Napoleon Hill was right when he said, "There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought." That quote brings to mind what Henry Ford also said "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right." Your mind is as good as the limitations you place on it. Your current mindset is responsible for the person you are today, however, very often you can be unaware of the mindset you have.

Set small goals each day and week to achieve them. There is a power to breaking things down, and to working towards them little by little vs getting overcome by the idea of the completed goal you want. Realise it's possible, instead of telling yourself why you can't. Become aware of your self-talk. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Use the skills you already have. Focus on your strengths, build upon it and improve with time.

Pay attention to your self talk and consider making changes if necessary. This is the "can-do" talk that may have a positive effect if you open yourself up to it. It might be worth a try when you consider steps for changing your mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort.
