What would your life be like if, no matter what happens in the future, you knew with complete certainty – that you’d be okay?
One thing the last few months have proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that inconceivable things can happen, and fast. Things that nobody in their wildest dreams, fantasies or nightmares, would have thought possible. Events that have turned our world upside down.
Now it has been proven that the unthinkable can happen, a huge dilemma appears on the horizon. What else could happen? What other things that we currently consider to be certain, may suddenly crumble?
A few months ago I wrote about the technique called Po, or creative provocations. These are wildly untrue statements presented to stimulate a creative thinking session. For a while, you imagine the statement to be true, and generate ideas on a particular problem you are wrestling with.
For instance:
- Po: The US Dollar becomes worthless.
- Po: Residential house values drop by 80%.
- Po: Countries cease to become a viable socioeconomic structure.
Of course, these ideas are ludicrous.
Or are they?
If any one of these things actually happens, would you be okay? Would your career and life be okay? And, how would you feel?
As you may know, at the start of this year I experienced a devastating tragedy, the loss of one of my children. By the end of February, I was on a high. I knew with complete certainty, that no matter what happened in the future, I would be okay.
Then the world started to change, dramatically and fast.
Yet throughout all of it, I have been able to maintain that feeling of complete certainty, knowing that I would be okay.
And, right now, I sit here with huge levels of optimism, based on that core feeing, built with deep reflection and I can promise you that I have not taken leave of my senses.
What I have done is built a big bold vision of the future (at least around me), have determined my strategy and now have a plan in place to maximise my progress towards that ideal state.
If you’ve been following my writing closely over the last few months, you may have seen hints and clues along the way, but now I want to go further.
On 30th June, I will be hosting a special Zoom MasterMind session for a small number of guests. During the event, I will share the work I have been doing. I will explore the powerful insights that have shaped my perspective and action. More importantly, I will offer my guests a structured approach so that they too can:
- Build a clear vision of their future.
- Develop a strategy that will rapidly move them towards that future.
- Create a tangible plan of action to get going fast.
My goal, for the session, is that all of my guests will know what action they need to take so they can quickly acquire the belief that:
“No matter what happens in the future, I know for certain that I’ll be okay!”
Would you like to join me on 30th June at 1pm British Summer Time, for an hour or so? It is important that this is only available to people who will take it seriously, so there will be a small charge for attending the event, and I’ll make sure to provide preparatory exercises and follow-up materials too. Oh, and if you do come along, I’ll also give you full access to the Influence Blog, so you can also browse past articles to your heart’s content.
Remember, I’m going to keep the numbers low so that you’ll be able to fully participate in the discussions during the MasterMind session.
NB: No places remain now on the 1pm Event, so I’ve decided to run it a second time on 30th June.
Apologies, all places have now been taken. If you missed out and would be interested in learning more, please email us and we’ll keep you posted of new developments on this topic.
