[Amp Up Your Business] Lesson #6: Get Unstuck by Getting into Wave Mode

Possibilities Amplified Home Page | About Kim | Possibilia | The Amp It Up! Blog | Resources

 Dear Visitor,

One of the most powerful tools used by my clients to create the results they want is to let go of what they think they know, and open up to new possibilities.  While you're holding on to your "one way" of how things should work, the universe will be stymied in delivering your desired result to you.  This simple tool has helped my clients and readers more than double their revenues in 3 months, reach 1-year sales goals in a little over one month, pay back large amounts of debt, and more.  Here's how the science works:

Electrons, like other subatomic particles, are able to be everywhere at the same time when they are in wave mode. In wave mode, all possibilities are available.

You, too, have a wave mode, when all possibilities are available to you. These are the moments before making decisions, or before choosing your next course of action. When you're in wave mode, it's a great time to imagine the results you want to achieve, or the dream you will make come true. The wave mode is jam-packed with answers, ideas and inventions just waiting for you to ask for them.

Getting into wave mode is a function of asking the right questions. Questions that start with "If" are wonderful wave mode kick-starters. Here are some great questions to get into wave mode:

1. If this could work, how would it work?

2. If I did know the answer, what would it be?

3. If I designed the perfect process, what would it look like?

4. If I had access to any resource I needed to make this happen, what would they be?

5. If my dream had already come true, what would my life look like now?

These questions and others like them will catapult you into the realm of possibility. But the most important question of all to ask is, "Is this the right question?" If you've started out on your quest for possibility with limitations in your questions, you will limit the answers you get back from this process. Let's look at an example of using the wave mode to uncover and access invisible possibilities, while at the same time looking at how to liberate you from limitations in the process.

A small business owner has decided that she's not generating enough revenue in her business. She feels strongly that she needs to increase her consulting revenues by $10,000 per month. She sets up a brainstorming session with her staff, and asks the question: "How can we grow consulting revenues by $10,000 per month?"

Lots of ideas are contributed. After the session is over, the entrepreneur reviews the suggestions. None of them feel like a $10K answer, but she hopes that by trying multiple suggestions at once, she'll get there. Her confidence level about achieving her goal is something less than 100 percent.

 Can you see how she limited the answers she got back? She started out by asking how to grow consulting revenues. If she'd asked instead, "How can we grow revenue by $10,000 per month?" and not limited the question to consulting, new revenue streams might have been invented right in that meeting. Perhaps the additional revenue burden could have been shared by different products or services offered by the company. And if the ultimate goal behind increasing company revenues by $10,000 a month was to put $5,000 more a month in her own pocket, imagine what possibilities might have opened up by specifically asking how to do that. For example, she could open a second business, or cut costs, or go work for someone else, or pick up some paid speaking engagements. By deciding in advance how the universe would deliver what she desired, she cut off other possibilities that would work perfectly well.

You can see how quickly our small business owner moved from strategically looking at the possibilities for increasing income to the tactical solutions. She had the right idea in setting up a brainstorming session, but she was brainstorming at too low a level. She'd already decided some of the variables. The wave mode is about expansiveness, about opening up all the doors and windows and seeing what flies in.

I once questioned Margaret Atwood, famous author of The Handmaid's Tale and many other works, about where she gets her ideas. She said, "Put your left hand on the table in front of you, put your right hand in the air...and stay that way. You are now a conductor of ideas. Ideas will begin swooping through you. If an idea happens to swoop through your mind, you can capture it and use it. It's yours."

To be a conductor of both possibility and ideas, ask the most unlimited questions you can imagine.
