It’s the losers who are crippled by the scarcity mindset.
“Winners want to see others win.
It’s the losers who want to see people lose.
We live in a world of abidance & another’s success isn’t going to take away from the ability to create your own.
Thinking that it will is the driver of the scarcity mindset.
Support others.”

You ever notice that?
I mean think about it.
How many people doing better than you are hating on you and wanting to see you fail?
None, right?
Those people are usually the most positive and encouraging.
It’s the losers, who are jealous of your success that are degrading.
Want to be a winner?
Easy.
Start by supporting others.
Just as negativity is contagious, so is positivity.
And hell I’ve lived long enough to see first-hand that positivity is even more contagious.
What does talking shit on that guy down the road do for you?
Anything constructive?
I didn’t think so.
Why not be supportive?
Why not try to learn from him?
Why not try to find out what he does well and how you can apply some of the principles that helped him to your own life?
Because guess what? There is plenty to go around.
This has been the single greatest mindset shift in all of my life.
In my early years in business when I was guided by my ego, I wasn’t talking shit on you, but I was outworking you.
You weren’t up at 4am?
You weren’t missing thanksgiving with your family?
You weren’t working Christmas Day?
I was.
Not because I needed to, but you weren’t taking what was rightfully mine.
What the hell?
What a miserable, limiting, silly way to live.
The point is not to demonize hard work or that you shouldn’t compete in the marketplace/life, I work hard and compete everyday (still on thanksgiving and Christmas, too, just not as early) but to recognize the world of abundance in which we live.
I was talking to a close friend of mine years ago, a crossfit gym owner in my town, a “fitness business competitor”.
And he and I were laughing as if trying to outdo each other would do any of us any good.
We live in a county of close to 1 Million people alone and 70% of people are overweight.
Neither he nor I’s businesses, if combined, could serve ½ of 1 percent of our own counties population and we’re going to act like we can’t work together to build each other up and our own community?
Support others.
(Consistent) winning will find you.
