All of us, at some point or another, get "stuck" in life. We lose momentum, clarity and motivation. In this episode I share with you a simple formula, in a series of questions, designed specifically to generate that tangible momentum we all need. This is a prerequisite for accomplishing what we want, at a very high level.

Your mindset is everything... It determines what you do, how you respond, and ultimately what results you get.    What comprises your “mindset” is a series and combination of what I call “mentalities”. If your mindset is your wardrobe, your mentalities represent the many outfits you own and can deploy at any given moment.    Most are rigid, and have only 1-2 outfits. This leaves them stuck, frustrated and without hope in the face of so many of life’s circumstances.    So many are spoiled and want things to be given to them, that when things aren't, they complain. Take a look at social media... critics... trolls... fans... they love to complain, and demand more from those they watch. Aside from these people... you most likely do this as well. I want to show you how to identify when you're being entitled. I'll show you how to develop the mentality of a true boss; one who takes responsibility for everything.   KILLERINSTINCTSYSTEM.COM
