Hi friends, my name is Dr. Sindra Kampoff, a national leader in the field of sport and performance psychology. Every week I'm on the local radio sharing my top tips on exactly how to develop the mindset of the world's best, so you can accomplish all your dreams. Get ready for a jammed, packed episode focused on practical tips to help you get after your goals and step out of your comfort zone. Let's go. Joined by Cinder Kampoff here in the studio this time. It's so good to see you and have you here

in front of me. I know it has been since the pandemic that I've been face to face with you and I'm so excited. Oh, thanks for coming in. We have a lot to talk about. But the best thing is we're talking about a new book today. And our topic is Go Beyond Grit in Your Business. Start us off with a quote. I love this quote by Angela Duckworth. She said, Grit depends on a different kind of hope. It rests on the expectation that our own efforts can improve our future. So you've got the new book out. Tell us all about it. Well, it's organized around 10 practices that represent the psychological practices of the

best leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and salespeople. And it's really about helping you step into your potential, experience consistent high performance, and really develop the business of your dreams. And it's really going beyond grit that leads to us mastering our mindset and reaching our potential. And the idea of the book is really about

how we have to practice these 10 practices every day. They're not things we're born with. Why did you write this book? Well, I wrote this book because mindset is contagious. And when we adopt a mindset of a high performer, others will too. So as a leader, you lead yourself, but you also lead others towards a common goal or purpose. And most people kind of move just to step two. They think about leading others, but you can't be effective leading others until you lead yourself. So, you know, any problem

in your business actually starts with the psychology of the person leading the business. So as a leader, it's important for us to act and think like a high performer because people are watching us and observing us and we have to lead solving the problems. What's the outcome for this book once people read it? Well, one of the objectives of the book is to really help people step into their potential. And the way I define high performance, it's really a purposeful daily pursuit of excellence and a quest to reach your potential. And so the thing is that potential is really unlimited and endless.

And so then in the book, I talk about and ask this question, what gets in the way of your unlimited potential? And sometimes it's a clear direction or not a clear direction or not taking enough action or limiting beliefs, you know, things that like you can't make a change. You're not good enough. You're not smart enough. And so the book is really about stepping into your potential and realizing what your life would look like at the next level.

So you also talk a little bit about your journey to becoming an entrepreneur. Can you talk a little bit about that? Yes. My parents were entrepreneurs growing up. They owned a restaurant in our town and now own a business in Omaha. So I feel like I've had this innate drive to build something myself. But what's interesting, when I got the idea of starting my own business, I kept on getting in my own way,

kind of thinking I lacked the knowledge or the skills or maybe the courage. And so finally, when I started my own company, Mentally Strong Consulting, you know, I've realized even as an entrepreneur, I get stuck. You know, and when I get stuck, I don't move things forward. If I don't have clarity of my business and the coaches who work for me suffer. And so I have now seven coaches who work for Mentally Strong where we coach and lead. We provide coaching and leadership training for athletes and leaders. But the thing is, I realize it's,

if I don't have my mind clear, it doesn't move forward. And that's really what this book is about. What is the impact of the 10 practices that are in the book? Well, since the original Beyond Grit book came out, I heard from people all over the world about actually how it helped them develop their business. And it wasn't something that I expected. For example, Leo wrote me once and said, he's a financial planner. And he said, the book really helped him take his business to the next level. And it made all the difference. It led me to having my best years in revenue.

And he has more deliberate focus on his time and clearly sees where he's going. And that's really what I think this book can do more specifically for entrepreneurs, salespeople, business leaders, is help you get a really clear direction and develop the mindset to be able to do that. So I'm interested to know our power phrase this week when we're talking about the new book. I take action today to master my mindset, to master my life and career.
