Sean Callagy: The #1 Skill That Controls Your Income (Use THIS 90/10 Rule to Build Trust and Create More Opportunities)

Sean Callagy argues that the core skill controlling income and opportunity is the ability to ethically influence others to say 'yes'—a superpower rooted in trust, communication, and presence. He introduces the 90/10 rule: 90% of influence comes from internal alignment (self-awareness, values, emotional state) and only 10% from external techniques (scripts, tactics). Limiting beliefs, especially around money and self-worth, are the primary barriers to success and are often inherited from family and culture.

You’ll learn how to build authentic influence by shifting your internal state, not just your tactics, which directly impacts income, leadership, and life choices.
