How To Achieve Your Goals Easily There’s an easier way to achieve your dreams and goals — one that actually feels good and keeps you motivated the whole way through. In this episode, I share a simple but powerful approach to goal setting that most people miss: starting from the last step — that moment when you’ve already achieved your goal — and using that feeling to drive you forward. You’ll discover how to find your true why, anchor your motivation, and create a plan that’s realistic, energising, and deeply aligned with what you want. And there’s more — I’ll also guide you through a special hypnosis process designed to connect your conscious and unconscious minds, so the path to your goals becomes effortless and natural. This isn’t about grinding harder or forcing success. It’s about feeling your way into it — knowing exactly what success looks and feels like so you can enjoy every step along the way.  In this episode:   The often-overlooked final step that makes all the difference in goal achievement   How to find and anchor your true motivation (your why)   Why traditional goal-setting keeps you stuck and how to flip it   The role of your unconscious mind in creating success   A guided hypnosis process to help you align and take inspired action    Takeaway: When you start from the feeling of already having achieved your goal, and anchor that emotion, everything changes. Obstacles shrink, motivation grows, and the steps become natural.  Listen now — and let’s make your goals easier, more joyful, and truly yours. Then let's share it with others  Shine Brightly 🌟 Oh!

Talking's Over It's Time To Change In this slightly-longer FMQ, we’re taking a gentle but powerful step toward real change. No more talking about the issue. No more cycling through the same thoughts. This episode is all about shifting your focus to what actually creates transformation — how you want to feel. So many of us get stuck talking, thinking, analysing… and nothing changes. Why? Because talking doesn’t always touch the unconscious mind — the place where these patterns were created in the first place.  In this FMQ, I share: The real difference between empathy and compassion (and why empathy can overload you) Why talking about problems rarely changes them Where real emotional change really happens The simple, powerful pre-work for next week’s longer deep-dive episode How focusing on “how I want to feel” can quietly shift things even before you do any formal process  This episode is your gentle setup — your seed — for the bigger, deeper process in next week’s longer podcast. And it’s beautifully simple.  ✅ Your 7-Day Challenge (The Seed for Next Week) Each day, take 2–3 quiet minutes and write down: How would I like to feel? Not the issue. Not the problem. Not “what’s wrong”. Just: How do I want to feel instead? Do it in different contexts if you want:   With people   At work   Alone   In difficult moments   In good moments   Then… let it simmer. Let your unconscious mind start doing what it does best. Next week, we’ll take everything you’ve written and go deep with a full process to help make those feelings part of your natural way of being.  Why This Matters Because talking doesn’t always change anything — but educating the unconscious mind does. And this tiny step gets you ready for a huge one.  Share It Share this FMQ with someone who needs to feel better, think differently, or get ready for some genuine positive change. You might kickstart something wonderful for them.

FMQ 519 Talking's Over It's Time To Change

I Feel Sh*t So Let's Change This Episode in a Nutshell In this deeper dive of Personal Development Unplugged, we get real about feeling stuck, low, anxious or just “not ourselves” — and what to actually do about it. No more endless talking, analysing or looping the same bloody thoughts. This is about changing how you feel at the unconscious level, where these issues were created… and where they can be changed. If you’ve ever struggled to remember what “good” even feels like, or wondered why you can’t just think your way out of the cycle, this episode gives you a gentle, powerful way to move forward — using your imagination, memory, and your very real inner resources.  What You’ll Learn • Why “talking about your issue” rarely creates real change Talking keeps you in your conscious mind — the part that didn’t create the problem. So it can’t resolve it. • Why your unconscious mind is the key Your unconscious created these feelings to protect you. It just chose a bad strategy. So we go back to that level to educate it and update it. • How to discover how you actually want to feel (Not as easy as people pretend. But we make it easy.) • How to use memories to unlock feelings you thought you’d lost If you can imagine the feeling, you have felt it before — we just need to uncover the counter-examples. • A step-by-step method to go from “how I feel now” → “how I want to feel” Including the powerful “middle feeling” bridge that stops your brain panicking and makes real change doable. • How to create experiences in your future that your unconscious mind believes are real And therefore starts acting on them now.  Why This Matters Because you deserve better than living with old, outdated emotional programmes. Because you are more than the issue you’re experiencing. Because feeling good, calm, confident or safe isn’t a fantasy — it’s a memory inside you waiting to be brought forward. And because change doesn’t require force, pressure or reliving the past. It requires permission, imagination and simple steps.  Your Simple Action Steps   Write down how you feel now. Be honest. No judgement.   Write down how you want to feel. This is the feeling you’d choose if everything was just right.   Find the halfway feeling. The emotional stepping stone.   Use your imagination: Visualise yourself feeling the way you want to feel, in the exact context where you currently struggle.   Drop into a memory: Let your unconscious find a time you actually felt this way before.   Blend them. Bring that old feeling into the imagined future — your brain doesn’t know the difference.   Repeat with curiosity. It’s simple. It’s gentle. And it works.    Cloughie’s Notes (The Heart-to-Heart Bit) You are not broken. You don’t need fixing. You simply learned a way of coping that doesn’t serve you anymore. And just as you learned it, you can unlearn it. And relearn something far better. This episode is my way of guiding you to the place where you can make that change — easily, naturally, gently. Because you matter. And because I know what it’s like to feel lost. And I know what it’s like to find the way back.

#468 I Feel Sh*t So Let's Change

On this Thanksgiving week 2025 and episode 304 of Take Flight Weekly, I revisit one of the most powerful performance basics in my playbook: gratitude. Not the soft version. The real thing. The kind that rewires your brain and anchors you when life is chaotic.
I'll walk you through my personal affirmation that starts with "I am so happy and grateful," unpack why I built it the way I did, and connect it to what the science of gratitude is proving right now. Then we'll get tactical with a simple, elite-level gratitude strategy you can execute in five minutes a day.

In Q4 2010, I was under real financial pressure. The business was hard, the numbers were tight, and I realized I had zero chance of winning if I didn't get control of what was happening between my ears. My goal was simple: Keep my emotional frequency at 51 percent or higher. Slightly more optimistic than pessimistic.

Around that time, I was studying Bob Proctor and John Assaraf. They made one point that landed hard: Success starts in your mind long before it shows up in your bank account. So I wrote my own affirmation, and I've now said it tens of thousands of times.
Meta-analyses of gratitude interventions show consistent gains in life satisfaction and mental health. Neuroscience work shows that gratitude practices light up reward and regulation centers in the brain. It's not just a "nice idea" anymore. It's a proven performance tool.

The Anatomy of My Affirmation
→ "I AM" – The two most powerful words. Your subconscious accepts whatever follows.
→ "So happy and grateful" – Happiness and gratitude are inputs, not trophies. They're a frequency you decide to live in.
→ "That money, success, and introductions" – Gratitude keeps you focused on opportunities you already have.
→ "Flow to me" – The kind of flow that shows up when your mindset, actions, and relationships are aligned.
→ "In ever increasing quantities from a myriad of different sources" – Gratitude is a flywheel that compounds over time.
→ "For the betterment of all those involved" – I never wanted success that only worked for me.
→ "My life is perfect" – I choose to see my current reality as raw material, not punishment.
→ "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better" – Pure 1% better math.

What the Science Says
→ Gratitude improves mental health – Reduces anxiety and depression
→ Gratitude changes the brain – Activates reward and regulation regions
→ Gratitude improves physical health and sleep
→ Gratitude strengthens relationships
→ Structured gratitude tools work in as little as 6-10 sessions

Three Gratitude Habits for Advisors
→ The 60-Second Morning Affirmation
Before you touch your phone, stand up, breathe deeply, and say your affirmation. Say it like you mean it.
→ The Weekly Gratitude Text or Voice Memo
Once a week, send one client, mentor, or team member a note saying specifically why you appreciate them. No pitch. Pure appreciation.
→ Gratitude Reset in Real Time

When anxiety spikes, stop for thirty seconds. Name three things you're grateful for in that exact 
moment. Use gratitude as a pattern interrupt.

I coach to happy and grateful results, not production. Production is a lagging indicator. Execution of being grateful is a leading indicator. When you're grounded, happy, and genuinely grateful, your business expands with less friction.

That's not woo-woo. That's strategy.

Take Flight Weekly Episode #304: Gratitude is a High Performance Strategy

I'm Not Good Enough Where'd That Come From? In this slightly longer Five-Minute Quickie, we’re digging into one of the sneakiest, most stubborn beliefs so many of us carry around: “I’m not good enough.” Where did it come from? Why does it stick? And how do we uncover what’s really underneath it? This FMQ is all about preparing you for the deeper dive coming in the next longer episode, where I’ll be guiding you through a process to change this belief for good. But first, we need a seed — a direction — so when we get there, your unconscious mind is already lined up and ready to shift. What We Explore Today   How “I’m not good enough” often starts with something very specific.   Why a general belief always has a more personal root underneath it.   The types of life experiences where this message gets planted.   How your unconscious mind tries (clumsily!) to protect you with limiting beliefs.   A gentle exercise to uncover the real identity belief below the surface.   Your Mini-Mission Before we get to the long episode:   Notice the feeling of “I’m not good enough.”   Keep the intensity no higher than a 5 out of 10.   Ask:   “I’m not good enough because I’m…?”     Let the deeper belief rise — something identity-level like “I’m stupid,” “I’m invisible,” “I’m useless.”   Just notice it. No fixing today — just understanding.   This gentle curiosity will set you up beautifully for the transformation we’ll create together next week. Don’t Miss the Next Episode That’s where we take this seed, this awareness, and change the belief at the unconscious level. Not with willpower. Not with talking. But with a real process. Share with your friends so we can all make this change together   Shine Brightly 🌟 Paul  Hey there! I’d love to hear from you—questions, feedback, requests—all welcome.

Where did that come from? Slow down, Paul. Where did that come from? And we're going to go there, we're going to just have a little look at this to see where this belief of I'm not good enough, oh, you know, I don't deserve it, or, you know, I have to be a perfectionist, a perfectionist, I don't know why I said that. &nbsp;  But just that, I think we've all got a belief like I'm not good enough. And the I think it comes from something else, something more specific. And when we look at the specific and understand it, guess what, sometimes it just disappears. &nbsp;  And the thing is, that's what we're going to do. This is, again, a FMQ with a difference. Because it's not just me rambling, although it is a bit. &nbsp;  It's all about...

Trying to leave this little old world and the people I meet in a better place then when I first met them.

Who am I and what do I do?………Paul Clough.

I now love helping making changes in people and guiding them to create the life they really want.
 
A personal look at me:
 
The above sentence was not always the case and being the best in the financial realms of the building industry was my aim and getting there by any means. I now know this is, and was, the worst way ~ even if I did make director of one of the largest building companies in Cambridge by the age of 30.
 
One of the major realisations came on my first ever training in hypnosis. I found that it’s not a win lose world and that a win win is only a low basis to live.
 
Being true to your beliefs and coming from a place of integrity where service is paramount. This understanding together with lots of NLP skills helped create my last partnership in the building industry grow from a turnover of £800k to £16m in less than twelve years and that can only be done with giving more than expected.
 
Another shaping of me came from two traumatic events in my life that happened within six months of each other which created a number of major changes in me and by beliefs in what is possible. I have written about my experience and how I dealt with it but more importantly it really showed me my love for my three boys and theirs for me and resulted in the step up to become a trainer of NLP (which I never intended) and my close and exciting work with two of my sons. In supporting Joseph and help create change in people in our training’s and his wonderful life changing ‘Be your potential weekend’ and with Luke the continuing development of Cambridge Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis processes. My relationship with my third son Daniel just keeps getting better and better too.
 
Not knowing how good I had become in change work in the beginning I generally studied, practiced and saw clients then things started to happen when I started to work following just my instincts. Two clients come to mind both in effect dying from the effects of what was happening to them and the way they felt and within one and two sessions respectively not only won the will to live they changed virtually in front of my eyes and being apart of that process was and is the best feeling alive.
 
The above are just three of many brilliant learnings I have had in my life.
