I like this new show on TV called Cake Boss. It takes place in an Italian Bakery where we see how they make these amazing specialty cakes for weddings, charities, occasions etc. And, they are incredible!. Last night they made one for a children’s hospital and they had a big yellow cartoon style airplane perched on top of a slab of sky blue icing and a puffy cloud and it served 500 people. He made a stunning tiered wedding cake with cascading Cali lily’s for a bride and she hated it, and he made her another one which was also exquisite. I would have thrown it in her face!

And this brings us to the point of the article. This cake guy has an incredible mindset. He takes such pride in his work and it is his mission to make extraordinary cakes and make his customers happy no matter if its bridezilla, a charity cake on the house, or a rush job that he is insane to say yes to. In any scenario he comes to the table to play, and to win.

Successful people have a mindset that is continually moving them towards their goals. What is your mindset?
