Mindedly is not a word. Perhaps you need to pick a field whose lexicon you have the capacity to employ.

Well, nevertheless, you get the point, don't you?

On its own, perhaps not, but the meaning of the sentence "He pursued his goal single-mindedly" is exactly equivalent to "He pursued his goal with single-mindedness" and "He was single-minded in the pursuit of his goal". In the first instance "single-minded" is used as an adverb; in the second, as a noun in a prepositional phrase; and in the third, as an adjective. All three are grammatically correct
