Love him or loathe him, you can’t avoid The Musketeer.
a.k.a. Elon Musk.
Barely a day goes by without a headline about Elon aiming for Mars or stirring things up on Twitter.
One recent headline that had the world talking?
Elon’s “chopsticks”.
I’m sure you know the
story.
Elon took one look at the space industry and thought “Why can’t we make rockets reusable?”
SpaceX’s first three rockets failed miserably and SpaceX almost went belly up.
But on the fourth attempt, a SpaceX rocket made it into orbit. Then SpaceX’s Falcon 9 became the first rocket to be reused. And now SpaceX is testing its next innovation, Elon’s infamous chopsticks.
The chopsticks are designed to turn a controlled
crash into a clean catch.
They’re the perfect example of rethinking how things should work.
See, The Musketeer didn’t need anyone’s permission or approval to create a reusable rocket. Take one look at Elon and you
instantly sense this is a guy who doesn’t give a tinker’s cuss what anyone else thinks.
He just gets on with it.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit that Elon has some faults.
But this is still one hell of a useful attitude when it comes to creating cool stuff in the world.
Elon's not the only one. It worked the same way with the Wright Brothers.
Pick any so-called aviation “expert” from the early 1900s and most would’ve told you that human flight was impossible. There were literally hundreds of reasons why it would never work.
But the Wright Brothers didn’t think it was impossible.
Even though they knew scoobie-doo about engineering, they asked themselves the question “I wonder how humans can fly”. And after studying a few birds and whipping up some gliders, they invented the first powered aircraft in 1903.
Examples like this are ten a
penny.
For instance, when all the traditional vacuum companies insisted that vacuums needed to have a bag, James Dyson raised a dusty eyebrow and revolutionised the wonderful world of cleaning appliances with the first bagless vacuum.
One thing is clear from these examples:
The negative nancies and naysaying normans who whine “that can never be done” will certainly never do it. They’ve already made up their minds.
But those
who say “I wonder…” seem to have a lot more success.
Sure, some things really are impossible. You’ll never teach a goldfish to ride a bicycle.
But when it comes to creating something cool in the world, all your reasons
about why it won’t work are irrelevant.
And here’s why:
Creation doesn’t take place in the realm of reason.
It takes place in a realm of play and passion. Of freedom and flow. Of mischief, magic and momentum.
As it happens, this is the very same realm that Michael Neill’s latest program Creating the Impossible takes place in too.
The program guides you step by step through the creative process and shows you how to take your very own cool, impossible project and bring that project to life.
If you sign up for Creating the Impossible before 7pm UK Time on Saturday (about 18 hours from now), I’ll throw a couple of bonuses into the mix for you
too. More info on those below.
But first, you might want to read more about the program.
Here’s where to go to blast off:

p.s. I took part in Creating the Impossible (CTI) in 2023 and it blew me away.
The principles I learnt during the program opened up a new world for me. These principles are now the bedrock of my own coaching.
And because I know first-hand what a life-changing experience CTI can be, I’m throwing two bonuses into the mix so you have no reason NOT
to sign up for the program.
The first bonus is two 1 hour 1-on-1 coaching calls with me.
(I currently charge £500 for three 1 hour 1-on-1 calls – I’ll let you do the maths)
You can use these two calls however you like. Need some clarity on a decision you’ve been mulling over? Got a challenge you’d like to overcome? Want to spend less time in your head? Would you love to find more day-to-day energy, joy & peace of mind?
Nothing is off
the table. It’s totally up to you.
The second bonus?
I’m hosting a one-off group Zoom session for anyone on my newsletter who joins CTI.
I’m calling this session CTI Cheat Code.
During the session, I’ll be sharing tips, insights and lessons from when I completed the program in 2023. It’s kind of like a backstage pass so you can squeeze every last drop of magic out of your own CTI experience.
I haven’t set a date and time for this call yet. But it’ll probably be a weekday evening UK time in the next few weeks.
To collect these two bonuses, you MUST email me your CTI receipt by 7pm UK time on Saturday.
If your receipt lands in my inbox even a minute after 7pm on Saturday, it’s too late.
