An iSELF Success Story: From Burnout to Thriving Career
At The Passion Company, we believe that passion is the fundamental energy that fuels human creativity and success. But what happens when that passion seems to run dry? When the entrepreneurial spirit that once drove you feels crushed under the weight of setbacks and stress?
Today, we're excited to share the remarkable transformation of Stephanie Fee, a beta tester of our iSELF program powered by Imagination Technology.
The Challenge: Entrepreneurial PTSD
When Stephanie first connected with us, she was emerging from the emotional and financial aftermath of closing her bootstrapped health and wellness startup. Despite years of hard work and investing her life savings, the company hadn't gained the traction she'd hoped for. Stephanie found herself grappling with what she termed "entrepreneurial PTSD," a mix of disappointment, self-doubt, and financial stress.
"I had this thing, this startup PTSD, where I was carrying around all this time in my body," Stephanie shared. "It had nothing to do with now, but I was dragging it around to my detriment."
Beyond the financial strain, Stephanie was also dealing with stress-induced psoriasis and a tendency to take on work out of scarcity rather than genuine passion. She needed a way to heal, refocus, and rediscover her path forward.
The Paradigm Shift
Enter iSELF and Imagination Technology. The concept resonated deeply with Stephanie: what if we could upgrade our internal operating system, just like we upgrade our phones? What if we could clear out the junk files of stress and limiting beliefs?
Instead of just adding more information or techniques to Stephanie's already overwhelmed mind, we helped her subtract - clearing away the old operating system that was holding her back.
Key concepts that struck a chord with Stephanie included:
The "Day One Theory" - understanding how to release attachment to past experiences
Scarcity vs. Passion Check - discerning between decisions made from scarcity and those made from genuine passion
Possibility mapping - expanding her view of potential outcomes from any situation through a new technique she developed inspired by our multidimensional approach
Energy management - being more intentional about energetic exchanges which led to higher-quality relationships and opportunities
The Upgrade Process
Stephanie's iSELF success journey began with a 90-day iSELF beta program, which included:
Guided video sessions
On-demand "activation" videos
Personalized support through the iSELF Helpdesk
Ongoing experiments applying the concepts to her daily life and work
The initial stages were intense. It felt like her whole world was being turned upside down. Old beliefs crumbled, and comfortable (but limiting) patterns were disrupted. But with each passing day, Stephanie felt lighter, clearer, more alive.
A New Reality Emerges
As weeks turned into months, Stephanie noticed profound shifts:
Career Pivot
Stephanie successfully transitioned from her startup into a thriving career as a ghostwriter and book collaborator for high-level executives and entrepreneurs.
Financial Resurgence
From financial distress, Stephanie attracted multiple ideal clients for her ghostwriting services. By the end of the program, she had verbal commitments from several high-profile entrepreneurs, with additional promising prospects in the pipeline. This strategic shift in her client base allowed Stephanie to 10x her ghostwriting business, transforming her financial situation and professional outlook.
Physical Healing
Stephanie's stress-induced psoriasis began clearing up dramatically.
"It is almost gone," she reported after 2-3 months in the program.
Energy Shift
Stephanie noticed a significant improvement in her overall energy and the quality of people and opportunities entering her life.
Mindset Overhaul
Stephanie developed an increased ability to recognize abundance, improved self-trust, reduced anxiety, and greater ease in letting go of situations or people that didn't align with her passion.
Creative Surge
During a 4-month period overlapping with the iSELF program, Stephanie ghostwrote 4 full books while managing her emotional healing and business transition.
The Ripple Effect
Perhaps the most profound change was in Stephanie's sense of purpose and possibility. As she shifted from survival mode to conscious evolution, she felt a deep calling to share her journey and help others transform their lives through writing.
"This put me into such a different headspace and activation space," Stephanie reflected. "I guess maybe I would call it confidence, you know, at the end of the day, but also the imagination part of it."
An Invitation to Evolve
Now, months into her journey being powered by Imagination Technology, Stephanie can hardly recognize the person she was before. It's not that life is perfect – challenges still arise. But she now has the tools to navigate them with grace, creativity, and even excitement.
Stephanie's advice for those considering the iSELF program is simple but powerful:
"Work it. Go in and work the program... The level at which you invest in and put your energy into it, it's not so much time as much energy. That's what you'll get back... And then the other thing that I would say is, make it your own."
If you're reading this and feeling a resonance, know that this isn't just Stephanie's story. It's an invitation. An invitation to step out of the old paradigm of struggle and survival. An invitation to upgrade your internal operating system and tap into the vast inner power that lies within you.
iSELF and Imagination Technology aren't just about personal transformation – they're about consciously participating in the evolution of humanity. As more of us make this shift, we create a ripple effect that has the power to reshape our world.
Are you ready to make the upgrade? The journey of conscious evolution is calling. And trust us, it's the most thrilling adventure you'll ever embark upon.
Wow. Thank you for wrapping such beautiful words around my experience. This made me feel like you served as my ghostwriter and it’s felt great to narrate openly to you. This translation feels very authentic to me. I hope that moves people to join the program ♡
