@Tim Adam This hit. Because people love to romanticize the “quit your job and go all in” moment… but what actually creates longevity is exactly what you named: one clear inner yes, one outer believer, and the willingness to build from that tiny foundation even when the path is foggy. For me, the pivotal lesson has always been this: It’s not about having no fear — it’s about having one person who reflects your future self back to you when you can’t see her yet.That kind of support is rocket fuel. And the part people overlook? You still have to choose yourself daily, even with a Christina in your corner. That’s the difference between a brave leap and an 18-year legacy. I’m all in for 2026 — but with intention, not adrenaline. As for my go-to support: I have a small circle of people who don’t flinch at my biggest visions and don’t let me shrink when it’s inconvenient. Those are the ones who keep the mission clean. Curious — what was the first sign, back in 2007, that confirmed you made the right decision?

@Daniel Perez This is such an important conversation, because most people think “difficult clients” are a sales problem… when really, they’re a nervous-system and expectation-setting problem. In my experience, clients don’t follow direction for three core reasons: 1. They’re overwhelmed, not resistant. If the instructions feel emotionally heavy, ambiguous, or like they might expose a weakness, their system shuts down.Clarity isn’t enough — you need safety. **2. They don’t understand the why. People follow instructions when they feel meaning, not pressure.The moment they know how a step directly serves their desire, compliance skyrockets. 3. They’re trying to protect an identity. Sometimes the work requires them to become someone new… and the old self fights to stay in charge. That shows up as avoidance, inconsistency, or “I’ll do it later.” How I handle it: • I simplify the action.If they can’t do the step, the step is too big. I shrink it until it becomes doable. • I mirror their desire back to them. “Remember, you said you want X — this step is the bridge.” People follow themselves more easily than they follow us. • I normalize the resistance. When a client stops making their resistance wrong, they stop hiding from it. • I remove the moral weight. It's not “you’re not listening,” it’s “your system is protecting you — let’s update the strategy so it doesn’t need to.” Most “difficult clients” aren’t difficult — they’re disregulated, unclear, or ashamed to admit they’re stuck. Handle those pieces… and people start following direction because they trust the path and themselves. Curious: in your experience, what’s the most common point of resistance people hit?

@Dr. Bryan Raya One of the biggest shifts I made was realizing that sales conversations don’t start with talking about the offer… they start with helping people articulate their own desire clearly. Most people walk around with vague pain and vague dreams. When your content or prompts help them name something with precision, they instantly see you as the person who understands them better than they understand themselves. Here’s the prompt that consistently sparks meaningful, sales-leading conversations in my community: “What’s the moment you realized you can’t keep doing it the old way?” People answer that with emotion, context, and honesty. And from there, the natural follow-up becomes: • What have you tried since then? • What’s actually shifting? • What support would make the biggest difference right now? Those aren’t sales questions… but they open the exact doorway where your offer is the logical next step. My rule of thumb: Create conversations that reveal the gap. Then offer the bridge. It feels human, not pushy — and it leads to buyers who are more committed, more ready, and more aligned. Curious what others are finding inside their communities too.
