This Week's Activation...

You’ve been setup to fail… until now.
Step up, it is your time.

Read time: 5 minutes

You’ve been setup to fail… until now.

If you’ve ever wondered why some people thrive:

Living adventurously, making a lot of money, and full of happiness.

While others survive:

Stressed out, trapped on the hamster wheel, and watching everyone else win.

You aren't alone.

Most people are doomed from the start.

You were never taught how to win this game.

Not by your parents. Not by school. Not by your job. Not even by the personal development world.

In fact if you’re anything like me:

They put you at a disadvantage.

Think about it.

If the general public doesn’t have the results, abundance, and lifestyle you want…

…how could they set you up for success?

We’re told that “winning” is about going through the motions…

…show up each day, work hard, and one distant day you’ll make it…

…but if that were true, you’d already be further ahead.

I have some bad news:

You are operating on broken systems given to you by broken people.

This is why the norm is to be stuck in cycles of:

• Getting in your own way
• Constant busyness, but little real progress
• Never-ending to-do lists and mental fatigue
• Overthinking and second-guessing every decision
• Numbing out with vices to cope with burnout and “being behind”

Let's dive in shall we?

The operating systems running (or ruining) your life

Every person has two operating systems.

Like your phone, or computer - you and your life are operated by systems running in the background.

Internal Operating System (IOS) - Your Programming

• “Your Mindset”.
• Self image.
• Belief system.
• Thoughts and emotions.

External Operating System (EOS) - Your Processes

• “Your Behavior”.
• Routines and habits.
• Strategies and plans.

And when those systems are misaligned…

…no amount of hard work, patience, or motivational videos will help.

Again:

Most people (you and I included) are running a
hand-me-down operating system.

Given to us by parents in survival mode.

By a school system made to create worker bees.

By a society created to keep you small.

So your Internal OS (Programming) is cluttered with:

• An identity formed by survival, not expansion
• Limiting beliefs about money, self-worth, and success
• Thoughts that repeat on autopilot and sabotage progress
• Emotions you were never taught to feel - let alone understand

While your External OS (Processes) is a chaotic mess of:

• Reactive to-do lists
• Unsustainable routines
• Shiny-object chasing masked as strategy
• A productivity system built on guilt, not clarity

That’s why life feels like a grind…

…and you keep saying“I should be further ahead by now.”

• You’re not lazy - you’re overloaded with friction.
• You’re not broken - you have hidden beliefs holding you back.
• You’re not incapable - you aren’t supported by the right behavior.

Your operating system is the problem.

Upgrade your OS, upgrade your reality

The good news?

You can upgrade both systems fast…

…when you have the right tools and guidance.

This week I ran a workshop about the 3 Invisible Mistakes keeping people like us stuck...

...and how to break through them fast.

We went over exactly how to do it.

This is also what I teach inside my private client mastermind The Activation Academy.

It’s about alignment alongside achievement…

...structure without self-sabotage…

...and finally creating abundance without losing your freedom in the process.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and build a system that works for you:

Just reply “OS” and I’ll send over details on how we can work together.

For now...

Try this simple exercise to help you improve your Operating Systems

Take 5 minutes and reflect:

1. Internal OS: What belief or mental pattern keeps showing up and holding me back?
2. External OS: Where is my time leaking? Where do I lack structure?

Pick ONE upgrade for each this week:

• Internal: “I choose to focus on my progress over perfection.”
• External: “I’ll block out 90 minutes a day for focused work.”

Small shifts in your systems create massive changes in your results.

“ The system you follow is perfectly designed to give you the results you’re getting. — James Clear

Step up, it is your time

I’ve been on my edge for some time.

A few years ago - I began leaving behind my old life in a fiery blaze.

• A business earning me $250k / year.
• An ex partner of almost 8 years.
• The state I grew up in.
• My birth name.

On this journey of losing everything…

…I found my calling and true purpose.

I’ve taken risk, after risk, after risk.

Faced setback, after setback, after setback.

And never once did I give up my hope.

“I can do this. No matter what I will not quit.”

This last weekend I found myself asking for a sign.

“Please God, help me to renew my commitment - it’s getting harder and I am afraid.”

I meditated with some sacred tobacco, and then pulled an oracle card called “Arise”.

The message was right on time:

“Step up. It is your time.

You dare to love where others only see pain.

You dare to believe that everything will somehow work out where others see only what they judge to be wrong.

Don’t lose heart, beloved wild child.

Dare to believe!

You are right to do so.

It is the divine rebel in you that refuses to surrender hope.

You are filled with holy fire and you shall prevail.”

I sobbed when I read this.

Ask and you shall receive.

No matter what…

…I’ll never give up

✅ My Win: Manifestations materializing.

The vision I have held in my heart and mind is bearing fruit.

My community is growing. I am growing on social media. The message is taking shape.

It was only a matter of time.

❌ My Challenge: As shared above - I was being tested and felt discouraged.

What I am working on

In my personal life: Abundance is my birthright.

I've been doing a 21 day Meditation from Deepak Chopra - and reading books to improve my relationship with abundance.

Calling in all the prosperity, peace, and love.

In my professional life: Workshoppin'.

My second workshop The 3 Invisible Mistakes Keeping High-Achievers Stuck (And How to Break Through Fast) was this week.

If you want the replay - click here.

Plan to do one every two weeks for now to give back.

In my financial life: Making up for my mistakes.

As a way to make myself feel less shitty about some past decisions with money...

...I've been making videos sharing the lessons I learned the hard way.

You can watch them (and others) here.

Curious how your week is?

See you next week and as always...

Rooting for you 💪
