A roommate stuck in self-pity about fundraising had a mindset shift after talking about an IRS refund, decided to go all in, and landed over $25 million in funding within a month. The speaker sees this as proof that conviction and confidence drive real results.
I feel that law of attraction works because I was living with my roommate and at this time my business was going pretty good and he could not raise any money at all. His mindset was just stuck about feeling sorry for himself. A prime example of it was like one day he called me and like really like anxious and he's like, oh my God, Jack, a letter from the IRS arrived for you. And I'm like, dude, I'm sure it's not that big of a deal. Lo and behold, it actually was a refund check. And at some point he basically just said like, all right, look, what I've been doing thus far, it hasn't worked. I realized that I haven't been going all in because I I'm scared that if I don't raise funding, I'm gonna look like a failure to my network. From this day forward, I'm gonna go all in. Literally within a month or so, he raised over $25 million and people could tell that he had the conviction. He's not feeling sorry for himself, like, I can't raise funding. He's like, I'm gonna raise funding and this business is gonna be fucking huge. And it was amazing to see him adopt that mindset shift. That is an example for me of law of attraction.
