467: Success Starts With Your Thinking with Mind Your Mindset Author Megan Hyatt Miller

The last time today’s guest appeared (which was also her first time), I wrote that I hoped it wouldn’t be her last. Well, lucky for you and me, my hopes were not in vein. I’m talking, of course, about Full Focus CEO, Megan Hyatt Miller.

Her new book, cowritten with her father Michael Hyatt, is called Mind Your Mindset: The Science That Shows Success Starts with Your Thinking.

With the book, they pose the question, “Do you trust the voice in your head?”

Our brains are remarkable, no doubt. They subconsciously translate the events around us into meaningful storylines that inform what we think and how we live. The problem is, the stories our minds feed us as facts aren’t always true.

Worse, these stories turn into false beliefs about others, the world, and ourselves that keep us from our true potential.

These limiting beliefs confront us all. But what if you could harness your brain’s operating system to tell a new story? Not just any story. A true story that empowers you to overcome limitations and surpass your goals.

Drawing upon the latest insights in performance psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, as well as case studies from their own clients, Megan and her New York Times bestselling dad Michael Hyatt, outline a framework we can follow to test our own assumptions and start living better, truer stories that shape superior outcomes in business and life.
