The Essence of a Winning Mindset
Mental training and preparation is the essence of a winning mindset. Nobody is born a winner, they develop the quality through many hours of patient internal training and practice.

● Know that you are going to succeed – there will be no wondering.
● Tap into energy that lies deep inside that makes you capable of at least 20 times more than you think is possible.
● Control fear and turn stress into success.
● Keep goals very short, and be prepared for whatever comes your way.

These skills take time to develop, but there are some simple steps that make a big difference very quickly.
