✨✨ I just wanted to share some wisdom that I was reminded of this week. I was doing some research into a topic I want to offer more in depth information about and it led me to this trainer who is pretty well known in the self-development world. I watched his free training and was so put off by his message. The content wasn't terrible, it was his marketing strategy. He was the ONLY one who had the "three secrets" to rewiring limiting beliefs and his way was the "only" way to do it and get results.
Now I know that's BS because I have a way and it is different than his way. Listening to his sales pitch, I was frustrated and got major ick. I value authenticity and transparency and while his strategy may be effective, it is based on scarcity mindset, ironically the thing he was saying not to have.
The thing is, I used to be his target audience. Desperate, disempowered, and easily manipulated by these kind of sales strategies. So here's my two cents for what it's worth.
1. Trust you gut when it comes to your health-whether it be mental health, physical health, financial health. Listen to your intuition and try not to get sucked into FOMO or a scarcity mindset. It's wonderful to try different things to find the right fit and no shade on anyone who loved his message and bought his course. He's probably legit, but my gut was saying "Eww, David!" (Schitt's Creek fans, anyone??).
2. There is not one way to do anything! And something that works for one person may not be the thing for you and that is wonderful and perfect. Because there WILL be something out there for you. Don't be fooled by someone telling you their way is the only way. It is one way and might be a great way, but especially when it comes to healing, there are many evidence-based, best practices. And all of them are likely valid, but your healing journey is yours and unique.
