Experience AQ

Read the book and wondering what all of this means for you?

Curious about what your Abundance Quotient is?

Looking to do more of what you can do?

Due to overwhelming demand, I've opened up another AQ group coaching program, to begin in early August. The AQ group experience is specifically designed for individuals who want to discover, explore, and develop their Abundance Intelligence.

This is no fancy study group.

This is a focused, action oriented, get you to "do what you can do" next level program delivered in a small, trusted environment with other AQ Pioneers exploring the process.

Participants state their Declarations - their public promise of who they are and the greatness they are living into, and together through coaching and collaboration, we explore how the Illusions of scarcity thinking and the Aptitudes of abundant thinking impact your greatness.

The group coaching experience is also a pre-requisite for those wishing to apply for AQ Leader Certification.

For more information, and to set up a complimentary AQ review, send an email here, with AQ group coaching in the subject line.

But hurry - only 3 spots remain for the August class! An informational session will be held on Monday, July 31st.

Availability

In the past month, the first group of AQ Pioneers in the Leader Certification track have been exploring the Illusion of Time. After our discussion last night, something came to me today.

So often we talk about a person's ability.

Their strengths.

Whether they are ENOUGH.

For lots of us, seeing our shortcomings or those of others is easy to do. In fact, it's downright habitual.

But abundance is not about a person's ability. Not if we believe that we are born great. That we are ENOUGH. That we already have everything we need, choose, and want to be who we are.

When we're abundant, there's no questioning. We already ARE.

Abundance is about our AVAILABILITY.

The question is not can you do it, but will you do it? Are you open and ready and willing to be who you are?

Right here. Right now.

Today.

A person can have all the ability in the world, but if they are not available to abundance, then nothing happens. More of the same - living on the surface of life.

What are you focused on? Questioning your Ability or your Availability?

Highlights from the Abundance Summit - Tim Sanders

Here are some highlights from Tim's appearance at the first ever Abundance Summit:

Faith and endurance equals success.

The new brand of courage is TRUST. Trust is the new competitive advantage.

Scarcity goes it alone and is only in our minds. Find the scarcity in your life and give it away. You will find the result reinforces that scarcity is only a a story we bought into.

Sustainability requires being real.

Courageous Abundance

"When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."

Audre Lorde

Being abundant - exercising the freedom to be who you are - is the hardest thing in the world to do.

And yet, it is also the easiest thing to do.

If we only have awareness of the power of who we are.

You've had those moments, haven't you? When you've grasped the power of your greatness, the power of your uniqueness.

Maybe it was a split second. The pure, unbridled beauty of who you are fit together perfectly with where you are.

And you understood.

You knew.

But then something happened. Something came along - a thought, an old belief, a comment from a friend. And that knowing was gone.

Why is it so challenging to live who we are more frequently than not?

It's got to do with our fears. When we lose that knowing, it's because our fear is bigger than our courage.

But what is fear if not perception? Conditioning? Learned behavior?

What is stalling your Courageous Abundance?

Highlights from the Abundance Summit - Dr. Joe Vitale

In the coming week, I'm going to share with you highlights from the first ever Abundance Summit that I held on June 20th. These are a combination of my personal highlights, and comments from many of you who participated in the Summit.

First up . . . Dr. Joe Vitale.

"Abundance is active."

Joe personifies abundance in action. This is due to a great extent because of his viewpoint on competition.

"In marketing, competition does not exist. Abundance says there is enough for everyone. A customer is born every minute. We help and serve the same audience.

"Worry more about having an idea worth stealing than having one stolen.

"When we come from competition, we create it. Focus on the greatness of your ideas, rather than trying to control what's outside of you.

"We are in control of our mind and we create our own world."

What Is Meant For You

195938_black_sun.jpg

I was talking with a client a few weeks ago and we were discussing the Illusion of Time and the need to do things right now, to seize the opportunity in the moment.

Of course, this is absolutely true. Seize the present. Do what you CAN do.

But when does doing what you CAN do actually become a source of scarcity? When does it reach the Tipping Point?

The secret is in the motivation. What is motivating you to act? Is it to be perfect, to get it right, right now because there is no room for failure?

Are you actually motivated to act because you fear this opportunity may never come again, so you have to take hold of it, reign it in, control it?

We must all be present to the opportunities in front of us, and act on the ones that inspire us, not motivate us.

Ultimately, the person with a high AQ understands that

what is meant for us can never be lost.

This is not a license for laziness or second guessing.

This is a license to trust.

To have faith.

To believe in the abundance of opportunity, the abundance of all things.

When you live your life from the perspective that nothing can be lost to you as long as you are showing up as who you are - that is Courageous Abundance.

It takes guts to practice Courageous Abundance.

It's never been easy. But the time is now.

If not now, when?
