Ant Middleton - Who Dares Wins

what we'll be talking about today is mindset whether that's mental resilience whether that's fear whether that's leadership the forefront of my armory is a positive mindset this belongs to you it's the most powerful tool out there I generally believe you can cut my arms and legs off you can do whatever you want to me but you cannot take away how I think you cannot take away my mind people say how do you have a positive mindset you know how are you not in constant battle with yourself all the time because that's what we do in constant you know competition with ourselves if you're strong enough to not let a situation to find you look good on you if you're courageous enough not to let a person define you then bull that leaves one thing right you define yourself if you could right you set your own appraisals you'd wipe the hell out of him right but I'm absolutely brilliant why don't we do that anyway why don't we do that to ourselves here we were positive mindset and you hear me talk about being you feel invincible and I used to think it was because I was such a good soldier that I felt invincible but it wasn't it was the team that I had behind me I fought I figured out what teamwork was from a young age of 16 all the way up to the Special Forces yeah I know what teamwork is it's just getting the best soldiers in the world putting him together getting the job done suppose in the business world in the best TVs together that's the best team get the job done it doesn't work like that teamwork is about being dedicated and committed to each other not the cause people say you should be dedicated and committed to the cause you should be dedicated and committed to the cause anyway that's why you're in that job right that when you get into work people that will be professional that's not added extra as well you should be professional at everything you do all right we break it down to the core things when you're dedicated and committed to each other that's when the project the mission or whatever it may be the task will just hit you in the face boom because you've all got the same goal is just all there for each other it's that natural trust that natural bond that that makes you feel invincible and then you roll on to leadership laughs I think leadership's the easy part of things I think being a team member is lot harder than being a leader but you're offloading your responsibilities as a leader and what it's doing it's filling the gaps that week you play to your strengths as a team as soon as there's a weakness in that team well guess what that person is strong at that they come in they naturally fill that gap you should know each other enough to go right boom this is where I lift you up okay right now he needs lifting up now she needs lifting up now you want to make each other feel invincible the purpose in life is you is this journey of self-discovery and that is through trying things that is through failure that is through picking yourself back up but do not be scared of failure the moment you embrace failure and you realize this everyday part of life then you're not scared of it the more you try the more you fail granted however the more you fail the more you bounce back and the more you bounce back the stronger you become thank you you
