Creating a Mindset for Success: The Thoughts That Can Change Your Life

A mindset for success is everything. But what does that really mean? If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the phrase “it’s all about mindset,” this episode of The Abundant Coach is for you.

Lauren Brollier Newton takes you inside her personal journey—how she went from frustrated schoolteacher and struggling entrepreneur to a thriving, successful coach with a life she loves. The key? Shifting her mindset for success.

In this episode, Lauren reveals the exact affirmations she used to transform her reality, why success starts in your thoughts before it shows up in your bank account, and the powerful role of decision and action. She also shares the pivotal 40-day period that changed everything—from heartbreak to breakthrough—and how you can use the same principles to create a mindset that supports your biggest dreams. If you’re ready to step into success, this episode is your roadmap.

Why a Mindset for Success Matters More Than You Think

If you’ve ever doubted whether changing your thoughts can truly change your life, you’re not alone. Lauren once felt the same way. But through her own journey, she discovered that the thoughts you think every day shape your reality. Your mindset is either opening doors or keeping you stuck.

When coaching aspiring life coaches, Lauren can hear within their questions whether they are on the path to success or unknowingly sabotaging themselves. And 98% of the time, it comes down to mindset—not strategy. Success isn’t just about what you do; it’s about how you think.

Creating a Mindset for Success: The Affirmations That Changed Everything

Before Lauren found her true calling, she was a schoolteacher with a side business that never seemed to take off. No matter how hard she worked, she couldn’t break through a $400-a-month income ceiling. That’s when she stumbled upon John Assaraf’s book The Answer and decided to try a simple but profound shift: affirmations.

Here were her daily affirmations:

  • My husband and I grow deeper in love every day.
  • We build dreams together and are affectionate with one another.
  • I wake up every day with passion and purpose.
  • I generate $20,000 a month in income.
  • I help other people build their dreams.

These weren’t just words—she committed to saying them every single day. And then, something remarkable happened…

The 40-Day Shift: When a Mindset for Success Meets Miracles

After 40 days of repeating her affirmations, her life changed in ways she never expected. Her marriage fell apart, but instead of seeing it as a failure, she realized it was the universe aligning her life with the success mindset she had been cultivating. That same month, she also hit her biggest business milestone yet—$10,000 in sales, more than double her previous record.

And just days before her husband left, a friend invited her to Dream Builder Live, an event that would introduce her to Mary Morrissey and set her on the path to becoming a life coach. Within months, she was building the career and the life she had unknowingly affirmed into existence.

The Science Behind a Mindset for Success

This isn’t magic—it’s brain science. When you repeat affirmations consistently, you create new neural pathways in your brain. Over time, these thoughts become your default mode of thinking, influencing your actions, energy, and results.

To make this work for you:

  • Identify the thoughts that are keeping you stuck.
  • Write affirmations that reflect the reality you want to create.
  • Habit stack—tie your affirmations to existing habits like driving, brushing your teeth, or making coffee.
  • Say them with conviction, not just once a day, but throughout the day.
  • Stay committed—don’t quit if results don’t show up overnight.

Key Takeaways From This Episode:

  • Success starts with your thoughts. You don’t have to overhaul your entire mindset overnight, but even small shifts make a huge difference.
  • Affirmations aren’t just words; they are the foundation for a new reality. Speak them daily, with commitment and belief.
  • When you truly decide on success, the universe moves quickly. Be prepared for shifts, even if they initially seem challenging.
  • Mindset alone isn’t enough—take action on the opportunities that show up.
  • Trust the process. Even setbacks are part of aligning you with your true success.
