Here's what I want to talk to you about.
It's possible for you to take a situation in which you've had success by taking a risk
that you hadn't taken before, and generalize that process of taking a risk to all kinds
of situations in the future.
Let me tell you a little story about that exact thing.
If you were to go to my website right now and look under testimonials, you would find
a testimonial from Matthew Andrae.
Who's Matthew Andrae?
He was somebody who read my book a long time ago, when it first came out, and in my book
are suggestions for ways you can do things differently, and one of them is to change
around your workspace because a workspace that looks like it's a place you could really
do important things in feels good to you.
Matthew told me later, I didn't know this at the time, that he'd read my book, and he
said he looked for the one thing that he thought he could do that would be the least scary
and have the least affect on his life.
He took a day.
He moved junk out of a room that was a spare room.
It has a fire extinguisher hanging on it and, you know, that kind of stuff.
He cleared it all out, and he put up a mic stand, and he put up a video camera.
And Matthew Andrae, I didn't know it then, was a musician who had a big following around
Santa Fe.
Outside of Santa Fe, he was probably barely known, but he was loved, and he sang these
songs.
But what he did on the afternoon that he filled out this space to create a workspace was he
got the mic hooked up, he got the video hooked up, and he decided that he was going to sing
a song for his baby, four month old daughter, Celine.
And his song, Sweet Celine, he recorded it, put it up on YouTube, and YouTube liked it.
They promoted it, and when I heard from him, he already had 500,000 hits on that song.
Well, all kinds of things began to happen, and he got an offer to come to France with
French jazz musicians who were the top of the top and record an album, and he got scared
about what could happen.
He was already saying, I'm going to do something that creates the least amount of change, and
I coached him about how to handle that situation.
And he went from that to learning, hold on.
Wait a minute.
If I can do that, why don't I just take a risk on some important other things?
And one thing that he did next was, Imogen Heap, a British musician who's very, very
looked up to for amazingly creative work, selected him out of a slew of other people
to go with her and accompany her on a particular song, and then he got the chance to sing some
of his own stuff live, on stage, between acts with Imogen Heap.
He wound up doing a world tour with Imogen Heap, and when I talked to him recently, what
he told me he's doing now as a kid from the reservation in Santa Fe is he's going to Harvard
and getting his masters degree, something years ago he would've thought he could never
do, something that was maybe buried as an idea.
Wouldn't it be cool if?
He told me, and in the testimonial, if you'll look at it, I get goose bumps now just talking
about it, he'll say, what I do with my life now is do impossible things that people tell
me can't happen, but I do them, and I take them on, and I master them.
He's even got ideas about problems he can solve in the world!
He's amazing, and he's living his life by generalizing expectancies that bore fruit
in one situation and saying, wow!
Wait a minute.
If I step out in faith and do something, take a risk, put my butt on the line, things can
happen.
He says, now that's all I do is I look for things that I can do that involve risk and
opportunity.
Guess what.
You can do the same thing.
I work with people on how to do that all the time, and I get to watch what happens every
day.
You can do it, too.
Since you're a high achiever you may know about this.
High achievers often hit a wall.
They're going along, they're having one success after another and then suddenly, something
happens and they grind to a halt.
And it's confusing because they're not sure what it is they've done wrong if anything.
They just know that they're not moving anymore the way they're used to moving.
The way they have moved in the past.
If you've run into like what seems like a ceiling over you and you're kind of in a fog
and you're mystified by what's getting in your way, you can even kind of slide into
a swirl of doubts and wonder if you ever really achieved anything significant at all and whether
any of your amazing achievements you have done were anything but kind of fronting or
a little bit of a fraud.
That is really negative and pernicious and it doesn't have to be that way.
