taking photos around the world, inspiring millions.He was in a dark, dark place, where through panic attacks, and a poor self-image his life was only going one way.He couldn't even get a job in Blockbusters video store due to the stress he felt putting himself into the interview position.Eric however had a dream that he could get a better life for himself.He discovered this through one of the strangest routes possible.After a conversation with a marijuana loving gentleman one day he was directed to a book by Tony Robins, the American mindset guru.Eric, hadn't heard of Tony at that time, but through reading the pages of the book realised that without a doubt mindset works if he could only apply those lessons.Over the next few years, Eric began challenging himself to tackle bigger and bigger obstacles as he watched his life and his bank balance improve exponentially.Mindset Works Again - He Took It To A New LevelOnce you get to the point that you know that everything you want starts within yourself, you will never look back.Eric, had moved on from the scared and timid individual that would shake and sweat during crisis.Eric now was so on his game that he could dream so big that it actually could take him into space.Like we all do, Eric took lots of flights, and would waste time flicking through the in-flight magazines left for our enjoyment.Most of the time, there is nothing in those pages other than adverts for perfumes and the odd semi interesting article.When your mind starts looking for opportunities every piece of information you get given can be the key to a new amazing adventure.This was the case with Eric, and he saw an opportunity to meet one of the greatest exponents of the "Mindset Works" practice - Richard Branson.Show HighlightsDuring the episode we discussed why mindset works with Eric through such weighty topics such as:How as a small child he remembers always being excited by the opportunities that occurred around him, which he still has today!What he did to get himself in a two way shoot with another person to go up in space with Sir Richard Branson by pure hustle!How an online magic site, became his first online business and was a huge success much to his personal surprise!The magic of meeting a man smoking marijuana who taught him the ultimate formula of success ever!Why the way you feel at any moment of your life can be changed into a positive state of mind…it's purely down to usAnd lastly proving that mindset works…..How the biggest goal you can hope to achieve will actually be the easiest one to actually achieve!How You Can Change Your Mindset TooOf course the first thing you need to do is listen to this show and subscribe to every episode that we deliver through Join Up Dots.Secondly, you need to start surrounding yourself with like minded individuals who really want to go for it.Not the mates that just drag you down the pub on a Friday night, but the ones that want to challenge themselves to do more everyday.If you can't find these easily then look for local sports clubs, evening classes, and those people will come into your life.Then you need to start taking action in your life, to gain the belief that mindset works for you, as much as everyone else.Once you believe in yourself and you can see the results then you are truly on your way to greatness.Lastly, you have to keep doing it.Don't just think that you can be all inspired for a week and then fall back into your old habits when the miracles don't appear.You need to say "This is the new me and this is how I live" day in day out until the mindset works become second nature.
