Why Everything You Were Taught About Success Might Be a Lie (And What You Can Do About It)

Most people come to me to get their brain untrained. Yes, I untrain conditioned brains that deliver poor results. Because of this and the fact that I’m also a teacher, some think I’m a fan of education. They’d be half right.

I’m not an advocate for education as we’ve come to know it—I’m an advocate for re-education.

Because the truth is, much of what we’ve been taught from the cradle to the grave is not just outdated—it’s outright conditioning. For the most part, it’s operant conditioning, which is conditioning of the worst kind, in that it’s unkind.

We’re raised to believe in a simple formula:
Get a good education → get a good job → live a good life.

But how many people who followed that script ended up disillusioned, stuck, and quietly suffering through a life that feels like it was designed by someone else?

Our beliefs, values, and choices—our entire perception of reality—are built on what we were taught. Yet what if those teachings were never truly designed for our success?

Let’s get real for a moment.

Schools taught us to conform, not to think critically. They were never in the business of creating freethinkers but rather, obedient workers. And who benefits from that? Spoiler: not you.

We were taught to save money and give it to the banks. Remember those little money boxes you were given in school? That wasn’t a financial education, it was an early recruitment strategy into a lifetime of banking dependence. If you believe that the banks care about you, you don’t need your head read. You need your brain untrained.

Then came mortgages, literally derived from the French words mort (death) and gage (pledge). A ‘death pledge’ we sign our lives away to, while the Reserve Bank of Australia (a corporate entity, not some impartial government protector) quietly shifts the financial goalposts through interest rate hikes that most never fully understand.

And if you’re Australian, you may have assumed the RBA was working for you. In fact, the Reserve Bank Act of 1959 claims it’s meant to ensure economic prosperity and welfare for all Australians. So, how is that going? Rising debt, housing crises, increased welfare dependency—not exactly a prosperity plan. Yep, if you believe that, you’ll believe anything. Though I guess it’s half true. They (who advise the RBA) got prosperity, and due to increased interest rates (The RBA lifted interest rates 13 times between May 2022 and November 2023), many Australians had to sell their homes, and some had to go on welfare.

If you feel uneasy reading this, good. That means some part of you knows something is off. And you’re right.

You’ve been conditioned.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s psychology and economics working together to keep people stuck. And you can’t grow when the foundation of your life is built on inherited lies and defunct strategies. Though it’s not a problem created by corrupt pollies or greedy corporations. We know both of these are facts. The real problem is that your belief systems may still be running off your conditioned education. In other words, part of you knows the system favours the rich but another part of you is striving to be smarter than the rich in an attempt to beat the system. Good luck with that.

Cognitive science supports this: A 2010 study published in Frontiers in Psychology revealed that deeply embedded beliefs—especially those formed in childhood—are resistant to change unless directly challenged and consciously restructured through metacognitive retraining (Schraw, Crippen & Hartley, 2006).

Another key study by Zimbardo (2007) showed how environmental systems shape behavior, often without our awareness, conditioning us into roles we never chose.

Translation? You were trained to play small. But your brain can be untrained.

That’s where I come in.

I’m a Brain Untrainer. I work with people ready to stop playing the game they never agreed to in the first place.

My clients come to me when they realise something fundamental:
“I’ve been living someone else’s version of success.”

If that’s you, if you’re ready to challenge your conditioning, pull apart the lies you were sold, and start rebuilding your life from a place of clarity and truth, then I have something for you.

But it’s not for everyone.
