Are You Focusing on the Very Thing You’re Trying to Avoid?
JC
I kept crashing into the damn pole.
Not literally—but in life? Over and over again.
I was frustrated, burnt out, and honestly, a little pissed off at the universe. I felt like I was doing everything right. I was reading the books, learning about the Law of Attraction, trying to be a good person, focusing on what I wanted… and still, nothing was changing.
After a while, I started thinking maybe this whole manifestation thing was just one big cosmic joke.
Then something happened that completely shifted how I saw everything.

My mentor, Joseph McClendon III, told a story that hit me square between the eyes. There’s a stretch of road near his house where people kept crashing into the same pole. It happened so often that it made the news. They interviewed the drivers—different people, different times—and every single one said the same thing:
“The last thought I had was: don’t hit the pole.”
And that right there is the point.
They hit the pole because they were focused on the pole.
Sound familiar?
That’s when it clicked. I had been doing the exact same thing in my own life. Saying I wanted love, abundance, peace… but pouring all my attention into the lack of those things. Obsessing over why they hadn’t shown up yet. Focusing on what wasn’t working.
And here’s the thing:
Energy doesn’t speak English.
It responds to your focus, not your words.
You can say “I don’t want to be broke” all day long—but if your focus is still on scarcity, guess what you’re attracting?
More of the same. Boom. Pole.
Once I realized that, I started shifting. I caught myself in those moments and re-trained my mind to zero in on what I did want—on the vision, the feeling, the energy I wanted to call in. That shift alone started to change everything.
This is exactly the kind of work we do in my 60-Day Manifest Mastermind, which kicks off tomorrow.
This isn’t about wishful thinking or toxic positivity. It’s about rewiring your brain, getting intentional with your energy, and finally building momentum toward the life you want.
And if money is the thing that’s been holding you back? You can now use the Pay Later option through PayPal to get started for as low as $40/month. That’s it. No more excuses.
So let me ask you:
What’s the pole you keep crashing into?
What are you unintentionally focused on, even though you’re trying to avoid it?
If you’re ready to shift that—this is your moment.
We start tomorrow, and this is your last chance to join us.
