Speaking of our environment… First the soil. I grow some food and I can assure everyone and those who grow food or have plants understand the soil is very very important and the environment as well. Do you want something to grow and as far as a negative or the downplay that people aren't good enough or don't have it in them so you have to buy this or buy that -negativism never did anything good for anybody.

You're a different ways to say things and to help people, but not starting in a negative way show them that they are empowered and encourage them and let them know that they have it in them and what they might doubt that one can help them with .

Great article! I really haven't seen much written about this, but I do recall you telling me that when I'm writing a title Etc to start with a positive angle not the negative angle because when people are looking at their inboxes and they say something negative, it's less likely to be red just because of the title itself. Thank you for sharing your wisdom as always 🙏

Thank you from that first-hand perspective growing food and understanding how important the conditions are. I do think many people just don't see it and keep blaming themselves; keep buying courses and programs and wonder why it doesn't work for them. There's a lot to be changed for the environment to be optimised, no doubt, but removing negativity, especially as people who spend so much time online, I think that's a crucial first step. Sending you love <3
