The concert I never played

Hey, it’s Ramon

My first semester of grad school, I made the honors string quartet.

It was pretty dang sweet.

I spent my days playing and horsing around with some elite musicians.

2 weeks before the showcase concert, I started feeling like I wasn’t ready…even though I had done the work… and “knew” I was prepared.

So I did the responsible thing.  I practiced more.  And more.  And more…

Until I developed a burning pain in my left elbow.

3 Day before the concert I couldn’t even hold the my violin up.

So, they hired a studio musician to take my place…

And I sat in the audience and watched the group I'd trained with for months play the concert I'd earned — without me.

For years, I told myself I just pushed too hard.

I was wrong. That was my nervous system doing exactly what it's built to do — protecting me from the one thing it had decided was dangerous:

Success.

We don't sabotage ourselves when we're failing.

We do it right when we're about to win.

And we almost never do it in a way that looks like quitting — that would be too obvious.  We over prepare. We pick a fight. We "wait for the right time."

Maybe yours isn't a violin. Maybe it's the offer you keep not sending. The relationship you start picking apart the second it gets good. The price you won't raise.

This Monday, I'm teaching a brand new live masterclass: The Sabotage Spike.

We're going to break down exactly why this happens — why your own body pulls you back right before the breakthrough — and I'll take you through a live meditation to start teaching your nervous system what safety actually feels like. Because you can't think your way out of this one. You have to feel your way out.

Look, I don’t want to brag… I think that’s lame. 

But I know a lot of people reading this may be thinking “why should I listen to this guy”.  Well, once I learned what I’m about to teach, I attracted my soulmate, a beautiful daughter, we now live in our dream home… And we get to do do really fun stuff with amazing people (and get paid quite well to do it).

So, if any of that sounds like your cup of tea, here are the details for the class:

📅 Monday, June 22 · 8:00 AM Pacific · Live on Zoom

It's $97 to join us live.

Or… here’s what I'd do — you can join my Inner Circle for $47/month.

That gets you this masterclass, PLUS the 30-Day Subconscious Reset (my $397 flagship program)…

The Income Identity Reset, The Worthiness Gap, PLUS every future masterclass, every live Q&A, and a community of amazing people doing this work WITH you…for as long as you're in.

If you took ONE idea from any of those classes, and applied it, your membership for the year would probably be paid pretty quickly.

How’s that for a reason to join us? Anyway, I’m on vacation at the beach, and my nephew wants to throw the football around, so I’m gonna wrap this up.

I think about that kid sitting in the audience a lot. This class is the thing I wish someone had handed him.

Come hang with me Monday. It's gonna be good.

P.S. The meditation is the part that does the real work, and you'll want to be there live for it. Monday, June 22, 8 AM Pacific. 👉 https://spike.creatingthroughenergy.com
