ANECDOTE

Listener Who Returned After 'Rubbing Them Wrong'

  • James shares a listener who stopped then returned because the host 'rubbed them wrong' but they changed, not him.
  • He uses the story to justify 'repulsion marketing' that repels mismatched listeners.
ADVICE

Join Help Only When You're Ready

  • If you're not ready to do real work, seek help later when you can commit; timing matters more than having a quick fix.
  • Join communities like the Inner Circle when you are prepared to implement consistently.
ADVICE

Stop Playing The Victim

  • Avoid a victim mentality by reframing events as happening for you, not to you, and take purposeful action.
  • If you stay in victim mode, outside help (including James) won't be effective.
