Jamie McIntyre meets his mentor Richard Branson

In his book "What I didn't Learn at School But Wish I had" Jamie McIntyre mentioned: 'My millionaire mentor said, "Mindset represents 80% of success. Strategies only equal 20%. Therefore, if we neglect mindset it is going to hold us back from financial succcess." I often believe that the reason why I have excelled financially in the past eight years of my life, where many other people around me who have had the same opportunities have not, is because I developed my mindset. My world has changed mainly because I have changed. That is exciting because the faster we change our mindset, the faster we will create the things we want.'

Mindset is very important and crucial for our success. With this in mind, we have compiled some articles that can help us in creating a mindset for success.

5 Ways to Attract More Success - by Colleen Kettenhofen
Take responsibility for the choices you've made in life. No matter where you're at, accept that you are where you are as a result of your choices.

I know of highly intelligent, highly educated people who will not take that first simple step. They are "stuck" in jobs they can't stand, emotionally bankrupt, and in some cases financially bankrupt, too. Mired in self-pity and constantly blaming others they will never achieve their dreams.

Your Mindset Determines Your Life - by Sopan Greene, M.A.
Your thoughts become words, your words become actions and your actions become your destiny. Someone else came up with that, but I've always remembered it because it's true. Our actions show who we truly are and how shallow or deep our character is.Where you are today is a direct reflection of the words, thoughts and actions you took days, months and years ago.
