How To Thrive In 2025 with Meridith Powell #74 Close The Deal
Description
Meridith Powell, Chair of the National Speakers Association reveals key insights from her new book, Thrive: Strategies to Turn Uncertainty to Competitive Advantage
3 takeaways on this episode of the Close The Deal Podcast:
👉 Focus on What You Can Control: "Success isn’t logical—it’s about mindset, not circumstances. The brain is wired for negativity, but when you shift focus to what you can control and block out what you can’t, you take back your power. A relentless vision, reviewed daily, fuels you to move forward even when uncertainty strikes."
👉Condition Yourself for Change: "Change is inevitable, and the biggest mistake people make is waiting for it to hit. Embrace the suck—be a realist. Jim Beam survived Prohibition by asking, ‘What if?’ and preparing anyway. Your opportunity lies not in avoiding change, but in being ready for it before it arrives."
👉 Progress Powers Potential: "It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress. Every step forward builds confidence and momentum. Whether in business, finances, or relationships, small progress adds up. Focus on making consistent strides, and you’ll find yourself thriving even in the toughest times."
