Mindset. Belief. Action.

In this powerful solo episode of The Growth Mindset Podcast, hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle dive into one of the most important drivers of success — belief.

If you can believe it… you can achieve it. Sounds simple, right? But belief isn’t just positive thinking. It’s the foundation for taking action, pushing through setbacks, and staying focused when things get tough.

In this episode, Adam and Rick share:

• 💡 Why belief is the starting point for growth
• 🧠 How mindset directly impacts success in business, real estate, and life
• 🚀 Real-world stories from the mortgage and real estate trenches
• 🏡 How belief helps first-time buyers, investors, and professionals move forward with confidence

Whether you’re buying your first home, growing a real estate business, or leveling up personally, this episode will challenge you to think bigger, act bolder, and trust the process.

Sometimes the only thing standing between where you are and where you want to be… is believing it’s possible.
