Everyone is convinced success is determined by your mindset, success comes in many forms, has anyone any personal story's on how they developed a mindset to achieve there own personal success :) ?

Be great to get this going:)

Thanks
 
I think this answer would really differ from each individual, but here's my thought - anyone that achieves their goals is in, within their own mindset, successful. Growing up, I wanted to have a lot of money and be really strong, today I have achieved both of those things. I'm benching in the 400's, squatting in the mid 500's, deadlifting 600 at 225lbs 9% bodyfat, but yet I'm still not satisfied. Last year I made over $100,000, but I'm still striving to make more money. I'm always trying to find ways to expand or make my home nicer and no matter what I do I still strive for more, constantly adding things onto my truck, but for some reason I'm always wanting to add more. To a lot of people I'm a success, but then I go to work with surgeons that make way more than me. To them, I am not a success, but "average". I guess it all just depends on the individual.

The Wealthy Barber, Updated 3rd Edition

" . . . quite simply the best financial self-help book."
--Money Book Club, Book-of-the-Month Club
In this new and updated edition of one of the biggest-selling financial-planning books ever, David Chilton simplifies the complex puzzles of personal finance and helps you achieve financial independence. With the help of his fictional barber, Roy, and a large dose of humor, Chilton shows you how to take control of your financial future--slowly, steadily, and with sure success. Chilton's plan (detailed in an entertaining story) is no get-rich-quick scheme, but it does make financial independence possible on nothing more than an average salary.
This third edition has been updated with assistance from the Arthur Andersen Corporation, and covers the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and other recent developments.
Even if you consider yourself a financial "basket case," Chilton explains how you can easily put an effective financial plan into action.

The Millionaire Next Door

How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defined as people whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors Stanley and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing members of this elite club: you just have to follow seven simple rules. The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is smiling.
 
I think a big part of why people fail is because they are programmed to from childhood up to adulthood, living with parents and surrounding yourself with people who tell you you won't achieve much is a big thing, it goes Into the conscious mind and finally becomes sub-conscious and we start to believe we can't amount to anything.

We should all take time to Re-Program ourselves and do what made us fail, which is repetition all words of an average life, we should take the time to Repeat to ourselves everyday that we can amount to more, until these thoughts become sub conscious and we start to believe and achieve...
