Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Today, we're diving into a topic that gets into the core of personal and professional success. The two things that controlled my life for a very long time. You got to understand and master these two elements that can fundamentally change your life. So let's get right into it. The first thing that controls your life is your mindset. Your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes shapes every decision you make and every action you take.

It's the internal lenses through which you view the world and your place in it. A positive, growth-oriented mindset can propel you towards success, while a negative, fixed mindset can hold you back. I've seen it thousands of times through my friends, my family, and even mentees. Let's break this down. Your mindset affects how you handle challenges, setbacks, and opportunities. If you believe that your abilities and intelligence can be developed with effort and learning, you're more likely to embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see an effort as path to mastery. This is known as the growth mindset. You probably

heard this from a ton of other gurus or consultants out there, guys, because it's the truth. On the other hand, a fixed mindset, believing your abilities are static and unchangeable can lead to avoiding challenges, giving up easily and feeling threatened by the success of others. So to give you a great example about this, you ever gone to your parents and your parents say, Paul, I've always been like this. I will not change. Well, here's the thing, guys, you got to be able to change to adapt because what you don't know because what you don't know is what you don't know. And in this world, especially in 2024, there is a lot of learning to be done that can actually boost and grow you to success. So how do you cultivate a growth mindset?

You got to start by becoming aware of your thoughts and beliefs. Whenever you encounter a challenge, listen to the internal dialogue. Are you telling yourself you can't do it? Or are you seeing it as an opportunity to learn and grow? Replace negativity. Limiting your thoughts with positive, empowering ones. Surround yourself with people who inspire and support your growth. Read, learn, and consistently push yourself out of the comfort zone. The second thing that I had to do in my life was to control my environment.

This includes the people I was spending time with, the spaces that you occupy, and the information that I was consuming and that you consume. Your environment can support your goals and your ambitions or hinder them. It can inspire you to be your best self or drag you down into being mediocre. Consider the people you surround yourself with. Are they encouraging and supporting you? Do they challenge you to be better or are they negative and draining, holding you back with their doubts and fears? You have to remember this famous saying,

you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If you want to elevate your life, surround yourself with people who reflect the values and success you aspire to. Your physical environment also plays a crucial role. Is your workspace organized and inspiring or is it cluttered and distracting?

You have to create spaces that energize you and support your productivity. And don't underestimate the power of digital and mental environments. What you watch, read, and listen to. Curate your media consumption to include content that uplifts and educates you. Look, so I had to learn to master my mindset and also shape my environment. You have to take control of your life. You only have one life to live.

These two elements allowed me to level up in my life in just a few years. They formed the foundation upon which I was able to build my success. So as I wrap this up, remember that you have the power to change both your mindset and your environment. No one can ever take that away from you.

It takes awareness, effort, and sometimes tough decisions, but the rewards are immeasurable. You can design a life that not only meets but exceeds your dreams. So I'm encouraging you, yes, you listening right now, to take control of your mind and your environment. These are the keys to unlock your full potential and living the life you desire. So, stay focused, stay inspired, and anyone you care about. The world's already hard enough and we need to take care of each other.
