How To Achieve and Have the Mindset of Success

We hear it everywhere: “You need the mindset of success.” But what does that actually mean? And more importantly — how do you get it?

In this episode of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast, I’ll take you beyond the vague definitions and straight into a practical process you can use right now. We’ll cut through the fluff and create a real mindset of success — one where your mind and body are fully aligned toward a specific goal.

You’ll discover how to:

• Get ultra clear and specific about what you really want (not what you don’t want).
• Write it down in a way that seeds your unconscious mind.
• Identify the empowering beliefs that fuel your success.
• Step into the physiology and psychology of having already achieved your dream.
• Anchor it all with a simple word that triggers your success state whenever you need it.

This isn’t about “thinking positive.” It’s about aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions so you naturally move toward your goals.

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only understand what the mindset of success is — you’ll have it.

Key Takeaway: Success isn’t vague — it’s specific. Write it down, embody it, and live it.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism

The mindset of success. What is that? What is that mindset of success? Do you know? I don't.

 

I do. You see, people talk about it, don't they? Talk about this mindset of success. But do they ever explain exactly what it is? And more importantly, do they explain how to get it? You know, just think of success.

 

Go on, do it now. Do it now. Think of having a mindset of success.

 

Did that inspire you to go and do something? I didn't think so. Because it's too bloody vague. Have you ever looked at the definition of success? It's pretty vague too.

 

Here's one. One. It said, success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

 

How is that motivating? How is that a mindset of success? If that's the definition of success. There's another one, by the way. And I got to move something just to read it too.

 

It says the satisfaction of tangible accomplishments. Bloody hell. Tangible accomplishments.

 

Is that something that buzzes you? Is it really? Does it buzz you at all? I didn't think so. So let's just stay with this because it's quite obvious really, when you think about it, if everything is so bloody vague and therefore general, you're only going to get a general mindset of general success, which is absolutely pish all, isn't it? Nothing. So I want to go through one of my versions, because there's never just one, is there? You know, we can manipulate and morph and do all sorts of things with different processes.

 

But this is the one that came to my mind. I wanted to go through it with you. So it's the mindset of success with some other stuff as well, because I want to make it happen for you.

 

And how do I do that? I want to include the mind and the body. Mind, body aligned to a special and specific result. Yeah, mind, body aligned to a special, specific, listen to the word, specific result.

 

Because if you aim for a specific result, that's what we're going to get. And our aim now, my intention is to formulate that mindset of success. But specifically, so let's repeat it.

 

Just before we get into the real nitty gritty. It's the mind and body aligned to a specific result. So before anything, anything that you and I need to do, we need to be specific about the goal that we want, the thing that we want, our goal, our desire, our dream.

 

So be specific. But here's the thing people do when they're specific, they could be so specific in what they don't want. Thinking, I'm being so positive, Paul, because I don't want to be anxious anymore.

 

I don't want to be unconfident. I don't want to be, I don't know, fear of missing out of anything. I don't want to have that anxiety.

 

I don't want to have whatever. And you see, when you say to yourself, I don't want unconfidence. The first thing that comes into your mind is all the pictures of being unconfident, the feeling of being unconfident.

 

When you say to yourself, I don't want to be anxious anymore. There's only one thing you think of is anxious. Because your unconscious mind doesn't really process its negatives very well.

 

It's that thing like don't think of a blue tree or an elephant in the room or whatever. Because the first thing you do is what room? What tree? I told you not to think about it, but you did. And guess what? Don't think of it again.

 

He got me. Unless you're trained not to. So it's all about knowing what you really want.

 

And to do that, you have to write the bloody thing down. Remember, writing the bloody thing down really, really works. So as you can see, the camera didn't work that time.

 

I guess I didn't press the right button. But anyway, I'll press it right now. So you got to write that bloody thing down.

 

Because when you write things down, it means more to you, you have to think about it, that internal voice of yours, you have to visualise things. Because what you're visualising is that you're beginning to visualise what you want, because you're thinking about what I want. And specifically, exactly.

 

Where do you want it? With whom do you want it? When do you want it? What exactly is it? What context? All of that. And when you write it down, you're sowing the seed. And we're going to n
