If you want to cultivate your own growth mindset, start by learning from the best. Russell Brunson is now a successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, podcast host, and mentor. But when he first started out, he relied heavily on books.

He read everything he could get his hands on. This included books about marketing or business secrets, but the books that had the greatest impact on him and his success were those by authors such as Napoleon Hill and Charles Haanel, which really dive into the psychology of success.

The more he read, the more he came to understand that success in business is only 10% tactics and 90% psychology. If you want to be financially profitable, make an impact in the world, or simply find more joy in your life, it all comes down to your mind.

We want to give you all the resources that you need to master your psychology. Over the years Russell Brunson has read and collected hundreds of the best resources to read for a growth mindset. These books are all housed in the beautiful Atlas Library in Boise, Idaho, along with original manuscripts, magazines, first editions, and artifacts. All these resources are available to you when you join the Secrets of Success Mastermind.

Here is a sample of the growth mindset books you will learn from when you join the Secrets of Success Mastermind:

“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill

“Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they ‘arrive.’ The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their ‘other selves’.”

“Think and Grow Rich” is probably Napoleon Hill’s most well-known work, and for good reason. It was first published in 1937 and was the result of Hill interviewing dozens of the most successful leaders and businessmen of his time, including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Theodore Roosevelt.

In this book, Hill reveals the “secret” of success, which he calls the Law of Attraction. In essence, positive thoughts bring positive results into a person’s life, while negative thoughts attract negative outcomes. His ideas have been used successfully by generations of self-made millionaires.

A large part of what Hill teaches in “Think and Grow Rich” is that we have to be willing and able to accept opportunities when they present themselves in our lives. Many people miss opportunities for growth and success because they are disguised as setbacks or failures. In order to succeed, you have to persevere through temporary defeats.

Hill said, “That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often, it comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.”

“The Strangest Secret” by Earl Nightingale

“The only person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. He’s the person who says, ‘I’m going to become this,’ and then begins to work toward that goal.”

This book is actually a 44-page essay adapted from one of Earl Nightingale’s popular weekly motivational talks. The secret that Nightingale wants to share is that “you are now, and you do become, what you think about.”

The human mind is the last, great, unexplored continent. If we can unlock the potential of our minds, we have the power to accomplish anything we desire. We must focus on a worthwhile goal and then put all our energy into pursuing that goal. Picture your goal in a relaxed, positive way. Picture having already achieved your goal. Don’t tolerate negative thoughts because they will bring negative results into your life. When you have a negative thought, replace it with a positive vision of your goal.

It is easier for the human brain to focus on the bad things–on our fears and failures–which is why only 5% of people are ever really successful. However, if you have the discipline to control your thinking, it will lead you to a life of success, wealth, and happiness.

“The Power of Purpose” by Richard J. Leider

“People with a sense of purpose have learned to let life question them and have moved the focus of their attention and concern away from themselves to others. Purpose, then, is not a job or a role or a goal. It is the belief that our lives, our part in the whole of things, truly matter. Having a profound sense of who we are, where we came from, and where we’re going, we choose to believe that mattering matters. It is thus a mindset—a choice.”

Richard Leider is ranked by Forbes as one of the top five most influential executive coaches. In this bestselling classic, he gives you the tools for unlocking meaning and fulfillment. It isn’t enough to just be successful if you are not guided by a greater purpose in life. Part of a growth mindset is not just overcoming obstacles and failures but connecting everything you do to that purpose, which is your reason for getting up every morning. A sense of purpose is what drives us to keep going when others give up. It is what ultimately drives us to achieve our goals.

Leider warns that too many of us are “getting ready to live” instead of relentlessly pursuing our lives now. When we are 65 or 75, will we look back at our lives and realize that we have run out of time?

The key to avoiding regret is to find and connect with your purpose today. You can do this by regularly asking yourself the questions that define your purpose and will, therefore, define your life. Ask, “Who am I?” and “What am I meant to do here?” You can write out a purpose statement by starting with this phrase: “The reason I get up in the morning is to…”
