The document discusses the seven elements of a high performing mindset: 1) Desire, which provides motivation to succeed through a burning desire to achieve a purpose. 2) Commitment, which is built on integrity and wisdom in keeping commitments. 3) Responsibility, which involves taking risks, being accountable, and accepting that one is responsible for their own destiny rather than expecting others to provide for them. 4) Hard work, which is necessary to achieve excellence and requires sacrifice and discipline. 5) Positive believing, which comes from preparation and having confidence, not just positive thinking without effort. 6) Persistence, which is a commitment to finish what one starts through enduring challenges. 7) Pride of performance, taking pride in doing one

1. Desire1. Desire
The motivation to succeed comes from the
burning desire to achieve a purpose.
Napoleon Hill wrote, "Whatever the mind of
man can conceive and believe, the mind can
achieve.”

4. 4www.exploreHR.org
A burning desire
is the starting
point of all
accomplishment.
Just like a small
fire cannot give
much heat, a
weak desire
cannot produce
great results.

IntegrityIntegrity and wisdomwisdom are
the two pillars on which to
build and keep commitments.

3. Responsibility
People with character accept
responsibilities. They make
decisions and determine
their own destiny in life.
http://www.slideshare.net/BillPanopoulos

7. 7www.exploreHR.org
Accepting
responsibilities
involves taking risks
and being
accountable which is
sometimes
uncomfortable.
http://www.slideshare.net/BillPanopoulos

8. 8www.exploreHR.org
Most people would rather slay in their
comfort zone and live passive lives
without accepting responsibilities. They
drill through life waiting for things to
happen rather than making them
happen.

Responsible people don't
think that the world owes them
a living.

4. Hard Work
Excellence is not something
that you run into by
accident. It takes a lot of
preparation and character.
http://www.slideshare.net/BillPanopoulos

11. 11www.exploreHR.org
Everyone likes to win but
how many are willing to
put in the effort and lime
to prepare to win? It takes
sacrifice and self-discipline.

5. Positive Believing
Positive believing is a lot more
than positive thinking. It is having
a reason to believe that positive
thinking will work.

13. 13www.exploreHR.org
Positive believing is an attitude of
confidence that comes with
preparation. Having a positive
attitude without making the effort
is nothing more than having a
wishful dream.

14. 14www.exploreHR.org
Persistence means commitment
and determination. It is a
commitment to finish
what you start.

When we are exhausted,
quitting, looks good. But
winners endure. Ask a
winning athlete. He endures
pain and finishes what he
started. Lots of failures have
begun well but have not
concluded anything.
http://www.slideshare.net/BillPanopoulos

16. 16www.exploreHR.org
Persistence comes from
purpose. Life without
purpose is drifting.
A person who has no
purpose will never
persevere and will never
be fulfilled.http://www.slideshare.net/BillPanopoulos

7. Pride of Performance7. Pride of Performance
Excellence comes when the
performer takes pride in doing
his best.
http://www.slideshare.net/BillPanopoulos

18. 18www.exploreHR.org
Pride of performance does not represent
ego. It represents pleasure with humility.
The quality of the work and the quality and
the worker are inseparable. Half-hearted
effort does not produce half results; it
produces no results.

Every job is a self-portrait of the
person who does it, regardless of
what the job is, whether washing
cars, sweeping the floor or painting a
house. Pride comes from within, which
is what gives the winning edge.
