From a 7-day to a 30-day Challenge... Can you hang in there?

Hello,

Last month I did a 7-day challenge and I got lots of people asking what's next? so I have gone through some of my old neuro-linguistic programming textbooks.

Welcome to Day 1 of the 30-Day of my NLP Mindset practicum for HVAC&R professionals!

I am George Haydock, and I'll be guiding you and me, yes this has to be a together transformative journey; it's more fun this way.

Let me start with a question: What attributes do you think contributed to the success of industry pioneers like James Harrison, Willis Carrier, Steve Jobs, or Elon Musk? Was it solely their technological advancements, or did their mindset play a crucial role?

In my view, mindset is the most invaluable asset for any entrepreneur or leader, especially in the face of rapid and exponential changes that are defining our industry today.

Why is our mindset so important?

Well, it acts as the lens through which we perceive the world. It determines how we allocate our time, choose our associates, and invest our resources.

The challenge lies in the fact that many of us fail to identify how our mindset influences our lives, let alone the type of mindset we need to possess.

What we often overlook is the power we possess to intentionally select and shape our mindset.

And that's precisely what this 30-day challenge aims to achieve: a shift in our perspective and a restoration of control over our mindset, enabling you and me to lead the life and business we desire.

Over the coming weeks, together we will learn the foundational principles of mindset shaping, taking the initial steps toward cultivating four essential mindsets I consider paramount for every entrepreneur and leader in this era of unparalleled exponential change:

Abundance Mindset

Exponential Mindset

Purpose-Driven Mindset

Epiphany Mindset

In this first session, I will delve into why your mindset matters and how you can extract the maximum value from the next 30 days of this practicum.

Let's begin this enlightening journey together!

Understanding the Workings of Your Mindset like an NLP Master Practitioner.

To illustrate the workings of your mindset, let's draw an analogy from the world of artificial intelligence (AI). As you may know, AI scientists train neural networks by repeatedly exposing them to various examples.

Consider this: If a neural network is consistently shown thousands of cat pictures and then presented with an image of a Pink elephant, it will incorrectly identify it as a cat. The neural network doesn't possess the knowledge to discern otherwise.

Our brains, similar to neural networks, operate in much the same way.

The challenge lies in the fact that neural networks (and our brains) are only as effective as the information they receive.

If we constantly subject our minds to negative perspectives, our outlook will naturally tend toward negativity. We won't know any better.

So, how are you training your mental neural network?

Most of us remain unaware that we are already engaging in this training process through the media we consume and the company we keep. It operates subtly in the background. For instance, social media echo chambers or the constant influx of negative news from outlets like CNN ("Crisis News Network") or the Nightly News can bombard us, leaving us feeling perpetually pessimistic and on high alert.

Taking a proactive approach to understanding and shaping our mindsets is of utmost importance. That's precisely what you're embarking upon by participating in this 30-day challenge. I, too, continually refine and safeguard my mindset. By the end of this program, you will possess the tools and flexibility to do the same.

Empowering Your Mindset Experience

Throughout this practicum, I will suggest fun exercises for you to undertake. These exercises are not only enjoyable but also incredibly powerful. I urge you to actively participate in these exercises rather than merely reading or listening to them. By taking an active role in your learning and development, you will gain the most from the next 30 days. Trust me on this—you'll appreciate the results later.

Above all, remember to have fun!

What Lies Ahead?

The Mindset Practicum comprises numerous lessons and exercises that I will post on Linkedin for you once a day over the next 30 days.

Some exercises will involve posting on Linkedin, Threads or Twitter.

Hey if you don't have a Twitter account, I recommend creating one. It's an incredibly powerful social tool for entrepreneurs and why not try the new app Threads as it is only a week old?

Additionally, you can communicate by DM on Linkedin or email me [email protected] , so if you wish to engage in a conversation, Twitter or Thread is the ideal place to reach out.

I look forward to our upcoming session on Day 2, where we will kickstart the cultivation of your Abundance Mindset!

Best wishes,

Uncle George.
