The Mindset Reset Course — Resetting How You Think About Failure

By Marques Ogden · Founder, Book Marques Ogden · June 2026

The short answer: The Mindset Reset is a 10-week Ogden Academy course in the Mindset track. Designed for sales reps, operators, and leaders coming back from a setback — a missed quarter, a lost deal, a business failure — and trying to rebuild belief without losing months. The course is taught in Marques Ogden's voice, built around frameworks Marques used to come back from a public bankruptcy, and structured as daily disciplines, not motivational reading. Every lesson is 1,000–1,200 words, with framework diagrams, application questions, and a logged daily rep.

Who this course is for

You're somewhere in this list:

• A sales rep who's coming off a missed quarter and the doubt is louder than the pipeline.
• An operator who lost a deal that mattered and is having trouble going at the next one with the same intensity.
• A leader whose team just took a hit and is trying to lead the comeback without faking the energy.
• A person who has been knocked down by something significant outside of work — and is trying to bring the recovery into how they show up at work.

If you're closer to "I need motivation" than "I need a framework," the course will feel direct. Marques teaches mindset as discipline, not as inspiration. The reps in this course are real reps, logged, and accountable.

What "mindset reset" actually means

"Mindset reset" is not a vibe shift. It's a reorganization of how you respond to setbacks at the level of daily action. The reset has three components, and each one gets its own phase of the course:

1. Reset the inner story. What you tell yourself about what happened — what it means, what it predicts, what it says about you — is the first thing the comeback rewrites. Course Phase 1 (weeks 1–3) walks the framework for examining the inner story, finding the parts that aren't true, and replacing them with what's actually supported by evidence.
2. Reset the daily disciplines. The new mindset gets built by the boring reps you put in for it. Course Phase 2 (weeks 4–7) installs the daily-discipline framework — the micro-promise, the uncomfortable rep, the logged result. Same framework Marques used to come back from $8.25 an hour to a 7-figure speaking practice.
3. Reset the public narrative. At some point in the recovery, you have to talk about what happened — to a team, to a market, to yourself. Course Phase 3 (weeks 8–10) covers when to talk about the setback, how to frame it, and how to move it from definition to data point.

Three phases, ten weeks, ~70 daily lessons. The course is sequenced. You can't skip the discipline phase to get to the narrative phase. The order is the work.

The framework Marques teaches

The signature framework in The Mindset Reset is what Marques calls the Comeback Stack — the daily three-rep unit that rebuilt his confidence after a public bankruptcy and that he now teaches to corporate audiences. The Stack:

• Layer 1: One micro-promise to yourself, kept. Small enough that there's no excuse to miss it.
• Layer 2: One uncomfortable rep, completed. Something the old version of you avoided.
• Layer 3: One observable result, logged. Three lines: date, action, outcome.

The course teaches the Stack across the ten weeks, starting with one rep per day in Week 1 and building to a full three-layer stack by Week 8. By Week 10 the Stack is automatic; the course graduates you with a logged 70-day record and a framework you can run independently.

This is the same framework that's the through-line in Marques' keynotes for Fortune 500 audiences — but inside the course, you're not watching it; you're running it.

What the course actually contains

• 70 lessons (one per day, 1,000–1,200 words each) across 10 weeks
• 3 framework diagrams per major phase, drawn in the Ogden Academy lesson template — the Inner Story Map, the Comeback Stack, the Narrative Pivot
• 3 application questions per lesson — focused, no multiple choice, designed for real reflection
• 2–5 book and podcast citations per lesson — for the learner who wants to go deeper, with primary sources
• A logged daily rep tracker — built into the platform; the receipt your brain needs the next time it tries to claim you can't
• A live cohort option — for teams running the course together, with weekly group calls and a peer-accountability layer

How this fits with the rest of Ogden Academy

The Mindset Reset is one of seven tracks at Ogden Academy. The seven tracks are: Sales, Mindset, Execution, Leadership, Value Architecture, Communication, and Personal Pivot. The Mindset track currently includes:

• The Mindset Reset (this course) — the foundation course in the track
• Confidence Reps — the standalone framework on rebuilding confidence after failure (the Comeback Stack, deeper)
• The Discipline Layer — daily discipline as comeback engine
• The Inner Story — the cognitive framework piece, expanded

Most learners take The Mindset Reset first. Sales teams pair it with the Championship Sales Framework in the Sales track. Leaders pair it with Leadership Under Pressure in the Leadership track. Corporate teams typically run the full Mindset track over a quarter as a cohort.

Why corporate L&D is bringing teams to this

The Mindset Reset is one of the courses corporate L&D leaders ask for by name when bringing teams to Ogden Academy. The reason: it's the rare course in the resilience category that's structured as a 10-week curriculum with daily disciplines and progressive skill-building, rather than a one-off motivational session. Teams can run it as a quarterly cohort. Reflective questions and daily reps make it actually accountable. The Marques voice — direct, peer-level, framework-heavy, no fluff — fits the corporate-team learning environment.

The cohort option includes weekly group calls and a peer-accountability layer, which corporate teams have asked for explicitly. The Mindset Reset is being run inside three Fortune 500 sales orgs as of 2026.

What learners say (early cohorts)

Course content was developed using the same Marques-voice template applied across all 943 lessons in development at Ogden Academy. Early-cohort learners report two patterns we expected and one we didn't:

• Expected: the Comeback Stack felt mechanical at first and became the part they kept after the course ended.
• Expected: Phase 3 (the narrative reset) was the part that surprised people most — they hadn't expected the public-narrative work to be a separate phase.
• Unexpected: the daily-rep log itself, kept past the course end-date, was the single most-cited durable habit. The receipt is the framework.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the course commitment per day? 20–30 minutes per day for the daily lesson, plus the time for the actual reps. The reps are the work. Some weeks the rep is a 5-minute uncomfortable phone call; some weeks it's a 60-minute hard conversation. The course is designed for working professionals, not for people with unlimited time.

Can I take the course at my own pace? Yes — the self-paced option exists. The cohort option (with weekly group calls) is the recommended format for teams and for individuals who want the accountability layer.

Is the course for corporate teams or individuals? Both. Individual learners take it self-paced or join a public cohort. Corporate teams run private cohorts with custom kickoff and weekly group calls run by Marques' team.

What if I'm not "in failure" right now — is the course still relevant? Yes. The Mindset Reset is preventive as well as restorative. The frameworks for inner story, daily disciplines, and narrative work apply before the next setback, not just after one.

Does the course count toward continuing education credits? Not currently. Ogden Academy is in the early stages of pursuing CE credentialing for select corporate-buyer industries. Updates as that lands.

What to take from this

The mindset reset isn't an inspirational moment. It's a 10-week structured rebuild — inner story, daily disciplines, public narrative — taught by the speaker who actually ran the comeback and who teaches Fortune 500 audiences from the same playbook.
