Mindset Over Market: Stop Lowering Your Goals

Hey, everybody! I’ve got a fire lit under me today—and it’s because I keep hearing the same excuse over and over: “The market is bad.”
 
Listen, I don’t care what industry you’re in—markets rise and fall. That’s life. But if you’re letting the market set your expectations? You’ve already lost.
 

The Wake-Up Call That Shifted My Mindset

Years ago, the market dropped fast. I went to a top producer in my company, someone I respected, and said, “The market’s down—I guess I should lower my goals.”
You know what he said?
“Do you have 100% market share?”
I laughed and said, “Of course not.”
And he hit me with the truth:
“Then you have opportunity. Go take it.”
💥 That was it. That was the shift.

Everyone Else Is Backing Down—That’s Your Chance

When the market dips, most people drop their activity. They coast. They wait.
Not you.
Not if you’ve got a winner’s mindset.
This is your chance to:
  • Take market share.
  • Change your approach.
  • Be the voice in the market when everyone else goes quiet.
The market didn’t beat you. Your mindset did—if you let it.

Your Reset Today

Ask yourself: What belief are you holding about the market that’s limiting you?
Challenge it. Flip it.
Decide to lead, not lean back.
 
Because you weren’t built to shrink in tough markets. You were built to own them.
Take care, everybody—and remember, the market’s not in control. You are.
Let’s go attack it. 💥
