Attitude is the starting point to consider when looking at solution focused thinking.

Did you know that we talk to ourselves in our heads every 11 seconds (self-talk) and what we say will greatly impact on what we are trying to achieve at the time.

Example: the ‘4 minute’ mile

Breaking the four-minute mile barrier was first achieved on 6 May 1954, by Roger Bannister, with the help of fellow-runners as pacemakers. 

The common belief prior to this was that it was not possible to run this fast, in fact on a BBC documentary a Harley street specialist stated “It is a physical impossibility to run under 4 minutes as the human body will explode”

What was Roger Bannister saying to himself on this day?

“I can do it”

What happened after he achieved the 4 minute mile? 

Two months later, two competing runners, Australia's John Landy and Bannister, ran the distance of one mile in under four minutes.  John Landy had previously run faster that Roger Bannister.  What had changed?  His attitude, he knew he could run faster than Bannister.

What does this demonstrate?

Your destiny is in your own hands whether you want to build your business or achieve the personal or business goals you set yourself. 

If your self-talk is negative and you are saying things such as “I can’t do that” or “I’m no good at those type of things” then the likelihood is that you won’t achieve what you want to.

“If you think you can you can, if you think you can’t you can’t”

Make success a matter of choice not a matter of chance.
