9 Lessons From 'The Magic Of Thinking BIG' by David J. Schwartz

THREAD 🧵

1. Believing that you WILL succeed is one of the most essential traits of successful people

Think success, not failure.

Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are.

Believe Big.

The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.
2. Stop Making Excuses

I’m too young/old
I’m not well enough
I’m not smart enough
I’m not lucky enough

Eliminate the habit of making excuses; instead see reasons why you can succeed.

The right attitude and one arm will beat the wrong attitude and two arms every time.
3. Build Confidence & Destroy Fear

Indecision feeds fear.

Action cures fear.

Focus your mind on only positive thoughts and use daily affirmations to help build belief in yourself.
4. Think & Dream Creatively

Big people monopolise listening.

Small people monopolise talking.

There is a reason why the top leaders of our world spend more time requesting advice than they do giving it.
5. You Are What You Think You Are

As a leader, the way you think towards your job determines how those around you think towards their job.

Look important.

Sound important.

Think your work is important.

Use the technique of “selling-yourself-to yourself”.
6. Manage Your Environment

The company you surround yourself with will have an impact on your success.

It is up to you to surround yourself with people who uplift you and whose presence brings out the very best in you.
7. Make Your Attitudes Your Allies

Attitudes are mirrors of the mind, they reflect thinking.

When our attitude is right, our abilities reach a maximum of effectiveness and good results inevitably follow.
8. Teamwork

Your success depends on the support of other people.

The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support from others.

A person is not pulled up to a higher level job, they are lifted up.
9. Turn Defeat Into Victory

Study your setbacks to pave your way to success.

Have the courage to be your own constructive critic, don't start blaming your failures on things like luck.

You Either Win or Learn,

Never Lose.
