Alex Ikonn - Intelligent Change: How to Adopt The Mindset For Success

Ideas, Insight & Motivation

We’ve all had times when we felt stuck in a rut. Nothing our life was moving and we weren’t sure how to build up momentum and take steps toward the life we wanted. It can be a long road trying to find a way out of a rut, and many times we never succeed.

If you can identify, you’d benefit from the insights of Alex Ikonn. This mastermind is all about hacking your mindset and your productivity for a more fulfilling life.

Who Is Alex Ikonn?

Alex’s success started when he built a simple hair accessory company with his wife Mimi. The couple’s business sold hair extensions, accessories, and products to people around the world. As the company grew, so did Alex’s expertise in helping others replicate his success.

While the Ikonns eventually sold the company, it was only the beginning of their journey. Alex Ikonn has since become an expert in using your mindset to live your best life.

Along with that knowledge, Alex’s business Intelligent Change has produced books like The Five Minute Journal and Productivity Planner to help others take charge of their lives and make a change. Alex also shares his valuable insights on his popular YouTube channel as well as his podcast.

Alex Ikonn’s Insights for Success

What exactly is the knowledge Alex has to share? There are several principles and ideas he lives by, but they all come down to your mindset.

Taking Personal Responsibility

In Alex’s younger days, he happened upon an epiphany: you are in control. Each one of us is the top factor in determining where our lives go and how much we accomplish. This is the cornerstone of making intelligent change.

Understanding that personal responsibility and accountability is a powerful gateway, no matter what we want to accomplish in life. As Alex explains, it’s also the largest roadblock for people in starting their own businesses: struggling to hold themselves accountable.

Success Starts With Your Mindset

According to Alex, your life comes down to your mindset. The first step in accomplishing any goal is building and maintaining your determination to get it done.

In addition to strength of will, Alex emphasizes a mindset of gratitude and positivity. You can feel fulfilled in any circumstance by practising mindful gratitude.

Finding Your Own Meaning

Meaningfulness is another top concept in Alex’s philosophy. He emphasizes that success isn’t about having the most or being the most, but about feeling fulfilled in what you have. The cornerstone of that is finding meaning in your daily life.

Namely, Alex offers insight into two must-haves: meaningful work and meaningful relationships. No matter what you do, you need to find a way that it’s making the world a better place and focus on that big picture.

Delivering Value

While this is connected to the idea of meaningfulness in your life, it deserves a mention all its own. Alex Ikonn advises building meaning in your life by finding ways to deliver value as much as possible.

In other words, in every interaction or connection, ask yourself how you can bring value to the experience. It might be offering words of advice or encouragement, connecting two people who bring value to each other or simply bringing a smile to someone’s face.
