Sound familiar?

Same week. Same loop. Same promise to start Monday.

Work takes everything, and home gets what's left.

You're in the house, but you're not home.

Your energy is gone by three, and coffee is doing the heavy lifting.

Sunday night, you're already dreading Monday.

On paper it's working. Or it isn't, and you're carrying that alone.

You've read the books and saved the posts. The week still runs you.

You don't have an information problem. You have an application problem.

Why nothing has stuck

It isn't willpower. It's a loop.

Every man has one. Most never see it, because it feels like personality. It runs the same four steps every time.

01TriggerPressure builds. A bad call, a dead deal, a quiet house at eleven at night.

02EscapeYou reach. Work, the phone, a drink, food, going silent.

03HitReal relief, and fast. That's why the loop survives.

04DebtThe bill lands on your body, your family, your walk with God and your business. With interest.

Your pattern is not your personality. It's a loop, and loops break.

The interruption

The C4 breaks it in the moment it fires

Four moves, small enough to run in the half second between the trigger and the reach. You learn it in Module 04 and practice it every day after.

In the gap between trigger and escape lives your entire life.

1CatchSee the loop firing in real time. You can't interrupt what you don't see coming.
2CautionStop. Stand in the gap on purpose, and go quiet before you move.
3ChoosePick the different move. Small is fine. It only has to break the loop.
4CreateDo it with your hands, in the real world, now. The action is the interruption.

Why I built this

I lost my father at seven, on Christmas Day. He was thirty-three.

People who knew him called him a hard worker, so I became one. Every extra hour felt like getting closer to him.

I went solo, worked even harder, and found that a drink could numb a weekend well enough to get through it. I told myself a story I believed all the way down: I am self-made.

From the outside, I was a man on his way up. On the inside, I was thirty pounds heavier, running on stress and almost no sleep, and missing seasons at home I'll never get back.

When my son turned seven, the age I was when my world went dark, I couldn't sleep. One night at three in the morning, I got up and started writing. That became the book. The book became this course: the tools I use every week, in the order I needed them.

I'm not teaching this from a stage. I run several businesses, mostly solo, and I'm a husband and a father. The calendar, the morning, the deal journal, the way I come home at night: I use all of it, every week.

How the climb works

Every week has one job

Do that job, check the box, and keep climbing. The order is the method: God, body, family, business.

01 · LearnLearn itShort lessons, 40 to 50 minutes a week. Go through them early in the week.

02 · WorkWrite itOne Field Manual tool a week, filled in right inside the lesson.

03 · RepDo itThe 48-hour protocol. Reps in your real life, not on a screen.

04 · ReportOwn itYour weekly report: your wins, the loop that fired and your question.

The rep is the product. A module is complete when its reps are done, not when its lessons are read. The course tracks both.

Questions

Before you join

What happens right after I pay?

You get an email with your sign-in link right away. Click it and you're in Basecamp: your Week 0 Pit Assessment, your dropping link and your first rep. No password to remember.

How much time does it take?

About two to three hours a week: short lessons, one tool and a 48-hour rep in your real life. It's built for eight weeks, and you can move at your own pace. Life happens. Your progress waits for you.

Is it video?

Not yet. Every lesson is a slide-by-slide read-along with my words under each slide, and it works today, start to finish. I'm recording video and audio lessons now, and they're added to the lessons as they're done. You get every one at no extra cost.

Do I need the book?

No. Every chapter of the book is inside the course, next to the module it belongs to.

What if I fall behind?

You don't fall behind a self-paced course. Your progress saves, and the course always shows your next lesson. If a week blows up, do the smallest version of the rep and pick it back up. Falling is not failing. Stopping is.

Is it faith-based?

Yes. God comes first in the framework: God, body, family, business. It's practical, not preachy, and every man is welcome.

Who sees my answers?

Your lesson answers and tools are private to you. You can choose to share them with me, and it's off unless you turn it on. Your Pit Assessment answers come to me so I can see where the men in the course are and keep making it better. The quick taps in the tools are only counted in anonymous totals.

Can I do it on my phone?

Yes. It works in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and your progress follows you. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.

Can I get a refund?

No. You get instant access to everything the moment you join, so all sales are final. That's why everything is on this page: the screens, the curriculum and the free Pit Assessment. Look through it before you join.

Is this therapy?

No. Pit to Power is coaching and education. It isn't therapy, medical advice or financial advice. If you're in a crisis, get professional help first. In the U.S., call or text 988.

Your climb starts with one rep
