The Mindset of Success
by Alex Banayan
The Third Door: The Mindset of Success is all about the idea that there is always a way to your desired outcome. The front door is how everyone tries to get in. The side door is how the VIPs, family, and friends get in. But the third door – that’s how the determined ones get in. Banayan shares his journey of writing this book and getting interviews with household names like Lady Gaga, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates, all while learning life lessons of his own along the way. This is a great book for business, but also for networking and understanding the impact that your network can have on the opportunities that you will come across in life. Think outside the box. Go through the third door.
“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”
“Luck is like a bus. If you miss one, there’s always the next one. But if you’re not prepared, you won’t be able to jump on.”
“Big decisions are rarely clear when you’re making them—they’re only clear looking back.”
