How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a mindset shift when you're making decisions. Think about what someone successful, like me, would decide. This way of thinking guides your choices toward success. Every time you're faced with a decision, pause and ask, "What would Alex do?"
A good way of doing this is by choosing a reference group. These are people who live the life you aspire to. You might not know them personally, but that's okay. Look at their journey and ask yourself what they would have done when they were at your age or stage in life. This helps you build a roadmap based on proven success.
You don’t need to take advice from everyone around you. Family and friends mean well, but their advice might not align with your goals. Focus on the voices and insights from people who have already achieved the success you want. Study their stories, read their books, watch their videos—immerse yourself in their mindset.
Lastly, these strategies are low-cost, requiring more mental effort than money. This makes them accessible and actionable for anyone aiming for personal growth or business success. By aligning your decisions with those who've succeeded, you're setting a clear path toward your goals.
