Week 3 - Cure yourself of the Excusitis disease, the Failure disease
Here are some questions to reflect on while reading chapter 2. What are the most common types of excuses the author identifies? What strategies from the chapter seem most effective for reducing “excusitis” in everyday life? How might someone recognize the difference between a legitimate obstacle and an excuse? The chapter suggests that excuses can feel rational even when they’re holding us back—why do you think that is?

Common type intelligence, health, and age. I really like the recommendation of reminding yourself that your attitude matters more than your intelligence and to never underestimate it. A legitimate obstacle is if it happens out of nowhere like you have a heart attack or something but an excuse is a justification which you can get around like theirs accommodations to go around the problem. The author mentions how excuses can seem rational and that our mind will look for validation to prove that.

Week 2 Believe you can and you will
Here are some questions to think about and reflect as you read chapter 1. Feel free to comment under this post as you read the chapter. Do you think “thinking big” is realistic for everyone, or are there limits? How can belief impact leadership and influence over others? The chapter suggests that people often underestimate themselves. Why do you think that happens? How does environment (family, friends, school, workplace) influence someone’s level of belief? How does belief in one’s ability influence success, especially at the beginning of a new goal or challenge? Why do people sometimes hold back from pursuing bigger goals, even when opportunities are available? What are some common excuses people use, and how might those excuses limit growth or success?

I use to believe that their were limits to thinking big but the Think big book changed my mind along with other books and hanging around different people. As the chapter mention if you have a positive belief system then you will eventually figure out the how. Surroundings influence someone belief in the sense that if I surround myself with people who limit themselves then I will limit myself and vice versa. Me personally, I want to make 10k a month and I won't get there if I hang around friends that make 1k a month. People are reluctant to try new things because they don't want to fail they see failure as an embarrassment when in actuality it's not. The limited belief system that people (including myself) use is that they can't, they can't do x and y.

What stood out for me in the introduction was the theme of believing in yourself and the consequences of not believing in whatever it is that you're pursuing. The author argues that if you don't believe in yourself then you won't succeed. People might accept average results because it's easy and there's comfortability- I think he spoke about this in the book not sure. I think to some extent the authors position is realistic but in some instances its not he stated that people can't succeed if they try something out of luck you have to be firm and sometimes people just wing it and wind up successful.

My name is Jaden but some call me JJ or Moreno either or. I'm from The Bronx, New York I was born and raised there. My dad was born in Honduras which makes me Honduran- American. I have a ton of books that have impacted me a lot when it comes to transforming my mind, but one book that has helped me was Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T Eker. What made me join Turn the page, was to learn from ambitious people like myself also wanting to stay consistent in my journey to entrepreneurship because I've been slacking.
