I've really fired a lot of managers that had that mindset or publicists that had that mindset of, 'Oh, you need to go on a date with this person because it's going to help album sales.' No thank you. That's not my flow.
The scientific-rational mindset is as much a cosmology as the Catholic mindset was in the Middle Ages; scientists are so proud of their mindset and convinced that it's the only reality. I find that worrying.
What we really need is a mindset shift that will make us relevant to todays consumers, a mindset shift from telling to selling to building relationships.
Your mindset matters. If you don't have the mindset of a wealthy person ("How can I afford it?") versus a poor person ("I can't afford it."), you will never achieve wealth.
People often confuse a growth mindset with being flexible or open-minded or with having a positive outlook - qualities they believe they've simply always had. My colleagues and I call this a false growth mindset.
Successful people do not have a part-time mindset nor a full-time mindset, but a lifetime mindset.
There was a lot of disappointment and rejection that came really early in my life, until I had to change my mindset and become even stronger.
The biggest thing I learned from being in the special forces is the decision-making process and also the willingness not to give up. You need to have a certain mindset. I call it a positive mindset.
It really didn't matter how much work I had to put in... I was always going to give my best. And I think that if a lot of kids can realize that, and stick with that mindset, they won't get so stressed about certain things, and they can just live and play freely.
If you want to be rich, be friends with people who have the same mindset as you, or who at least won't try to change your mindset to be more like theirs. Life is too short to spend time with people who don't help you move forward.
I've had high-powered publicists in my career, and I've had publicists when they've had no power. I've run the gamut.
Music does help me a lot with my character, with the fact that I have to have a really good theme song, something that I can get into while I'm walking down the ramp. It puts me into that mindset that I'm going into a mosh pit.
That mindset never changes. It should never change. If you've been in the league for 14 years or been in the league not even a day, you should have that mindset that you're going to go out there and prove yourself and earn a spot.
First, confidence in your talent and then confidence that the team is going to look for you, because they need you. And when you reach that point, it changes a lot, because your mindset is completely different.
I had a persistent mindset that I was going to make something happen for myself.
When someone endorses a fixed mindset, it can limit them, even if they're successful at the moment, because if they start struggling and tumbling, they can lose their confidence, but also, they may not create a growth mindset environment for others.
People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new.
