Description

This week, Traci sits down with Scott Shickler, one of the world's leading experts on mindset-based empowerment and CEO of Seven Mindsets.


Scott has interviewed billionaires, Olympic athletes, and celebrities (including an unforgettable three-hour dinner with Oprah Winfrey) to uncover what truly drives success.


Spoiler alert: It's not talent, luck, or connections. It's mindset.


Scott reveals the seven specific mindsets that separate high achievers from everyone else, why our brains come "factory-loaded" with limitation software, and how even the most successful people battle 30,000-50,000 automatic negative thoughts daily.


Plus, he shares his vision for transforming HR from "Human Resources" to "Human Success."


What We Cover:

  • Why Oprah says mindset is "over everything" (even with all her resources and opportunities)

  • Richard Branson's surprising regrets and why he'd "dream bigger" despite owning 400 companies

  • The "one inch higher" challenge that reveals how we limit our own potential

  • How to identify and flip your "ANTs" (Automatic Negative Thoughts)

  • Why Scott returned as CEO after his company's culture shifted away from mindset-based practices

  • The revolutionary MQ (Mindset Quotient) that measures how your mindsets compare to world-class achievers


Key Quote: "Your mindsets matter. They determine the quality of your life at home, at school, and in the workplace." – Scott Schickler
