Reshape Your Mindset, Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs & Unlock Your Full Potential

By CoachFoss (Michael Foss)

We all hit walls.

Sometimes it’s performance.
Sometimes it’s motivation.
But most often… it’s mindset.

You can have talent, ambition, and opportunity - but if your belief system is wired for doubt, fear, or “I’m not enough,” you’ll stay stuck.

The good news?

Your mindset is not permanent.
You can reshape it.
You can reclaim your power.
And you can create a new story that drives real, lasting results.

 
 

🔓 Unlocking Your Full Potential Starts With One Decision

In my workshop - built from years of coaching leaders, students, and high-performers - we walk through a powerful framework to help you:

✅ Identify the limiting beliefs that are silently holding you back
✅ Replace them with truth and action-oriented thought patterns
✅ Reclaim ownership of your story, your worth, and your future
✅ Learn the formula: Belief → Thought → Emotion → Action → Result
✅ Practice self-coaching tools to fuel positive habits, confidence, and results 

 
 

🧠 What Are Limiting Beliefs?

They sound like this:

  • “I’m not good enough.”

  • “I don’t have what it takes.”

  • “I’ve already tried everything.”

  • “People like me don’t succeed.”

  • “That’s just the way I’ve always been.” 

The truth is — these are not facts.
They’re stories.
And stories can be rewritten.

🔥 What You’ll Experience in the Workshop

This is not just motivational talk.
You’ll get tactical tools and a repeatable mindset framework, including:

 

🛠 Exercises to reframe internal dialogue
🛠 Self-awareness strategies that build intentional growth
🛠 Positive self-talk language patterns that reset your identity
🛠 Real-world examples from my personal coaching experiences
🛠 A clear action plan for mindset transformation in life and leadership

 
Your expectations create the ceiling for your results.
— Weldon Long

📣 This Workshop Is For You If:

  • You’re ready to level up in your personal or professional life

  • You know you’ve been holding back because of self-doubt

  • You want practical ways to show up more intentionally

  • You want to become the leader, partner, or creator you know you’re capable of being

🔁 Transform. Grow. Lead.

This workshop isn’t about hype.
It’s about rewiring the way you think so you can finally become the person you were meant to be.

It’s time to move from where you are…
to where you want to be.

Why Continuous Improvement (KAIZEN) and Lean Six Sigma are still KING!

“We can't solve our problems with the same thinking that created them”

~Albert Einstein

  • Do you have challenges with hiring great people?

  • Do you have difficulty with staff performing to expectation?

  • Do you struggle to achieve high levels of quality consistently?

  • Are you performing >99% and do you think that is good enough?

  • Do you encounter unknown variance in your product or service performance?

  • Are your customers <100% satisfied?

  • Do you know where your defects come from?

  • Are you aware of all the costs of your defects?

  • Are you excelling in your financial goals?

  • Are you able to offer the lowest prices to your clients, pay top dollar to your staff, and still make profit?

  • Are you tired of throwing money, resources, and assets, at symptoms that never seem to truly fix the problem?

I have THE proven solution!

“The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we don’t recognize.”

~Shigeo Shingo, the world’s leading expert on manufacturing practices and the Toyota Production System.

If you are not where you want to be in any of the following areas, I have THE proven solution!

  • People

  • Quality

  • Customer Service / Experience

  • Efficiency

  • Productivity

  • Profit

As an Industrial and Systems Engineer with a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and having deep and extensive experience over the past 25+ years leading continuous improvement divisions in some of the most complex operating environments, I can share without a doubt the #1 key to achieving operational excellence is through a sound, solid, and committed approach to continuous improvement (KAIZEN) with Lean Six Sigma tools.

What is Continuous Improvement (KAIZEN)?

The Japanese word “KAIZEN” means change (KAI) to become good (ZEN) and is recognized worldwide as an integral pillar of an organization’s long term competitive strategy towards operational excellence. Companies in all sectors and industries are excelling using these tools and approach.

Continuous Improvement is built on small changes sustained over time for big results and is most successful based on these guiding principles:

  1. Full leadership buy-in

  2. Good practices bring good results (You will reap what you sow! Always!)

  3. Take action to contain and correct root causes of problems

  4. Speak with data, manage by facts

  5. Work as a team

  6. Unleash the power of consistency

  7. Implement changes with systems and mechanisms for sustained improvement

  8. Full ownership

“Where there is no standard, there can be no improvement.”

~Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer, considered to be the father of the Toyota Production System.

I have had the most amazing pleasure to work with some of the very best in the continuous improvement business and lead some of the biggest global improvement projects in large and small companies like FedEx, Cameron International, and Amazon.

Many companies today are looking for the “silver bullet” to drive the next major innovation or industry disruptive change that will send shockwaves throughout the industry sector. While the silver bullet eludes most, the secret to sustained improvement may also unlock a major leap forward in your business and industry. Lean Six Sigma tools continue to be the most complete and rewarding approach for continuous improvement (Kaizen), yielding amazing results over time.

Example: Through a weeklong Kaizen event, by improving safety performance in the trailer yard within Amazon Sort Centers, the Kaizen team unlocked opportunities to improve dock door utilization with technology that scaled to all global locations in both the middle mile and first mile. This resulted in significant improvements in safety, efficiency, productivity, and capacity utilization across the entire company and the team won the innovation of the year award!

“There is no elevator to success… you have to take the stairs.”

~Zig Ziglar

 

 The right approach combined with excellent leadership and enthusiasm is key to long-term success. There is nothing that can stop a team from success when they are hungry, driven, enthusiastic, possess a CAN-DO attitude, and are properly equipped to meet the challenge.

"You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win."

~ Zig Ziglar

Start your journey towards SUSTAINED SUCCESS with the continuous improvement fundamentals training. We also have partnered with Adonis Partners to certify you and your team in the belts of Lean Six Sigma. Engage with our team in a full week Kaizen event and see the power of continues improvement!

“Potential is one of the most powerful words in any language. It looks forward with optimism, it heralds hope. It implies possibilities and it unveils greatness. And to reach your potential, you must grow.”

~John C. Maxwell

The MINDSET to be Your Very BEST!
 
CoachFoss BLOG Michael Foss 2 The Mindset to be Your Very Best Arnold Schwarzenegger Bo Eason
 

Do you want to be your very best?

Do you want to take control of your life, regardless of external circumstances, and live up to your full potential?

Do you want to release the full maximum level of greatness that is already within you?

I sure do! I want there to be NO GAP between the man I am intentionally becoming and the man I God created me to be.

This is a story that is worth repeating. Stories are what we tell ourselves and eventually become. And your story comes from your mindset, your belief system.

And it is a choice!

To be the best, you must choose the right mindset!

A success mindset.

A mindset of growth, positivity, and forward thinking.

 
CoachFoss BLOG Michael Foss 1 The Mindset to be Your Very Best Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

In a recent presentation, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his key mindset of full commitment that led to his tremendous success in achieving his big goals.

Arnold shared:

“I hate Plan B!”

Everything he ever did, the thing he heard out of everyone’s mouth was: ‘that’s impossible, that can’t be done, and no.’

Arnold continued:

“We have so many doubters and naysayers. And when you doubt yourself, that is very dangerous, because now what you’re basically saying that if my plan does not work, I have a fall-back plan. I have a Plan B.”

And when you have a Plan B, it takes thought, energy, drive, and tenacity, away from your Plan A.

When people said to Arnold, he changed it in his mind to:

It can’t be done => It CAN be done

No => YES

It’s impossible => It IS possible

Arnold never had a Plan B. He made a full commitment toward his goals and went all in.

  • To be a bodybuilding champion

  • To get into show business and be leading man

  • To be governor of California

 

NO PLAN B!

Bo Eason

 

I recently read Bo Eason’s book “There’s no Plan B for your A-game”. In this book, Bo explains how to develop the character, integrity, and commitment it takes to become the best.

Bo’s four step process to attain skill, maintain effort, and persist through challenges covers four key mindsets needed to become the best!

  1. Declaration

  2. Preparation

  3. Acceleration

  4. Domination

Bo says when you make your declaration to be your best, you have to adapt the mindset towards your declaration, in effect, change the way you think about your own identity. This requires your mindset to be intimate and profound with your future best self.

I highly recommend Bo’s book!

It all comes down to your mindset!

Start by asking yourself, what does your life look like with you at your very best?

What does your greatness look like with you at your best?

Dream big and be audacious! Begin to envision a life at your very best. See it. Feel it. Believe it. Replace the old thought pattern with where you now see yourself at your very best!

It’s time to think differently about yourself and your future. Now is the time!

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
— George Bernard Shaw
