This is an interview video with Iva, a founder of Mind of a Winner program where inspires and motivate others through positive ways.
The main topic of the interview is about mindset for success and designing life in a way where we win every single day. She gave some useful tips about self-motivation and mindset by telling her business experience and personal stories.
First, she shared her story about the business journey. She didn’t expect to start a business when she was young. However, after participating in a seminar in London when she was 25 years old, she began to ask herself questions, and the questions are about her life and values. The questions were so powerful that she thought she needs to do something else in her life. After asking herself with deep questions, she began to write her own book, make her website, and help others. Also, she started a business in the UK with her husband.
However, after she had a baby, it was too hard for her to go back to the daily routine. It was difficult to prioritize her daily plan and manage a number of tasks in a limited time. Therefore, she tried to find her way to organize her time and control her mindset during her busy days. She used an empty notebook, and she started to write down powerful questions. She started with the question ‘what am I grateful for?’, and she recommended this question is a great way to start a day. Then, she asked herself more specific questions like ‘what is the most important thing I need to get done today?’. Also, she wrote some notes that she learned and she got inspired. Although she doesn’t have enough time to study, she spends at least a few minutes a day to learn and be motivated.
She organized her tasks by asking herself questions, but also she tried to do things more enjoyable. One of the methods she used was a mind map, and it let her manage things easier and more effective.
Also, she uses books in order to inspire herself. For instance, when she wants to get back in the right mindset and motivate herself, she grabs a book which has positive quotes inside. In addition, she writes a journal or booklet that shows her achievement and success in her life. Then, she can grab the books and quickly go through highlighted parts so that she can settle down and keep her positive mindset.
Unlike other people, when she sometimes lost her motivation and energy, she asks herself ‘why is this happening to me?’. She asks herself questions continuously and tries to find a better solution rather than getting depressed and doing nothing. She tells her brain the reasons to justify why she thinks that way. She tries not to fall into the darkness and keeps asking herself the reason why she should be happy. Also, she learns lessons through her mistakes, and she doesn’t connect her identity with them. For instance, as an entrepreneur, she sometimes receives negative reviews and comments from customers. While some people are discouraged and disappointed, Iva programs her mind and asks the question about the reason why others get disappointed on her products.
She emphasizes that aligning daily actions with a long-term vision is as important as asking questions. Although it is the same question, it will be different every day because feelings and events are different. One of the tips Iva highlighted in this interview is to write down one thing that you did well every day. If you write down things you did well every day, there will be 30 good points every month. And those will help you to get over a difficult situation and recover your mindset. Therefore, it is essential to keep asking questions every day and make a habit of that.
There are a number of ways to get motivations, and today, there are many opportunities to get inspired by others. For instance, there are Facebook groups where people can share their ideas and tips about the mindset. Also, the members share lots of quotes and daily motivations so that they can be motivated in an easier and more comfortable way.
