From Choose To Create

People often ask me how to move out of the “Choose” phase and into the “Create” phase.

Where do you start?

When do you start?

How do you start?

My friend Mike Dooley answered that question very nicely today!  I met Mike back in 2004.  In 2005 he wrote an outstanding testimonial for my book, which I was proud to feature prominently on the back cover.

If you don’t know Mike, he is the author of a free daily email service called “Notes From The Universe“.  In a nutshell, once you sign up, you get a quick, often funny, always thought-provoking, personalized email from “The Universe” 5 days per week. And these are some powerful emails! (If you don’t already get them…sign up now!)

He started sending them to 38 people in 1998 and now has over 300,000 subscribers in 189 countries! Oh, and he was also featured in The Secret. See where being friends with me can get you? (Take a moment, right now and add me as a friend on Facebook and/or follow me on Twitter.)

Anyhow – back to my point.  Here’s what Mike wrote in today’s “Note from the Universe”:

Patrick, I love this job! You know, writing you every day.
Do you know how I got it?
No, besides being the Universe and getting whatever I want.
Yes! I just started doing it.
And that’s all anything takes.

The Universe

PS: Of course it’ll feel funny at first, Patrick, might even look funny, but how badly do you want what you want?

And there you have it my friends!  The recipe for moving from “Choose” to “Create”.  I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks Mike!
