Overcoming Victim Mentality with Nick Santonastasso - Jordan Belfort Wolf’s Den Podcast #12

Nick is a true inspiration who will make you completely rethink the way you complain about problems in your own life. He had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to LA and appear on a TV show, but the project fell through and he was forced to survive on peanut butter for six months, because he didn’t want to return home and be considered a failure in his parents’ eyes.

Nick teaches us that we are all born with natural confidence -- you just need to dig down deep inside yourself and bring out the special skill(s) that each of us possess.

His parents were an early positive influence in his life. Rather than putting a spotlight on his syndrome and making a big deal out of it, they went the complete opposite route and just treated him just like any other kid. They let him experience real-life struggles on his own, as they explained to him that the world wasn’t going to adapt to his needs.

Nick heeded this advice and made the decision to adapt to the world instead, which helped him develop his problem-solving muscles. He had no choice but to find his own unique solutions to overcome the obstacles he encountered, and that’s exactly what he did. He views himself as a unicorn with super powers, and believes everyone else should view themselves in this fashion as well. Nick is a one-of-a-kind individual with an attitude, and a mindset, that is truly remarkable. By the time you finish listening to this podcast, you will have a whole new outlook on life.
