π« Maybe It's Not For You
β β β Hey Reader, β If you ask my students (like I have), Rocket Fuel works. β It helps students unblock their English, feel more confident, and speak more easily and frequently. It's fast and fun, too. β But it might not be for you. β Rocket Fuel makes you speak every day and stay ready so you are ready when "that moment" arrives. β "That moment" could be a lot of things:
β Any one of these moments could be a life-changing connection. But maybe you don't have moments like this to stay ready for. β Maybe you just want enough English comprehension to binge your favorite series on Netflix, stream the latest true crime podcast on Spotify, or ask for help in the New York subway. Maybe you just want to consume and don't want to speak. After all, there's a season for everything, and maybe it's not the right season for English. β But maybe it is for you. β βMaybe it's time to make time and stop blaming time when your English feels blocked. β Maybe you're a high performer, like Paula. Someone adjusting to life in the US with no empty space on her calendar for weekly class, but who can find 5 minutes of time to reflect on a recent failure or milestone at work and learn an expression for her next meeting, too. β Maybe you're a parent, like JoΓ£o Paulo or Javier β Two fathers who work hard to give their children a better life and be around for all of their precious moments, so they get creative to do their daily challenges wherever they can, including their morning commute when they drop their kids off at school. β Maybe you're a traveler, like Arthur β Constantly on the go, whether it's visiting family in the countryside, running marathons abroad with his wife, or traveling for work in the US, he sends his daily videos from more cities than an Instagram travel influencer. β
β
β Or maybe you live in a country that doesn't speak the language you've spent years trying to stay fluent in and you don't want to lose it or feel blocked when that moment arrives. β Maybe you're like me. β βThen you could do what I do and use Rocket Fuel to stay in touch with that language, embrace the power of patience and get 1% better every day. 1% doesn't seem like much. But when something compounds at 1% a day for a year, it multiplies by 37. β So maybe you decide that the most important thing is to keep going and keep speaking, even when it seems pointless. β
β Maybe you try it and it isn't for you. β If that's the case, I'll give you most of your money back, whether you try Rocket Fuel or Rocket Fuel Plus, as long as you make a real commitment and complete the 1st month. β There's 1 day left. β Maybe it's not for you. Maybe it is. β There's only one way to find out:
β β Enjoy your Sunday! Juan β β P.S. If you're still not sure, what is your biggest question or doubt? Let me know. I've been sending these challenges for 40 months and have replied to thousands of messages. I can help you decide if it's right for you right now, without the BS. β Did you find this email or deal useful? Please consider forwarding it to a friend who's on the same journey as you.

Hey Reader, My best students think long-term, but act daily. They focus on slow growth and build a language practice so that when the right opportunity presents itself, they're ready. Some of these students are disciplined by nature. Others are not. But regardless of which of the two you are, you can manufacture the discipline and motivation you need with commitment devices. As James Clear says, a commitment device is "a choice you make in the present that controls your actions in the...
Hey Reader, Speaking a second language is an art, so if your English feels blocked, you have to treat it like a creative block.
