The Effort Isn’t the Problem. The Strategy Is.
We recently analyzed data from our community, and the results were staggering.
The average person still searching for a remote role spends 12.9 hours and submits 7 applications every single week, getting nowhere.
The successful members of our academy?
They spent 13.1 hours and submitted 6.9 applications per week... but they actually landed the job.
The effort is nearly the same. The outcome is the difference between burnout and a signed contract.
This confirms a truth you're likely feeling in your bones right now: The problem isn't your work ethic.
You are pouring over a day and a half of your life each week into a process that is giving you nothing in return. You're feeding your energy into a system designed to ignore you.
That is the real source of burnout. It's not about needing more rest. It's about needing your effort to finally matter.
The difference between being stuck in the grind and accepting an offer isn't more hustle. It's having the right strategy.
It's knowing how to make your experience resonate, bypass the algorithms, and connect with the right people.
I see this constantly: talented, capable people running on a hamster wheel, telling themselves they'll rest once they get the job.
If that's you...
Stop. Seriously.
Stop the ineffective hustle. Stop sending applications into the void.
Take that energy you're already spending and channel it into a plan that actually moves you forward. A plan that turns effort into interviews.
This is the work we do. We don't ask you to work harder. We provide the framework to make the hard work you're already doing finally pay off.
If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels alone, our new 90-second diagnostic tool can identify the single biggest bottleneck that's wasting your time. It will show you why your 13 hours aren't converting into offers.
Stop the grind. Start getting results.
Find the bottleneck in your job search now.
Stay Rebellious,
Michelle
