Today, “mindset” has become a majorly buzzy term, with plenty of self-styled gurus out there offering opinions on how to better it. For Dr. Nick Sotelo, a life and career coach and formerly a marriage therapist, sports coach, academic and corrections officer, his take on mindset is, at its root, both impactful and simple one: “Mindset is what your mind is set on.”
Through his coaching process, The Upgraded Life, Nick blends his scientific knowledge of psychology with personal development tenets designed to help clients examine their vision and core values and clarify their mindset in particular. As Nick puts it, your mindset is profoundly shaping your lived experience, whether you’re aware of it or not.
“You can’t escape it. Everybody has a mindset,” he says. “The problem is too many people are just unaware of it.”
And for a truly successful, fulfilled life, achieving that awareness is vital. In this episode of True North Man, Paul and Nick talk about the hurdles society has set up that keep men from reaching an understanding, the exercises he recommends for figuring out your mindset’s current state (and what’s needed to improve it), and how being a “drink-from-the-firehose” guy ultimately led Nick to find his calling.
What You’ll Learn
Favorite Quote:
“To achieve meaningful success, it’s going to come back to your mindset and what your mind is set on. It’s about your attitudes and your beliefs. It’s about your fears and how you’ve learned to address your fears. It’s about your doubts and how you’ve learned to address your doubts… The problem is, too many people either don’t believe they have control over their mindset, or they’re just not aware that their mindset is one of the biggest factors responsible for the life they have right here, right now.”
