The Be Do Have mindset is one of the simplest and most transformative leadership principles you can apply in business and in life. Made famous by thinkers like Zig Ziglar, the Be Do Have model teaches a powerful truth: you must becomethe person who is capable of achieving the result, long before the result shows up.


This mindset has shaped every stage of my journey, including my 15 years working alongside Rachel and Shane Krider. And it continues to be a guiding principle for the leaders inside Prosperity Of Life today.


Let me take you behind the scenes of what the Be Do Have principle has looked like in real time.


When you are working on who you are becoming, personal development plays a significant role. If you want to explore this further, you may enjoy this article on why personal development is so important.

What the Be Do Have Mindset Really Means

We live in a world of instant gratification. Answers at our fingertips. Cars at our door in minutes. Food, information, entertainment, and solutions delivered faster than ever before. But real change, real leadership growth, and real results still require a different rhythm.


The Be Do Have mindset reminds us that success doesn’t begin when we have the result. It begins when we decide who we are becoming.


You have to be the leaderbefore you can do the actionsthat allow you to have the results.

It sounds simple, but in practice, it asks us to step into a new identity before our external world has caught up.


How the Be Do Have Model Shaped My Leadership

I remember the moment I truly saw myself as one of “those people” who could achieve genuine success in the online business world. It wasn’t about luck or talent. The leaders I admired simply had a list of actions they had completed, a mindset they had strengthened, and a decision they had made about who they were becoming.


So I wrote my own Leadership List.


It included the things that intimidated me, the areas where I felt inexperienced, and the actions I believed successful people took.


At the time, these were the tasks that stretched me the most:

  • Running Q&A calls

  • Placing ads on platforms I had never used

  • Staying consistent with my daily action plan

  • Taking introductions on training calls

  • Co-hosting leadership trainings

  • Training new team members

  • Banking large paydays

  • Advancing to the M8 level

  • Walking confidently into leadership events


Every single one of these things felt “too big” when I started. And every single one became easier as I grew into the person who could handle them.


The list was my Do.


But the real transformation began with the Be.


Before I had the results, I made decisions as if I already was the successful leader I aspired to become. Not fake it till you make it — but think from the identity you are stepping into, not the one you are leaving behind.


When my belief wavered, I leaned on the belief of others. My enroller saw something in me before I saw it in myself, and for a while, I borrowed that belief until I built my own.


This is the essence of the Be Do Have principle.It is not a list. It is a transformation.


The Be Do Have mindset aligns strongly with the principles behind the Law of Attraction, which explains how your thoughts, energy, and focus influence the results you create.

Leadership Is Bigger Than Us


A conversation with Bruce Partridge recently highlighted something we both recognised. Leadership — and this business — is much bigger than us as individuals. Yes, we start with our own goals, but true leadership begins when we shift our focus outward.


Bruce’s motto is simple: be of service.


“People follow strong leaders. Leaders with an unwavering voice. An authentic message and a focus on gifting that message to those who need and choose to hear it. I didn’t strive to be a leader. That comes naturally to those who share the right heartfelt message in a consistent way.”

This is leadership in action. And it aligns perfectly with the Be Do Have mindset.

The Be Do Have Principle and the Reality of Leadership


Lise Reitsma said something years ago that has stayed with me:


“Leadership is not glamorous.”

And she is right.


Leadership includes the highlight moments — yacht days, global retreats, private islands, safari nights, and experiences most people only dream about. We get to enjoy those. But they are not the reason we step up.


We lead because we want to help others rise. We create success so we can help others create success. We take responsibility because others are looking to us for direction.


It is not about glamour. It is about growth.


If you have ever battled doubt or overthinking, you may resonate with this read on living rent free in your head and how to move past those patterns.

Applying the Be Do Have Mindset Today

Leadership is available to anyone who wants to step into it.


It starts with:

  • Deciding who you want to be

  • Taking the actions that align with that identity

  • Allowing yourself to have the results that follow


Write your own leadership list.Start ticking things off. Move as the person you are becoming. Not the person you used to be.


You absolutely deserve the success, the leadership moments, and the transformation that come with it.
