Your mindset is one of the most important tools you have in life. It can make or break you. Many times people don't realize the impact their thoughts and words have on their lives. They tell themselves stories, whether it's about their work, their finances or even their health. These stories become real. They dictate your future.

If you take the time to open your eyes to these mindset problems, you can start changing your life now instead of waiting to hit rock bottom.
