Drawing on people he has interviewed over the years, Montemagno identifies three mental habits he associates with achievement: using available resources, focusing on controllable variables and interpreting events constructively. Work and sport examples make the questions concrete. He stresses that successful people also experience frustration; in his observation, the difference lies in how quickly they recover a perspective that helps them act.
Key points
- Start with skills, resources and advantages already available.
- Focus attention on preparation, behavior and strategy rather than other people’s reactions.
