Episode 1244 – Stop Making Excuses & Start Winning: The Mindset Shift You Need
The Power of Mindset
Mike Campion and coach Tracey Thompson dive into one of the biggest roadblocks for business owners—our own mindset. Many people know what they need to do to grow their business, but they struggle to take action. Tracey explains that this happens because we let old habits and beliefs hold us back. The key to success isn’t just knowing what to do, but changing how we think about ourselves and our abilities.
Stop Making Excuses
One of the biggest traps business owners fall into is making excuses. “I don’t have the skills.” “I tried that before, and it didn’t work.” “My situation is different.” These thoughts keep people stuck in the same place. Mike and Tracey emphasize that real growth starts when we stop blaming outside factors and take full responsibility for our success.
Ask Better Questions
Instead of asking, “Why am I failing?” or “Why can’t I figure this out?” start asking, “What can I do today to move forward?” Tracey calls this the “millionaire mindset shift.” Successful people don’t let problems stop them—they focus on finding solutions. If you want different results, you have to take different actions.
Who Do You Need to Be?
Tracey challenges listeners to think about their future successful selves. If you already had the business you wanted, what kind of person would you be? How would you think and act differently? Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, shift your focus to becoming the kind of person who finds solutions and takes action.
Take the First Step
Mike and Tracey wrap up the conversation with a simple challenge: Take action today. Even a small step in the right direction can build momentum. If you catch yourself making excuses, pause and ask, “How can I be more resourceful?” Success isn’t about luck—it’s about mindset and action. Start thinking like your future successful self, and the results will follow.
