I give my weekend review practice for mental preparation. The five-step process includes: getting quiet for 15-20 minutes, mental revision using Neville Goddard's technique to rewrite failures as successes, visualizing breakthrough goals as already achieved, mentally rehearsing the upcoming week, and scheduling daily mental check-ins. Your subconscious can't tell real from imagined—so replay successes, not failures. This practice gives you preparation beyond 80-90% of professionals.

Synopsis In this episode, I share a striking revelation I just discovered: NFL coaches spend 85-100 hours per week game planning for just 3-4 hours of gameplay. This billion-dollar industry’s approach to preparation offers powerful lessons for personal and professional success. Key Insight: The most successful people I know are meticulous planners who understand that without a plan, you’re inviting chaos and failure. Failure typically results from neglect, not intention. What You’ll Learn: * Why you should set specific target dates and milestones for all projects * How to create contingency plans for unexpected setbacks * Ways to apply strategic planning to work, relationships, health, and finances * How to start small—even 3-5 hours of weekly planning makes a significant difference Bottom Line: If you prepare for the known, you’ll have confidence to handle the unknown. Strategic planning upfront pays dividends in execution and results.

I reveal why mental discipline separates winners from everyone else. Your mind is like a horse—if you're not directing it, it takes you wherever it wants, usually into victim mentality. When you catch yourself in a pity party, snap out of it fast and return to your game plan. Bad things happen to everyone, but controlling your thoughts determines your direction. Your mind takes you up or down—you choose. Subscribe here to get all of the latest updates and content: https://martinwilliams.substack.com/

In this episode of Playbook Radio, I break down why repeating success is so difficult — whether in sports, business, or life. Using the New York Liberty’s early playoff exit as a starting point, I explain how winning often leads to complacency, praise dulls hunger, and champions lose the edge that got them there. The key to repeating isn’t thinking like a champion, but like the challengers who are still hungry. To win again, you must reset, do more than before, and approach every new season, job, or client as if you’re starting from zero. https://pensight.com/x/playbook/execution-codes-finding-work

In this episode, I reveal the powerful psychology behind Pat Riley's 2006 NBA Finals strategy that led the underdog Miami Heat to victory over the favored Dallas Mavericks. Riley employed two key tactics: telling his team to pack only one suit for Game 6 (because they wouldn't need to stay for Game 7) and declaring the exact date and time they would win the championship. I explore the core principle that "everything is finished"—the idea that in a world of infinite possibilities, your goals already exist and you simply need to align with them rather than create them from scratch. * The One-Suit Strategy: How preparing for success (not failure) programs your subconscious for victory * Infinite Possibilities Principle: Why science supports the idea that all outcomes already exist * Strategic Delusion: How temporary belief in completion can manifest real results * The Wi-Fi Analogy: Understanding that invisible doesn't mean non-existent I share Napoleon Hill's sales story from Think and Grow Rich about a sales manager who convinced a struggling salesman that his next call was a guaranteed sale—even though no preparation had been made. The salesman's absolute belief in the outcome led to immediate success. Stop trying to make things happen. Start stepping into what's already complete. Your success exists in the realm of infinite possibilities—you just need to get "online" with it.
