Buy it because you need it, not because someone sells it too well

Hey Daring Learners,

The opposite of "clarity" is "illusion."

The reason I speak about clarity so much is because I myself needed a practice routine to stop idealizing the world and learn to see things and people for what they are.

But then there was another challenge. Once you see things clearly, you need to communicate what you see.

Finding the right words and examples, structuring a speech in a foreign language so that it's clear to others is hard work.

But it's even harder....to be clear in spontaneous situations.

My methodology is based on human insight. Absolutely everyone has insights as they follow the protocol, and I show people how to use them to enhance their learning process.

I have my insights in the most unexpected moments and places. Usually, when I walk or run.

When I have an epiphany, I start a voice recorder on my phone and start speaking.

Then I analyze my spontaneous voice messages and use a number of parameters to track my progress:

• the duration of the audio
• the message was complete/incomplete
• I spoke in complete/run-on sentences
• I developed one idea / I jumped from one idea to the next
• the beginning and the end of my message (were they strong enough?)
• did I say my ONE BIG IDEA?

About a week ago, I recorded this voice memo as I was walking home.

I often have BIG ideas but struggle putting them in simple words. That's why I need a practice to improve my clarity.

The voice memo is 100% raw and spontaneous. However, I like the result. It's clear, there are almost no filler words, and I speak in complete sentences.

I've been practicing this for over a year. My first recordings were a mess.

I'm inviting you to listen to it and share your thoughts. Can you relate?

Then, try this practice yourself. Don't wait for the time you'll get home. By the time you get there, you'll have forgotten that important idea, and your attention will be elsewhere.

Here is the summary of the voice memo:

People don't always buy what they need. They buy what's being sold well.

People end up buying the things they don't need because they can't say resist the promising sales message.

At the same time, people lose the opportunities to buy what they really need if someone didn't remind them enough times.

Don't wait for the sign to get what YOU need.

If you needed a sign, this is THE sign.


Tomorrow, on August 13, is the third session of the Native-Like Fluency cohort. You can still join us. There's ONE more seat, and maybe it's yours.

If you don't take this opportunity, the next application window will open in February 2024.




P.S. The THEME of this cohort is "clarity in spontaneous conversations", which means we'll do the exercise above together, and I'll help you sound clear in spontaneous real-life situations in English.
