On this episode of Ask The Experts, Alka Sharma talks to Dr Obom Bowen to talk about mindset and how we can leverage it to overcome challenges facing us and be great.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Really, successful people are just those who try through their failures and eventually live to talk about it. Once you’ve journeyed through it and done it repetitively then you’re considered successful, but it’s really just overcoming the last failure. I’m more afraid of my successes. When you’re on top of the mountain that’s when you feel great and you let off the gas.
• We’re either pushed by pain or pulled by a vision. Your desire is drawn to that vision. You have to have the discipline every day to cross the bridge to accomplish the thing, but if you’re not committed to that desire you’ll never get started. And if you’re not consistent you’ll never finish. Successful people finish what they start.
• I’m very observant and that came from my time in the Marine Corps. Most of my time as an infantryman was to observe the enemy, not just what they’re doing but the intention of what they’re doing and how that will affect us. Observation and anticipation gives you a mode of how to act, which applies in relationships as much as in business.
• There’s no word in the Chinese language for ‘crisis’. The closest word the Chinese have translates as ‘opportunity’. So, where we see crisis the Chinese see opportunity, this is why China’s taking over the world. That perspective is different because of how they are programmed through their language. There is no business that started without a problem to solve. Business owners and entrepreneurs are the people taking the risk, going to solve the problem, fixing the crisis for a fee. They’re stepping up to be the leader, and we all have the potential to be a leader, we all have the potential and the ability to study, but it’s not just the studying, it’s the application. There’s information, knowledge and wisdom. Information is what you take it, knowledge is what you gain when you take it in, wisdom is what you get after you take action on that knowledge.

BEST MOMENTS‘The mindset of a successful person is: “I’ve been here before, I’ve failed before, I’ve done this before, I know I can do this because I have the scars to show I’ve persevered through previous failures to now get to this success and I want to do it again and again and again.’
‘Discipline is the bridge between success and failure.’
‘There’s only two things you need to know about women, I’ve figured them out completely. Number one is: I don’t know, and number two is: I’m still finding out!’
‘We’re all born with the same potential. What one person did another can do.’
