Mindset (the WHAT): deeply held beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions we create about who we are, how the world works, what we are capable of and deserve, and what is possible.

Method (the HOW): a specific process for accomplishing something, especially an orderly, logical, or systematic way of instruction.
