🜂 BATTLE PLAN REPORT: The Case of the Closed Channels
(Money Flow / Distance Influence / Perspective Shift)
“When income dries up, the mind often looks for curses instead of currents.”
This case involved Maureen, 43, living in Guelph, Canada.
She works in commission-only sales.
And lately, nothing has been landing.
Bills piling up.
Pressure mounting.
Confidence eroding.
She believes she’s been hexed —
that something unseen is blocking her ability to earn.
“I’m doing everything I can,” she said.
“But it’s like the door is shut.”
She’s exhausted.
And scared.
⚙️ Diagnosis
Maureen was not hexed.
She was operating in a contracted economy with an internal narrative of blockage layered on top.
Despite upbeat headlines, the reality is simple:
people are still tight.
Discretionary spending is cautious.
Sales roles are brutal right now.
Blaming a curse is understandable —
it gives shape to frustration.
But it also narrows perception.
And narrow perception kills opportunity.
⚙️ The Method
I proposed a Distance Influence working, supported by a bespoke video talisman.
Not as superstition —
but as a psychological anchor.
The working focused on:
• reopening attention
• dissolving mental tunnel vision
• restoring curiosity
• encouraging lateral thinking
I told her plainly:
“Money isn’t blocked.
Your view of the landscape is.”
The video talisman wasn’t about attracting cash magically.
It was about shifting her internal stance from desperation to exploration.
I reframed the situation:
“We’re in a wild world now.
That’s not just a problem — it’s an opening.
Side-steps matter more than straight lines.”
🜃 The Result
The change wasn’t instant money.
It was clarity.
Maureen began noticing possibilities she’d been blind to:
• adjacent roles
• hybrid work
• alternative commission structures
• small pivots instead of total reinvention
The pressure lifted.
Earning money stopped feeling like punishment —
and started to feel like an adventure again.
She wrote:
“For the first time in months, I’m not panicking.
I can actually think.”
That’s when channels reopen.
🜃 Reflection
Curses are stories the mind tells when reality feels unbearable.
But reality is negotiable —
especially now.
The moment you stop assuming the door is locked,
you start checking the windows.
And one of them is usually open.

Incredible reframe on the whole curse vs perspective thing here. The talisman as a psychological anchor rather than some magical fix realy cuts through the usual mystical noise, and the differance between seeking instant cash versus reopening your attention span is huge. I've seen this in my own work where tunnel vision makes me miss obvious opportunities right in front of me. Once you stop assuming everything's locked, you start checking windows like you said.
