Are you defending strategies that stopped working months ago? It's time to stop paying for old decisions.Join me for this Make It Rain Monday edition as I tackle one of the biggest silent killers in your hypnosis business: the sunk cost fallacy. I break down why confidence comes from decisiveness, not loyalty to old mistakes, and why the most successful hypnotists I know aren't the ones who never made mistakes, they're the ones who learned from them and moved on fast.I share practical strategies to help you escape the trap of defending past decisions, including the powerful "criteria shift" technique, the "starting today test," and how to calculate the real cost of staying stuck. You'll discover why the most expensive decision isn't what you've already spent, it's what you're losing by not pivoting. Whether it's that gorgeous website that produces zero sales, that friendly business training that keeps everyone talking instead of acting, or that software you paid for but aren't using effectively, I'll show you how to make the tough calls that actually move your business forward.This isn't about dismissing your past experiences; it's about stopping the cycle of throwing good time and money after bad. I'll give you the exact questions to ask yourself that will collapse the sunk cost bias instantly and shift you from defending the past to evaluating the future with clear eyes."Confidence comes from decisiveness.
