The Code of the Extraordinary Mind

"I read your book twice, and will probably read it again on the plane this week"

I was not always free enough to allow myself to say this, however. Before I found you, I never truly understood how my entire life was being shaped by BRULES such as "Music is a tough business, even if you're good" and "Music isn't a real job", or "You're really talented, but you should probably have a safety net 'just in case'". 
Your 6 Phase Meditation approach helped me visualize it all. See, 4 Years ago I left my "Good" (a.k.a. mindlessly acceptable) Day-Job earning $65k/yr with "growth opportunities" (yeah, right) in order to build a grassroots career as a performing musician. I am proud to say that I am now COMPLETELY self-sufficient as a fully-independent performing musician booking around 300 shows a year, and earning just shy of six figures annually with no 'record deal' or 'exclusive slave-like contracts'!
According to the 'real-world', I am seemingly doing the impossible. And that's just the beginning! I now understand how a real 'growth opportunity' works.
In fact, I have been further clarifying my visions during your sessions, and because of this clarity, I am happy to report that I am in the process of finalizing a non-exclusive 'partnership' merging my business with  another that forecasts around $400k in revenue from performances alone. I am almost in tears as I actually share this for the first time. This is nuts. Your programs are bringing me toward all the right people.
