Making Over Your Mindset

21 September 2012 | Janet Sernack | No Comments

The best place to start a ‘mind makeover’ is to take time to stop and reflect upon the results you are currently achieving personally and professionally in your life.

Then ask yourself three very challenging questions and reflect on the answers that emerge:

  1. What are the key professional and personal results I want to HAVE in my life?

    • How can I accurately describe them as specific and compelling outcomes that meet my physical, emotional, material and spiritual needs?
  2. To manifest these results in my life, who am I willing to BE?

    • What are my most dominant emotional states, how useful are they in supporting me to HAVE what I want?
    • What emotional states, for example, joy, passion, excitement, enthusiasm or inclusion might support me more to HAVE what I want, and how could I develop and embody more of them?
    • How open is my mindset, do I have a fixed or a growth mindset, how is this impacting on my current results?
    • What are some of the more useful mindsets that I could develop, for example, achieving, collaborative, innovative or entrepreneurial that might support me more to HAVE what I want?
    • How could I develop and practice more of them?
    • How lucky am I, am I manifesting my own luck or do things just ‘happen to me’?
  3. To make over my mind, what exactly will I do?

    • What are some of the key action steps I can take to define my personal and professional goals?
    • What actions can I take to develop my choice of be-ing states and new mindsets?

Why is this Important?

Why take the time to do this? It’s very simple:

Your moods and mindsets drive your behaviours and your actions, which then create the results you get.

Most of the time are not conscious of this cycle and operate mostly in auto-pilot mode. Or many of us try and force what we want to happen, which is sometimes, equally frustrating!

By being intentional about the results you want to HAVE, and by choosing who you are willing to BE, then the DO is easy, as usually RIGHT ACTIONS flow.

So making over your mind might be the best possible strategy to undertake to deliver the results you want!

Extending beyond fashion, Napoleon's support and passion for the arts has been realised through his sponsorships of The Australian Ballet as well as the AACTA's, Astra Awards, Sydney Film Festival.

Napoleon Perdis: The Brand Builder

In 2008, and one of the first international makeup artists to be involved in the Designers for Target program in the US, Napoleon Perdis created NP Set, a colour cosmetic offering for the masstige market.

NP Set launched soon after in Australia where the easy-to-use, multi-purpose products at very accessible price points were fast a winner with the savvy Australian consumer. In April 2012, Napoleon took the NP Set brand (and his famed expertise and knowledge) to the television screens of up to 7 million Australians via TVSN. With the identification of the evolution of omni-channel retail combined with his experience on the US powerhouse home shopping network, QVC, home shopping networks were a natural next step for the brand and the man. In May 2012 Napoleon opened his first Napoleon Perdis Life.style store in Sydney's Woollahra, restoring the iconic Post Office. Representing the next visionary step of the Napoleon Perdis brand, Life.Style was borne out of Napoleon's passion for art, fashion, design and all things beautiful. Housing an eclectic mix of international men's and women's accessories, jewellery, art and homewares that sit beside the Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics range as well as a carefully curated selection of vintage items.

Napoleon Perdis: The Innovator

The Napoleon Perdis cosmetic range is innovative, award-winning, and wearable. His lauded Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer has been prepping and perfecting complexions for over 10 years. While Napoleon was not the first to ride the mineral makeup trend, he patiently waited until he was most satisfied with the innovation level and formulation before offering mineral makeup to his customer. The introduction of two Mattifying Lip Palettes to the lip stable have been acknowledged as industry changers by Shop Til You Drop magazine, who recently awarded the Double Agent Nude a 'Shop Genius Award'. The brand's latest skinnovation comes in the form of The One. A one shade wonder concealer and a sales success story! Sometimes an upgrade is as important as innovation. In the past 12 months, the brand has continued to see the upgrade of many of its original and core products to new luxe gold packaging. For NP Set, the multi-use products are as innovative as they are environmentally friendly. Ingredients are key to the NP Set range which boast the latest and greatest ingredients with organic benefits, are 98% paraben free, in recyclable packaging.
