Welcome to our new series, The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, with the high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter.

Are you settling for “good enough?”

What if “good enough” isn’t really enough—but the silent trap keeping you stuck in mediocrity?

In this episode, Paul explores how settling for good enough shows up in your professional and personal life—and why it leaves you feeling restless, frustrated, and out of alignment. You’ll learn how this comfort zone disguises itself as success, why it robs you of growth, and how to recognize when you’ve mistaken a plateau for your peak.

Listen in to learn the difference between being outstanding and staying outstanding, uncover the fears that fuel comfort over progress, and show you how to decide where “good enough” really is enough—and where it’s time to go all in.

Welcome to our new series, The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, with the high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter.

What if the frustration, inconsistency, and self-sabotage you’re experiencing in business aren’t random—but the result of outdated subconscious programs running the show?
