Here’s an excerpt from the introduction:

What’s Your Impossible Dream?

What’s the craziest, most outlandishly wonderful thing you can imagine doing over the year ahead? Is it starting a new business? Paying off your debts? Traveling the world?

Do you want to write a book, sell your screenplay, or show your art in a gallery? Maybe you want to knock off one of your perpetual New Year’s resolutions and learn Italian, run a marathon, or finally fit into that dress you’ve been keeping in your closet.

Or do you long for something even more ambitious – to become a leader in your field, meet and marry your one true love, add a couple of zeros to your income, and make a significant difference in the world?

If these dreams sound ridiculous, or even impossible, good. In fact, that’s kind of the point…

Over the past seven years, thousands of people have joined me for an online adventure I call ‘Creating the Impossible.’ I encourage participants to choose something they want to create that’s far beyond their current sense of what’s possible. By the time the program is complete, they’ve often met or exceeded their own expectations of how much can be created in a
limited amount of time. They’ve created new jobs, new relationships, and new income. They’ve lost weight, started companies, invented products, left bad situations, broken habits, gotten married, and moved on with their lives in ways they hadn’t thought possible. More importantly, they’ve unleashed something fundamental inside themselves and learned to live their lives with an ever-expanding sense of possibility.

How have they done it? They’ve come to understand a simple truth about the mind that we’ll explore together throughout this book – what I call ‘the inside-out understanding’ – and woken up to a deeper part of themselves – their innate health, creativity, and resilience.

For the past 40 years or so, people have been using this knowledge to create results that seemed impossible and foolhardy to even contemplate:

• A couple met, fell in love, and now travel the world as the leaders of a non-profit organization, sharing what they see as the one solution to all global problems (pp.83–84).

• A project team from a software company took a year off and started a clothing line (pp.193–95).

• An aerospace company cut the production time on an 18-month military project in half without increasing the budget or giving their employees heart attacks along the way (pp.205–206).

• A biotech company found an extra US$200 million in earnings during a three-day exploration of how the mind worked (pp.209–210).

Now it’s your turn!

In the first part of this book, ‘Making the Invisible Visible,’ I’ll guide you through the creative process and introduce you to the principles behind the inside-out understanding. You’ll gain a new appreciation for how the mind works that will make it easier than ever for you to navigate the highs and lows of daily life while creating inspired and inspiring results in the world. I’ll illustrate the secrets of effortless (and exponential) productivity and share the formula for creating that I’ve taught to nearly all my corporate and individual clients over the years – a simple two-step process that makes creating pretty much anything a straightforward proposition.

Then in the second part, ‘Making the Impossible Possible,’ I’ll coach you through a 90-day program that will help you get your own impossible dreams out of your head and into the world. The only things you’ll need to bring to the table are something you’d love to create and a willingness to change your mind once and for all about what’s truly possible in your world.
