In the field of mindset and self development, there is great power in numbers. When you have someone else to team up with for your goals, you’re not only going to have somebody to turn to when your own motivation is flagging, but you will also have someone to keep up with and someone to inspire when they begin to falter.

Team up for motivational success

Choosing a partner to share your goals to success is a bit of a tricky process. You need to pick someone with a similar goal to yourself as this will help the both of you help each other in similar ways. For example, you don’t want to partner up with someone who wants to lose ten pounds if you’re trying to lose fifty. When they reach their goal, they might not want to keep going until you reach yours. On the other hand, if you have a friend that wants to lose 20 pounds and you need to lose 30, this might be a more reasonable match up. The weightloss analogy applies to any other scenario. Your motivation may be towards money, lifestyle, travel, charity, self improvement, etc…

Are you committed?

You also need to find someone who’s committed to helping you – and you need to be committed to helping them. You can’t simply enable each other to slack on your individual goals. It can help if you draw up a sort of contract for your partnership to help you both see what’s expected of the other as you move along in your relationship. Sign it and date it and then both people can keep copies, referencing them when the other person doesn’t do everything they agreed to do.

Holding you responsible

A partner is someone that you should be meeting with several times a week – either in person or on email or phone. The constant communication will hold you responsible on the progress you are making, while also giving yourself an extra boost of energy when you might be having troubles with something you are doing. Regular communication is the key, but only if it’s positive and not just complaining about what you are doing.

Some grumbling is to be expected, but if the other is grumbling, you should be helping them move into a more positive mindset.

Have a most outstanding day

Kurek Ashley and The Life Success Club

One of my mentors, Kurek Ashley, has been instrumental in my personal improvement journey over the last 14 months. Through his Life Success Club, Kurek has taught me many little life-tricks to turbo charge my ability to feel happy and build a healthy mindset. There are little things that make a big difference. He taught me gratitude; How to be grateful first thing in the morning when I wake up, how to be grateful last thing before I go to sleep. Kurek made me aware of the feeling of success, which is gratitude.

Life Success Club

I realized that people like Kurek Ashley have traveled a tough road in life and things weren’t always that easy for them. As a matter of fact, Kurek has had his fair share of bumps in life. Hearing his story makes many other life stories sound tame. Every time I encounter a hurdle in life, I think of someone, like Kurek Ashley, that has been in a much worse situation than me. Then gratitude sets in. Gratitude for how fortunate I am to have problems that would make others peoples problems look like a holiday.

Gratitude, Mindset and Lifestyle

Learning these skills, such as gratitude and a healthy mindset, allows for another asset we all strive for: Lifestyle. After all, every ounce of gold in the world would be worthless if we couldn’t enjoy the lifestyle we dream of. A good lifestyle requires happiness. Happiness comes from living a life without stress and worry. This means lots of gratitude, generosity and anything else that makes you feel good. I make monthly donations to 3 charities and that makes me feel great. That’s one thing I learned from my mentors, one of them I’ve mentioned before: Kurek Ashley.

Here’s to Gratitude, Mindset and Lifestyle
