The Google Search That Changed Everything

I was 37, sitting at my computer feeling like a complete failure. Again.
​

I'd just bombed another Tony Robbins exercise. Another visualization meditation where I was supposed to "see my future self" and got... nothing. Just darkness. Same shit that had been happening for years with self-hypnosis, vision boards, NLP programs - you name it, I'd tried it.
​

So I typed into Google: "how to improve visualization."

That's when I found out most people can actually SEE things in their mind. Like, literally see them. Pictures. Movies. Clear as day.
​

What the fuck?

​

The Missing Operating System

Here's what nobody tells you about productivity advice: every single method assumes you can do something that 5% of people literally cannot do.

​

Every guru who tells you to "picture your success."

Every coach who says "visualize the outcome."

Every productivity system that starts with "imagine your ideal day."

​

They're all using the same broken instruction manual - one that requires a mental faculty you might not have.

​

It's called aphantasia.

The inability to create mental imagery.

​

And if you have it, every piece of traditional success advice has been systematically excluding you without anyone realizing it.

The Risk Manager Theory

Your brain has a risk management system that evaluates every decision before letting you act. For most people, this system gets satisfied through mental previews - they "see" themselves succeeding, visualize overcoming obstacles, mentally rehearse the path forward.

​

When you can't visualize, your risk manager gets a blank file. No preview available. Insufficient data. Action denied.

​

That's why you get stuck in analysis paralysis despite having all the information you need. That's why you overthink everything. That's why motivation doesn't stick. Your brain is running a process with a critical step missing, creating an error loop that shows up as procrastination, energy crashes, and the devastating belief that something is fundamentally wrong with you.

​

But here's the truth: You're not broken. You're not lazy. You're not afraid of success.

​

You were using the wrong instruction manual for your brain.

The Systematic Exclusion

I'm angry about this. And you should be too.
​

For decades, an entire industry has been built on language that excludes non-visual minds.
​
​"Dream big."
"Picture the future."
"Have a vision of success."
"Follow the vision."
"Start with the end in mind"
"Imagine yourself.."

​

All that language is to our detriment.

​

All that language does not consider our minds.

​

Schools didn't include us - they didn't know. Gurus didn't include us - they didn't know. The term "aphantasia" wasn't even coined until 2015. Millions of analytical minds have been punishing themselves for failing at methods that were never designed for them.

​

This is almost an US against THEM situation.

​

But instead of getting bitter, we're getting better tools.

​

The Different Path

When I discovered I had aphantasia and SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory), it didn't just explain my failures. It explained my strengths too.

​

When I found my flow, I was incredibly productive. The problem wasn't my capability - it was activation. Getting started. Traditional methods assumed I could mentally rehearse success, visualize the outcome, get motivated by picturing the reward.

​

My brain doesn't work that way.

So I developed methods that do.

​

Physical activation instead of mental imagery. Energy through motion instead of imagination. Body-first triggers that bypass the risk manager entirely.

​

The Momentum Experiment

This isn't about overcoming aphantasia.

This is about leveraging it.

​

Your analytical mind - which traditional methods see as "overthinking" - becomes your navigation system when the missing step is finally provided. Your present-moment focus becomes an advantage when you're not trying to force future visualizations.

​

The entrepreneurs and founders I work with don't just get unstuck - they become productivity powerhouses who can ignore their unhelpful mind and keep pushing forward.

​

They discover that their action-taking and decision-making process isn't broken; it's just different. And different, when properly channeled, can be devastatingly effective.

​

​

The Revolution Starts Here

Every person who makes this transition proves something important: analytical minds with the right tools can outperform visual thinkers who've had every advantage.

​

You're not joining another productivity system.

​

You're becoming part of a quiet revolution of the 5% who've stopped apologizing for thinking differently and started dominating because of it.

​

This is about us impacting the world, one awakened non-visual mind at a time.

​

Different doesn't mean deficient. It just means we need different tools.
