Here you are again... building skills and knowledge.
You've worked through many cycles.
But of instead of profound change, you only get incremental improvement.
So you dig deeper, refine it, and continue to add.

and you're FINALLY beginning to notice this fact...

Not by learning Facebook ads, cold email, sales, drop-shipping, ecomm, or whatever's hot.

Reduction of what?
Take a look at your test results.
The reason you are where you are today is because of the biases and preferences you've built up all your life.
They compound.
These biases and preferences become your limiting beliefs.
They limit you to what you're comfortable doing.

Understand this:
You cannot expect profound change without changing profoundly.

You've become married to these beliefs.
Take each of your letters and reflect on the opposite.
Prove me wrong:
If you were less like your preferences, you would take a massive leap toward your goal.
Really.
Think about it.

If you're introverted, you're avoiding that phone call - pick up that phone and start dialing.
How big of a difference would that make?
If you're Intuitive (N), give yourself some rules and structure - maybe set an alarm clock and schedule out your day.
Scary. I know.

If you're a thinker (T), lean less on logic - meditate and take time to understand your emotions.
No it's not a waste of time.
If you're (J) slow down, there may be better options you're overlooking.

"But I'm supposed to leverage my strengths"

- Less tactics
- Fewer processes
- And no more how-to's
