Description
In Intentional Mindset, LearnToLead founder Dave Anderson shows you how to purposefully develop both killer instinct and mental toughness by cultivating and strengthening ten specific traits.
The author of 15 books and host of the popular podcast The Game Changer Life, Dave's guidance has impacted readers and listeners in more than 145 countries. Now, he shares a unique blueprint for developing the mindset you need to succeed, presenting foundational strategies for intentionally developing and strengthening what he calls the ACCREDITED traits: attitude, competitiveness, character, rigor, effort, discipline, intelligence, tenacity, energy, and drive.
Throughout the book, readers will follow the progress of three "case studies." The frustrations, progress, and victories of "Fred," "Frank," and "Frances" will replace the sterile or academic approach so common in personal development books with a more readable, personal, and actionable experience. What's more, Anderson provides an optional 70-day follow-up course to integrate the book's lessons into one's daily routine and accelerate results. All materials for this course, including a downloadable workbook and 70 supporting videos—one for each day—are provided at no cost at LearnToLead.com.
Intentional Mindset is a true game changer—a book that gives you the tools to shape your future by shaping your mind.

Advance Praise
“Having played in the NBA for many years, I know a killer instinct when I see one. You can almost sense it. Dave not only has a killer instinct himself but he’s great at teaching you the principles to find yours, too. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to better themselves and develop a true killer instinct and mental toughness.”
—Meyers Leonard, NBA’s Miami Heat
“At first glance, it’s easy to find Dave’s characters, Frances, Frank or Fred, in those we work with. But in typical Dave fashion, as he carries us along, we begin to find morsels of ourselves in each of them. That’s when we begin to learn.”
—Troy Tomlinson, CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group, Nashville
“I’ve seen firsthand the results that come from being absolutely captivated by the mentality of mental toughness and destroying the excuses of adversity that Dave Anderson teaches and lives. Dave puts you front and center inside these pages to gain the tools and attitude you need to lead a life and profession that embraces challenges and knocks out fear and doubts.”
—Tom Crean, head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs
“The knowledge shared by Dave Anderson in this book shows you how to put this plan together to make it a part of your activities each day. It offers a healthy way to self-evaluate one’s actions in success and failure to work toward continuous improvement in all the things that we deem important in our lives. It also shows how to develop better mental toughness and killer instinct by focusing one’s attitude as to how to engage with events that work against them.”
—Brad Bartlett, president of Dole Packaged Foods
“Dave’s grasp on developing lifelong leadership qualities is outstanding. He brings a real-world honest approach to combating instant gratification leadership in all facets of life. This book will not only equip the leaders of tomorrow but will also help those in leadership positions today strengthen and solidify their mental toughness and killer instinct.”
—Jason Loscalzo, head strength and conditioning coach for the Chicago Bears
“The world is changing. Don’t get left behind. Develop the killer instinct that is inside you and this book has a road map showing you exactly how to do so. Thank you, Dave, this is another must-read for those looking to WIN.”
—Shawn Meaike, president of Family First Life Insurance Company

Whoa! I am totally blown away with this book! I’ve has mindset in my mind as a lot recently as I have a skincare business with the #1 skincare brand in America. I’ve been reading books and listening to podcasts too become a better business owner in these social media times. This book, Intentional Mindset by Anderson, is exactly what I needed!
This book is great because it gives an acronym of ACCREDITED with a train for each letter. A chapter for each train containing seven ways to be successful with the trait. There’s even a story of three salespeople and their different mindsets. I love the addition to Fred, Frank, and Frances and some examples of how they make excuses or simply step it up.
The 2019-2020 season of the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team is slowly shared, one chapter at a time. The addition of the team dynamics helps solidify the lessons learned in each chapter.
I appreciate NetGalley and BenBella Books for this life changing book on release day! Consultations! I give Intentional Mindset by Dave Anderson 5 out of 5 tiaras because of all the great nuggets included among the stories and fantastic tips! The end of the book includes some hints as to how to focus on these traits over 70-days. I’ll be ordering myself a hard cover of this book for sure!

Synopsis:
This is about finding your WHY and sticking to your goals to better yourself. How you should focus on your own achievements to increase your goals and not what others do. There is a wealth of information here on how to prioritize and keep going even on the hard days. Remembering that one day does not always determine whether you had a successful day or not due to so many factors.
It is told with the use of three employees that are different in their approach to work. There are also references to the Badgers which will appeal to sports fans as well.
Dave also has a podcast called The Game Changer Life that you can check out. He has also written several other business books as well. He has worked at a Fortune 50 company and was a leading sales person. He has also written many articles. If you would like to learn more about the author you can find that here.
Review:
Staying motivated for many is a struggle which is why this book is a must read. This is a guide to help you measure your successes and failures against yourself and your own accomplishments instead of others and not rely on others for affirmations of a job well done. This is such a great book. There are also resources that the book suggests that can help you more and expand on what you learn within the book.
It is definitely a book to reread for me. I will be going back over this and trying to stay on track with this one. I loved that it focuses on you and what you can do and not on others and how your everyday choices can make a huge difference in your success.
While this does cover three different employees, it also has a lot of references to the Badgers. I am not a big sports fan so I was not extremely interested in those parts but the rest of this book was very good.
If you have career goals this book is definitely a motivational and inspiring book just on the surface but if you really take the time to follow this guide you will likely achieve so much more and isn’t that the point? So order yours today!
