[Podcast] 3 Ways To Cultivate A New Mindset For The Professional In The Midlife Stage Of Life

SUMMARY of Episode #20: 3 Ways To Cultivate A New Mindset For The Professional In The Midlife Stage Of Life

In this episode, I talk about the necessity of cultivating a new mindset in the midlife stage of life that will enable the Professional in Midlife to make decisions that will reduce future regrets.

There are many questions that are being asked during this stage of life such as “What if it doesn’t work?”, “What if I lose my job?”, “What if I take the risk and lose it all?” All the what if’s. 

LISTED BELOW ARE THE MAIN POINTS OF THE PODCAST THAT WILL HELP YOU IN THE CHANGE PROCESS:

1. Read inspirational / motivational books: Here are some of the books that I recommended in the podcast – Start by Jon Acuf, The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy, The Millionaire Messenger by Brendon Burchard, Made To Stick and Decisive by Chip and Dan Heath, Magic of Public Speaking by Andrii Sedniev
2. Join an association or group that helps you in an area that’s of concern such as Toastmasters International. You can find a club in your area.
3. Build a new network of professionals that are doing the things you would like to be doing. This could begin online and then taken offline if needed. 
4. Write, write, write: Even if you are not a writer, taking the time to do a brain-dump will help to bring clarity within your mind. You will remove layers of noise above the surface of your mind, allowing you to go below and find the nuggets that will help you with your next move. It’s amazing what you will find there. I suggested using the Lift App to help track your progress as well as doing it with an accountability group.
5. Start a Podcast as a way of finding your voice. Your voice isn’t only in what you say, but it is about the value you can bring to others. I’m finding my voice through my blogs and podcast. It is an evolutionary process. All you need to know can be found at The Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn or you can enroll in Podcast AtoZ with Cliff Ravenscraft – the Podcast Answer Man.

As you listen to this episode you will hear of my discovery that came through my writing of my dad and how he was an entrepreneur all of his life, and I did not make the connection until recently. He found a niche even though there were a number of people doing the very thing he was doing, but he narrowed down to a pond to fish in rather than the ocean. I’m now more fascinated in taking more time to look into how he did it. This will help me as well in my own effort of niching down.

WHO WILL BENEFIT?

As a Professional man in midlife or a Professional woman in midlife, I do believe you will be able to get some helpful suggestions or be motivated to take action in changing your mindset. This will benefit you in your current career or in your future endeavors especially if you are seeking to make a change in your life.
