Bruce Lee’s Empty Cup - And Why Your English is Costing You MONEY

Bruce Lee asked: Is your cup empty, or full?

The answer could be why you’re leaving money on the table every time you open your mouth in a business situation. I’m talking presentations that bore clients to death, pitches that land with a thud, job interviews where you sound like a buffoon…and even those damn IELTS tests my students sweat over.

See, you’re probably making ONE of these critical mistakes (and maybe all of them):

You’re STUCK in Your Ways: “Empty” means potential. “Full” means rigid, unable to adapt. Your English is probably stuck in a textbook from 1985.

You’re Fixated on “Perfect”: Forget perfection. Aim for impact. Trying to be flawless is paralyzing you. Stop it.

You Think You’re “Done” Learning: The moment you stop learning, you start dying (business-wise, anyway). Your English has to evolve to stay sharp.

You’re Clueless About Yourself: You have ZERO awareness of how you actually sound to prospects, clients, or even the interviewer across the table. Ouch.

But there’s a way out.

In my latest podcast episode, I take Bruce Lee’s wisdom – yes, the martial arts guy – and brutally expose exactly how you can weaponize your English.
