There is a universe of difference between the statements "I can't do it." and "I can't do it...yet." The different mindsets behind those two phrases are the topic of today's show and the work of our guest today, Dr. Eve Meceda.

She is an expert in helping shift people and organizations from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. As we'll learn today more than half the battle is identifying that mindset within ourselves and how it affects our handling of daily obstacles. 

This is an issue we all face within ourselves but also something we encounter in daily sales interactions. Gina, Rachel and Keith all share examples of dealing with fixed mindset prospects, family members and critics. Dr. Eve breaks down these common situations and gives you solutions to deal with that next pesky prospect.
