Playbook Radio #168: Build Your Dream in Your Mind
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025

Here's a podcast description for this episode:Building Your Success in the Mind FirstMost people try to build their dreams with hard work alone, starting from the ground up. But what if you're approaching it backwards? In this episode, Martin explores why mindset accounts for at least 80% of success and introduces a powerful mental technique used by legendary athletes and inventors: starting at the end.Discover how Jim Thorpe won Olympic gold by visualizing in a hammock, how Nikola Tesla perfected inventions in his mind before ever entering the laboratory, and why "acting like you've been there before" is more than just a saying—it's a blueprint for achievement.Whether you're an athlete hitting a performance wall, an entrepreneur building a business, or someone working to become better in your personal life, this episode reveals how to work on a higher plane by building your desired reality mentally first, then reverse engineering the steps to get there.Learn why mental labor creates higher rewards than manual labor alone, and how visualization and living in the end result can manifest real-world outcomes—from scoring touchdowns to moving into that dream apartment.It's time to start working with your mind, not just your hands.playbookstrat.substack.com
