She stopped working weekends—then this happened
Let’s wrap up this series with one more email…
Alright, I shared something on the final day of the workshop that stunned the room into silence…
One participant, a high-performing lawyer, revealed…
"I started making more money in my law business when I started showing up more in my body."
She explained…
"Friday evening into Saturday, every one of my family members knows… don't even try to get me on the phone.
I am sleeping,
I am resting,
I am being quiet,
I am doing NOTHING."
The results?
"I feel like my entire body resets. I can literally start my workday on Sunday and be one step ahead of the game."
This revelation sparked a powerful discussion about the missing ingredient in most entrepreneurs' success formulas…
Strategic recovery.
You see, in my years working with elite entrepreneurs, I've noticed a fascinating pattern…
The clients who scale to 1M+ months don't just have better strategies… they have better recovery systems.
Take Sam Ovens (who scaled to 3M/month)...
When I first started working with him, he was in terrible shape… waking at 10am, working until 2-3am, surviving on terrible nutrition, and getting violently ill every 6-8 weeks.
This cycle is far more common than you'd think.
Another client (making 200-300K/month) wasn't getting enough work done during the day.
So she'd skip her evening wind-down, work until 11pm, go to bed stimulated from screen time, sleep poorly, wake up unfocused, get less done the next day... and repeat the cycle.
This led to burnout, loss of motivation, and the frantic search for the "next shiny object."
But here's the breakthrough realization…
It was never about the business strategy failing.
Her body and brain were simply running on empty.
And only one simple shift changed everything for her… setting boundaries.
As I shared with the group… "Your work expands to the time you give it.
If you're running your own business, you know you could be working 24/7 every week, and there's still more to do.
There's never a moment where you're like…
'You know what?
There is NOTHING at all to do.'"
So setting artificial limits… like a firm end to your workday, consistent mealtimes, and dedicated days off.
Creates the psychological pressure needed to perform at your peak during focused work periods.
To demonstrate this principle, I had everyone stand up, put their left hand on their heart, raise their right hand, and declare…
"I hereby commit to maintaining peak physical and mental performance.
Taking consistent daily action toward my goals.
Breaking through any obstacles that arise.
Being unstoppable in my pursuit of success."
(You can do this on your own as well)
The energy in the room transformed.
Each participant left with not just a business plan, but a performance system to ensure their inevitable success.
Because what’s the point if you’re burning yourself out into an early grave.
This should be fun.
Now if you're ready to transform your mindset, energy and performance to reach new levels of success…

P.S. During our closing visualization exercise, I guided participants to "see their seven-figure self implementing everything they've learned with ease and grace."
Then I had them "jump into the movie screen" and literally embody that version of themselves. This powerful technique is just one of many you'll experience in the Self-Image Alchemy Workshop on March 27th.
