Not ads, not a big launch, not a personal brand with a large following. He started by showing up where people were already suffering and saying something useful. That's the whole philosophy in miniature.Dominik sat down with Billy, a Buddhist life coach and former software engineer, to pull apart some ideas that don't get much airtime in the online course world. Billy's central argument is that most people who say they want success actually don't, not because they're lazy, but because success is a black box. They've never defined what their inner experience of it would actually feel like. And so, unconsciously, they steer away from it. It's the same reason a smoker keeps saying they want to quit.What stuck with Dominik in this one was the confrontation piece. Billy deliberately activates his clients emotionally during sessions, and then asks them to look at themselves in that state. His reasoning: the person who shows up when you're stressed, defensive, or triggered is the person running your business. If you never see that person clearly, your business keeps replicating their behavior.They also got into resonance direction, Billy's way of thinking about marketing funnels as one continuous emotional throughline rather than disconnected pieces, and his practical advice for anyone who's plateaued: are you selling to the list you already have, or just watching it grow?I think you'll get a lot out of this one.Check out Billy's work:🌐 http://julylifecoach.com📸 https://instagram.com/july_lifecoach▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@Julylifecoach
