The Matrix turns everything upside down. It gets you to offer your power to things outside of yourself and then spend your days trying to get it back.
The content game is an excellent example. Look at all of the people chasing attention. They think they are winning when they get some. The truth is, they are spending their days focusing their energy on things they don’t control.
This is the definition of insanity. We didn’t just discover this. We’ve known it for many generations. If your mind isn’t capable of recognizing it, your body surely is. The body doesn’t lie. It tells you the truth whether or not you want to hear it, whether or not you want to believe it. If you ignore your body, it’ll eventually come back with something you can’t ignore.
You can’t make someone listen. You can only provide something worth listening TO. That’s what you control. But that’s not how we’re trained. We’re trained to become emotionally attached to outcomes beyond our control. This is a form of invisible slavery.
If you want to take your business to the next level, stop allowing yourself to do this. Get a better strategy than that. Your strategy is what directs your focus. The focus isn’t on the actual thing you want to achieve (e.g. money), it’s on something much bigger where the byproduct of that is money: solving a problem.
This ability to structure the business journey correctly allows you to figure out how to make the thing you focus on SOMETHING YOU ACTUALLY CONTROL.
This makes all the difference.
Business isn’t guessing or gambling. Although those things probably have a higher chance of success than following the herd. That’s a surefire way to fail.
Getting more views on your video or more followers is the Matrix trap. If you play stupid games, don’t be surprised when the prizes show up and you realize you wasted all that energy for something meaningless…like an entire business built on a platform someone else owns.
