INTRODUCTION

Master Your Mindset, Master Your Life

––––––––

Earlier that year I had attended college in an attempt to find my purpose, a plan for my future. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life exactly; all I knew was that I wanted to change the world with my voice – with my passions.

I had a vague interest in physical health but enjoyed finding healthier diets and more effective workout routines, so I decided to engage in this program at college. I started learning more about it, and as my knowledge base grew, my interest dwindled.

I tried pursuing financing. I tried pursuing biology. I tried pursuing marketing. Nothing seemed to satisfy my desire and passion.

Nothing seemed to work, and I was a little desperate to figure out something that actually satisfied this purpose. It’s funny looking back and thinking about where I was just a short couple years ago. I didn’t set out to become a Mindset Master and expert, but this is exactly what happened.

After the third day of spring break my freshmen year of college, I decided I was going to drop out of and write this book – a book about succeeding in life through your supreme power of a mastered mindset.

I had heard of the successful mindset before, but I’d never actually invested my time and money into learning more about it. Through coaches, mentors, and people that already have the success I want to have in life, I was able to learn the best surrounding what makes people succeed despite all odds, and how to harness that power to influence my life and the lives of others.

I was fresh out of high school, a C and D average student, a college dropout with no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I dropped out of college earlier that year and heard every bit of it from my family, friends, and teachers that thought I’d be wasting my potential.

You’re a smart kid with the possibility to do great things in life should you choose to apply yourself. You need to stay in school, and find a job where this can happen. This is the reasonable, safe bet they said.

But the reasonable and safe bet would not provide me with the possibility to do anything I wanted to do with my life, and this is something that your family, friends, and teachers may not understand themselves.

We are living in a world today where it is in fact much easier and safer to do the bare minimum, to not take full responsibility for our circumstances and the overall quality of our lives and the things we can do with them.

It’s an epidemic of individuals wanting to live happier lifestyles and experience a sense of fulfillment, but who end up falling short of their goals, losing their motivation, and lacking direction or passion.

Do you...?

Lack the confidence to improve the quality of your life

Wake up feeling unmotivated to begin the day

Find daily life to be the same old routine

Allow others to determine your capabilities

Know there’s something more out there, but can’t find it

Let negative thoughts and emotions dictate your life

Want change NOW, but simply don’t know where to start

If so, then welcome to the club! If you are passionate about living your dreams, but your life and mindset aren’t what you’ve expected, you’re not alone.

My research with thousands of individuals shows that only about 10% truly believe they are living the lives they were meant to live. That means about 90% of people have the desire, but not the results.

Since you’re reading Mindset Mastery, you know in your heart that doing "okay or scraping by" isn’t cutting it. You know there’s more.

I’m on a MISSION to put an end to this:

My name is Nicholas Dodge, and that’s what this book is all about. I’m on a mission to end underachieving, disbelieving, and underliving, and that’s what this book is here to help you with!

I meet with mission-oriented business owners all the time who are not seeing the results that will sustain themselves, and their businesses. And it breaks my heart to see these kindred spirits suffering – and not doing the work or living the lives they were meant to live.

If you have a gap between where you are now and where you want to be with your mindset, health, wealth, education, or business, then this just might be the most important message you’ve ever received.

Say goodbye to underachieving, disbelieving, and underliving. Say goodbye to the fear and stress you have around living the life of happiness, success, and freedom you were meant to be living.

Say hello to ease, peace, and joy as you take control of your life and reach all the goals you’ve dreamed of reaching, and live the life you’ve always dreamed of living.

Here’s why you’re not experiencing enough success:

It’s shockingly simple.

The biggest problem I see is that people aren’t fully INVESTED in themselves or their goals.

Here’s what I mean. If you’re jumping ship from goal to goal or dream to dream, and look for thousands of possible solutions without giving deep effort to a proven, effective path – that’s the slow boat that never leaves the shore, or sinks in the middle of your journey.

It is a common misconception that you have to work 60 (70, 80, 90...) hours a week in order to be successful.

It’s not a matter of doing A LOT of something, it’s more about doing the right thing.

––––––––

This has the unfortunate side effect of repelling your ideal lifestyle and successes, because you fail to provide yourself a complete SOLUTION to an urgent problem or need.

If you’re one of the 90% that wants to make a difference and impact on your life and the lives of others AND you haven’t yet gotten the results you want, you’re about to learn a critical strategy that allows you to worry less, live more, and make a bigger difference on yourself and those around you.

This isn’t going to be about abstract success consciousness (although I think it is severally important). This is actually something very practical.

That strategy is this:

Construct your positive attitudes, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs surrounding happiness, success, and freedom because, anybody can be successful. It’s a matter of wanting to, then doing what it takes to achieve it for yourself.

Doing this immediately shifts you from jumping from goal to goal or dream to dream, stops you from discouraging success and wasting your potential, and brings you to a highly valued state of mind that motivates and allows you to begin your transformational process.

The best thing about this: You finally realize it’s not that successful people don’t make mistakes, because they do. They make mistakes just like everyone, they just don’t repeat them. More importantly, however, they believe in themselves and stop nothing short of their wildest dreams.

This one change in your mental structure changes EVERYTHING.

You’ve probably heard about "entrepreneurial or success" mindset.

I refer to this as your vessel for taking you from point A to point B. Sometimes, this vessel can have flaws, and when it has flaws, it sinks. You have the right vehicle to take you across the river, but perhaps you had holes in the sides or not enough fuel in the tank.

This mindset and your beliefs are the best cure to crossing these raging waves, and ultimately getting you away from your current state to one that is much more desirable.

Here’s why: The successful mindset is all about providing you with the best odds imaginable to reaching the best results imaginable. This successful mindset is your key to a deep level of transformation.

And when you have that, you’re well set for a life of wonderful experience, infinite knowledge, and true happiness, success, and freedom.

Here’s how I define "Mindset Mastery": An established sense of positive attitudes, thoughts, and emotions that produce constructive beliefs, decisions, and actions that deliver a highly-desirable result or transformation in the most effective way possible.

Mindset Mastery =

Amazing Transformation

+

Generous Results

What about you? Do you have a mindset that’s constructed for success in health, love, social, educational, professional, and financial areas of your life? If not, then this guide is your first step in that right direction.

In this book, I’ll show you how establishing and implementing the successful mindset is your surefire way for your life and business to take off. And how you can live your life to its fullest potential.

This is your opportunity to create the life and/or business that you’ve always dreamed of, while having and doing the things you want to have and do, and becoming the person you want to become.

One more thing I want to present before we begin is that I WAS a part of the 90%... When I first began taking full control of my life, business and the successes I experienced in each, I was excited to see my first improvement.

I was a C and D average student until I dropped out of college. I was addicted to drugs. I didn’t have a known purpose to sharing my message and strategies, or for changing the world with what I knew worked.

I remember sitting in my bedroom with a deep desire to move out of my parent’s place and finally start living my passions... I was working on this soon to be best-selling title Mindset Mastery – A Proven Breakthrough Guide To A Life Of Unimaginable Happiness, Success, & Freedom, a book and dream that I lost hope in countless times.

I wasn’t an author (yet), I wasn’t a mindset and business strategist (yet), I wasn’t an entrepreneur (yet), I didn’t have professional experience (yet). I didn’t have any credentials (yet).

THE ONLY THING I HAD WAS A DREAM AND A DEEP, BURNING DESIRE TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS AND LIFE.

At this point, you’re probably thinking this was all I needed to create the successes I wanted to create and live the life I wanted to live. Nope. I found myself (drum roll please) ... A part of the 90%.

Not only did I have that deep desire to change, but not reaching my goals due to my LACK mindset and dwindling belief in myself and potential landed me right back at the start, or oftentimes worse than when I began.

That experience was a turning point for me.

I realized that being desperate and having a deep desire to change the quality of my life alone wasn’t going to work. It was then that I was introduced to the true concept of the Successful Mindset, and I’ve never looked back.

It’s been long since my unmotivated days of sitting in my bedroom waiting for success to land in my lap.

Now, I’m a 2-time best-selling author of titles Mindset Mastery and Becoming the Alpha, CEO and founder of course packages Leadership Secrets and Project Mindset Mastery, Mindset Coach, Strategist, and Speaker that clients love and rave about, and I’m well on my way to running a 6-figure business, all while providing the utmost value and transformation to those in the same situation I found myself in – all before the age of 21.

I too had the fears of failure... and the fears of success. I too had the fears of making the wrong decisions... and the fears of making any decisions at all. I too had the fears of mental, physical, and emotional pain... and the fears of it all being for nothing.

Those fears hindered my progress but when channeled productively, they were the driving force that initially kick started my journey.

I too thought that I was going to need all of the answers in order to be successful. But the truth of the matter is, you don’t. If everyone had all the answers we’d all have businesses that made us a billion dollars a year.

I too thought that my success was going to be dependent upon my upbringing. But the truth of the matter is, success is dependent only on your willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve it for yourself – regardless of your past.

I too thought that success simply wasn’t going to be for somebody like me. But the truth of the matter is, success is for everyone. I repeat, success is for anyone... that earns it!

Bottom line: Mindset Mastery is the single best way to realize your potential to live the life you’ve dreamed of living, serve yourself and others deeply, and make a positive impact with your goals, desires, and passions. Allow me to show you how this works.

WHAT IS MINDSET?

So, what exactly is a Successful Mindset? It starts with designing the life you want to live and not looking back.

However, it’s not just about designing your ideal life. That’s just the foundational information that sets the guideline for what you need to do to reach it.

It’s about creating a blueprint – a mindset – that delivers the elements, steps, and strategies required to support the vessel that will ultimately lead you to your transformation and ideal destination. Not just a Band-Aid, but the big result you really wanted – the reason you began your journey in the first place.

This would radically change the world if we all became aware of our realistic potential to do our best work, and live our best lives.

It’s my intention that in reading this, you can learn from my hard-learned lessons and accelerate your learning and success, so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I have.

Now you shouldn’t view everything in this book to be truth because it’s not. I’m not preaching anything in this book in such a way because I want you to remain open to alternate approaches that may prove to be more effective. Every individual is unique.

The principles and practices in this book are not necessarily true or false; right or wrong. I would be a fool to preach it that way and you would be a
