Are you looking for some tips on changing your mindset for the better? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews John Kormanik, a former trial attorney turned coach, about his journey overcoming limiting beliefs and the power of mindset. 

Tyson and John talk about the importance of mindset shifts when it comes to growth and success. For John, this involved thinking about how lucky he was to do certain things and to have a choice in the life he is living. This really shifted his relationships with his family as well as how he viewed himself. Mindset shifts are important for growth and success. Having a negative mindset can affect how your life moves forward. If you want to grow and succeed, you have to have the mindset necessary to reach that.

John shares his insights on self-criticism and the effect it can have on people. Being self-critical and hard on yourself can really affect your mental health. The key is to show up and do the work for yourself. Attorneys in particular are risk averse and learn not to take the leap and keep things safe. Because of this, many are self-critical and don't think they are good enough. To get over this, it is important to think about what will happen if you fail and if you don’t. Think about what the worst case scenario is and if it really will impact you in the long run. Most times, things are not as bad as you think, so letting things go a little bit can really save you from yourself.
