8. Trusting Your Success Mechanism: The Key to Mastering Self Image and Achieving Goals


Listen Later

There’s a built-in guide inside you that’s waiting to steer you toward your goals, but most people never tap into it. This episode shines a light on how to awaken your success mechanism and let it lead the way—so you can stop second-guessing and start moving forward with confidence.

When you’re able to trust your inner guidance, achieving your goals becomes much less about struggle and more about flow. Many of us get stuck because we’re trying to control every detail and waiting to know “how” before we begin. This episode explores why understanding and activating your success mechanism shifts the game, taking you from stalled to unstoppable, step by step.

What You Need to Know

  • You don’t need to see the whole path to set a meaningful goal. Clarity comes after you decide what you want—not before.
  • Mistakes aren’t final, they’re feedback. Success comes from adjusting and learning as you go, not from getting everything right the first time.
  • Focusing on past successes primes your mind to create more wins. Let go of focusing on past failures; your success mechanism thrives on positive momentum.
  • Your subconscious, or “servo mechanism,” works best when you pause the constant push to “make it happen” and instead trust the process—think anchors, celebration rituals, and keeping faith in your ideas.
  • Self image mastery is about choosing growth and possibility, not restriction or self-doubt.

What You Need to Do

  • Decide on a goal, even before you know every step to get there. Write it down, make it real.
  • Embrace mistakes—see them as temporary and necessary for growth. Adjust your approach as you learn, just like a plane correcting its course.
  • Keep a celebration journal to record every success, no matter how small. Reinforce those wins with movement, music, or something joyful.
  • Trust your success mechanism. Resist the urge to control every outcome. Let your intuition and subconscious do their work.
  • Take one step at a time. The full picture will reveal itself as you move forward.
