Great article Mike. Since the beginning of time man has thought the ‘tool’ was the magic answer to any question. A good tool only make the job easier. It is the internal mindset, as you note, that creates the action. A farmer, for example, may have a great plow; but if the farmer doesn’t want to plow the field it will never get done.
Placing the emphasis on yourself, not the tool or system is great advice.
I am a corporate trainer in the real estate industry and people consistently ask me for the ‘silver bullet’ solution. They seek a tool or system that will magically take them to their desired outcome. There never has been such a thing, in my opinion. It all comes down to the person themselves. And then, as you wrote, that can be summed up in those two words: Caring and Faith.
I might have to borrow that for my next class.
