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if the frustration, inconsistency, and self-sabotage you’re experiencing in business aren’t random—but the result of outdated subconscious programs running the show?

In this episode, Paul breaks down what destructive mindset programs are, why they form, and how they silently shape your results. You’ll learn how these hidden patterns fuel fear, doubt, and sabotage—and why your mind clings to them, even when they no longer serve you.

Paul also shares a personal story about how fear and anxiety around money kept him stuck – for years –  and how hypnosis helped him dismantle those beliefs.

We’ll separate myth from science and explore how hypnosis works to rewire your subconscious, unlock better performance, and create real, lasting change.
