In this episode of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley and Lon Graham dive into the critical role of mindset in business success. They break down the five pillars of growth—mindset, sales, marketing, operations, and people—and emphasize how each contributes to long-term achievement.

The conversation explores chronotypes and how understanding your natural productivity rhythms can improve efficiency. Rather than following generic advice, Cory and Lon encourage listeners to build personalized routines that align with their energy levels.

They also discuss mental nutrition—the importance of filtering out negativity and replacing it with positive inputs that drive success. A key theme is future-self thinking—making decisions today as if you’ve already reached your goals.

Additionally, the episode highlights the power of focus, explaining that dwelling on problems only creates more problems, while focusing on possibilities leads to solutions. They share insights on how negative influences can hinder team performance, citing research showing that a single toxic individual can reduce a group’s productivity by 40%.

The takeaway? Surround yourself with growth-minded individuals and aim for progress over perfection—because striving for excellence is more valuable than chasing unattainable perfection.
