A short motivational talk (YouTube) about mindset and self-talk for sellers, using the Bill Buckner 1986 World Series anecdote to illustrate how subconscious thoughts and language influence outcomes. The speaker advises replacing anxiety-producing phrases with affirmative language like 'I will.'
Do you remember Bill Buckner? And why do you remember Bill Buckner? Because he let the ball through his legs to the mets. I believe 1986 World Series people might be saying, what the hell does it have to do with mindset? What the hell does it have to do with self talk? Well, 19 days before that, he got interviewed by a local Boston radio station and they asked him, how are you feeling? Like, how. Where's your mind at? How are you excited to be here? And he said, yeah, I am. This is a dream come true. I've always wanted to be in the World Series. I have this, this dream. I'm going to hit a home run to win the World Series. You know the nightmare I keep having those. I'm going to let a ground ball go to my legs. Lose a World Series. 19 days before. Now, is he a prophet? No. Did he predict future? No. But when it's in his subconscious and we put those things out there, weird, it happens. So I think as a seller, full circle, back when we started this conversation over, your mindset is so important. And removing words that create anxiety and replacing them instead with I will.
