Let's be real. Most people are pawns in the larger game, pouring money down the drain on marketing tactics that are worthless 12 months from now. You're on a hamster wheel, and the people selling you the next "secret" are laughing all the way to the bank.
They're selling you tricks. Not the actual skill. The human brain hasn't changed in 10,000 years. If anything, people are more predictable than ever.
Julius Caesar didn't have a sales funnel; he turned enemies into loyalists because he understood people. Alexander the Great wasn't a conqueror to those he invaded, he was a savior. Steve Jobs didn't do anything better than IBM, he counterpositioned.
This is the skill that gives you the power to build empires and fortunes.
Stop being a pawn.
Stop being played.
Stop learning skills that expire.
Start building the MOST RELIABLE PERMANENT ASSET that works in any economy, in any conversation, for the rest of your life.
Build it once. Get paid forever.
Or keep chasing shiny objects.
Your choice.
