Being physically able: The body and mind are connected. You get one body it needs the constant attention. Treat it right and you’ll be able to perform longer than most. 3. Problem-solving using analytical mindset: Do you look at problems in 2D or 3D? A slight change to your mindset can help you solve problems in 3 dimensions. Seeing through “the fog” allows you to see a problem clearly. Clear out the emotion then solve the problem. 4. Mindset F3: Using a system to help you solve any problem. Find, Fix and Finish has been used in the most dynamic of situations. Find the problem, fix with a solution, finish with the action. 5.
