Brokers of Secrets #10: The Hidden Loops Behind Success, Self-Sabotage, and Subconscious Programming
Recurring setbacks aren’t just bad luck or poor discipline, but a subconscious program running on autopilot. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam unpacks the psychological “loop” , a hidden, recurring pattern that drives cycles of success followed by collapse across all aspects of life. These loops are not random. They are encoded into your unconscious through early childhood imprinting, social conditioning, and generational trauma. Without realizing it, most people repeat the same emotional cycles such as overworking only to burn out or attracting the same toxic partners, but there is a way out.
William reveals how to diagnose your personal loop, decode the secondary emotional gains behind it, and reprogram your subconscious mind from a win/lose or pain/pleasure cycle into a “win or win more” reality. He introduces two powerful tools, the Loop Quiz and the 7-Day Sprint, to help you uncover your loop and permanently break free.Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a high performer, or someone ready to stop reliving the same frustrations year after year, this episode offers a transformative roadmap to reclaiming agency over your life
