How to achieve your Dreams and Goals

Want real results — not hype? In this episode of Personal Development Unplugged Paul Clough shows you how to move from wishful thinking to action that works. We dig into practical goal-setting, the feeling of the wish fulfilled, how to use your mind (RAS + visualization), and small, actionable steps that create momentum. Expect NLP-informed tips, a short guided hypnosis process to embed success in your unconscious, and direct coaching you can use today.

Key takeaways

  • Define success specifically: the clearer the goal, the faster the result.

  • Use feeling of the wish fulfilled + physiology + inner dialogue to “act as if.”

  • Employ the Reticular Activating System—focus your mind and notice opportunities.

  • Build micro-steps (tiny wins) and schedule regular reviews to stay on track.

  • Align goals with your values — ensure they’re ecological (good for you, others, planet).

  • Quick practical guided hypnosis included — make this a daily habit.

Share with one person who needs permission to step up today. Have more fun than you can stand.
