You will pay for what you don’t know. 💵

It is easy to think about everything using the concept of money.

To every product or service your mind gives you an instant judgment:

🧠 “Well, how much it is gonna co$t me?”

Stop.

Just entertain this thought for a second. 💭

What you are not paying for costs you more than money.

It costs you your life.

→ In coaching we call it “a price of not knowing”.

Something that you don’t know today can cost you a lot.

→ It costs you your self-esteem.

→ Low self-esteem bleeds into your communication.

→ It costs you the opportunities that you can’t convert because of your communication.

→ It costs you years of working mediocre jobs with mediocre organizations because you convinced yourself that you couldn’t do better.

→ It costs you months of life spent in turmoil when you get laid off because you can’t shake that bitter feeling that you were mistreated.

❓ What if I told you that it can be different?

That what you don’t know stands between you and the level of consciousness at which the very concept of self-esteem makes no sense.

What if I told you that you can be grounded in such a profound Inner Truth that you would show up so powerfully it would blow people away?

💭 A high-achiever like you should never settle for mediocrity.

That’s not my words.

That is you — whispering to yourself when you are alone and no one is watching.

And you are right.

But you are still willing to pay the price.

The price of not knowing.
