Mastering Your Mental Game: How Thoughts Shape Achievement

Send me a Text Message! I am Happy to Hear from You.

Mindset isn't just a trendy buzzword—it's the invisible force determining most of your results. While strategies and mechanics matter, they only account for about 20% of your success. The remaining 80%? It's all in your head.

We all face internal barriers that sabotage our potential. The voice of self-doubt questions your worth and ability to pursue bigger dreams, often sounding so convincing you mistake it for truth. Fear of failure convinces you that trying and potentially failing is worse than never trying at all, keeping you playing small. Negative thinking cycles trap you in worst-case scenarios, paralyzing progress entirely. These mindset challenges silently erode dreams from within—but they're not fixed states. They can be transformed through intentional practice.

Mastering your mindset requires specific strategies implemented consistently. Positive affirmations serve as mental training tools that, when repeated with conviction, help override limiting beliefs operating on autopilot. Visualization leverages the fact that your brain doesn't distinguish between vividly imagined scenarios and reality, creating a neurological blueprint for success. Adopting a growth mindset—the belief that your abilities develop through dedication and hard work—transforms how you approach challenges, helping you view failures as valuable feedback. Jim Carrey's story of writing himself a $10 million check years before earning that exact amount perfectly demonstrates how mindset creates reality from the inside out.

Your outer world will always rise or fall to match your inner world. If you're ready to take your life to the next level, it begins with elevating your thinking. What mindset shift could change everything for you? Share this episode with someone who needs a perspective reset—someone who's just one mindset shift away from breakthrough. Remember, every time you choose growth over fear and belief over doubt, you're rewiring your future one thought at a time.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did you know that 80% of success comes from mindset
and only 20% to strategy andmechanics?
This is not scientificallyright, but this idea comes from
Tony Robbins and, quoted bycountless high performance guys,
reminds us that the way wethink often matters more than

(00:23):
what we do.
Hi guys, my name is Fabio fromJourney to Success and welcome.
Today we introduce the conceptof mindset and its critical role
in achieving success, settingthe stage for why.
Mastering it is essential, butbefore to go forward, as always,

(00:43):
please subscribe.
Essential, but before to goforward, as always, please
subscribe.
So I know this is the rightdirection to lead you guys, to
drive you, to guide you towardsyour journey to success.
And let's get started right.
Mindset mindset is more thanjust a word.
It is the lens through which wesee the world, make decisions
and respond to challenges.

(01:04):
At its core, mindset is theinternal script running in the
background, shaping how we think, feel and act, and research
shows it plays a massive role indetermining our outcomes.
So why do some people riseafter failure while others stay

(01:27):
stuck?
For example, why do some pushthrough fear and uncertainty
while others retrogress?
The answer often comes down tomindset.
It governs our resilience, ourability to learn, guys, and our
belief in what is possible.
Success is not just abouthaving the right strategy or

(01:50):
resources, all right.
It's more about having theright mindset to use them.
That's why mastering yourmindset is not optional.
If you want to achieveextraordinary results, it is
essential.
It's not optional if you wantto achieve extraordinary results

(02:10):
, it is essential.
So today we are diving deepinto the power of mindset, what
it is, how it shapes your lifeand, most importantly, how you
can take control of it to unlockyour full potential.
So now let's discuss commonmindset challenges people face,
such as self-doubt, fear offailure and negative thinking

(02:31):
that restricts success.
So if mindset is the key tosuccess, then what's stopping so
many of us from unlocking ourfull potential?
The truth is, we all faceinternal barriers.
But what are these barriers?
Let's break down a few of themso we try to understand a little

(02:56):
bit this concept.
First of all, we haveself-doubt, that inner voice
that whispers.
Who do you think you are?
You know it questions yourworth, your ability, your right
to pursue something bigger.
And, the worst part, you knowwhat it is.
It often sounds so convincingthat we mistake it for true.

(03:19):
Then there is the fear offailure, guys, this one is
powerful.
It's powerful because itconvinces us that try and
failing is worse than not tryingat all.
We stay safe, we play small andwe never find out what we are
truly capable of.
And, of course, there is thenegative thinking.

(03:42):
As simple as that.
It is a cycle of focusing onwhat could go wrong, coloring
problems, you know, andundervaluing our strengths.
This mindset doesn't just slowus down, it paralyzes.
So these challenges are real,they're persistent, very strong,
and they can silently erodetheir dreams from the inside.

(04:06):
But here's the good newsmindset is not fixed, guys.
It can be reshaped,reprogrammed and rebuilt, and
that's exactly what we're goingto explore.
Next, now that we and cover themindset traps that hold us back,
let's talk about how to takeour power back, how to train our

(04:28):
minds for success instead ofsabotage.
Mastering your mindset doesn'thappen by accident, guys.
It happens by intention.
Here are three provenstrategies that can radically
transform the way you think,feel and perform.
So the first one is positiveaffirmations.
Right?
So affirmations are not justfeel-good phrases, they're

(04:51):
mental training tools.
When repeated consistently,they help override the limiting
beliefs that run on autopilot inyour mind, guys.
Think of them like mental repsat the gym.
Okay, statements like I'mcapable, I create my own success
, or even every challenge makesme stronger, makes me stronger,

(05:15):
may seem simple, right, butspoken with conviction and
repetition, they begin to rewireyour subconscious for
confidence and resilience.
Number two visualizationtechniques.
Your brain doesn't know thedifference between a vividly
imagined scenario and reality.

(05:35):
Athletes, you know, ceos andperformers have used
visualization for decades.
You know to prime themselvesfor success for decades.
You know to prime themselvesfor success Each day.
Take a few minutes to closeyour eyes, guys, and see
yourself achieve your goals.
Picture the details, how youfeel, what you're doing, what

(05:56):
you're impacting.
So this practice supportsbelief, guys, boosts motivation
and helps you mentally rehearsethe very success you want to
create.
Number three adopt a growthmindset.
Coined by psychologist CarolDweck, the growth mindset is the

(06:18):
relief that your abilities canbe developed by true effort,
learning and perseverance.
All right, this mindsettransforms failure into feedback
and setbacks into setup forcomebacks.
When you embrace grow, guys,you stop fearing mistakes and
start seeing them as part of thepath to mastery.
Here's the true your outerworld will always rise or fall

(06:40):
to match your inner world.
So if you want next levelresults, you you need a
next-level mindset, and thebeauty is that the power is
already within you.
It just needs to be activated.
Okay, let's talk about the storyof Jim Carrey.
It's not the first time, but Ilove this story and, in this

(07:02):
case, reflect perfectly thisscenario.
So before he became one of thehighest paid actors in Hollywood
, guys, jim was just astruggling comedian trying to
make ends meet.
At one point his family was sobroke that they lived in a van.
But during those 12 years, jimdid something unusual, something

(07:23):
that would later becomelegendary.
He wrote himself a check for$10 million and dated it
Thanksgiving 1995.
Then he put in his wallet andcarried it with him everywhere.
Every day.
He visualized himself beingsuccessful and earning that

(07:44):
exact amount.
And it's funny because in Dumband Dumber, jim has been paid 10
millions of dollars.
It was around the date he hadwritten on the check.
So this is not just a storyabout fame or money, it's about
mindset, guys.
Jim didn't wait for success tohappen to him.
He believed it, he visualizedit and trained his mind to align

(08:11):
with the outcome he wanted.
That's the power of mindset.
Okay, it doesn't just help yousurvive the hard times, it helps
you create a new realitystarting from the inside out.
Now let's take a moment to recapwhat we have called today,
because this episode wasn't justabout information, it was about

(08:32):
transformation.
So we started with powerfultruth right, 80% of success
comes down to mindset.
The powerful truth right, 80%of success comes down to mindset
.
Well, it's not scientificallyproved because it comes from
Tommy Robbins, but hey, let'ssay it's true.
So, no talent, no resources,not even strategy it's your
thinking that shapes yourreality.

(08:53):
Right?
Then we broke down the commonmindset challenges that hold so
many people back Self-doubt,fear of failure and negative
thinking.
These are not just mentalhabits, guys.
They are success blockers.
But the good news, they can beovercome.
All right, we explore alsothree practical strategies to

(09:15):
start mastering your mindsettoday.
So here I have three keys foryou Positive affirmations to
reprogram limited beliefs.
Visualization to create clarityand emotional alignment with
your goals.
And adopting a growth mindsetso you see every setback as a
setup for growth.
We also share the inspiringstory of Jim Carrey.

(09:38):
So here's the takeaway If youwant to change your life, you
have to change your mindsetfirst.
Everything starts here in yourbrain.
So the way you speak toyourself, the way you see
yourself, your potential, theway you respond to failure it
all matters more than yourealize.
