🔥 JJ Reps and VD Reps: Your Two Secret Weapons

LIP #274
Mar 13, 2026

Your brain runs in two modes: anxious mode and curious mode. You can't just choose curious - you have to train your way there.

JJ Reps - Training Fear

Inspired by Jia Jiang, who got rejected 100 times on purpose. He discovered:

  • Most people said yes when he explained himself
  • Doing scary things repeatedly makes fear smaller
  • Start easy, get harder over time

Do JJ reps at least twice a week, ideally twice before noon.

VD Reps - Creating Something Shockingly Cool

Not just good. Something that makes you stop and say wow.

  • Must be done efficiently - if it exhausts you, it doesn't count
  • Builds creative confidence alongside fear training

Why Both Matter

  • JJ reps shrink fear, and ego shrinks with it
  • VD reps build the creative muscle

Fear is trainable. Creativity is trainable. You just have to do the reps.
