Home / Shit You Can Buy From Me / Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma’am -- A Smarter You, A Better Life In Just 20 Minutes A Day
I’m aiming for a “zero fluff” factor. That doesn’t mean I won’t go off on weirdly-entertaining-profanity-filled tangents now and then, but it’s ‘cuz that’s just who I am – not because I’m trying to dodge sharing all my secrets or pad five minutes worth of content out so it takes up an hour. I won’t waste your time eating up half a lesson or podcast with self-promotion or giving shout-outs to “who’s on the call” or any of that crap. (Drives me CRAZY when folks do that in the name of “educational” marketing!)
While I do love to wax philosophical about living an authentic bullshit-toleration-free life, I’m also HEAVY into practical application — that means lots of real-life examples and hands-on action steps in each lesson. It also means homework. Just sitting around thinking about what you want to change isn’t good enough – you have to get up off your ass and take action. IMMEDIATELY. While you’re in this motivated space.
You’re also going to have to take a frigging quiz at the end of each lesson to move on to the next lesson. (There’s no passing or failing grade, I just want to see if you’ve been able to make these principles your own.) Yes, you’re going to have to do work. I would apologize, but you’re gonna thank me for it when you walk away from that lesson having actually finally frigging accomplished that task you’re been stuck on for the last ever.
Learning is a continuous process — it’s not like you do it once and you’re finished. Every minute, you’re a different person experiencing different life circumstances than you were the minute before. That’s true next year and the year after and every year until the day you die. At every point along your journey, there’s always an opportunity to move to the next level, whatever that level is. I’ve designed these lessons so you can return to them again and again, at different stages in your life and as you tackle different issues.
Understand this – you’re learning a new skill. It may be hard. It may be frustrating. You’re most likely going to suck at it the first time through. But the more you do it, the better you’re going to get. The easier it will be, and the more rewarding.
If you get lost along the way, don’t beat yourself up – just go back and re-watch that video. Re-read the supplemental materials. Repetition is the mother of absorption. Some of this is complex stuff, and it may take a few passes to sink in. That doesn’t mean you’re stupid – it means you’re human.
I may reference something we’ve already covered in a previous lesson with some sort of a clue like, “Hey you should remember how to do this from [some point earlier on].” If you do actually remember, that’s awesome! If you don’t, no sweat – just go back and review that lesson again.
If find yourself feeling stuck, please reach out and touch someone (meaning me) before you get frustrated and give up. I’m here to help – ask and you shall receive.
DIY uploaded to teaching marketplaces (if you prefer to learn at your own speed, you don’t do well with external constraints, and the idea of following someone else’s schedule makes your brain immediately say “fuck you!” and shut down — if you’re self-motivated, the kind who has a new book read-with-relevant-information-highlighted-notes-broken-into-action-steps-and-plugged-into-your-calendar an hour after you’ve brought the damn thing home, then freak-of-nature-that-you-area you actually DO what you say you’re gonna when you say you will)
DIWR planned multi-week event (if you like having a more support, folks to bounce thoughts off of — somebody else laying out the plan cracking the whip, keeping you on track — if you have a history of enrolling in programs, getting busy/distracted, never completing them, and then beating yourself up for years afterward about the money and opportunity you wasted — if you’re the kind to be super-enthusiastic-possibly-to-the-point-of-crazed-and-obsessive at the start of a program, so you download the course materials all in one big “whump,” dig in hard and try to do every lesson in like a day, get overwhelmed and have to walk away for sanity’s sake, never make it the rest of the way through, then beat yourself up for years afterward about the money and opportunity you wasted)
I will personally review all of your homework submissions and provide you with feedback — recognition of areas where you’re headed in the right direction, ways of expanding on that concept that you might not have considered, potential pitfalls you might want to be aware of, and suggestions for overcoming obstacles that could get in your way.
