Episode 46: The Success Habit of Persistence – Mastering Your Thoughts & Eliminating Excuses Episode Summary: Success starts in the mind. If you cannot control your thoughts, you cannot control your results. In this episode, we explore how fear, excuses, and unconscious thinking patterns hold us back from persistence. We also introduce Napoleon Hill’s 55 famous alibis—common excuses that keep people from achieving success. Key Takeaways from This Episode: ✔ You have absolute control over only one thing—your thoughts. Mastering your mindset is the key to persistence. ✔ Fear will exist whether you take action or not. The difference is that inaction brings regret. ✔ Excuses are the enemy of persistence. They create self-imposed barriers to success. ✔ Reprogramming your thoughts requires self-discipline and consistency. New habits take time to form. ✔ All judgment is self-judgment. The things we criticize in others often reflect internal doubts and insecurities. Quote from the Episode: "Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in." — Bill Bradley Your Next Steps: ✅ Identify your hidden excuses. Ask yourself, “Is this really true?” when doubts arise. ✅ Challenge limiting beliefs. Stop saying “I always” or “I never” without proof. ✅ Practice self-discipline. Controlling your thoughts takes time but leads to lasting success. ✅ Take action despite fear. Fear is a constant, but action builds confidence and momentum. ✅ Reflect daily. Evaluate your progress, reframe negative thoughts, and adjust your mindset. 📌 Want more insights on persistence and success habits? 👉 Connect with Londina Cruz at Londina.com for resilience coaching and daily motivation. 👉 Work with Donna Kunde at DonnaKunde.com to shift your mindset and grow your business with confidence. 👉 📥 Download this season’s resources to deepen your understanding of persistence and eliminate excuses from your success journey. ⭐ Loved this episode?
