Ideas are responsible for virtually everything you can see, touch or interact with on this plane.
The Matrix trains its slaves to discount the power of the magic between your two ears. But it is from that space that so much of what you can see and touch was created.
School didn’t teach you to think. It taught you to perform. Like a dog. The “treats” were labeled with letters, the negative reinforcement came in many forms, from “bad” letters, to detention, even expulsion, the physical release from prison marketed to students in a way to make it sound like it was something terrible!
Almost every area of your life and business first existed as an idea, somewhere, sometime, somehow.
I’m an idea person. I can feel the ENERGY in an idea, the energy of possibility, the energy of what it can become. When I sit down to write, this is how I choose what to write about. Where is the energy? Where is the flow going? What is already moving?
Without ideas, I never would have made it in business. I’d still be pacing the car lot where I managed to work for an entire three months, wondering why all of the people willing to lie to the buyers were selling so many cars and why I, Mr. Nice Guy, was getting nothing. (I could sell Corvettes for some reason.)
Luckily, I found ideas. Ideas that helped me create another reality. Ideas that were not approved by the “powers that were.” Ideas they would call DANGEROUS. Because they were ideas that restored the power of the human to create his own freedom.
“Why would I trade money for ideas? They don’t do anything for me. They just sit there.” This is what the Matrix teaches you to think about things you can’t see.
It’s not about what the idea can do for you, it’s about what you can do with the idea. This means YOU do the work to take the value of the idea and transform it into something with 10X, 20X, 100X the value.
THIS IS ALCHEMY.
I work with clients who do this. They invest 5, 10, 20, 40 years in the growth of even just ONE core idea and transform it into many millions of dollars.
The world of business runs on ideas. With the advent of A.I. and anyone’s ability to slop anything together, it is the power of the IDEA which remains the true alchemical fuel for success.
Ideas come from thinking, from connecting to nature, from the consciousness field, from whatever you want to call the being responsible for all of us being here. God. The Universe, whatever. Those are the best ideas. You don’t come to these by thought, you just notice when they pop in, from who knows where, with virtually zero effort. They just APPEAR.
On Monday, I’ll be sending a bunch of big ideas to be distributed all over the world in the form of the Renegade Letter. It’s a print newsletter I’m launching for anyone who doesn’t think the way of the masses is the smart way to go in business. It’s for the thinkers. For the people who understand what to do with an idea. For the people who know that even ONE idea, the right idea, can completely transform your future.
If you haven’t noticed, being a member of the herd is getting harder and harder to deal with. Less freedom, less money, less opportunity, less power.
I see that and my instinct is to turn around and walk the other way. That’s what this newsletter is about. Walking ANOTHER WAY in business.
You can do this all by yourself, by the way. Just look at what everyone is doing, and do something different. But if you want some help, some more ideas about what that can look like, and a hefty dose of inspiration and advice (from someone who LIVES this) to keep you walking, then that’s what this new newsletter is for.
One big idea can change your life. I know this because it’s happened to me.
