From performing stand-up comedy in New York to developing patented technology and receiving a National Science Foundation grant, his story is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t come from perfect circumstances—it comes from execution, resilience, and perspective. Victor shares how he: Transitioned from entertainment into tech during the pandemicSold a patent despite initially not recognizing its valueNavigated imposter syndrome in rooms full of scientistsBuilt systems that merge gaming, events, and lead generationRedefined wealth through freedom and autonomy This conversation dives into the real, unfiltered journey behind success—including moments of doubt, financial struggle, and the mindset shifts that changed everything.

  • The Mindset Blocks Sabotaging Your Success | "Inspired To Invest" Ep146 with Paul Salter

    The Mindset Blocks Sabotaging Your Success | "Inspired To Invest" Ep146 with Paul Salter
    2026/06/03
    Why do so many people struggle to follow through… even when they know exactly what to do? Welcome back to ep146 of Inspired To Invest. To watch rather than listen, click HERE. In this episode of Inspired To Invest, I sit down with Paul Salter, a mindset and performance coach known as The Golf Hypnotherapist, to unpack what really drives success—and what quietly holds people back. Because here’s the truth… Most people don’t have a knowledge problem. They have an execution problem. Paul works with high-performing entrepreneurs and athletes to eliminate self-sabotage, rewire limiting beliefs, and build unshakable confidence under pressure. In this conversation, we go beyond surface-level strategies and into the deeper identity shifts required to actually take action and achieve your goals. Connect with him at @paulsaltercoaching or online https://thegolfhypnotherapist.com 💡 In this episode, we discuss: Why knowing what to do isn’t enough—and what’s really stopping youHow subconscious beliefs (formed early in life) shape your results todayThe surprising fear of success—and how it keeps people playing smallHow to regulate your emotions and take action even when fear is presentWhy self-sabotage is often rooted in identity, not disciplineThe role of hypnotherapy in uncovering and rewiring limiting beliefsHow high performers train their mindset to execute under pressure This episode is a powerful reminder that if you want different results… you can’t just do different things. You have to become someone different. Thank you to BnB Calc and RevWhisper for bringing us this month's episodes of Inspired To Invest.
