I want to give a shout out to Tristan, one of my clients, who made a big move this week. He's travelled to Mexico, on his own, to challenge many of his comfort zone boundaries. One is speaking Spanish - he only has a little bit of Spanish, and is pushing himself to speak to locals. The other is travellling on his own - the proper no-luxury style - and having to solve all the problems of being in a foreign country. I can speak from experience in saying pushing yourself to speak a new language that you're not comfortable with in a deep immersion like this takes a LOT of courage, especially when you have a history of social anxiety in your own country with your comfortable language! And travelling on your own is a right of passage I recommend to anyone wanting to prove themselves to themselves. This trip is the culmination of many months of hard work developing his values and pushing past his fears. Congrats Tristan!

Something I've noticed in many of my clients is a fear of what they might call divine justice. This manifests as a fear of success. They are worried that if they do well, it will "all be taken away". It's like succeeding somehow calls attention to them and provokes god or the universe into vengeance. Many of them were raised to believe that doing better than others is something you should feel guilty for, whether it's having physical advantages, wealth, or academic ability. Their solution is to suffer. While they succeed, they use pressure and stress and the "I'm not good enough" story to ensure they don't enjoy their successes. This is their tactic to avoiding provoking the punishment of the universe, like they're saying, "See? I don't need punishment because I'm already in pain. Please don't take it all away!" Anyone else relate to this?

Most people believe they need to feel motivated before taking action. But that belief is one of the biggest traps holding you back from building confidence, breaking free from procrastination, and living with integrity. Think about it—every day you do dozens of things you don’t feel like doing: brushing your teeth, going to work, exercising, handling responsibilities. You already know how to act without motivation. Yet when it comes to the harder stuff—setting boundaries, chasing goals, facing fears—we tell ourselves we need the “right mood” first. That lie is keeping you stuck. In this video, I’ll break down why motivation is unreliable, why waiting for the right feeling is a form of self-sabotage, and how you can create a life of zero procrastination by learning to act without needing motivation. The secret? Action creates motivation, not the other way around. Once you move, momentum follows. If you’re a Nice Guy or people-pleaser trying to build confidence, this might be the mindset shift you need to finally break through. 👉 Question for you: What’s one thing you’ve been putting off because you “don’t feel like it”? Drop your answer in the comments—I’ll be replying to as many as I can. Watch the video below Brotherhood members: make sure you check out the latest updates to the courses

Hey guys, I'm travelling in Portugal until end of next week, so my posting in here will be less than usual. Please keep the conversation going without me, and I'll jump in when I can. Also, Skool just added a new live call feature, so I'll find a way to put that to use! Cheers Dan
