Alchemy’s true purpose wasn’t gold—it was this (and it still works)

Alchemy’s true purpose wasn’t gold—it was this (and it still works)

March 06, 20255 min read

Did you know?

Isaac Newton, widely regarded as one of history's greatest scientific minds, spent over 30 years of his life obsessively studying alchemy…

It's true.

The same man who revolutionized physics and mathematics was captivated by the ancient practice of transformation.

But Newton wasn't alone...

For centuries, alchemists across civilizations… from ancient Egypt to medieval Europe to imperial China…

…dedicated their lives to a mysterious process they called:

"The Great Work."

On the surface, they appeared to be pursuing a single goal… transforming base metals like lead into gold.

But the true alchemists knew something deeper was happening.

They weren't just experimenting with physical substances.

They were working with the very fabric of transformation itself.

The ancient alchemical texts spoke of a mysterious substance called the "Philosopher's Stone"

Not an actual stone, but a powder or elixir with the power to perfect any substance it touched.

With it, not only could lead become gold, but the imperfect could become perfect.

The mortal could become immortal.

The limited could become limitless.

At its core, alchemy wasn't about getting rich...

It was about the fundamental principle that anything… no matter how common or flawed—could be elevated to its highest potential through a systematic process of transformation.

So what does this ancient practice have to do with your business in 2025?

Everything.

Because the gap between where you are now and where you want to be isn't about working harder or running more ads or hiring more people.

It's about transformation.

Specifically, the transformation of your self-image… your internal identity that dictates every decision you make, every risk you take, and every ceiling you hit in your business.

Think about it…

When you look in the mirror, do you see a 7 or 8-figure CEO who naturally attracts massive success?

Or do you see someone who's constantly grinding, forever chasing the next level but never quite getting there?

Your honest answer reveals your current "alchemical state…"

And explains exactly why you're getting your current results.

This isn't abstract theory.

It's practical neuroscience.

Your brain has a network called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) that filters millions of bits of information every second…

Showing you only what aligns with your deeply held beliefs about yourself and the world.

If your self-image is set to "20K/month entrepreneur," your RAS will:

  • Filter OUT opportunities that could take you to 100K/month

  • Filter IN evidence that confirms you're a "20K/month person"

  • Trigger self-sabotage whenever you start exceeding that self-image

It's like having an invisible thermostat that keeps reverting your business back to your identity set-point, no matter how hard you work to change it.

That's why today's struggling entrepreneur implementing the exact same strategies as today's thriving entrepreneur will get completely different results.

Same external actions.

Different internal identity.

The good news?

Just like the alchemists discovered systematic processes for transformation, there is a step-by-step method for transforming your self-image.

It's not about positive thinking or vision boards or generic affirmations.

It's about a neurological rewiring that changes who you are at the deepest level, creating an identity that naturally attracts and sustains 7 and 8-figure success.

And today at 12pm EST, I'm hosting the NEW Self-Image Alchemy Workshop where I'll guide you through this transformation process step by step.

You'll create a complete 7-page "2025 Self-Image Alchemy Folder" that will serve as your personal transformation blueprint, including:

  1. Your 2025 Self Manifesto (North Star): The clear vision that will guide every decision you make

  2. Your 2025 New Self (Identity): The detailed blueprint of who you must become

  3. Your 2025 Self Story/Narrative: The empowering new story that replaces limiting beliefs

  4. Your 2025 Self-Character Traits: The specific qualities you'll embody going forward

  5. Your 2025 Goal: Crystal-clear targets aligned with your new identity

  6. Affirmations, Incantations & Visualizations… Tools for reinforcing your transformation daily

But we'll go beyond just creating this blueprint...

Using techniques derived from NLP, self-hypnosis, and cutting-edge performance psychology, I'll help you actually INSTALL this new identity at the neurological level.

This is the same process I've used with clients like Sam Ovens (who scaled from 1M to 3M/month)...

And dozens of other entrepreneurs who have quantum leaped their results after transforming their identity.

There are a few spots available for today's live workshop.

Will you be one of the alchemists who transforms their business today?
