Ignite a No Matter What Mindset

Though I’m featured in the hit film and book The Secret and travel around the world speaking about the Law of Attraction, for most of my life I’ve been guided by a different law, the one I call the “Law of No Matter What.” Living by the “Law of No Matter What” or having a “No Matter What” mindset, as I like to call it, is a declaration to do whatever is required, to create holistic success.

A “No Matter What” mindset is not just about successfully securing new investors or joint venture partnerships, or attaining your first and second quarter revenue goals. As leaders, our commitment must be to lead in all areas of our life, to constantly take a holistic approach to success with a willingness to build our character where necessary to achieve four important and uniquely defined goals.

1. To lead in a successful business that serves first and garners great returns on our efforts.
2. To create winning relationships that feel mutually safe, heartwarming and gratifying in which to be.
3. To maintain optimal health, which allows you to perform the business and leisure activities that you define as important.
4. To build a solid spiritual foundation and practice that allows you to both understand your higher purpose and set clear intentions, while being able to access your internal navigational system at will for guidance and peace of mind.

Joan Baez once said, “Action is the antidote to despair,” to which I add, “and the prescription for success.” Action must become your new best friend in every area in which you want to see progress. Just reading about powerful new ideas will not cut the mustard, nor will it catapult your relationships to a ten on the happiness barometer. You have to do something today that you didn’t do yesterday.

I want to introduce to you a new concept that I define in my book, “No Matter What!” If I asked you to think of muscles that, when fully developed, could help you live the life you want, you’d probably think of the physical muscles in your body—your triceps, biceps, “six-pack,” hamstrings, and so on. But did you know you also have another set of “muscles” that significantly add to the quality of your life as they become strengthened? I’m talking about the muscles of your character, the ones I call your bounce-back muscles.

These muscles are not developed at the gym, while running or by drinking protein shakes. Your bounce-back muscles are shaped and formed by life experiences—by overcoming challenges and rising to the occasion. The main ones are:

1. Your Understanding muscle
2. Your Faith-in-myself muscle
3. Your Take-action muscle
4. Your I-know-like-I-know muscle
5. Your Honesty muscle
6. Your Say-Yes muscle
7. Your Determination muscle
8. Your Forgiveness muscle
9. Your Highest Choice muscle

You build these muscles the same way you build your physical muscles-by using them! I have outlined all nine of these muscles and the action steps to build them for you in my newest book, No Matter What!
