We hear so much about mind set; about getting it and keeping it. But to avoid the pitfalls, do we know what kind of set we are?

The different kinds of set: Which kind of set are you?

My mind was set and I changed it: Un-set

I've done this before and decided to go for it again: Re-set

I've got to do all this training done so I really know what I'm doing: Get-set

I've bought every tool in the place. I can totally automate everything, and I don't even have to know how to use it: Tool-set

I'm just running, racing, flying to the finish line: Jet-set

I've determined my goal and will accomplish it. I will use all of my zeal and passion: Mind-set

So in these different kinds of sets, which kind of set are you?

The Un-setter: "My mind was set and I changed it."

The Un-setter is someone who has determined to accomplish a goal or task, and then changes his mind about it. It could be that his passion was not strong enough to meet that goal, or the expectations of the outcome were lowered. It could also be that the excitement of the goal carried him so far, and when he seen how much time, money, and work it was going to take his enthusiasm fizzled.

The Re-setter: "I've done this before and decided to go for it again."

The Re-setter is one step farther than the un-setter. He was the un-setter and now has decided to go for it again.

The Get-setter: "I've got all this training to do, so that I know what I'm really doing."

The Get-setter is the one who trains, studies, and educates himself to the point of learning it all, but never putting it into action.

The Tool-setter: "I've bought every tool in the place. I can totally automate everything, and I don't even have to know how to use it."

The Tool-setter is the person who buys all the tools to make sure that he's ready for everything. This person buys because he doesn't have an understanding of what specific tools are needed for the goal or task he is trying to accomplish. So he overbuys. I have to say that I've done a bit of this myself, as many of us do when we are learning.

The Jet-setter: "I'm just running, racing, flying to the finish line."

The Jet-setter is the person who has the will to go get it done, but wants to race through everything without totally understanding the concepts of the goal or task. They are determined to finish the race, one way or the other.

The Mind-setter: "I've determined my goal and will accomplish it. I will use all of my zeal and passion to bring it about."

The Mind-setter is the person who has made his plans and is determined to work hard with all of the passion and zeal within him. He will re-adjust as needed, and will take advice from those who know how to do it better. He will brain-storm or master-mind with others and will constantly try to foresee any obstacles that may arise. There is only one way to go with him and that's to the top. He will not stop until he gets there.
