Been thinking about this lately and wanted to share in case it helps anyone here... so for the longest time i was consuming everything. podcasts, courses, mentorship calls, books... learning constantly. but my actual business results? barely moved for several years, just stayed stagnated. took me way too long to realize i was treating an internal problem like an external one. heres what i mean... theres basically two types of stuck. i call them BOULDERS and FOG. boulders are external obstacles. real barriers. you push harder, you get results. more effort = more progress. fog is internal. limiting beliefs, fear, mindset stuff. and heres the thing... you cant push through fog. pushing harder just exhausts you. the trap most of us fall into is we keep adding more tactics, more strategies, more hours when the actual problem is we cant see clearly the symptom that tells you its fog? effort isnt producing proportional results. youre working 60+ hours but people with seemingly less effort are getting better outcomes. thats usually a sign. for me it was the belief that i was "smaller" than I am - long story short, I grew up in a third world country run by a dictator for 24 years, couple with an overly critical and punitive father, and that gave me a shame-based self identity of smallness for a very long time. I wasnt even aware it was running my decisions until i really looked at it once i spotted that the issue wasnt more information or better tactics but something i couldnt see because i was IN it... everything shifted what actually helped: stopped and asked is this fog or boulder? if effort isnt working its probably fog got external perspective. others can see what you cant see when youre inside the fog. this community is good for that tbh traced the belief back. where did i first learn this? usually childhood. does that source deserve to run my business decisions today? usually no lol gave myself permission to try the easier path. sounds dumb but some of us literally cant let ourselves succeed without suffering first

Goodnight everyone I am here for a breakthrough in my life honestly! I’m saying it openly

Share below! We'd love to hear any lessons on shedding this pattern, and any benefits from having shed this pattern. For many of us, this pattern started early—learning that to be loved, valued, or safe, we had to please others first. Sometimes it meant becoming the "good one," the agreeable one, the one who keeps the peace. Sometimes it meant abandoning our own needs, desires, and truth to make others comfortable. Here's what we're curious about: - What was the moment (or gradual realization) that made us finally stop? - Who did we think we had to be to receive love or validation? - What did choosing authenticity over approval actually look like for us? The shift often happens when we realize: it's not our responsibility to "fix" or "please" others. Our real responsibility is to show up as our authentic selves—even when it feels uncomfortable, even when it risks disapproval. Being real and having the courage to express who we truly are? That's where real connection lives. That's where our power returns. Drop your story in the comments. What pattern did you break, and how did breaking it change your life? 👇 P.S. If releasing people-pleasing and other emotional blocks feels like a journey you're ready to deepen, check out Mental Health Resolver in the Classroom—it's designed specifically to help us break free from these patterns and step into authentic power.

In this video, which I made for Steve but is relevant to many of us... I share my personal journey with financial struggles and the internal barriers that had made it difficult for me to achieve financial stability. I discuss how my upbringing and past experiences shaped my feelings of worthlessness and insecurity, leading me to chase money for validation. Through self-reflection and acceptance, I learned that true healing comes from understanding and embracing my wounds and challenges as step 1, rather than trying to fix them with quick techniques as a bypass. I encourage you to explore your own inner work and recognize that growth is a challenging but necessary process. I hope my story resonates with you and inspires deeper self-exploration.

Hi wonderful RTA community! I just wished to share a very important win and breakthrough for me. As some of you may know, I was born and raised in Kenya and I really wanted to get out - just to be honest. In fact, when I was born, Kenya had just become independent 10 years before. And so I was born under the very first president of Kenya. At my age of 3, he died and his deputy, the vice president, became the new president. There was no election; it just happened, and he was the dictator of Kenya for 24 years. So, for the first 27 years of my life, I lived in a third-world country, most of it under dictatorship. In addition to that, I had a good childhood which was also marred by traumatizing events over its entire course, resulting in C-PTSD (which I since overcame, hency why I have a huge respect for mental health). Anyways, because of that, and other factors, I just wanted to get out of Kenya. And so, it's been a long journey. Getting Australian permanent residency was extremely difficult. Now, just for clarity, I also lived in the United States. I made it to the U.S. and I lived in Florida for a few years. I've been all over the world, all 5 continents. I've even been to the Arctic Circle, I've spent time in Europe, America, South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, The Far East like China and Hong Kong, Oceania, New Zealand, Australia - all those. I've been to all of them, but I just love Australia from the bottom of my heart; it feels home for me. And so, it was really important for me to become a Permanent Resident, and that journey was very difficult and it took me about 13 years to get it. But through some very cool manifesting, mental health, and other techniques, I legally qualified as a permanent resident. And now, today, I have passed the citizenship test (which to be honest was the easiest part of the whole process). The citizenship test was super easy; the rest of the process was very difficult. Anyways, I wished to share and celebrate that win with you. For me, it was one of the main things I wished to manifest, and today I can say I've got it! That's wonderful, so thank you, and I wish all of you the best journeys in your manifestings!
