In this eye-opening episode of Self-Made Millionaire, Chris Duncan reacts to the most viral clips in the self-help space, and reveals the uncomfortable truths behind them. From misleading money affirmations to overhyped mindset hacks, Chris breaks down why so much of today’s advice sounds good but fails to deliver real results.

He explores how emotional hype often replaces strategic thinking, why “feeling good” isn’t the same as building a life you love, and how the obsession with fixing yourself keeps entrepreneurs stuck. You’ll also hear insights on the reticular activating system, the illusion of quick cures, and the difference between short-term hustle and long-term freedom.

Feeling stuck despite all the work you’ve put in? If you’re an entrepreneur caught between progress and burnout, it’s time to unlock the part of you that’s built for more. The Superconscious holds the key to creating real freedom, wealth, and impact, without the grind. This live training gives you the tools to shift your identity, activate your genius, and build the life you’re here for. Reserve your spot now → https://neurocreationtechnique.com/rr-live-training
