You're about to waste another year.

Not because you're lazy. Not because you lack talent. Not because the timing is wrong.

Because you're half-in.

This week, I'm going to show you something most people never see: the prison they've been living in.

I call it the one-foot-in prison.

One foot in what you say you want. One foot ready to bail when things get uncomfortable. Never failing (that would be too obvious). Never succeeding (that would require real commitment). Just... existing. In the middle. Numb.

I spent five years in this prison. Building a "business" that never got built. Making promises I broke every single day. Watching my wife work full-time while I called scrolling "research."

Until she told me to move out.

That woke me up. I hope you don't need something that drastic.

This week, I'll show you:

If you're tired of "working on things" that never go anywhere—pay attention this week.

The door isn't locked. It never was.

Done negotiating.
