So what was the problem?
Well, it turned out that getting customers wasn’t as easy as I believed.
The plan said: cold call local businesses, book meetings, sign clients.
I did exactly that.
And it didn’t work.
At all.
At first, I was afraid of cold calling — but I faced that fear.
Eventually it wasn’t a problem anymore.
I got meetings.
I pitched.
But every time I was this close to signing my first client...they said no.
It seemed like something was sabotaging me.
I followed the instructions laid out by my mentors step-by-step.
I did everything "right."
But I had 0 clients.
And after 6 months of struggle, I decided to close my first company.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Looking back at it now, I know that I'd make it work — with the mindset and skills I have today.
So what was sabotaging me?
That's what I want to teach you today.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
I realised something very powerful in the last couple of years.
There are two mindsets when it comes to achieving your goals:
1)
Chasing
2)
Attracting
Write this down:
Chasing your goals doesn’t work. Attracting does.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
What is chasing?
It's choosing something you want (good start)...
...but wanting it so badly that you'd do anything to get it.
You obsess over it.
You put it on a pedestal.
You become desperate.
You want it really bad.
So what happens when you chase?
The thing you want runs away.
The energy you give off repels it.
This is exactly what happened with my first business.
I wanted clients so badly that I acted like a drowning man.
And you know what?
They could smell it.
They saw my insecurity.
They felt my fear.
They knew I wanted them more than I valued myself.
You never get the things you chase.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
What about attracting?
Attracting is choosing the thing you want...
...and then turning inward.
It’s imaging you have already achieved your goal and then asking yourself 2 questions:
What kind of person achieves this goal? (Patient? Hardworking? Disciplined? Fit? Confident?)
What can I do to become this type of person?
It’s about focusing on building yourself into somebody who naturally gets what you want.
When you attract you aren’t desperate.
You are grateful, calm and grounded.
You know it's coming.
It's inevitable.
It’s a fact. There’s no if, when or maybe.
Because the truth about our universe is quite simple.
If you are exactly the type of person that has a successful career, guess what?
You will have a successful career.
If you are exactly the type of person that has an attractive partner, you will have an attractive partner.
If you are exactly the type of person that owns a Ferrari, you will own a Ferrari.
Period.
You can debate it all you want.
If you don’t have it...
You're simply not yet the caliber of person who gets it.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
That's why my third (current) business works.
It’s not because of the business idea.
It’s because of who I've become.
I’m not that desperate, insecure, awkward teenager trying to sign a customer anymore.
I’m a mature, professional business owner who builds great products that customers want.
I don't chase.
I attract customers by default.
Just this week, I had to reject 5 people who wanted to become my clients.
I have more people that want to work with me than I can take on.
Because I became the type of person who gets the things I want.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
And you can too.
Here’s how:
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
5-Step Manifestation
Pick ONE thing that you want.
More than one will make your power of manifestation weaker.
Go to your future-self who has already achieved that goal and describe that person in details.
How do they walk?
How do they think?
How do they speak?
How do they work?
How do they smell?
What kind of clothes do they wear?
Who do they date?
What kind of people do they associate with?
What kind of books do they read?
What do they do for fun?
How do they view money?
etc.
The more detail the better.
You can have a big, expensive plane, but if one system doesn’t work it won’t fly.
Your greatness is in those details.
Pick ONE trait from that future self.
Example: „They're fit”
Ask yourself: What is the closest action you can take today to embody that trait?
Of course, it’s working out.
If you don’t know what the action is then google it, it’s free.
Don’t be a victim, if you don’t know something educate yourself.
Do that one action — until it becomes a part of your identity. A part of who you are.
You're no longer someone who works out. You're a person who is fit.
Repeat — until you get the thing you want.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
This is actually how you level up and achieve your goals.
Not by chasing, whining, or obsessing.
But by sculpting yourself into the person who has what you want and creating the best version of yourself.
