What does success mean to you?
Do you want to be successful?
Have you ever though about it in real detail?
I have been fascinated by this field of psychology and mental performance since I was a young professional at Tottenham Hotspur and having worked with 2 Sport Psychologists at Norwich City, I have come to the realisation that the only thing I ever need to work on in my life is my psychology, my mindset, my mental performance, my mentality…I don’t really care what you call it! What I’ve come to realise after 25 years in elite sport is that the way an individual thinks is the single greatest differential in their life.
So the purpose of this show is to help us understand the difference between success and failure as well as trying to extract the common themes that surround people who are living the life they have always dreamed about.
So join me, Paul McVeigh, for the Psychology of Success where will be doing our first show live across all the usual social media platforms on Monday 5th April at 10am.
