FMQ 531 The Missing Part Of Success

The Missing Part Of Success

The Seed of Success Most People Miss

We hear it all the time…

“Think positive.”
“Have the right mindset.”
“Say your affirmations.”

And yes… that’s part of it.

But what if that’s only half the equation?

In this Five Minute Quickie, we uncover the missing piece of success — the part hardly anyone talks about, yet it changes everything.

>

It’s Not Just Psychology… It’s Physiology

You can have:

• The perfect plan
• The right words
• The strongest mindset

…but if your body isn’t aligned?

It won’t land.

Success isn’t just in your thoughts — it’s in:

• The way you move
• The way you breathe
• Your tone of voice
• Your energy

It’s how you show up

Because the truth is…

You can’t separate the mind and the body.
They work together — always.

Acting “As If” — The Real Way

This isn’t about faking it till you make it.

That’s… well… fake.

This is about:
Becoming aligned
Being congruent
Acting as the real you

When your psychology + physiology match…

That’s when things click.

Same words.
Different energy.
Completely different results.

Where This Shows Up in Your Life

• Career: People feel your certainty (or your doubt)
• Relationships: It’s not what you say — it’s how you say it
• Confidence: It’s embodied, not just thought about

When it’s all aligned…

You don’t try to be convincing
You are convincing

The Ripple Effect

Here’s the bigger picture…

When you step into this aligned way of being:

• You stop forcing things
• You become the example
• You inspire others — naturally

No effort. No pretending.

Just being.

And that’s where real change spreads.

What’s Next?

In the Deeper Dive, we go beyond the “what”…

Into the HOW
How to align your psychology and physiology How to become the real you (not a fake version)

Because that’s where everything changes.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism

Welcome, welcome to the FMQ, the seed, the seed of, in this case, the seed of success. We always have a longer podcast of diving deeper, but I want you to think of a few things.

 

All you have to do is, well, listen for a little bit, watch for a little bit, get your mind going, and see what intuitively comes up as being the right thing to do. So, the physiology of success. I'm a winner.

 

I'm a winner. I've got a winner's mindset. Do you know what? I say positive things over and over again.

 

I have a positive mantra, and do you know what? It gets louder and louder and louder and louder. I've got this. I've got this.

 

Oh, that's not the physiology of success, is it? That's the psychology of success. That's up in here, and you need it up here. Some people will say, you know, there's 10% of success is in the mind, but it's that special 10%, and they're not wrong.

 

They're not wrong, but you can't have one without the other. You can't have a mind without the body. You can't have a body without the mind.

 

You can't have all the things that make your mind fresh and alive without a body that's fresh and alive and acting in a particular way, and what I'm talking about is the physiology of success. If you think about it, or if you can remember the five keys to success, I talk about it loads of times. I've got it everywhere.

 

The fifth key is acting, acting as if with a psychology and a physiology of success. The two together, you can't have one without the other. Now, knowing that you need up here, it would be silly if you didn't have everything else, wouldn't it? You see, and I'm not talking about being physically fit, but you might need it for certain things.

 

If your goals, your dreams, and desires are one of being superbly fit, yeah, you're going to need your body. You're going to have to do all sorts of things. If you're mountain climbing or doing all that stuff, you're going to have to do that, but I'm not talking about the physically fit bit.

 

You have to be that anyway, and if you're in personal development, you are going to want that part of your body or part of you to be as best it can be, just as you want your brain to be the best it can be, so you can be integrated, aligned, congruent, all that stuff. That's what we do, but without a physiology of success. It's the way you move, the way you breathe, where your muscles just seem to act as if you're doing what you should be doing.

 

So, what I mean is, I guess what I mean is, if you could just think about doing something, you have it all up here, you've learnt what it's all about, but you've never actually done it, you'd have a bit of a problem, but if you can visualise it a little bit, visualise yourself and see yourself doing it, or watching somebody else do it and go, ah, I see how they move, how they balance, you're starting to get the physiology of success. You're beginning to act as if, and if you're going to succeed at anything in life, every goal, every dream, every desire, every different part of your life, when you've got it, you are acting as if you've got it, because you have, you're thinking you've got it, because you have, you're aligned, and you see, without it, without the two together, you're lost. So, you can do all the planning, you can do all the steps, but we need to get this physiology of success, acting as if, because as I say, this applies to everything.

 

It applies to things like your career, you know, if you're trying to be a salesman, or you're giving ideas, and you're motivating people, if you act like you're depressed, and you're cunched over, and you've got nothing about you, it ain't going to happen, is it? You might have the right words, but without the right, call it, some people call it body language, but that's not it, is it? It's that, that just a communication, nonverbal communication, where your nonverbals, your body, your movement, the sound of your voice, the way you breathe, the way you look, the intensity, as well as what the words mean, that's when you get it. Relationships, you can say to somebody, I love you, I love you, oh, you mean the most to me, or you can say, yeah, I love you, yeah, you mean the most to me, don't you? Yeah, same words, same bloody words, but they're not together, you have to put them all together. So, relationships, going out with your friends, socializing, everything that you want is aligned, and this is where we're going to go, how do we get the psychology and the physiology of success? Are we going to talk about physiology, because I think, I believe not many people talk about it, they talk about how you've got to think, how, what type of words, you know, the tactics, but they don't tell you how to put it all together, because when you put it all together, and you do it properly, you're not faking it until you make it, we've talked about that so many other times, you're not faking it, it's in the bloody title, faking, and when you're the real you, and they call it the authentic you, but the real you, you're not faking it, are you? You know, because you can't fake yourself, you know you're telling little fibs if you're not fully aligned, so we've got to get that physiology of success, truly aligned, being yourself, and how are we going to do that? Well, that's in the next Deeper Dive, you see, in the next Deeper Dive, we're going to explore something I think is really fascinating, I think you'll find it fascinating, it'll be so interesting, because it's not just the what, it's how, the bit that people miss out, and what happens when you do, and when you start, you know, changing yourself back into yourself as it were, your goals, your dreams, everything you want to create in life, the good life, the brilliant life, will start to come to you naturally, and the thing is, this is what I found out after a while, it's not just about you, I used to think it was just about you, you've got to get it, but when you're in this wonderful way of being, then you create changes in other people too, because you show them what's available to them, look at him, look at her, oh man, if she can have it, if he can have it, I can do it too, you become the example of what can be done, and that's without trying, you don't try to be the example, you just are, and the ripples of change go further and wider, so if you want to come into this little Deeper Dive of knowing how to be the real you, come with me, I'll see you next time on Deeper Dive.
