Why a Weak Mindset Will Create Weak Results
20:43 Share

Be very, very cautious of the person where there's things always going wrong in their life because I guarantee they are the catalyst. They are the reason. If you're constantly negative with this weak mindset, things are going to go wrong. More things are going to go wrong. Those things are going to cause ripple effects to cause the next thing to go wrong, right? Your finances are a mess.

And now you don't pay your speeding ticket because you don't have money. Now you lost your driving license. Next thing you lost your job. That is all your fault because you don't have money in the first place. The victim, the weak mindset will say, "All these things went wrong in my life." The strong mindset or someone like me will say, "No, those things aren't wrong because of you." You can control the outcome here. You can control all of these things and why you must work

to build a strong mindset, to not only be happier, positive, but also to be a better leader, to be a better CEO, and of course, out of all, to be a better entrepreneur.

Go do that right now. Take you 10 seconds and you will get access to all those trainings. But let's dive in while you're doing that. We are talking about strong versus weak mindset and why a weak mindset leads to weak results. Guys, I'm excited for today's episode. Here we go.

common denominator that I see that's getting worse over time is a weak mindset. If you go back 10, 20 years, I think people's mindset and work ethic was a lot stronger and people's mental resilience was a lot stronger. Now I feel we live in a society where people are more and more and more privileged and

and they have a weaker mindset. And I'm going to tell you today how to strengthen your mindset for better results. Because if you want to be an entrepreneur, mental resilience is one thing that's going to separate you between everyone else. It's going to help you keep going. It's going to help you push through and stay healthier and happier because a stronger mental resilience will actually lead to overall happiness, better hormone

regulation, better endorphin release, and of course, better mental health, right? But why do so many people have a weak mindset? Well, I think we, like I said, over time, people have become more and more privileged. People have become more and more expecting things to happen for them. Whereas if you go back 10, 20, 30 years, people knew that they needed to grind, right? And, you know, I moved to America as an immigrant and

And you kind of come here believing in the American dream, right? And I do believe that still exists. I still think America is a great country and a land of opportunity. And then I see so many people throw it away. And it's sad. It's painful to see. And it's also hard to see when someone has great ability. And guess what? As an entrepreneur, I used to think it would get easier. No, it actually gets way harder. The more successful you become, the more you get people attacking you, the more people see an opportunity to exploit you.

Like in the last two years, I've been stolen from having at least three times within my business. And over the last five or six years, I've had $200,000 plus partnerships where they basically breach contract and steal from me. One of them was like a million dollar launch and all the money went in their bank account. Never doing that again, the hard way and trusted them.

Um, so yeah, so it's like, it doesn't get easier. It gets harder. And this is why you can't have a weak mindset if you want to be successful because a weak mindset would have made me say, screw this, I'm done. Right. Or when, um, an employee stole from me or, you know, when a group of employees started a rival company, um, all of those things, or when an employee stole clients, I've had that happen. I mean, at least three times, um,

so far at like a serious level, plus the ones I don't know about, right? So it's like the weak mindset won't protect you against that, okay? And also when it comes to if you're just out there starting your business or working in a business and employee now, one of the biggest things a CEO like myself looks for is a strong, resilient mindset. If you're coming to the C-suite, the exec team, the leadership team,

Or even if they see you around the office, which I see with some of our employees that don't last very long, where you're always complaining, you have a weak mindset, you're always miserable, you always look at negative things, you get told off and you go into a negative state versus taking ownership and being responsible for why you got told off and why you got a disciplinary or why you failed, you're going to not last in business. You're not going to be promoted as an employee.

Your coworkers aren't gonna like you. They might gossip and bitch and complain at the same time with you 'cause most people are sheeps in life and they mirror other people. But eventually they'll realize too that you're always complaining. I see this. I literally see groups of employees

one person will always be negative and during like the time, right, where it's happening, a couple more employees might be joining in and gossiping but then, you know, two hours later they'll come to me and say, hey, you gotta watch this person, you know, they're super negative, right? So, um, and

And even in life, like in friendship groups, like people will look at the complainer, right? And you won't make a lot of friends doing so. And it also damages your brain, right? If you're trying to be healthy, happy, positive, having this weak mindset and this complaining like mindset and this negative mindset, this is wrong, this is wrong. Oh my God, I can't believe this.

"Oh, the postman didn't deliver my letter." "Oh, I went to ship something back as a return. It charged me $20." Like all of those things is going to stop you from focusing on what matters in life, focusing on your businesses, your finances, your relationships, okay?

So as a employee, it's very important to really work on that resilient mindset. And as an entrepreneur, hopefully you're starting to see like, hey, this is not going to get easier. This is going to get harder. The only thing that will allow me to keep going as it gets harder, like it has for me, is a stronger mindset and probably more experience and connections.

And, you know, we have things happen in our business. We had a big thing a couple of weeks ago. And even my C-suite that have been in business, some of them over 20 years, they were like horrified by this and super shocked by it.

And they go, Rudy, how are you okay right now? Even my wife was like, how are you okay right now? And I'm like, I'm like a crocodile or an alligator where I've grown so much thick skin at this point. You know, it's like an inch thick. It's just like the slashes don't penetrate anymore after so many years. And that's the point, I mean, you have to get to, to be successful. And some, you know, I always remind people of this quote. It's like, if you get, you know, some sort of a lawsuit or something, right, or a complaint letter or a problem,

Then, obviously, you want to address why it happened if you're doing something wrong. But outside of that, it's like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, all of these people, they're probably getting served lawsuits every day before breakfast. And, like, so you get one a year and it's, like, 20 grand to settle it. It's, like, it's nothing, right? It's literally nothing.

But when the first time you get it, it's like the end of the world. But you just it's framing your mindset. You know, you spend 20 grand on an agency or on ads and they don't work out. You move on with your life. Right. It happens. But you get 20 grand, you know, a lawsuit and it's going to cost 20 grand to settle it. It's like you freak out for six months. It makes no sense. That's because your mindset. Right. It's because of how you process problems, how you handle problems.

how you receive information and then process that information because every time there's something happens in your life you can control the outcome right you can control how you process that information then the emotional and hormonal response to that issue okay

So building a strong mindset is one of the best things you can do. It's like this mental fortitude in your brain that no one can take away from you. I can lose all my businesses. I can have employees steal. Employees take clients, start rival businesses, partnerships steal hundreds of thousands, all of which will happen to you when you get to my level, probably grow over 100 employees and businesses pass eight figures on your way to nine figures. All of these things are going to happen over time.

The thing that will keep you going is that mental fortitude. And there are some people I know that keep going even when they don't have a strong mindset, but it eats them up. They have, like, you can see these entrepreneurs from a mile away. They have constant anxiety. They're constantly stressed, right? And I wouldn't say I'm that stressed. Like, I, within a day occasionally, like, have a bad day and get, you know, a little like, oh, that was a sucky day, stressful day. But,

I don't really get that stress, even when there's big problems. I just laugh them off and get on with it now, and I kind of accept it as part of business. This stuff's so important for your own happiness, for your relationships, with your family, you've got kids, a spouse. If you don't process this stuff correctly and have a strong mindset, if you have a weak mindset, it's going to eat you alive, and it's also going to ruin your relationship. It's going to ruin your family life. I don't lose sleep over business.

rarely ever, but I used to seven, eight, nine, ten years ago for sure. Now I don't lose sleep over, even though my problems are a hundred times worse now, I don't lose any sleep over them or very rarely, maybe a couple of times a year. I remember the last time I lost a significant amount of sleep over something was probably two and a half years ago with a big problem. But yeah, I don't, since then I've, you know, constantly working on it.

Now, as you handle employees and handle people, one thing that you have to also understand that I've had to learn over time as a CEO is you will have employees, vendors, contractors with a weak mindset. And what you have to learn to do is to not be roped into that

a hostile and negative environment. And this is very hard to do. That was one of the downsides of an office, let me tell you. Because on Zoom, I ran virtual teams for seven, eight years. And then three years ago, I went to in-office and virtual. And there's a lot of pros of in-office, right? Like a great studio like this, if you're watching on video, having celebrities come in, friends come in, visit, hosting meetings here, hosting events here, being able to walk over to someone and say, show me the video instead of them having to

render it, process it, upload it, send it to you, then you know, you're going to get on a Zoom or shoot a Loom to give them edits, right? A lot of benefits. But one of the biggest problems is

being roped into that negative energy. And we actually here as a company, if someone comes in with a bad attitude or negative energy, we actually pull them to the side same day the head of people does. And head of people and HR in my office pulls them to the side and basically has a conversation and understands what's wrong and sends them home unless they can work themselves out of it, right? And obviously, if it's like a, you know, we've had

employees with all types of family issues. So we're obviously respectful and supportive when that happens. But if it's just they're in a bad, you know, so they brought something into work that they shouldn't have, they got a parking ticket or they got told off yesterday, they got a written warning because they posted the wrong thing on social media or didn't do their end of day report or messed up a project. Then we tell them, hey, this isn't, you know, in line with our core values. You are not taking ownership of this problem. Now you're upset because you got in trouble for not doing your job.

and you know now you're making it actually worse on yourself and impacting the rest of the office so having you know having that separation but also maintaining that cultural environment and positivity in your business and not letting this weak negative mindset come into your company is so so important because most of us whether we know it or not we're mirrors right and sponges so you know I say that

Most of us mirror other people. That's why I can have a great employee be pulled into a negative state. And I see this when there's the negative person's bitching because people like to mirror. And we're sponges, so we absorb energy. So...

If someone's negative, it's just like if someone's sick, everyone gets sick, right? If someone's negative and comes in, more people are negative and it ruins the environment. So having that brand standard and those standards within your company are so important as a CEO and leader. And then the next step is within your life too, right? So I remove myself from family events and environments and meetings and events or networking things.

if it's a bunch of people that have this weak mindset, if all they do is show up and they complain and they tell you how hard everything is and it's all complaint, negative complaint, problem, problem, issue that happened to them, victim mentality, quickly remove myself. Because again, even if you have this strong fortitude, you are in some ways a sponge, right? It's like if you're

in healthy fresh air and there's a toxic poison leak that's going to spread into the air and you're going to, even if you hold your nose, you're still going to absorb some of it. Or another way to look at this is if you're a bodybuilder super healthy, if you live with three roommates and they're all eating donuts and pizza every night, 100% at some point you're going to go, I'll have a slice of pizza. Okay, I'll try one of the donuts. Even if you've got resilience. And even if you've got resilience, why make it harder for yourself?

So do what you can to separate yourself from people with this weak negative mindset. Now, if this is someone you know or care about or someone that's just going through a bad time, I'm not obviously saying cut them off and you can coach and support them. But understand that over time, some people won't change. The leopard won't change his spots. And there are a lot of people like this. And these people aren't successful. They're not people you want to spend your time with.

And you have to create that separation so it doesn't leak to you. And then the flip side of that is building a surrounding with people with a strong mindset, right? People that, you know, I remember this story. I won't say who it is, but a couple of friends that own a company that's done over nine figures, over 100 million revenue. And they were telling me the first time they got an FTC letter that,

They rang one of their mentors and one of their mentors was a billionaire, founder of like FedEx or a big shipping company like that. And they freaked out. They're like, I got this letter from the FTC. What do we do? And they told me this story. And his response, the billionaire was like, oh, that's a bunch of BS. Here's what you do. You crumple it up and then you throw it in your trash can and play basketball with it. He says, I used to get those letters every day before breakfast. So

And again, that's not legal advice. I'm not saying you should do that. You should probably speak to an attorney. But again, this is an example.

of how experience and having mentorship too and having the right surroundings and people will support you because you know did they probably do that no i'm sure they didn't they probably went to their attorney but that probably put their mind at ease far more than if they had gone to someone a peer a fellow co-worker someone on their c-suite their wife that said oh my god

you know, we're screwed, the business is gonna shut down, and then the wife or husband starts Googling it and it's like, wow, you can go to prison for up to 10 years if you breach an FTC law, whatever, right? So you see how those two situations just by being with the right person can drastically change.

One side, people with a weaker mindset would start telling you all the, oh, you could go to prison, they can seize your assets, they could seize the house, baby, you know, the wife saying that, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the experienced person that's actually been through it and has a strong mindset is telling you not to worry. Oh, it's probably just a warning letter, speak to your attorney. I used to get those all the time and I'd screw them up and play basketball with them, right? So two different outcomes.

and two different ways to process it. And while that second way, again, I'm not saying that's correct, you'd probably go to an attorney, probably during that process of going to the attorney doesn't ruin your life for the next four weeks, right? Where you lose sleep, you don't focus on revenue, you don't focus on business, you don't focus on new initiatives. 'Cause guess what? If that letter was sent to 5,000 companies and means nothing,

then you just spent four weeks of misery and probably lost a million dollars in revenue. If you're doing, you know, 50 mil a year, you take a month not focused on your business. You probably cost the business at least a million in revenue over a stupid letter that was mass produced and sent to thousands of people. Right. So those two different options, two different alternatives. And that is the difference between a strong and weak mindset.

and why you shouldn't have a weak mindset, why it can ruin your life and it can start to ruin your business, okay? And why you have to do everything to build this strong, resilient mindset. And I promise you, if you start looking, you'll see correlations, weak mindset, everything happens to them, okay? So here's what happens. The car breaks down, flat tire.

Forget to pay a parking ticket lose their driving license right or speeding ticket. We lose their driving license friend cheats on you know friend betrays them right partner cheats on them and

All of these things start happening. They crash their car, right? All of these things start happening. The strong person, these things don't happen, right? They just don't happen. And I've learned in life, I tell my C-suite, there's some employees and people, be very, very cautious of the person where there's things always going wrong in their life because I guarantee they are the catalyst. They are the reason, right?

Okay, now of course we all get bad luck and I'm not saying we don't all get bad luck and some people probably get more bad luck than others. If you take a hundred people, I admit that everyone will have varied levels of luck, but eventually you also are in part creating your own luck because

If you're constantly negative with this weak mindset, things are going to go wrong. More things are going to go wrong. Those things are going to cause ripple effects to cause the next thing to go wrong, right? Your finances are a mess and now you don't pay your speeding ticket because you don't have money. Now you lost your driving license. Next thing, you lost your job. That is all your fault because you don't have money in the first place. You spent it going out or you got fired from your job because you didn't work hard enough. Now you don't have money. Now you can't, you know, pay your speeding ticket. Now you lose your car. Now you can't get another job.

okay the victim the weak mindset will say all these things went wrong in my life the strong mindset or someone like me will say no those things aren't wrong because of you because you did one thing wrong that led to another thing wrong then you didn't fix it then you let it get worse then you lost your job now you can't get a new joke you don't have a car and you live in the middle of nowhere that is because of you so understanding that difference and how you can control the outcome here you can control all of these things and why you must work the

to build a strong mindset, to not only be happier, positive, right? More healthy from an actual cognitive mental state, but also to be a better leader, to be a better CEO. And of course, out of all, to be a better entrepreneur because entrepreneurship is not easy. It's going to get worse. It's going to get harder. More things are going to hit you, but you can get ahead of those things by working on yourself, right? Working

to build that resilient, strong mindset and separating yourself from people with a weak mindset that are negative that pull you down. So that's a wrap for today. Hope you enjoyed today's episode. DM me on Instagram. Let me know what you're doing to build that strong resilience mindset.
