Overcoming Victim Mentality with Nick Santonastasso - Jordan Belfort Wolf’s Den Podcast #12

<p>Nick is a true inspiration who will make you completely rethink the way you complain about problems in your own life. He had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to LA and appear on a TV show, but the project fell through and he was forced to survive on peanut butter for six months, because he didn’t want to return home and be considered a failure in his parents’ eyes.</p><p>Nick teaches us that we are all born with natural confidence -- you just need to dig down deep inside yourself and bring out the special skill(s) that each of us possess.</p><p>His parents were an early positive influence in his life. Rather than putting a spotlight on his syndrome and making a big deal out of it, they went the complete opposite route and just treated him just like any other kid. They let him experience real-life struggles on his own, as they explained to him that the world wasn’t going to adapt to his needs.</p><p>Nick heeded this advice and made the decision to adapt to the world instead, which helped him develop his problem-solving muscles. He had no choice but to find his own unique solutions to overcome the obstacles he encountered, and that’s exactly what he did. He views himself as a unicorn with super powers, and believes everyone else should view themselves in this fashion as well. Nick is a one-of-a-kind individual with an attitude, and a mindset, that is truly remarkable. By the time you finish listening to this podcast, you will have a whole new outlook on life.</p>
