Are you tired of chasing shiny objects?
I’ve been on a personal journey over the past decade to master my biology, unlock my chaotic mind, and tap into the potential I feel inside…
And to be honest, it’s been a hard journey.
I mean, there’s a LOT of information out there about how to become a peak performer.
Some of it is great…
A lot of it, though… not so much.
My journey involved a lot of trial and error… lots of ups-and-downs and countless false starts…
But with time, I gradually zeroed in on the systems, frameworks, and routines that reliably worked to help me overcome procrastination, cut through distractions, and get shit done.
And I’ve put it all into 40 simple videos that’ll help you unleash supercharged focus on-command.
Over 1,800 students have gone through the Hyperfocus Masterclass and the feedback has been incredible.
If you struggle with ADHD like me…
Or just really suck at resisting distractions (like most people)…
Then you should definitely check this out.
7 Lies We’re Told About The World
(on business, money, and personal development)
1. The Focus Lie
You don’t have a focus problem.
Proof:
You could easily binge Netflix for hours.
The truth:
You have a focus management problem.
We are dopamine seeking missiles incapable of sitting with boredom for more than 15 minutes.
The result is as Blaise Pascal pointed out:
“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
2. The Lie of Enough
We tell ourselves:
I’ll be happy when I…
- Make more money
- Buy that fancy car
- Move into that amazing house
- Find the partner of my dreams
The truth:
There is no escaping The Hedonic Treadmill.
All you can change is what you’re walking towards.
In my experience, there’s only one thing worth walking towards:
(and it’s not happiness)
It’s purpose.
3. The Consumer Lie
The world is on a quest to make everything:
- Easier
- Quicker
- More Convenient
Our lives are filled with hyper-caloric food and entertainment lulling us into states of satiation.
And yet, we feel empty despite lives that are so full.
The reason?
You cannot consume your way to fulfillment.
It can only be created.
Consume Less. Create More.
4. The Thinking Lie
Most of us will have around 70,000 thoughts today…
And yet very few truly understand what they think on any given topic.
Even fewer will have any genuine insights.
The truth:
Most people don’t know how to direct their chaotic mind’s energy.
To focus it in a useful direction.
The result:
Motion without Progress.
5. The Lie of the Exceptional
The world is run by idiots who work very hard to convince you they are remarkable.
Of the ones who truly are remarkable, most achieved their success through nothing more than discipline, luck, and time.
You are not an impostor.
None of us belong here.
6. The Friendship Lie
You have fewer friends than you realize.
Most are simply acquaintances.
Friends are the people you call when the world is crumbling around you…
And they always answer.
Five good friends can last a lifetime.
Quality over quantity.
7. The Lie of the Best
You probably cannot be the best at any one thing.
It’s so mathematically improbable as to be impossible.
But that’s okay…
Because the goal isn’t to be The Best.
It’s simply to be Better.
And Better has no finish line.
