"I like my work."
Though you secretly hate it.

You think money is your path to freedom...but your rental properties, gym franchises, and extra vacation days never launch your dreams. It's time for honesty. Have your moment in the mirror. Cry out the suppressed pain. Let it all go. Clear space for something new. Choose yourself, your talents, your family. Imagine... In 6 weeks, work lightens. You handle it with ease, like Peter from Office Space. Colleagues respect your zen calm. You're always smiling. A promotion finds you. Your employer becomes your investor.

Guiding your own company, making a difference for clients. No more nights and weekends tied to the office. Health and vitality surge through you. You'll thrive well past 100. You model self-direction and abundance for family, showing them "scarcity and conformity don’t belong here.” This transformation is possible.
