CASE STUDY: Proof You're Not Broken

For a man at rock bottom, the heaviest weight is the belief that he is permanently broken.

The cycle of broken promises—to himself, to his family—feels like definitive proof that he is beyond repair.

But what if that's not a character flaw? What if it's a system failure?

I tested a simple hypothesis: Could a 7-day, high-accountability protocol provide the undeniable evidence a man needs to prove to himself that he is not broken? I called it the "Self-Trust" Protocol. Here are the results from the first test subjects.

The Hypothesis: A System for Self-Trust

I wanted to test a simple hypothesis: Could a 7-day, SMS-based accountability system force someone to keep their word to themselves, even when they didn't feel like it?

So, I built the "7-Day Self-Trust Protocol." The mechanism was simple: a daily mission video sent via text, a simple 5-minute workout that required no equipment, and a single word reply to me when it was done: "PROOF."

The goal wasn't a dramatic physical transformation in 7 days. The goal was to build an unbreakable win streak and prove that consistency was possible. I invited a small, private group of beta testers to put the system to the test.

The Beta Test: The Proof

This is what happened. I'll let the graduates tell you in their own words.

Angelica's Story: From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust

Angelica’s biggest fear was being "inconsistent and not disciplined enough." It's a feeling we all know well. But after just seven days of keeping small promises to herself, something profound shifted.

In her own words: "Mentally, I was proud of myself because I stayed consistent and focused... I did not let my mind or self doubt take over."

Robin's Story: Proof of Physical Effectiveness

Robin’s main problem was a lack of time and a question I hear constantly: "Can 5-minute workouts actually work?" He needed a no-excuses solution that delivered real results.

Here’s what he discovered: "I was surprised at how challenging and effective these simple exercises could be. The workouts got my energy level up and gave me a great sense of accomplishment."

Nava's Story: Overcoming the Fear to Start

Nava’s fear was one of the most common and powerful ones: the fear of not being able to do it. She was intimidated by the idea of push-ups and worried she wasn't ready.

This was her breakthrough: "My biggest doubt was that I would have to do push-ups. I was surprised to say that I could do it, and it got easier the more days I did it."

The Results: The Data

So, what did the data from this beta test tell us? The results were better than I could have imagined.

  • 100% Completion Rate: Every single person who started the protocol finished it.

  • 10/10 Average Rating: The overall experience was rated a perfect 10 by the graduates.

  • The Key Insight: While I originally designed this with "Regular Guys" in mind, the beta test proved that the principles of accountability and self-trust are universal. The system worked powerfully for both the men and women in the group, proving that this is a human problem, not a gendered one.

The Conclusion: The Invitation

The data is clear. A man's feeling of being "broken" is not a permanent state; it's the result of a faulty internal system.

When you install a new system built on integrity and kept promises, the evidence of your own strength becomes undeniable in a matter of days.

This 7-day protocol is the first, critical step in the 90-Day Resurrection. It is the diagnostic tool we use to prove that you are ready for the real work.

If you are ready to see your own proof, the first step is a strategy call.
