14 (un)conventional principles to reduce sales anxiety & increase sales.→ (un)selling® → the book → the page has turned.

READ THIS FIRST: 

I don’t teach pressure, convincing, or chasing. 
If that’s what you want, I’m not your guy.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

You didn't leave your corporate job to spend Sunday nights rewriting follow-up emails.

You left for freedom. For flexibility. For dinner with your kids without replaying a blown sales call in your head.

But somewhere along the way, "running your own business" turned into a second job you never wanted:
Salesperson.

The chasing. The "just checking in" emails. The proposals that disappear into silence. The pit in your stomach before every money conversation.

You're not broken. You're just using a playbook that was never built for people like you.

Here's what I know:

→ I grew my first agency from a kitchen table to $5M+ using zero cold calls.
→Then I tripled the market value of an insurance brokerage by teaching the team how to sell like humans — not robots.

Now I help kitchen-table entrepreneurs who are great at what they do but exhausted by the chase.

No pressure tactics. No fake urgency. No pretending to be someone you're not.

Just a way to land clients that doesn't make you hate yourself.

I'm not your guy if:

You want boiler-room tactics
You're looking for "one call close" scripts
You think sales is about convincing people

I am your guy if:

You'd rather attract than chase
You want to sell without selling out
You're done replaying conversations at 2am wondering what you said wrong

I had a half-baked idea collecting dust in my notes.

Stumbled upon this powerful AI prompt that puts Jobs, Musk, Bezos, Godin, and Sinek in a room together. 

Not to coach me. 

To fight about my idea. 🥊

Jobs called my idea boring. 

Bezos asked 3 questions that made me realize I was solving the wrong problem entirely.

10 minutes. No cost. 

Best meeting I've had all year.

The Billion Dollar Boardroom.

I recorded a short 'over-my-shoulder' video and you can grab along with the exact prompt to stress-test your own ideas.

Drop "Boardroom" in the comments. I'll fire it over.

You built a business. Ended up with a second job you hate: Salesperson. You can sell without begging, chasing, or hating yourself after. | Best-Selling Author of (un)selling

Let me tell you about the 11 seconds that won a presidential election.

It's October 1984.

Ronald Reagan just had a terrible first debate. 

He looked tired. Confused. Old.

He was 73. 

The Wall Street Journal ran the headline everyone was thinking:
"Is the oldest president fit for office?"

His advisors were panicking.

Then came the second debate. And the question everyone was waiting for.

"Mr. President — you are already the oldest president in history. Is age a concern?"

Every camera. Every reporter. Every voter watching at home.

This was the moment.

Reagan paused.

Then smiled.

"I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."

The room exploded.

Mondale — the guy trying to beat him — laughed and shook his head.

He knew. 
Everyone knew. 
It was over.

In 11 seconds, Reagan took his greatest vulnerability and turned it into his greatest weapon.

Not with anger. 
Not with defense. 
Not with a 10-point rebuttal.
With humor.

I think about this every time I watch a salesperson panic when they get a tough objection.

"Your price is too high." 
"We're already working with someone." 
"Send me some info and I'll look at it."

These are just frames. They're not facts. They're positions.

And whoever controls the frame controls what happens next.

Most people fight the frame. That's a losing game.

The best? 
They flip it.
 With calm. 
With confidence. 
With a well-timed line that makes the other person smile.

Humor disarms. 
It resets the room. 
It says "I'm not threatened by this."

And when you're not threatened — neither is your prospect.
That's when real conversations start.

Reagan didn't need a better argument that night.
He needed better frame control.
So do you.

I audited my team's follow-up emails.
Yikes. 😳
I owe about 200 people an apology. 

Turns out most follow-ups are just a polite version of:

🔴  "You ghosted me and I'm panicking."

That's not a follow-up. 

That's a pest control problem.
And you're the pest.

The ones that got ignored all had the same problem:

They were about US. 
Not THEM.

No new info. 
No value. 
No reason to reply.

So I built The Anti-Pest Follow-Up Filter.

Four gates before you hit send. 
Fail any gate? 
Rewrite it or kill it.

Your challenge:
→  pull up your last 2 follow-ups. 
→  run them through those 4 gates.

I bet this little test might hurt a little.

I turned this Anti-Pest Filter into a decision tree you can pin next to your screen.

Now here's where I'm supposed to say reply with "ANTI-PEST" in the comments and I'll DM it to you so I can harvest your reply like a farmer collecting LinkedIn leads in February.

Nah.🙅‍♂️

It's in the comments. 
No DM. 
No email sequence. 
No 47-step funnel.

Screenshot it. 
Print it. 
Tattoo it on your forearm.
Whatever works for you. 

Just stop sending pest emails. 🪳

🔴 The Prospect Bullsh*t Translation Guide.

WHAT THEY SAY → WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN

“Circle back next quarter.”  
→ I’ll have a restraining order by then.

“We're fine with our current provider.” 
→ We hate them, but change is scary and I’m tired.

“We’re not making any changes.”
→ We still fax things. Change might kill us.

“We’ll keep you in mind.”
 → Same way I keep kale in my fridge—until it rots.

“No budget this year.”
 → But I just got a $3K standing desk.

“This isn’t a priority.”
 → You’re just below “restock the Splenda.”

“I’m not the right person.”
 → But I’ll smile, nod, and suck 40 minutes from your soul.

“We’re researching.”
 → Free consulting, baby. Keep talkin’.

“We’re going in a different direction.”
 → Yeah… away from you.

The Way Out?

Embrace the No. 
Gently push for no.   
Invite no. 
Sifting > Selling. 

That’s not losing.
That’s selling like a grown-up.

Leads vs Lies 

The day I stopped chasing every lead and started with a disqualifying first mindset everything changed.

Well, not right away.

At first it felt like I was quitting and leaving money on the table. 

I watched the “Cardone” salessluggers  out there grinding while I was disqualifying people, stress testing the truth and walking away.

But here’s what I didn’t expect:

✅The calls got easier.

✅The conversations got better 

✅ I reclaimed my dignity. 

Because when you’re not white-knuckling every opportunity, you show up differently.

You ask better questions. 
You actually listen. 
You stop performing and start connecting.
You make sure people feel comfortable telling you no.  
You even suggest it. 😱

And the prospects feel safe. 

They’re not being sold to. 
They’re being understood.

That’s the whole game.

I spent 12 years thinking I needed to hold on tighter.

Turns out the thing that was making sales hard was the “holding on.”

Let one go this week. 

On purpose.


#unselling

Detachment. 

A fancy word for not giving a f*ck. 

Took me 12 years and a therapy bill to figure that out that the secret to selling more is giving a f*ck less. 

P.S. 7,001 humans already tossed $25 into Jeff Bezo’s money money machine to learn how. → geni.us/unselling

3 years. 
3,003 subscribers. 
My accountant has questions.🤔

Grant Cardone has 2.2 million.
Gary Vee has 10 million.
Grant also owns a private jet.

I drive a reliable Genesis.

And I couldn't care less.

Because every one of those 3,003 people is here for the same reason:

They want to land clients without begging, chasing, or pretending to be someone they're not.

That's the whole room.
And it's exactly the room I wanted to build when I wrote (un)selling in 2023.

4 quarters over 100 pennies.

Unleashing Your Sales Superpowers @HSE

Most revenue problems are not tactical. They are structural.
Performance ceilings are rarely skill-based. They are identity-based.

RLOA replaces force and control with identity alignment and performance architecture, a shift explored in my April 2026 book.

I build operating systems for leaders carrying real accountability.

Over the past decade I have coached more than 200 sales teams and 1,000 operators. The models behind this work have generated more than $1B in revenue and inform my advisory practice.

Former record-setting pipeline producer across Salesforce, LinkedIn, and venture-backed startups. Author of 10 books. My work sits at the intersection of execution, psychology, and leverage.

The focus is durability.

Systems that hold under pressure.
Control of the top of the funnel instead of constant chasing.

Durability is not only operational. It is personal.

Identity precedes execution. Alignment precedes performance. When identity evolves, outcomes compound.

I work with:

• CROs and VPs accountable to forecasts, boards, and promotion outcomes
• Founders scaling pipeline and deal flow
• Fractional executives expanding leverage across portfolios
• Consultants converting expertise into revenue velocity

Outcomes follow a pattern, not a playbook:

• 4.6X pipeline growth in 90 days at HubSpot
• 5X increase in new business meetings in 60 days for a B2B SaaS AI team
• $148K closed in one week by a consultancy CEO
• $144K closed in one week by an executive coach
• 2–5X pipeline and income growth with promotion inside six months
• Seven-figure advisory businesses and $10K–$20K parallel monthly income

Through the Justin Michael Method, many of today’s seven-figure sellers and senior consultants were trained.

This is not a side project.
It is what happens when serious operators stop treating revenue like a hobby.

The frameworks are public.
The leverage is not.

If this reflects the pressure you carry, we should talk.

300 million books sold.
Not one asked if the Law of Attraction might be wrong.

Think positive.
Visualize it.
Feel it.
Attract it.

And if it didn’t work?

Try harder.
Stay positive.
Fix your mindset.

So people forced optimism, suppressed doubt, and performed happiness while quietly feeling like they were failing.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Pressure isn’t creation.
Control is resistance wearing spiritual clothing.

High performers feel the friction:

doing the mindset work
staying “positive”
still hitting the same ceiling

Not from lack of belief.
From forcing life to cooperate.

What if the issue isn’t attraction…

but identity?

Thinking → Feeling → Attracting
keeps you chasing.

Being → Thinking → Becoming
changes who you are – and what becomes possible.

When identity shifts, decisions shift.
When decisions shift, actions align.
When actions align, results compound.

You stop chasing.
You start becoming.

Less forcing.
More congruence.
Less performance.
More presence.
Less control.
More power.

The paradox:
When you stop trying to control reality,
reality stops resisting you.

This is the foundation of Rewriting the Law of Attraction.

Not manifest harder.
Become differently.

The biggest lie in self-improvement is that action creates results.
It doesn’t.

Action only reveals the identity underneath.

Two people can follow the exact same strategy.

Same book.
Same advice.
Same opportunity.

One becomes unstoppable.

The other stays exactly where they started.

The difference is not intelligence.
It’s not discipline.
It’s not information.

It’s ontology.

Who they are being.

Neuroscience is beginning to confirm something philosophers have argued for centuries.

Your brain is not perceiving reality.

It is predicting it.

The cortex builds a model of who you believe yourself to be, then filters the world through that model.

Opportunities appear or disappear.
Risk feels tolerable or terrifying.
Possibilities look obvious or impossible.

Not because reality changed.

Because the observer did.

Which leads to a disturbing realization.

Most people are not living in reality.

They are living inside a self-model created years ago.

A story about who they are.
A story about what is possible.
A story the brain now protects at all costs.

This is why effort alone rarely changes anything.

You can force new behaviors for a while.

But eventually the system snaps back to the identity it recognizes as “you.”

This is why transformation always looks violent.

The old identity collapses.

The nervous system reorganizes.

And a different version of you walks into the same world… and suddenly everything is different.

From the outside it looks like discipline.

From the inside it feels like inevitability.

Because once identity shifts, the brain literally begins selecting different evidence from reality.

Doors appear that were invisible yesterday.

Decisions become obvious that once felt impossible.

This is the missing layer behind performance, wealth, leadership, relationships, and spiritual growth.

Not tactics.

Not affirmations.

Being.

You don’t create a new life by forcing better actions.

You create a new life by becoming the person for whom those actions are normal.

That’s why every real transformation follows the same pattern.

The old self burns.

And something stronger rises from the ashes.

Not improved.

Rewritten.

You are not seeing reality.

You are seeing your identity.

So the real question is not what you want to achieve.

The real question is:

Which version of you needs to die for that life to exist? 🔥

Everyone keeps asking the same question.

If manifestation actually works…
what is the real process?

Not the Instagram version.
The real one.

Here is the sequence almost nobody explains.

Reality does not respond to thoughts.

Reality responds to identity.

The real order has always been this.

Being → thinking → action → results.

Change identity and everything downstream reorganizes.

This is the core of RLOA – Rewriting the Law of Attraction.

And the process looks nothing like what most people were taught.

It looks like a Phoenix.

Because something has to burn first.

Here is the mechanism.

First
The old identity collapses.

The one built on fear.
Approval.
Scarcity.
Trying to control outcomes.

Second
Define the identity for whom the outcome is normal.

Not the goal.

The person who naturally produces the result.

Third
Start making decisions from that identity before the evidence appears.

Different standards.
Different conversations.
Different risks.

Fourth
Reality reorganizes around who you are being.

Thinking changes.
Behavior changes.
Opportunities appear.

From the outside, it looks like a manifestation.
From the inside it feels like inevitability.

Reality didn’t suddenly cooperate.

You changed.

Manifestation was never creation.
It was identity selection.

You do not attract the future.

You become the person the future recognizes.

That is the Phoenix process.

Burn the old identity.

Rise as the one the future was waiting for.

Hundreds of millions believed the Law of Attraction.

Almost no one examined whether it was structurally wrong.

Hundreds of millions bought books that promised better thoughts produce better outcomes. Entire industries were built on the premise that visualization and emotional intensity could bend reality. What few stopped to examine was whether the sequence itself had been misunderstood.

In "Rewriting the Law of Attraction," Justin Michael offers one of the most disciplined structural challenges to modern manifestation philosophy in years.

He does not mock the genre. He does not dismiss the inspiration it provided to millions. Instead, he interrogates its underlying causality and proposes a reordering that reframes the entire conversation.

The traditional model suggests that thoughts create feelings and feelings attract results. Michael argues that outcomes do not follow thought alone. They follow identity. Being shapes thinking. Thinking shapes action. Action produces results. When this order is inverted, effort becomes strain and belief quietly turns into self-blame. Many high performers who tried to think more positively or visualize more vividly did not fail because they lacked faith. They were operating from a misaligned foundation.

Drawing from performance psychology, neuroscience, leadership under accountability, and philosophical influences that echo Heidegger’s insight that our way of being determines what shows up as possible, Michael positions manifestation as architecture rather than affirmation. Surrender is reframed not as passivity but as structural coherence. Faith becomes alignment instead of force.

The strength of the book lies in its restraint. The prose is measured and assured. The argument is not mystical but methodical. It bridges contemplative philosophy with measurable performance, offering a framework that integrates inner alignment with external execution. Readers expecting slogans will find something more rigorous. Readers seeking durability will find a system.

In a genre that sold hundreds of millions of copies without materially revisiting its core mechanism, "Rewriting the Law of Attraction" feels less like a rebuttal and more like an evolution. It does not reject manifestation. It matures it.

Some readers will resist the premise. That resistance is part of the point. By shifting the focus from attracting outcomes to transforming identity, the book invites a deeper responsibility and a different kind of power.

For those ready to move beyond wishing and into becoming, this is not simply another entry in the self-development category. It is a serious attempt to reset its foundation.

300 million books taught the Law of Attraction.
Not one questioned it.

Law of Attraction got one thing catastrophically wrong.

https://lnkd.in/dvRtpqtG

The Law of Attraction sold the world a beautiful lie.

It told people thoughts create reality.

Think wealth.
Think success.
Visualize the future you want.

And the universe will deliver.

It’s a comforting idea.

It’s also why millions of people are stuck.

Because if thoughts created reality, every broke person thinking about money would already be rich. Every entrepreneur staring at a vision board would be unstoppable. Every affirmation would work.

They don’t.

Because thoughts are not the source.

Thoughts are downstream.

Reality doesn’t respond to what you think.

Reality responds to who you are being.

This is the missing layer almost every manifestation philosophy skipped.

The real sequence looks like this:

BEING → THINKING → ACTION → RESULTS

Identity determines thinking.

Thinking determines decisions.

Decisions determine actions.

Actions determine results.

This is why two people can hear the exact same advice and create completely different lives.

One becomes unstoppable.

The other stays exactly where they started.

Not because of intelligence.

Not because of opportunity.

Because of identity.

Identity is the invisible architecture behind every result you produce.

It filters what you notice.
It shapes what you believe is possible.
It determines how boldly you move.

A powerful identity generates powerful thinking.

Powerful thinking generates decisive action.

Decisive action generates results.

And those results reinforce the identity again.

It becomes a loop.

This is why most self-improvement fails.

People try to change their results.

Some try to change their actions.

Others try to force new thoughts.

But the operating system underneath never changes.

So the old identity quietly pulls everything back to where it was.

Change identity and the system reorganizes.

Your thinking shifts without effort.

Your tolerance for risk expands.

Your actions become faster and more decisive.

Opportunities that were invisible yesterday suddenly appear obvious.

From the outside it looks like luck.

From the inside it feels inevitable.

The world is not responding to what you want.

It is responding to who you are being.

You do not attract what you want.

You produce what you are.

The moment identity shifts, reality begins rearranging itself in ways that feel almost impossible to explain.

Not because the universe suddenly decided to reward you.

Because you finally became the person capable of producing those outcomes.

That is the real law.

Not attraction.

Identity.

You don’t get the life you want.

You get the life your identity can produce.

Manifestation culture didn’t empower people.
It made them obsessed with controlling their thoughts.

Watch what happens when someone believes thoughts create reality.

They monitor every thought.
Correct every doubt.
Force positivity.
Police their own mind.

They call it manifestation.

But look closely.

It’s just anxiety dressed up as spirituality.

Because if thoughts created reality, the hardest thinkers would win.

They don’t.

The people who actually transform their lives rarely look like they’re forcing anything.

They move calmly.
Decide quickly.
Act without hesitation.

Which exposes the flaw in the entire model.

Reality does not respond to what you think.

Reality responds to who you are being.

Thoughts are not the engine.

Thoughts are the exhaust.

They are the last thing that changes when a life changes.

Two people can repeat the same affirmations.
Read the same books.
Visualize the same future.

One becomes unstoppable.

The other stays exactly where they started.

The difference is not belief.

The difference is identity.

Identity shapes thinking.
Thinking shapes decisions.
Decisions shape actions.
Actions compound into results.

The real sequence has always been hiding in plain sight.

Being → Thinking → Action → Results

Which means the entire manifestation industry made one critical mistake.

It tried to change people’s thoughts first.

But thoughts are an output.

Change the output and nothing happens.

Change the source and everything reorganizes.

This is the foundation of RLOA: Rewriting the Law of Attraction.

Not manufactured manifestation.

Surrendered manifestation.

Not forcing reality with positive thinking.

Becoming the person reality reorganizes around.

The old paradigm said:

Change your thoughts and your life will change.

RLOA says something far more confronting.

You cannot think your way into a new life.

You must become someone new.

Stop manifesting.
Start becoming.

Manifestation did not fail you.
Control did.

For decades, hundreds of millions of books have promised the same idea:

Think it. Visualise it. Feel it.
And the universe delivers.

From The Secret to Think and Grow Rich, an entire belief system formed around one premise:

Control your thoughts.
Control your reality.

It gave people hope.
But almost no one challenged the premise.

And if we are honest, many high performers still feel the friction:

working harder
staying positive
doing the mindset work

and hitting the same ceiling.

Not from lack of belief.
From pressure.
From trying to force life to cooperate.

That tension led me to the most important shift in my work.

Rewriting the Law of Attraction (RLOA) releases in April.

It begins with a simple truth.

Manifestation did not fail people.
Control did.

Traditional manifestation taught us to force positivity, override doubt, and engineer outcomes.

But control is resistance wearing spiritual clothing.
Control is not creation.

When visualisation becomes pressure
when positivity becomes suppression
when outcomes become identity

anxiety rises.

Not freedom.

This is not a dismissal of The Secret.
It gave people hope when they needed hope.

But hope was step one. Not the destination.

RLOA introduces a distinction rarely discussed.

manufactured manifestation versus surrendered creation

One grips.
The other allows.

One exhausts.
The other expands.

This shift is not about getting more.

It is about becoming someone different.

Early readers have described it as:

The Surrender Experiment meets The Alchemist.

Not a technique.
A transformation.

The timing is not accidental.
The world is changing.

AI is making intelligence abundant and execution automated.
What once made you valuable is becoming universal.

Information is infinite.
Tools are instant.
Output is accelerated.

What cannot be automated is identity.
Presence.
Inner alignment.

The advantage is no longer control.

It is coherence.

You do not attract what you want.

You attract what you stop resisting.

If the last decade was about manifesting,
the next decade will belong to those who become.

April.

Manifestation was hijacked.

They told you:

“Thoughts attract reality.”

So millions tried to think positive.
Visualize harder.
Repeat affirmations.

And then wondered why nothing changed.

Because reality doesn’t respond to thoughts.

It responds to identity.

Identity determines
what you attempt
what you tolerate
what you believe is possible for someone like you.

Two people can think the same thoughts.

One builds an empire.
One stays stuck.

The entire shift is identity.

LOA
Thoughts attract reality.

RLOA
Identity creates outcomes.

You don’t attract what you think about.

Reality organizes around who you become.

If manifestation worked,

you wouldn’t still be trying.

If it succeeds, it takes credit.
If it fails, you take blame.

That’s not empowerment.

That’s a closed loop.

RLOA – Reinventing the Law of Attraction – breaks it.

You don’t attract what you want.

You experience what your identity can sustain.

Identity → Action → Results.

Welcome to the post-manifestation era.

RLOA.
