Area 3 of 8 ยท How a video is built

Every video climbs three steps. Step one decides who stays.

The three steps

1

Their day

The first seconds

A founder's moment, in their own words. No method words yet.

"You built a freedom business, and now you're trapped by it."

2

Chronic stress

The middle

Name it. Show you were there, or sat with enough people who were.

"Chronic stress doesn't feel like stress."

3

The way out

The end

One step of regulate, integrate, expand. Then your free self-check.

"Here's the first thing I'd change."

Every short points to the long video. People never buy from a short.

So never open on

  • Method words like samskaras or frequency
  • "Highly stressed"
  • Your body or the gym
  • The money story
  • Ready For Anything

First 30 seconds: show their day and their pain before you teach.

One question a video, in a shirt.

Decided 15 September: say chronic stress first in every piece, never highly stressed.
