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.
* A project team from a software company took a year off and started a clothing line.
* 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.
* A biotech company found an extra US$200 million in earnings during a three-day exploration of how the mind worked.

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.

How to Get the Most Out of This Book

I’ve been working with high performers for over 25 years. One of my more memorable teaching experiences came a few years back when I was facilitating a group of coaches in New York City and someone asked a question about ‘the limits of human creativity.’
After letting the conversation run for a bit, I jumped in and pointed out that while the creative output of any individual would inherently be limited, the source and fundamental principles behind that creativity and the source of our own creative power were unlimited.
I got on a bit of a roll, as I am sometimes wont to do, and before I stepped back off my soapbox I completed my rant with a line that my then 16-year-old daughter immortalized by tweeting it out from the back of the room:

"You are the infinite creative potential of the entire f*%king universe - deal with it."
#MyDad

The premise behind this book is the same as the one I shared on that day:

There is an innate creative energy in all of us. It’s the animating spirit that separates the quick from the dead – the life-force that expands our lungs, makes our heart beat, and takes care of every one of our biological functions. If we let it, it will bring fresh new ideas to mind whenever we need them, enabling us to solve any problem and move forward in any creative endeavor.
Our relationship with this energy is the basis of what we call ‘creativity.’ And since this energy is a part of us and we are a part of it, we are all inherently creative.


So, while this is a book about how things are created, it’s also a book about how we can find our role in their creation and embrace that role more fully.
Here are a few pointers to help you get the most out of yourself and this book as you read on:

1. Read for insight, not information

I once met a guy who moved from Los Angeles to New York City after the big Northridge earthquake in 1994 destroyed the apartment building in which he was living. Short on cash but determined to make a fresh start as far away from ‘earthquake country’ as he could get, he moved into a tiny apartment in the Bronx.
His first night in the new building, he woke up at 5 a.m. to feel the floor underneath his bed shaking. Horrified that he had somehow managed to be a part of the first recorded earthquake in New York history, he sat down at his kitchen table to catch his breath and consider his options.
Then at 5:30 a.m. the floor started to shake again. Obviously it was an aftershock from the original quake. Another came at 5:45 a.m. And another at 6 a.m.
The fourth time it happened, it dawned on the man that what he was feeling wasn’t an earthquake. It was the subway running underneath the apartment building.
Although the apartment kept on shaking, after having that realization, he never worried about it again.

In the same way, what impacts us most isn’t information (like knowing there are no earthquakes in New York City), it’s insight – the realization of something that’s always been true, regardless of what we happen to believe.
So my suggestion is that as best you can, read through each chapter in the book the way you might read a thriller or some light beach reading. Enjoy it, savor it even, but don’t think you need to take notes or remember everything word for word.

2. Look for principles, not strategies
Most books on creativity, goal-setting, productivity, and performance are packed with ‘how to’ strategies designed to be followed step by step. Will following those steps take you where you want to go? Unfortunately, that’s the exception, not the rule. True creativity is an individual and in the moment process, and there are no guarantees when it comes to results.
However, there are iron-clad principles that we can rely on no matter what. These invisible forces are at work in the world whether we know about them or not. They...
