A famous saying states that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it. In my initial days as an entrepreneur, I didn’t believe in this quote, as I thought it was impractical and cliché. For me, it didn’t even work in the real world. For example, what if someone is diagnosed with a terminal illness? How do you react your way out of that situation? Identify a negative situation that happened to you. How did you reframe it into a positive outcome? Discuss and explore the positive possibilities when you change your perspective and state of mind. However, I went through a period of immense difficulty in my business, and during this time, I learned how important one’s mindset could be. It can often be the distinguishing factor between success and failure. Let Alex Alexakis tell you why.
