    I think so, relatively speaking. If I see a person I've never met before jump a hurdle, I can largely come to the conclusion it's possible for me to replicate, all things being equal. However, my investment in this mentality is probably not "all in." I would more than likely test the waters...

    The funny thing is, it's likely they're saying those things because it's why they believe they shouldn't/can't/won't. Not only do we need to focus on our perceptions, but how we receive others'.

    Self-Doubt and worry keep crawling into my head.

    MINDSET 
    I applaud this thought process. @AndrewNC is absolutely right. You likely aren't doubting the project itself. It's likely you're starting to fear the execution of the path you've laid before yourself. It's literally all in your head. Does the project serve a specific market? Does the project...

    Your Focus Determines Your Reality.

    @Mattie First of all, great post. I'm always one to champion the underling. Who doesn't love an underdog? But this is false. You learning from him was not the sole reason you achieved a goal. It's actually because you took action. Bear Bryant may have provided guidance, but if you achieved a...

    Your Focus Determines Your Reality.

    I understand your sentiment and I acknowledge this is correct. I nearly didn't answer your original question about natural disasters because, quite honestly, my answering it wouldn't necessarily bear fruit for the point of this entire thread; however, I promised in my intro thread to do my best...

    Your Focus Determines Your Reality.

    Why are you focusing on something that is not only outside of your control, but such little possibility? If it's truly a large enough possibility, why don't you already have a plan? Are you creating solutions or excuses? Focus on what can push you forward, not on what can set you back. You...

    Your Focus Determines Your Reality.

    Let's discuss this. I'm leaning closer towards what @SinisterLex said, that we shouldn't limit our goals. But let's talk about why that is. Goals are the finish line for a particular series of actions. Would you agree? If I do "x" actions, your goal is to attain/obtain "y" result. By simply...

    Haven't we all? You must unlearn what you have learned.

    Your Focus Determines Your Reality.

    In life. In business. In happiness. One of my children is still but a youngling. He doesn't speak yet, other than the occasional bit of sign language we've taught him. His mannerisms are wondrous, and he's very, very smart. Having an older brother to look up to, he's consistently pushing the...

    PEOPLE 
    My dad used to take me to the racetrack when I was younger. I have very fond memories of it. It was loud, aggressive, and exciting, with cars constantly battling it out to pass the guy in front of them. It's not like on television where it's little more than background noise and a scrolling...

    INTRO 
    The first time I ever broke stride because of the Comfort Creep, it was a very alien feeling to me. I would assume it's the same for others. Most of us have a preconceived notion to how we might feel when we finally 'achieve' a desired level of comfort. But, I can tell you from experience, it's...

    INTRO 
    Hey guys/gals. Time for a proper intro thread. Years ago, I was strolling the slowlane. Didn't know it, but I was just kicking tires down the sidewalk and gawking at everyone passing by, wondering why it wasn't me. I did everything right, though! Went to a good, suburban high school...

    Business Broker Strategy As Part of Exit Plan

    EXECUTION 
    This is often the case. Nurses are commissioned for each medical exam they complete, so it's in their best interest to get it done, and get it done fast. They are ALWAYS free. To expand on the entire life insurance exam thing: Completing an exam is the only way to get the true lowest cost per...

    Business Broker Strategy As Part of Exit Plan

    EXECUTION 
    It's not complicated; keep it simple. How much would it cost to replace you inside your business? How much would it cost to replace you to your family? That's really it. In regards to business: If you're a sole proprietor, you'll need to have enough of a policy to A.) hire someone to keep...
