Episode 073: How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156108249047687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #073 — Reaction vs Response When I lose, my default reaction used to be anger, sadness, externalizing the blame, and sometimes even lashing out. So when I first saw this quote from Gilbert Keith Chesterton, I noticed how quickly I started defending those base, self-focused, ego-based reactions. I…

Episode 072: It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156087094457687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #072 — Nothing to prove! Having been a cyclist since 2005, something shifted after I turned 50. And, NO, I don't mean physically (though that may be true, too). I mean emotionally and energetically. Before 50, being one of the first ones up the hill was important. Once…

Episode 071: No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156071237867687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #071 — "Think longer" may be the new "Think different" Nothing is impossible, it's merely a matter of investing enough of three currencies: time, energy, and thought.

Episode 070: It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156056634457687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #070 — Keep going! Giving up on something is often the quick and easy way out. But that "quick" can have lasting impact. The second-guessing, the self-criticism, and the self-flogging lingers long after the quitting is done. All too often it's merely the persistence that makes the difference…

Episode 069: Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed no hope at all.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156050670197687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #069 — "Hope is not a strategy!" My Vistage Chair, Larry Hart, said that so many times it became part of the lore of our group, almost a cliché. Despite that, the message landed ... As a leader, hope isn't even part of the equation. Clear values, a…

Episode 068: Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risk.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156029591407687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #068 — Security does not a life make. Maslow taught us that it is only when our need for security is met that we can even contemplate having our psychological needs like love and belongingness met. "Security" is a funny thing. It's situational, contextual, fleeting ... even an…

Episode 067: Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156012253467687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #067 — Sympathy is a force multiplier. Way back in Episode #005, we played with Teddy Roosevelt's idea that "Comparison if the thief of joy." So when I read this quote by Oscar Wilde, I first thought that this week's conversation would snap back to dire warnings against…

Episode 066: Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10155995736602687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #066 — Want to succeed more? Then fail more! The next time you hear an entrepreneur, an executive, or the leader of any organization profess their belief in innovation, ask them how they reward failure. Chances are, they don't. And when failure is not rewarded, innovation is NOT…
