Due to the increasing volume of visitors to this blog, I created a category to help folks quickly get up to speed on the Living Into Greatness concepts, my upcoming book Coaching Into Greatness, and my emerging body of work on Abundance Intelligence.

Here's your cheat sheet:

Coaching Into Greatness: 4 Steps to Success in Business and Life will be released by Wiley & Sons in late April. The book explores the REAL reasons people get stuck and don't do what they CAN do by outlining a new way of looking at abundance and scarcity mentality in individuals. 

Big ideas of CIG:

• How you show up in business is directly related to how you show up in life
• True abundance is being who you are
• The ultimate scarcity is resisting who you are
• There is a tipping point where patterns in our lives become a source of scarcity thinking
• Becoming something or someone is a load of crap -- there is nothing to "become" -- when you realize you are already great you can begin to live into your greatness
• Struggle is strictly overrated
• There are 7 Illusions of scarcity thinking
• There are 7 Aptitudes of abundant thinking

Abundance Intelligence (AQ) is a pioneering system of aptitudes, conscious patterns, and beliefs that enable a person to do what they CAN do.  A person with a high AQ demonstrates an authentic, abundant response to life.  In other words, they consistently utilize the abundance aptitudes to be who they are in the world, when it matters most.  This blog regularly features people with high AQ in the "AQ in Action" category. 

The Living Into Greatness process is the 4 step process that moves individuals and organizations from scarcity to abundance.  The 4 steps are:

• Awareness
• Acceptance
• Consistent Action
• Authenticity

In summary:

Positive thinkers see the cup as half full.
People in scarcity see the cup as half empty.
People in abundance see the cup as overflowing.
But people living into their greatness ARE the cup.
