This mantra seriously changed my life: “What if you can?” Tweet this
Right, let me just share a story with you first. In 2009, I was working in an investment company, and the company just had a restructuring, that means my job was at risk.
As a foreigner, if I lose my job, I also lose my right to stay in this country, so I was really panicking and the company was kind enough to arrange some life coaching sessions for me, and initially I thought “Oh fantastic, someone professional is going to help me!” and I was going to focus on me and help me to see some light over this really challenging period. I walked into the session with great hope and the coach asked me what I wanted to do.
So I opened myself up, and I said “You know, I really want to have my own business. I’m not exactly sure what it is yet, but I don’t want to be a permanent employee anymore. The immediate response I got was “What if you are going to fail?”
I was so shocked in that moment, you know. With all the newspapers telling us the start-up failing stories, and with lots of family members telling you you are not supposed to take any risks, I didn’t really need my coach to tell me the same thing. So I stopped the sessions with that person immediately. I think she was probably just trying to look out for me, but that was not what I needed. I needed someone to challenge me, say Yiye, what if you can and what actions are you taking today to make this possible. I needed that type of spirit and attitude.
But, that conversation has left a big impression on me. From that point on, I decided that I’m going to be my own cheerleader regardless. I kept asking myself this question. “What if I can?” And later on when I actually managed to quit the corporation, and launch this online business and when I actually made my first five figure month from previously low four figure months, I was also asking myself this question every single day. What if I can? What do I need to do today to support this decision?
So when I’m working with the clients, at times we do run through a worst case scenario planning, depending on the nature of the client. You know, just to get over it. But I always ask them, What if you can?
What if your creative project is successful? What if you can change people’s life? What if people are so happy to pay for your service? What if you can launch your business in a month? What if you can earn your six figure year? What if you can manifest the money to go on a holiday with your family? What if you can? What if you can have it all?
Gradually, this mind set will become more and more addictive because your life will take on to a completely different level and that is beyond your imagination. That is so satisfactory, that is so joyful. So come on, do yourself a favor. You have more than enough people in your life asking you “What if you going to fail?” You know what I mean, yeah? So I really want you to take the initiative, ask yourself What if you can. What if you can?
