The document discusses developing a winning mindset. It involves having an accurate and positive self-image, having a strong sense of purpose that drives positive action, and maintaining passion through continuous self-challenge. Positive thinking is also important, though it needs to be cultivated by focusing on positive elements in one's life and encouraging positivity in others. Developing a winning mindset is a continuous process that combines these elements of self-awareness, purpose, passion, and perspective to create the drive for success.

1. the “winning
mindset”

2. It’s a combination of:
• having emotional intelligence
being self aware
• seeking growth, where learning
and growing is a life style
• taking ownership and
responsibility
…Things that are defined by how we
think, and then the actions that follow.

3. So how is a
winning mindset
developed?

4. Firstly, look at
Accurate self image
• Research suggests that despite
changes to the results we get or the
things we achieve, very often our
own internal image of ourselves
doesn’t change.
• Having a realistic and positive self
image, defined not by what others
have said we can and can’t do, is
actually vital in realising our true
potential.

5. We’ve all have heard the famous Henry Ford
quote…
“Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re
right”
In other words, to develop a winning mindset, we need
to start by being self aware and confident.
It’s a big concept, but it’s the basis on which everything
else will stand.

6. Having a purpose – this is a
big thing!
Secondly,
• Think: If we don’t have a purpose in
what we’re doing, how is our
motivation likely to be?
• Purpose gives direction to everything
we do, it gives our ambitions a purpose,
it gives our careers a purpose…
• As aspirational people, having that
purpose ourselves, reflects out to
others as well.

7. A purpose ensures that the positivity we
can feel from a winning mindset doesn’t get
wasted on positive thought, but becomes
positive action.

8. • We’re often subjected to a whole
range of negative external influences
such as social media, what others are
saying and also the world in general
etc.
• All of these things are there, we need
to filter and find whats right for us
• This isn’t just about saying the right
things, but by making positive things
happen.
• The power of seeing positive results
from positive thinking can have a
significant impact on you…and it is
contagious.
Positive thinking

9. However, positive thinking is not always a
natural skill – sometimes it needs to be
worked on.
Invest time in thinking about the positive
elements of you, your immediate family and
encouraging people to talk positively around
you.

10. Next is
Having passion
• It might be cliché, but it’s quite for
people to have some passion and
then get it knocked out of them.
• The key is to keep refreshing and
challenging yourself. It’s a continuous
cycle!

11. By being passionate about our studies
and work, we create a winning mindset.
We go to school or work every day truly gripped
by our drive and what we’re trying to do…
and when we combine this with positive thinking
and having a purpose, all of a sudden we are
creating the drive for us to succeed.

12. In summary, a winning mindset is not
made up of one thing, but rather
consistently working and focussing on the
elements that create a winning mindset.
