What If You Could?
As a student of psychology, I’m often fascinated by what makes the
most successful people in America different than the rest. It is
interesting to note that the top 20% of our citizens control fully 94%
of the country’s wealth. So what is it that makes them soar while the
rest flounder near the ground? I think I might have an answer.
I don’t think that millionaires are necessarily smarter or even more
risk-tolerant than other people. I think they simply see more
opportunities for wealth creation than the rest of us. They find more
ways to win because they don’t worry about losing.
Imagine what your next week would be like if every time you were
faced with a new opportunity or desire, you thought to yourself, “What
if I could do that?” and then “How can I do that?” Would you life be
dramatically different? Based on my experience and my observations of
highly successful people, I’d bet so.
Let me use an example from my own business to illustrate. As you
know, I’m a bit lazy and I really don’t like working 9-5 or even five
days a week. So I began to think, “What if I could find a way to earn a
seven-figure income and not have to come in to work everyday?” Sounds a
bit far-fetched doesn’t it? It did to me, too, but I simply accepted
that it was possible; I just hadn’t figured out how to do it yet.
That set my mind to working on the “how” I might accomplish the
goal. Once I had gotten beyond the impossibilities, I began to see the
possibilities. And “BOOM” an amazing idea bounced into my head. Just
like that, I had a million-dollar idea, fully-formed and ready to
execute.
I’m not going into the details right now but suffice to say that the
project is underway and beginning to take form. It’s a big idea so it’s
taking a bit of development time but interestingly all the resources I
need for it keep showing up just as I need them. Even more interesting
is that most of the resources are free.
What could you accomplish if you allowed yourself to do so? What
could you become or have or do if you didn’t hold yourself back; if you
assumed that everything you attempted would succeed wildly?
Make a list of ideas you have and start figuring out how to make
them real. Ignore the obstacles and just let your creativity flow.
Focus on how things will work and pay not attention to what could go
wrong. You’ll soon find yourself coming up with “obvious” answers you
never thought of before.
Once you’ve got some ideas, starting implementing them right away.
If you thought thinking them up was fun, wait to you start doing them!
I’ll look forward to hearing what amazing ideas you come up with and I’ll share my new idea as it gets closer to completion.
