Candidate,

A few years ago, I flew our entire team to Vegas for our annual retreat.

Starting off the night for some of our IWT team in Vegas

LOL

During one of our work sessions, I broke them into teams and assigned them a business challenge.

After each team presented their idea, I thanked them, we all clapped, then I paused.

"If I gave you $500,000, what would you do to 10X your idea?"

Silence.

I told them they had 10 more minutes to come back with a bigger idea. Each time, the idea was way more impactful, way more creative, and way more FUN.

I love thought exercises like this because it forces us to think bigger and to remove the limitations we thought were real.

What if you had $500,000? $5 million? How would that change your idea?

(You know what's interesting? If an IWT team member had decided to take the lead on one of the ideas and had come to me with a business proposal, I would have funded it.)

Here are a couple more questions worth thinking about.

What if you had a flexible enough schedule to meet your mom for a last-minute lunch when she was in town?

Or what if you got curious about what makes the best coffee and decided to take a coffee class just for the hell of it?

This is the result of going through the process of asking — what If?

What if I decided it was OK to spend money on things that are interesting to me … even if they don't have an immediate ROI? (Like taking a coffee class.)

What if I were more spontaneous?

What if I created a life where I could work when I want, go to lunch with my parents, or travel without worrying about how many vacation days I have?

It's easy to say, "Thought exercises are a waste of time. I don't have $500,000, so what's the point?"

It's a lot more challenging to really ask, "What if?" I also think it's a lot more fun.

I want to share a couple videos that might help spur the possibilities of what a Rich Life could be for you.

Video 1: What if something you do naturally could earn you 6 figures a year?

We all have dreams. For some people though, instead of asking "What if?" and thinking about everything that's possible, they get stuck counting all the reasons their dreams won't work.

"I can't just walk up to her, she'll think I'm creepy"
"I can't lose weight, I'm too busy to exercise"
"I can't start a side business, I don't have anything people would pay for"

This is a dead end — personally and professionally. I see it all the time in aspiring entrepreneurs who assume that starting an online business means they have to create the next Google or Facebook.

Not true at all.

In this video, I'll show you how you can take your existing skills and experiences to start a successful online business (even if you have no business idea right now … think you're not unique … or you're in an ultra-competitive market).

Video 2: What comes after "What if?"

I've spent 10+ years and millions of dollars researching how to help people start online businesses. I've found two main barriers that hold people back:

I don't have an idea. (A "what if?" deficiency)
________________ (Can you guess what the #2 barrier is?)

I'll let you chew on what #2 is, but that first problem is so big I want to crush it for good here and now. In this next video, I'll show you how you can quickly find a great business idea (using skills you already have), then test it to virtually guarantee you'll make money right from the start.

This is the exact same process I used to create 18+ successful products and turn a blog nobody read into a multimillion-dollar business. Click here to check it out:

(By the way, that video I just showed you? Before today it was only available to people who paid thousands of dollars to join my course on how to start an online business. But you're getting it free. Don't say I never did anything for you.)

Many of the limitations we put on ourselves aren't real. Sometimes it just takes the right system — or even just the right question — to help you break through.

P.S. If you're still struggling to find an idea — or if you have too many ideas — I have something that will help you hone in on your perfect business idea:
