Frank Mir says that the difference between a good fighter and a great fighter is mindset. Now, obviously I believe mindset is one of the single most important things in the life of an entrepreneur and a business professional; otherwise, I would not have built Mindset Engine for you. But the important thing with mindset […]
: Dr. Carol Dweck in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, explains the concept of having a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.

You know who I am talking about… Those people who drain energy from us rather than build energy into us—the Zombies in our life.
