Monday Oct 23, 2023
Monday Oct 23, 2023
On this week's episode of Next Level Minds I chat all about the three belief systems that you need to implement to be successful in life.
1. If someone else can do it, so can you.
2. The work and action have to come before the belief.
3. Understand that IF you are experiencing adversity and rejection then its important to grasp two very important concepts... one, adversity is either here or it is on the way and two, believing that rejection is God's protection.
