How Can Abraham Hicks’ “What-if-itis” Help Grow Your Business?

I was recently listening to a CD of Abraham Hicks. In the CD, he talked about both “What-is-itis” and “What-if-itis”.
“What-is-itis” occurs when you are being held back from things in your reality. “What-if-itis” occurs when you’re worried about what hasn’t happened yet, and that worry keeps you from moving ahead.
As I listened to the CD, I thought about one of my clients. Let’s just call her “Sue”.
Sue suffered from “What-if-itis”. She was afraid to call a prospect who was referred to her. All she could think about was what would happen. She couldn’t see anything positive coming out of from the conversation. She didn’t believe that she was prepared for the client, or that she had had everything she needed for the client.
I worked with Sue to get rid of her “What-if-itis” until she could finally get past her fear and call the prospect.
Once she did, not only did she have a great conversation with prospect, she landed a new client that she loves working with. This only happened when she finally got off the starting block by removing her “What-if-itis”.
As the Abraham Hicks explained in his CD, there are a number of different types of “itis”. Each one has the same result — they hold you back from achieving the success you deserve. These include:
- “What-if-itis. Worrying about what hasn’t happened yet.
- “What-is-itis”. Fearing things in your currently reality.
- “Perfectionistic-itis”. Trying to make everything perfect.
- “Analysis-paralisis-itis“. Spending so much time thinking everything through that you don’t take risks. Spending all your time planning ahead for problems that might occur.
So, what “itis” is holding YOU back in business?
You need to solve these “itis’s” by making peace with where you are now. Then activate the “How I want it to be” part of you. You do this by focusing on how you want your business or life to be instead of how it really is, or how you are thinking of it now.
You have to get off the starting block! Unless you identify the fear that is holding you back, you’ll stay stuck.
Here’s what you need to do now to get past your starting blocks:
- Focus on how you want your business to be
- Identify the “itis’s” that are blocking you from moving forward (are you fearing something that already is? something that might happen? Are you trying to make things perfect? Are you overanalyzing things?)
- Push past the “itis’s” that are blocking you from moving forward
It may take a little time to get comfortable with this process. But by doing this 3-part exercise every day, it will soon be second nature to you!
