Repossible

Greetings from Driebergen, Oh, they’re not my 14 minutes. They’re from a woman named Sarah. I’m 7 minutes as an introduction to her. She’s 14. 21 minutes. Worth a listen? Bradley [ https://youtu.be/0YSAbwETbjc ] [ https://youtu.be/NLSQxWSGDCA ]

Greetings from Driebergen, There is often an underlying pressure from “society” ?about what we’re “supposed” to (have to) ?do. ?What if I ?gave you an out, a free pass, the permission to not do something you don’t want to do (but think you have to). ?I’m going to set you free. Make it a great Thursday. Love and fireworks, Bradley [ https://youtu.be/TuCP5hKxGQw ]

It’s up to you whether or not you want to be in the frequency of it. [ https://youtu.be/ShRo8xYKLlk ]

It’s very Silicon Valley, very hard (and very easy at the same time), and is the core of the Worst Book Ever success.

DO Do you dig deeper into your best work? How can you get the most out of your good ideas? Do you take another perspective on your work? For example, in the writing world, writing and narrating are very different. It comes into your brain in a different way. Seems super simple–and it is–but it’s powerful. DON’T DO What are you doing where you shouldn’t be digging deeper? What don’t you like? What are you not so good at? Can you farm it out? Can you just not do it?

Greetings from Driebergen, Here’s a personal invitation to join me in “creating an experience” and do something crazy this year. Let’s kick off the end of Covid (it’s ending soon, right?) by going out of our comfort zone and writing a (super short) book. People ask what we’re “creating” at Worst Book Ever? We’re not creating “authors” but we’re creating experiences. This is me inviting you to “experience” something different this year and let’s do it together, from May 1 to 11th, and have a bit of a blast. Go to worst.repossible.com to check it out. Use the coupon code: THUNDER to save 25%. Maybe we haven’t seen each other for a while. Let’s do this crazy thing together. Just saying. It’s what I’ll be doing on May 1. I hope to see you inside! Love and fireworks, Bradley [ https://youtu.be/2dty-W6iwfI ]

Good evening from Driebergen! How good do you have to be? When do you know if you’re good enough? When do you know enough? When have you taken enough courses, read enough books, listened to enough podcasts and audiobooks and speeches and talks and presentations and then did it all yourself and taught others and learned more and earned another degree and … Tired yet? When? ?Oh, one more thing: ?those clients, those students? They also just need one thing. ?By the way… The power is on Thursdays. Just saying. Bradley BONUS: You get a quick tour of my boys’ school here in the woods in The Netherlands. [ https://youtu.be/FMth-0uW1sM ]

It’s early Thursday morning. So early even Pepper isn’t awake. I’m reading the books from the just-graduated class of “Write Your Worst Book Ever.” They’re good. They’re terrible. They’re the WORST. But there’s a lightness in them, a playfulness, a sense of “lifting” that something has been removed (armor? a cage? ceilings?) and they are free. You can join us from May 1 to May 10, 2021, and if you use the coupon code “THUNDER,” you’ll save 25%. Come join us and break through the flood gates, through the ceilings, and lift up through your heart and up into your worst book ever. https://u.repossible.com/p/wbe/?coupon_code=THUNDER I thought the group promotion was over but it seems to still be functioning.

Greetings from Driebergen! Welcome to 3rd and final episode in the 3-part series “TriTiTo.” Tri: TriggerTi: TimeTo: Together You might be able to trigger the action and you could set up your own deadline but going it alone is a whole other ballgame than working together. Best, Bradley [ https://youtu.be/wPFTiOvwbFA ] From last week’s overview of TriTiTo:

[ https://youtu.be/WNNB-cyNsu4 ] From last week’s overview of TriTiTo:

When recording audiobooks, you need a separate audio file that is always playing alongside your voice recording. You can record your (quiet!) room sound or even find free downloads online for this purpose. I didn’t really understand it at first but it’s not the same as absolute silence. While recording a video for a course the other day, I hit record and before I got in front of the camera, I heard what a “racket” of noise there was in the background. It, of course, was, uh, you know, nature. I’d like 1-minute to be my “Room Tone.” [ https://youtu.be/omsodP8BxQs ]

[ https://youtu.be/zQ06_-pSTYY ] From last week’s overview of TriTiTo:

It’s glittery and snowy outside and I’m feeling sparkly. I have a few questions for you–and a special offer on something. But it depends who you are, who I am, and how we’re connecting in this world. I’ll leave it at that for this week. Stay toasty! [ https://youtu.be/cHvr46KVyBA ]

Remember a month ago? Back before we created the first Repossible Summit? Back then, I couldn’t talk about summits in terms of how many or how good (or even how bad) because I had never done one. Now we have. It was both the worst and the best–and it’s still the only. At least, until the 17th of February. But until then, I’m going to relish The Best Summit Ever. Are you looking to begin something for the first time? Maybe got a few of our favorite limiting beliefs to conquer? If you have a favorite limiting belief you’ve had success overcoming, reply to this email and we could have a chat about it for the upcoming summit: “The Worst & The First.” Until then, Stay warm.

Alumni from the “How to Write Your Worst Book Ever” 7-Day ChallengePete “Procrastination” PardonheimIt’s Thursday. It’s raining. It’s January. It must be Holland. What’s it like in your neck of the woods? This week, I’m visited by 6 “ghosts of the haunted house of writers.” Individuals who had good reasons for not writing their first book until, well, they did it. Scroll below for more and I’m working on more (each is under 4 minutes). This is all leading up to the “Write Your Worst Book Ever” 7-Day Challenge from March 1-8, 2021.Make it a great Thursday, everyone! Bradley P.S. The “Every Single Day” Summit is in full swing! You can still see 4 more speakers in the coming 4 days and watch the last 13 speakers for another week. It’s all here: ESD Summit. [ https://youtu.be/Hg01pYZd4Gg ]

Do you just go for it or do you plan first?Are you a gardener or an architect?Do you just “get started and see what happens” or are you a planner? They’re not mutually exclusive. In fact, being a bit of one combined with lots of the other can be the best combination. Who are you? [ https://youtu.be/c7J5hLLF7q4 ]

Yes, but this: It’s better than the one I didn’t do at allIt’s certainly more timely than the one I postponed (and never materialized)It’s better than the one I was thinking of doing (but never actually did) Yet, it’s also: Not as good as my next one (but the 2nd one wouldn’t exist without the 1st one)Pretty much guaranteed to not REMAIN the worst summit I’ve ever done (as I do more and more of them)Breaking down the barrier to fear that I, apparently, have had for 6 months It’s Thursday. There’s Thunder. The lightning hit 9 months ago when I wanted to do a summit. 9 months later, the thunder rumbles me into action. Who said that … “Lightning is overrated. Thunder is where the energy is.” Have a great week. Oh yeah, I have a summit starting Sunday: The Every Single Day Summit: https://summit.repossible.com. [ https://youtu.be/qMg-osJBNOk ]

Who will you be at the end of 2021? ? ?You know how we “wait” ?for the light at the end of the tunnel? ?What if, just toy with me here for a minute, it’s not a light at the end but what if that light is us at the end? ?What if it’s not the end of the tunnel but the beginning of the opening? ? ?Not the end of the year? ? ?But the beginning of the next? ? ?Happy New Year. ?It’s going to be what we make it–what we make ourselves each week of this year to transform us into who we will become on December 31, 2021.

Sign up to get weekly rumbles of energy weekly in your inbox: https://tt.repossible.com. * * * With a special guest appearance on the show: FEAR. I was all set to talk about how this is the 53rd Thursday of the year and how unexpected that was (seeing that I thought there were always only 52 weeks in a year). Rather than doing the math or consulting a calendar-ologist, I chalked it up to “Accepting an Unexpected Gift.” Yep, 2020 was terrible in so many ways, but there must be some diamonds in the rough. What are yours? The first one that comes to mind for me is the Repossible Retreat in Bali 2022. However… As I was prepping my recording studio (AKA “The Woods”), several fireworks exploded in the distance. It’s Dec. 31 and The Netherlands is going to explode tonight. Pepper is exponentially disproportionately scared of fireworks (and Thunder–but we won’t talk about that too much on the show called Thursday Thunder). Yet where are his fears based? What reality is there in the loud booms? 1.) Are they traumas from his past? 2.) Is it inherent in dogs to be scared of loud, rumbling explosions? (To the point of trembling and panting?) 3.) Is it the fear of the unknown? So I’ll head home, turn on some music (with some bass!) and he can hide out snuggled at our feet or under the stairs. But what about us humans? I’m going to bulldoze over #1 and #2 above and get right to the one I think we have the best chance of overcoming: #3: the fear of the unknown. What do you fear in 2021? Which fears are based on nothing? Which ones exist only in your head? Which of them could we crush underneath the soles of our feet on this fine Thursday, December 31, 2020, to never allow back into our conscious selves again? Could this be both “An Unexpected Gift” and “Fear” wrapped into one little 7-minute episode of Thursday Thunder? Might the gift be not allowing that fear past the gates we enter when we step foot into the new year? What’s your unfounded fear for 2021 we don’t let come with us into the new year? I’ll tell you mine below. Then, only if you like, only if you’d like to get it off your chest, to remove that weight from your shoulders, write yours in there. I won’t share it with anyone. But state it, write it down, make it “real” for a second and then let’s let it remain here in 2020. [ https://youtu.be/OMGDn9bh6Yk ]

They probably won’t jump for joy. They might not thank me immediately. But someday, down the road, maybe WAY down the road, they might look back to this Christmas and say, “Gee, that was the best Christmas gift ever.” Merry Christmas. [ https://youtu.be/vraoByL_3cU ]

The “Repossible Retreat” is planned for 2022 in Bali, Indonesia. Are you coming? What are your “big ideas” for 2021? Or even 2022?

Going deep, going wild in this episode as I turn on the microphone directly after a powerful meditation.

This is a bonus episode of the podcast to share the freshly-minted audiobook chapter from the Repossible audiobook: Roadmap to Repossible Stop #14: SHARE. Here’s a video from last week’s podcast about how SHARE came to me in a meditation download. [ https://youtu.be/3e2M2ATUN7Y ]

This just in. Literally. Book #14 in the Repossible series will be titled: SHARE I’m doing a 28-day meditation challenge this month and on Day 2, this came downloaded into my brain: SHARE. We’re at the 14th step in the Roadmap to Repossible and it’s all about telling your story, sharing your success, and motivating and inspiring those a few steps behind you. We’ll be collecting Repossible Stories at share.repossible.com. Got one already for us? Let us know and we’ll showcase your success. On the path and struggling? Awesome! We want to hear about that, too. I’m actually a little surprised that this title, this book, didn’t come to me earlier but hey, I’m just MC at this event, I’m just the guy with the keys to the conference center, I’m just the messenger. I can’t wait to collect and share your stories of Repossible adventures. If you’d like to hear the chapter from the (revised yesterday) Repossible audiobook, it’s here in a bonus Repossible podcast episode. Do you already have a story from your own Road to Repossible? Or you’d like to listen to someone else’s story of success? We’re going to be collecting them at share.repossible.com. [ https://youtu.be/3e2M2ATUN7Y ]

From the guest lodge in the Highlands of Chimanimani, Zimbabwe, it’s Thanksgiving. I was asked to give a speech about Thanksgiving. But not a regular Thanksgiving, amybe there was a year that it was different. We’re going to take a trip back in time to a faraway country in southeastern Africa. We’re going to take a trip from the “Passive Audience” to the “Active Participant.” It’s absolutely possible to cruise through our own lives as the “Passive Audience.” We watch and we take notes, comment and suggest. Yet if we’re the spectator of our own life, who’s driving? Have you ever noticed when you’re the passenger you don’t really pay attention to where you’ve been or how you got to where you are now?

Pause when speaking, use white space when writing, and give your audience room to breathe. [ https://youtu.be/pnXd9FGkKyk ]

How involved are your collaborators or partners or friends or colleagues? A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”— Wikipedia Sure, the pig in this fable is extremely committed in the short term. The chicken, although only “involved” will at least be around for the long term. So, who’s on your team?

Yep, fame and fortune. Those are nice. But they’re not the *real* reasons to write a book. I might entice you to join the book writing party with raging rivers of flowing cash.

Logical, rational, career, smart reasons to write a book:

To write your book, you need these three things. PassionConnectionBrevity Sure, there are more, but if you don’t have these, all of those others are more difficult or don’t matter. Passion about your message. If you’re not, how can you expect your audience to be? You’ll want to create a connection with your audience. Find that common thread and weave a “relationship.” Contrary to unpopular myths, you don’t need to write a 342-page saga about your message. Brevity is key, welcome, and, let’s face it, real. Once you’ve got those, add in a bit of consistency (whether daily, weekly, or monthly) and you have the ingredients for success.

If you’re struggling figuring out who in the world you’re supposed to be surrendering to, you can always “surrender” to a group. Ever wonder why you can find focus (and more) during a weekend workshop but can’t make it happen on Monday morning alone? Here’s how. In related news, you can “surrender” to a group of people who are all, collectively and individually, going to write a nonfiction book together in November (2020).

You have the information (or had it). You know it. You just can’t seem to access it. Or you know what you want or maybe have an idea of where you’re going. Yet you just can’t seem to get there. Ready to take the biggest leap of all? Here’s a video version via Thursday Thunder. [ https://youtu.be/tmDZSeIUZP4 ]

There’s just one thing you need to do to get from Accept to Believe.

When and why and how does content go viral? Why does one post earn $24,000 and the others $0? Let’s get another statistical certainty out of the way: if you publish and share nothing, the chances of it going viral (and/or earning a single penny) are ZERO. Get it out there, solve a problem, show the steps, share your success. [ https://youtu.be/Bwws-qV2m5Y ]

My book Meditate came out the other day and I’m collecting stories from people who aren’t me about their experiences with meditation. Sudhanya went from meditating just a single minute, yes, 60 seconds, to a daily 5-year meditation practice that has banished fear, filled her with courage, and has given her the daring to find new and unknown meditation practices to play with such as forgiveness.

An answer, an idea, a solution, something unexpected. Just one per day. Through meditation.

It’s easy to wait for the good stuff.
