Most people’s thinking ability is limited. But there’s a dimension of thinking called Thinking About Your Thinking where you step back and observe your own mind. It’s a subtle mental shift that creates a massive change in perception and possibilities — a shift that Dan Sullivan discovered early in life, which went on to become the basis for every concept and tool in The Strategic Coach® Program.

Most entrepreneurs are fixated on their competition and on external conditions they can’t control. To them, cash flow is a constant source of worry. What they don’t realize is that their success isn’t actually about them at all. It’s about who they can create value for and what those people aspire to. Entrepreneurs who know exactly how they create value can cross over a line where cash flow becomes certain and the model they’ve created continually improves. Once you reach this point, you become totally confident that your cash flow will always be predictable.

And only the technologies that are useful to you should be a part of your life. Adopt the eight ownership mindsets in this book to ensure a positive relationship with both dogs and technology.

Every ambitious entrepreneur in the world wants to have their own self-managing company. This 60-minute audiobook will provide you and your Unique Ability® Team with the eight crucial entrepreneurial mindsets necessary to make this.

Every day, there are multiple things vying for our attention - people, businesses, technologies, apps. But many of us don’t realize that our attention is our property. It belongs to us just like any other resource we own. And when we choose what we give our attention to, we can focus fully on our own purpose and on what’s best for us. When you take a step back and think about your thinking, you can take control of your attention, as well as your time and your purpose, rather than allowing others to be in control. It’s up to you.

But you’ll soon find that the imagination can have a huge impact on your behavior, and a simple mindset shift can literally change every thought you think.
