Section One - The Final Freedom
True abundance is exercising the freedom to be who you are.
The ultimate scarcity is resisting who you are.
But what is true freedom?
There are many different types of freedom: physical freedom, financial freedom, creative
freedom, mental freedom. All of these freedoms are unique and distinct, except for one thing.
All freedom depends on choice.
Your circumstances dont determine your freedom.
You do.
What a minute! You say. Thats not true! What about someone whos imprisoned? How
can you say they have freedom?
Im stuck in a dead end job in this miserable economy; a family to feed, a mortgage and car
payment to make. I dont have any options I have responsibilities! Im not free! Im just
surviving.
Hold on a minute. Im not asking you to take my hand and go skipping gleefully through a field
of daisies with blinders on.
Hear me out.
Nelson Mandela. Victor Frankl. Immaculee Ilibagiza. Darryl Hunt. Some of these names may
be familiar and some not.
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years for speaking out against apartheid. Yet, when he
was released, he went on to lead the very country that had once imprisoned him .
2
Victor Frankl lived through the Nazi concentration camps, facing despicable horrorsall the
while maintaining and fueling his sense of kindness, gratitude and abundance.
Immaculee Ilibagiza survived the Rwanda genocide, hiding out in a cramped bathroom with 7
others for 91 days, yes, 91 days. It would have been so easy for her to be consumed by hatred,
bitterness and resentment. Instead, she actively sought out her familys killers and forgave
them.
Darryl Hunt, wrongfully imprisoned for a 1984 murder, spent nearly 19 years in prison.
Recently, he spoke to the graduating class of Duke Law and said this, Every person should have
some conviction to stand on. The only thing I had was my innocence. In regard to his attitude
upon being released, he said, I wanted to live. Bitterness and hatred can eat you up on the
inside. I was at peace in my heart.
I wanted to live.
And then theres the story of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting back in 2006. A man killed ten
schoolgirls and then committed suicide, leaving a wake of unspeakable grief and horror.
Amazingly, the Amish community quickly responded, not with anger, but with unconditional
forgiveness to the murderer reaching out to his family with baskets of food and warm
welcomes to their homes.
These are not just powerful stories of forgiveness.
These are powerful stories of individuals, and entire communities, choosing to respond
authentically in a way that is right for them having the strength and courage to choose a
response that most of us wouldnt choose, or wouldnt have the guts to choose.
True freedom is choosing to live who you are in a conditioned world.
While many, if not most, would take the easy road of anger and revenge, these people
demonstrate the power of being grounded in authenticity and living a full out expression of
who you are, especially when its painful, scary, uncertain, and challenging.
3
They didnt let the conditioning of the world they were living in keep them from choosing who
they are.
They stood up.
They chose strength. They chose Authentic Truth.
And the world is a better place because of their choice.
You can be that kind of person, too. The world is waiting to be a better place because of you.
The Final Freedom the one freedom that no can give you OR take away is this:
Choosing to live who you are in a conditioned world.
What does this mean exactly?
We are addicted. Americans are flat out, completely, unequivocally jonesing. Im not talking
about alcohol or crack or ecstasy. Im talking about our addiction to self-help.
We are obsessed with fixing ourselves.
Everywhere you turn, youre on the consumerism treadmill. Too fat? Try this pill. Got
cellulite? Buy this dimple cream. Too much junk? Rent a storage unit. Need to feel better
about yourself? Watch these losers on reality TV.
Self help is an $11 billion a year industry perpetuated by the belief that you and I are not
enough. Inherently, we are flawed, broken, compromised. This broken view of ourselves keeps
us in a constant state of victimhood, failure, mediocrity, and yes, consumerism.
Hey, if youre broken, you need to be fixed, right? So what happens when you live your life
from this perspective always looking for the solution outside of yourself? Its a recipe for
disempowerment, disappointment and struggle.
Freedom outside of yourself is an illusion. Freedom is not given or taken away. Ultimately, we
all have the power of choice. Even in the most challenging of circumstances and environments.
4
How do we know this is possible? We look to people who have made the choice, and continue
to choose.
I see you over there. I see you rolling your eyes. Nice theory, Kim, but Im not buying it.
Maybe that worked for them, but Im not them.
Well, guess what? Last time I checked, you were human, right?
You can choose anything if you want it bad enough. Remember, the person who really wants to
do something finds a way, the other finds an excuse.
So whats so mixed up about Self help?
Self help doesnt work because its inherent proposition is flawed. As long as you see yourself as
not enough, you will search endlessly for that person or thing or situation that will fix you. You
will read endless books, go to countless seminars, and on and on. But nothing ever changes
because the focus is misguided.
Self help perpetuates three costly myths:
1. Im broken. (This translates into Im stuck and Its not my fault.)
2. I need someone or something to fix me. (i.e. Im helpless.)
3. Someday I might reach my potential. (If Im somehow good enough at some point in
time, I might finally be able to get what I want.)
Self help keeps us in our not enough so that we stay on the endless hamster wheel of
consumerism, doubt, and judgment.
George Carlin, the famous comic, observed that there is "no such thing" as self-help: anyone
looking for help from someone else doesn't technically get "self" help; and one who
accomplishes something without help, didn't need help to begin with!
Its time to detox. Its time to wean ourselves off the self help money train.
5
Its time to drop the tired old paradigm and focus on something different something so
revolutionary it will alter forever how you see yourself and the world. All this and you dont
have to change who you are! You just have to change who you think you are.
We need a new kind of Intelligence.
Abundance Intelligence.
We need to move from self help to evolution.
Abundance Intelligence is the system for personal evolution.
Let go of fixing and becoming. Let go of not enough, victimhood and powerlessness.
Embrace authenticity, greatness and choice.
Today is your Freedom Day.
Its the first day that you let go of all that you think you are to be all that you really are; to let go
of all that you will never be to live who you were meant to be.
You can influence your own evolution.
And Im going to show you how.

Section Two - Abundant Evolution Through Abundance Intelligence
We are entering a critical point in our history. There is no greater time than now to be who you
are! Each day that goes by without you loving and living your authentic self not only keeps you
from evolving; it keeps the world from evolving.
A shift is happening. Were moving from the Information Age to the Age of Authenticity. In the
present day, information is king. Whatever we want to know, whatever we need to know, is
right at our fingertips. It seems like nothing is outside our grasp.
Somehow, information has become truth.
Weve got millions of ways to communicate -- everybodys talking and texting and tweeting. So
much to say, but whats really being said?
There is a crisis of connection. Most of our conversations are like a drive-by shooting -- fast,
furious and ugly. OMG, TTFN, BFF, LOL. The English language is being perverted and so is our
sense of connection.
We have a better relationship with our gadgets than we do each other. We cant walk our
dogs, go grocery shopping or drive our cars without talking to or texting someone. (My smart
phone is my life. Mess with my Crackberry and you die!)
Always connected . . . at least thats what we think. Were suffering from an Illusion of
Transparency. Just because were talking all the time, accessible 24/7, sharing our pictures of
last nights party, alerting the world when we are at Starbucks for our second latte of the day, it
doesnt mean thats all there is to life. Our communication has turned into focusing on what
we do. We allow people to see us, but only what we want them to see. Weve lost who we are.
We are a collection of sound bites.
The Illusion of Transparency is a smoke and mirrors game. On the surface, it appears we know
more about each other than ever before. But what do we really know?
Maybe we really are becoming a shallow society . . .
7
I think not.
There is a shift going on. Most people cant sense or see it. Most people cant feel it.
Were entering the Age of Authenticity.
Information is not your truth. You get to decide what is true for you. But only if you are awake.
Most of us are asleep, living in a satin lined coffin . . . the walking dead. George Romeros
zombies have nothing on us!
Information can just as easily be a lie, as your truth.
Information is really just a tool. You get to decide how you choose to use it. Does it work for
you or against you? Information does not have meaning until we give it some value, some
sticking point.
In this Age of Authenticity, the people that will thrive in the years to come possess the ability to
create meaning, to make things real and to make their experiences and other peoples
experiences real by living who they are.
These agents of change are called Abundant Evolutionaries. As catalysts, they understand you
cannot live your entire life in a vacuum. A life without depth, self-reflection, and self-
awareness is a crisis of connection. At some point, we all yearn for something more. We crave
a deeper meaning to life. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my contribution?
Abundant Evolutionaries are catalysts for greater meaning. They embody the principle:
Inner evolution sparks outer revolution.
You CAN influence your own evolution. You dont have to wait for someone else or something
else to fix who you are. Youre not stuck. Youre more than enough.
To do this, lets first break down each of the self help myths to reveal their inaccuracies.
Myth #1: Im broken.
8
When you see yourself as broken, you are harboring a belief that you are flawed, that you need
to be fixed. This is closely linked to the #1 type of scarcity thinking the Illusion of Not Enough.
The Illusion of Not Enough is when you cant trust who you are, resulting in feelings of being
incomplete not good enough, smart enough, thin enough and the list goes on and on.
It is a perception of lack.
When we see ourselves as broken and not enough, we are saying we dont have what it takes
to get what we want.. This is ultimately disempowering. It makes us feel stuck. Even worse,
for many of us, it gives us a pass on responsibility.
Its not my fault. I had a bad childhood. My parents didnt give me what I need. How
can I take responsibility if I dont have what it takes to get the job done in the first place?
This first myth is an excuse to stay in our satin-lined coffin. Its an excuse to remain where its
comfortable and familiar where we dont have to stretch ourselves.
In other words, its a death sentence. The problem is, for many of us it is a slow agonizingly
painful experience. It takes years and years for many to die, all because they are chasing
something outside of themselves. Which brings me to myth #2.
Myth #2: I need someone or something to fix me.
Being trapped in the Illusion of Not Enough is like living in quicksand. We struggle and struggle,
fighting mightily and with good intention. But what are we fighting?
We are resisting ourselves. Resisting the greatness of who we already are.
When we believe that we are not enough, there is only one alternative to getting what we
want. We cant get it inside ourselves, so we have to look outside of ourselves. We look to
other people and things to fix us. We wait for the knight in the shining armor to come galloping
in on the white steed and save the day.
9
We expect to be rescued. And when we arent rescued, we become disappointed, angry, sad,
lonely, bitter, and resentful. For many, when nobody comes to rescue us, we shut down. We
stop trying at all. We give up.
This is the crux of the problem.
Expectations and assumptions are a form of control. Anytime we try to control something or
someone outside of ourselves, we are ultimately disillusioned. Why?
Because it is an illusion to believe that we can truly control anything outside of our direct
influence.
Myth #2 perpetuates the story that we are helpless. It makes us victims and martyrs.
And the last time I checked, victims and martyrs werent cruising towards the finish line of the
happy race.
Myth #3: Someday I might reach my potential.
Ok, I have a confession to make.
I dont believe in potential.
There, I said it.
Potential is another myth perpetuated by the Self help industry. Were in love with the idea of
our potential. Its a full blown, knock-your-socks off, love affair. Heck, theres even a segment
of the Self help industry called the human potential movement.
Caveat here: Im not saying these people are bad or wrong for focusing on potential. They are
well intentioned. And, at the same time, the Age of Authenticity is going to require a new
paradigm.
Heres why I dont believe in potential. Potential is future based. When we talk about
somebodys potential, there is an underlying belief that they dont already have what it takes.
They are somehow deficient (i.e. not enough see Myth #1.)
10
Its a negative reinforcing cycle. If I see myself as needing to be fixed and I need someone else
to fix me, where is the potential? The potential is dependent on something outside of me that I
have no control over! The potential is a groundless wish that I will be rescued because I dont
have what it takes today. The only reality here is a recipe for disappointment, struggle and
unhappiness.
Potential is a hollow hope grounded in nothing but fantasy. Why fantasy? Because every time
we get caught up in the past with regret or shame, or caught up in the future with anxiety,
passive wishing or longing, we hold the present hostage.
That my friends, is the Illusion of Time. (Another popular form of scarcity mentality.)
You feeling me now?
So how do we let go of fixing and move towards evolving?
Abundance Intelligence is the system for personal evolution. There a three cornerstones of
this system.
To evolve abundantly, there are three things you must realize:
1. You are already great.

2. You already have everything you need, want and choose to be who you are.
3. You always have the power of choice.
Realization #1: You are already great.
Yes, thats right. I said it.
You are already great.
Ill let that one sink in for a moment.
Is it hard to believe?
11
Im not surprised if youre struggling a bit with this one. Why is it so easy to come up with
arguments about why were not great?
Let me back up a bit. In the world of Abundance Intelligence, we define abundance like this:
True abundance is exercising the freedom to be who you are.
Think about that.
Exercising the freedom to be who you are.
Do you see a theme emerging here?
In our conditioned society, we equate abundance with prosperity, wealth, material possessions.
Abundance is what we can see. Abundance is what we can possess.
But in my world, abundance is much more than what you have. Its the ability to be who you
are and do what you can do.
Again, Im not being nave here. Wealth and material things have the potential (wink wink) to
make your life easier and more comfortable. (We also know of all the stories from lottery
winners who end up miserable and penniless after winning the big jackpot.)
But true happiness, personal satisfaction and fulfillment only come from living who you are and
doing what you can do being boldly, vibrantly alive.
How can we be boldly, vibrantly alive when we are not enough, addicted to fixing and looking
to get rescued? Hmm. Chew on that one for a moment.
When you were born, you were born great. You were born with everything you need, want and
choose to be who you are.
Wait a minute! you say. Im not great! I dont have that promotion I want, I havent written
that book yet, I havent met the love of my life yet! Im struggling to pay my bills! And on and
on and on.
12
When people argue against their greatness, its always the same theme.
All their arguments focus on what they dont have.
Remember, true abundance is exercising the freedom to be who you are. Greatness is not
contingent upon things being achieved, earned, or given to you. The only thing greatness is
dependent on is you. As long as you see yourself as not enough, you will never live into the
greatness that is already there, waiting for you.
I have a favorite metaphor that describes the essence of Abundance Intelligence:
People who are positive thinkers see the cup as half full.
People who are scarcity thinkers see the cup as half empty.
People who are abundant thinkers see the cup as overflowing.
But people who are living into their greatness ARE THE CUP.
Society (which is conditioning) focuses on whats in the cup. Greatness focuses on being the
cup.
Heres the big lesson, guys:
Authenticity is perfection.
Its time to let go of becoming. When we try to become who we think we should be, we are
basing all our decisions on conditioning.
Conditioning is living someone elses answers about your life.
Conditioning is all the thinking, beliefs and behaviors handed down from society and people in
the world, including our parents, friends, teachers and peers. And they got their beliefs and
behaviors from the conditioning they inherited! Pretty scary when you think about it, huh?
Conditioning is insidious because we get so used to it that we think its really who we are!
Pretty soon, our thoughts are really somebody elses!
The problem with living our Conditioned Truth (who we think we are) is that we dont live
13
our Authentic Truth (who we REALLY are).
This is where the power of Abundance Intelligence comes in handy.
Abundance Intelligence is the system for discovering and living your Authentic Truth (i.e.
personal evolution). It unravels your conditioning so you can choose your greatness over your
fear.
In other words, when you are living your Authentic Truth, you are actualizing your abundance.
More about this later.
To evolve abundantly, we must stop shoulding on ourselves. Every time we try to become
like someone else, we are resisting what is.
The ultimate scarcity is resisting who you are.
The seven illusions (which you will discover in Section 3) are the most common ways people
resist being who they are.
To think and act like we can be anyone other than who we are is conditioning. This thinking
keeps us frustrated, stuck and miserable. And most importantly, it deprives the world of our
greatness.
Authenticity is perfection.
You were meant to live your Authentic Truth. It is who you truly are, stripped of all your
conditioning. And who you are is perfect. Its up to you to have the courage to see it.
Realization #2: You already have everything you need, want and choose to be who you are.
As I said earlier, you were born great. Potential, on the other hand, holds that someday, if you
work hard enough and are just lucky enough, you might be great.
See the difference?
14
You may say its just semantics, just words. But heres the kicker: we attach meaning to words.
Feelings and emotion are attached to words. Its what gives them their stick-ability.
Abundance Intelligence is all about focusing on the here and now because the here and now is
the only thing you can control.
Let me offer you an alternative: instead of potential, focus on your capacity.
Your greatness capacity is the knowing that you already have everything you need, want and
choose to be who you are. Thats what I mean when I say you were born great.
Still struggling with this concept?
Your greatness capacity is like the capacity of your brain. Youve probably heard that, at best,
the average person uses about 10 percent of their brains capacity.
Does that mean the other 90% doesnt exist? Of course not!
Its the same with your greatness capacity. The concept is just hard for people to accept
because its an intangible. Im asking you to believe in something you cant see. But your not
enough is an intangible too. Why is it so easy to focus on what we dont want and what we
dont have?
Thats because the minds job is to find evidence to validate our beliefs. If your underlying
belief is that you are not enough, your mind will faithfully go on looking for reasons why that is
true. This goes on and on, until you examine your belief.
By examining, I mean consciously focusing your awareness on the belief. Then you get to
decide if that is really your Authentic Truth. Thats the practice of Abundance Intelligence and
Ill have more on that later when we get into the four steps.
Its all about energy management. When you put all your energy into finding evidence of why
youre not enough, fixing yourself, and getting caught up in things that you have no control
over, that leaves precious little energy to do what you can do.
When you orient your life around your capacity, the following shifts are possible:
15
Moving from fixing to evolution

Moving from struggling to energetic fusion
Moving from hoping and wishing to action with results
Capacity is the catapult youve been waiting for.
Realization #3: You always have the power of choice.
I said earlier that feeling and emotion are what give words their stick-ability. Lets look at this
a little more closely:
Words + emotion become thoughts.
Thoughts + emotion become beliefs.
Beliefs + emotion become behaviors.
Thats how thoughts become things, my friends. Your thoughts drive your beliefs which drive
your behavior. If your thoughts and beliefs are largely unexamined, you are living in the
conditioned world. Why? Because you are on auto pilot.
Let me give you an example.
Have you ever pulled into your driveway and suddenly realized that you dont remember
driving the last 3 miles to your house?
Thats your unconscious mind.
Its the place of reactions, routine, and sleepwalking.
Its where conditioning is king.
Abundant Evolution is not possible when conditioning is king. Why? Because you can only
evolve abundantly when you are aware of who you are, and who you are not. Remember, your
Conditioned Truth is who you think you are and your Authentic Truth is who you really are.
16
Unless you are aware of your conditioned patterns (thoughts become things), you will never
have the awareness to then choose the truth of who you are.
Let me give you an example.
I was recently working with a new client who was struggling in her current teaching position.
The school suffered from a lack of systems and poor communication, resulting in the consistent
turnover of teacher dissatisfaction and attrition. The teachers that were left had to deal with
uncertainty, last minute upheavals and disrespect.
My client was all caught up in what the school didnt have, what they werent doing, what
wasnt working. She talked fervently about how she hated the uncontrollable situation she was
in, and then in the next breath spoke of wanting to write a proposal to the school on how she
could help them improve their teacher recruitment and retention. But the school had no
money or mindset to look for solutions.
I watched as she got caught up in the schools not enough.
And then I asked her a simple question.
What do you want?
She was quiet for a moment. Then she replied, What do you mean, what do I want?
I asked her another question.
What will bring you happiness? Getting caught up in the schools problems, or rebuilding your
own business?
And then the light bulb went off and she thanked me.
She had been so caught up in fixing things and focusing on things she couldnt control, that she
had lost sight of herself and what she really wanted. She had been living her Conditioned Truth.
When I asked her what she wanted, she suddenly remembered she had the power of choice.
17
She could choose to let go of the fixing. She could choose to ask herself what she really
wanted. She could choose to put herself first.
The turnaround was that quick. That simple.
Heres why I love this realization so much: NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR POWER OF CHOICE.
The earlier examples demonstrate this. Even if you are imprisoned, wrongfully accused,
misunderstood, criticized or ostracized . . . no one can take away your ability to choose who you
are in the moment.
It is the last great choice we have and the final freedom. It is the essence of a life well lived.
18
The System of Abundance Intelligence
So now youve got the principles behind Abundance Intelligence. Lets look at the proven
system that moves people from scarcity to abundance--the beginning of what it means to
evolve abundantly.
What follows is an abbreviated version of what you can find in my book Coaching Into
Greatness: 4 Steps to Success in Business and Life.
19
There are four steps to the Abundance Intelligence system:
See It see what you want, see your greatness, see whats
holding you back
Own It own whats true for you and make a commitment,

take personal responsibility
Live It take consistent action to do what you can do
Evolve It consciously, intentionally evolve who you are being

in the world and your greater contribution, right from where you are
The guiding principle of the See It phase in Abundance Intelligence is to practice being the
Observer.
Being the Observer means paying attention to our thinking, beliefs and behaviors. We observe
what is going on and then we get to decide if that thought, belief or behavior
is true for us:
Do I really want to show up this way?
Does thinking, believing, or behaving this way keep me from being who I am or doing
what I can do?
How do I learn to be the Observer?
Once you see what you want, you own it by discerning what is true for you. Discernment is
very different from judgment. As the Observer, we let go of judging and focus on
authenticating what is true for us.
We let go of becoming someone else.
We let go of looking outside ourselves for the answer. Thats because a big part of Owning It is
understanding that You Are The Answer.
20
When you begin to see yourself as THE CUP, you are ready to Live It!
Living it is where the rubber meets the road. Its where the successful people separate
themselves from the wishful people.
Peter Drucker once said, The best way to predict the future is to create it. Living it is about
taking that consistent action to do what you can do.
Finally, the Evolve It phase is all about the culmination of steps 1 3. When you are seeing
what you want, owning it and doing what you can do, you are living who you are with greater
and greater frequency. This is where everything comes together.
The Evolve It phase is your launching pad. It is the phase where you have generated enough
awareness to be able to choose authentically in a consistent fashion. You are ready to focus on
evolving into your freedom, versus discovering (or remembering) who you are. You can now
act from who you are.
The impact of this realization is to fully bring your unique gifts and strengths into the world.
This cant be understated.
Most people think when they play small and arent living into their greatness that they are only
hurting themselves. How easy is it to let things slide when we think we are the only ones to be
affected?
This couldnt be farther than the truth. The truth of living your conditioning is that you not only
deprive yourself of a more authentic life, you deprive the world and everyone in it of a more
authentic life.
Only you can give what you have to give that unique elixir of gifts and perspective and talent
and love. When you live into your greatness, you are completing your contract with the world.
You are creating a ripple effect, and you never know the exact impact your greatness will have,
person by person, moment by moment.
So when you play small, when you feed your scarcity, you are halting that ripple effect. You are
robbing the world from the exact reason you are here to begin with!
21
Are you tired of playing small?
Are you ready to catapult your authentic awareness?
Are you ready to jumpstart your abundance?
The next section will give you an overview of the Abundance Intelligence system found in my
book, Coaching Into Greatness: 4 Steps to Business and Life. Well start with an overview of the
7 Illusions and Aptitudes, and their corresponding patterns.
The 7 Illusions and Corresponding Conditioned Patterns
The Illusions are the most common sources of scarcity mentality. They are the most frequent
ways people resist being who they are.
Each Illusion has three corresponding Conditioned Patterns. The Conditioned Patterns are the
actual evidence we can look for in a persons thinking, beliefs, and behaviors. Each of the
statements in the Inventory reflects an aspect of the Conditioned Patterns.
Illusion of Not Enough: when an individual believes that they cant trust who they are,
resulting in feelings of being incomplete
More: the belief that something or someone outside of ourselves will complete us
Scriptwriting: projecting an image of ourselves that is not real
Contingency: the need for a condition outside of ourselves to happen for us to do or be
something
Illusion of Comparison: the habit of consistently comparing ourselves to people and things in
the external world to validate our belief of who we are
External Drivers: the interpretation that who you are is dependent on sources outside of
yourself people, circumstances or events
Personalization: consistently taking on the opinions and beliefs of others as the ultimate
truth, even when those beliefs feel contradictory to our inner knowing
Busyness: behavior driven by the belief that our worth is tied to how much we accomplish that
can be seen by others
22
Illusion of Struggle: the cycle of resisting, striving and complexity that keeps people from
doing what they can do
Resisting: the pattern of rejecting people, events or things for being anything other than what
we expect them to be
Complexity: when we make things more difficult than they have to be to avoid doing what we
can do
Overachieving: being driven to meet unrealistic expectations that reinforce a false identity
Illusion of Control: when a persons happiness depends on rearranging the world to fit their
idea of how things should be
Caretaking: deriving your identity from transforming others to fit your view of yourself
Role-Playing: the persistent obligation to be who you think the world should see but often
may not be who you are at all
Self-Defense: the need to protect oneself from perceived fearful situations and individuals and
is inherently tied to the belief that good things do not come your way
Illusion of Time: focusing on what you think you dont have instead of on what you do have
Rushing: belief that there is a scarcity of time and opportunity, causing people to focus on
what the think they should do, instead of what they can do
Attachment: needing something or someone to the extent that it limits our Capacity to be
who we are and do what we can do
Distractibility: allowing people, events, emotions and fears to conveniently keep us from
doing what we can do
Illusion of Hope: waiting for other people or events to solve our uneasiness about who we
are
Expectation: the belief that life is supposed to go according to our version of happiness
Powerlessness: feeling trapped, victimized or out of choices in the face of external forces
Assumption: the habit of taking for granted that our view of the world is everyone elses view
23
Illusion of Certainty: the need to know an outcome keeps you from acting, making authentic
decisions and doing what you can do
Complacency: desiring the status quo more than improvement
Tactical Thinking: plotting out straight-line courses through life often using tactics weve
learned from others. This frequently results in excluding other possibilities and options.
Perfectionism: an inability to reach completion due to an endless search for external approval
of ones actions
The 7 Abundance Aptitudes and Corresponding Conscious Patterns
Just as there are seven Illusions, there are seven Abundance Aptitudes that represent the
abundance mentality side. You could say that the Abundance Aptitudes are the characteristics
of people with high Abundance Intelligence.
For each Abundance Aptitude, there are three corresponding Conscious Patterns. We call these
Conscious Patterns because we consciously choose to practice them based on our skills of
awareness, observation, and choice.
Self-Worth: the belief that you are complete, that you are more than enough exactly as you
are
Capacity: the belief that you already have within you all that you want, need and choose
Greatfulness: a combination of gratitude, appreciation and Capacity that brings the internal
knowing that you are the Cup
Catalyst: a person who has the ability to take what is available in his environment, use it to
create what he wants and leverage it to Live into Greatness
Self-Empathy: recognizing and celebrating your humanity

Internal Drivers: beliefs, thoughts and attributes that are of your design and making, not of
external sources
Discernment: the process of chipping away everything that isnt the truth for you to reveal
what is true for you
24
Effectiveness: doing what is most essential without compromising who you are in the process
Self-Expression: the ability to consistently give voice to your authentic self

Receiving: the ability to consciously choose to receive the opportunity before us, especially
when it is not expected, planned or thought out
Simplicity: the ability to let things be as they are and let ourselves be as we are
Flow: allowing life to unfold through you, not because of you or in spite of you
Surrender: the willingness to let go of the need to control things outside of your direct
influence
Personal Responsibility: when an individual releases blame and victimization to become fully
responsible for his or her life
Intention: the ability to set the destination of your life, allowing for flexibility and adaptation in
getting there
Vulnerability: possessing the strength to be seen as you are in the world
Actualization: consistent and authentic action

Stepping Back: the ability to see what is and respond accordingly instead of reacting to a
situation based on judgments and assumptions
Curiosity: the ability to embrace wonder and appreciate all of something not just one
opportunity, but many opportunities
Perseverance: focusing on what you can do in the present as part of the process of Living into
Greatness. It is doing the thing you can do even when it is not easy, convenient or proven.
Significance: shifting from external Expectation to internal realization by embracing and acting
upon your Greatness Capacity
Engagement: hope manifesting into action. The more frequently we are authentic, the more
we are engaged in the world around us and in us.
Decisiveness: your ability to hold yourself accountable for the results in your life by moving
through fear to do what you can do
25
Inquisitiveness: the commitment to unearth and examine Assumptions about life, business
and the world
Inquiry: when a person questions their answers consistently

Willingness: the degree of Self-Inquiry, openness and exploration an individual demonstrates
Strategic Thinking: an ability to do new and different things by engaging possibilities that
often cant be seen, heard or measured

Section Three Putting Abundance Intelligence Into Action
**Stop here. Do not continue reading until AFTER you have completed your
Abundance Snapshot.
Analyzing your results
What follows is a cheat sheet, if you will. It shows you exactly how the illusions and
conditioned patterns match up with the statements in the Inventory.
This information is extremely helpful as you move into analyzing your results.
The higher the score for a group of statements, the greater the evidence of that Conditioned
Pattern being present in your life. The Inventory measures the frequency of scarcity mentality
in your thinking and behaviors at this moment.
Go back and review your scores. Circle the three highest scoring Illusions. Then circle
your highest scoring Conditioned Patterns. Use the guide below as a reference.
The Illusion of Not Enough:
1. More
26
2. Scriptwriting
3. Contingency
The Illusion of Comparisons
4. External Drivers
5. Personalization
6. Busyness
The Illusion of Struggle
7. Resisting
8. Complexity
9. Overachieving
The Illusion of Control
10. Caretaking
11. Role-Playing
12. Self-Defense
The Illusion of Time
13. Rushing
14. Attachment
15. Distractibility
The Illusion of Hope
16. Expectation
17. Powerlessness
18. Assumption
The Illusion of Certainty
19. Complacency
27
20. Tactical Thinking

21. Perfectionism
List Your Top 3 Illusions:

List Your Top 3 Conditioned Patterns:
Score Conditioned Pattern
Additional Interpretation:
Count the total number of 3s you had on your original assessment:
________ / 63 = ________ %
________ / 63 = ________ %
________ / 63 = ________ %
3s represent more scarcity and 1s indicate more abundance. What does this
perspective tell you about you?
28
Determining the Personal Tipping Point
The Abundance Intelligence Inventory measures the frequency of scarcity mentality in your
thinking, beliefs, and behaviors.
The next step in your analysis is to determine the impact of your Illusions and Conditioned
Patterns on your life. In other words, pinpointing the impact on your ability to live
authentically.
The Personal Tipping Point (PTP) is the point where thinking, believing, or behaving a certain
way keeps you from being who you are and doing what you can do.
Why does the PTP matter?
One of the guiding principles of Abundance Intelligence is this:
Its not the existence of something; its how it impacts you.
Just because you scored high on a particular statement in the Inventory doesnt necessarily
mean it is a source of scarcity for you.
For example:
Statement #1 I can never get enough of a good thing.
A score of 3 on this statement indicates never getting enough of a good thing occurs frequently
for you. The next step is to determine whether this thought is a source of scarcity (in other
words, when does it keep you from being who you are or doing what you can do).
If you can never get enough of learning, that may not be a source of scarcity. However, if you
just keep taking class after class, getting degree after degree to try to fill your Illusion of Not
Enough or because you are comparing yourself to others, this sounds like a source of scarcity.
It is keeping you from going out and doing what you can do. This Conditioned Pattern of More
is allowing you to hide and play small, rather than going out into the world with your gifts.
This is where the PTP comes in. Listening to the PTP laser call audios will help cement this
concept for you.

Utilize this worksheet to identify the Personal Tipping Point of your Abundance Snapshot
results.
Pick an assessment statement that you scored a 2 or higher. Explore the following questions:
Is there a time or place you can recall where you experienced ________ and it actually
kept you from being who you are? What was that like?
Is there a time or place you can recall where you experienced ________ and it actually
kept you from doing what you can do? What was that like?
When you focus on this statement, what are the thoughts that come to mind?
When you focus on this statement, what are the beliefs that come to mind?
31
When you focus on this statement, what are the behaviors resulting from these related
thoughts and beliefs?
What is the Opportunity Cost with this pattern in your life?
What can you choose to think/be/do the next time this pattern shows up in your life?
32
Listen to the Discovering Your PTP audio for further exploration and understanding.
Listen to the PTP Laser Call coaching audios for real world examples of the PTP in acon.
Make copies of the PTP worksheet and complete this exercise for each of your statements
you scored a 3 on, and then each that you scored a 2 on.
33
First of all, thank you.
Thank you for the gift of you.
Youve given me your time, energy and attention. I want you to know I dont take that lightly.
I know its a big deal. Thats why Ive worked so hard to give you information with real value.
Youve learned what it means to
See It!
Own It!
Live It!
Evolve It!
Download and listen to the Power of Declaraons audio
One of the most powerful gifts I have every given myself or others is the gift of an Abundant
Declaration. It is an essential step in actualizing your abundance. Once you have analyzed your
Inventory results, you are ready to create your Declaration.
What is an Abundant Declaration? It is a public promise of who you are being in the world and
the larger contribution you are making.
How is an Abundant Declaration a catalyst for doing what you can do?
How can you create your own Declaration?
All that and more when you listen to The Power of Declarations audio.

So now youve learned the difference between self help and evolution. Youve learned how
Abundance Intelligence is a new kind of intelligence, the last system youll ever need to truly
be who you are.
But now its all up to you.
Ive given you the information.
Youve got the how.
Now, what will you do with it?
Will you do what you can do?
Or will you go back to the routine of your life, settling for whats good enough, maybe even
reverting back to your Not Enough?
Always remember, dogs get fixed, people dont get fixed. (Hehe sorry, I couldnt resist that
one!)
I wish you all the Courageous Abundance in the world to choose the Final Freedom . . . to be
who you are . . . boldly and vibrantly alive!
Thank you for being you!

ACTION GUIDE KIM GEORGE

Welcome to Your Abundance Quickstart!

This Action Guide was designed specifically with you in mind.

I created Abundance Intelligence to do just that.

Thank you for being you,

Section One - The Final Freedom

True abundance is exercising the freedom to be who you are.

The ultimate scarcity is resisting who you are.

But what is true freedom?

All freedom depends on choice.

Your circumstances dont determine your freedom.

These are not just powerful stories of forgiveness.

True freedom is choosing to live who you are in a conditioned world.

They stood up.

They chose strength. They chose Authentic Truth.

And the world is a better place because of their choice.

Choosing to live who you are in a conditioned world.

What does this mean exactly?

We are obsessed with fixing ourselves.

So whats so mixed up about Self help?

Self help perpetuates three costly myths:

1. Im broken. (This translates into Im stuck and Its not my fault.)

2. I need someone or something to fix me. (i.e. Im helpless.)

We need a new kind of Intelligence.

We need to move from self help to evolution.

Abundance Intelligence is the system for personal evolution.

Embrace authenticity, greatness and choice.

Today is your Freedom Day.

You can influence your own evolution.

And Im going to show you how.

Section Two - Abundant Evolution Through Abundance Intelligence

Somehow, information has become truth.

Maybe we really are becoming a shallow society . . .

Were entering the Age of Authenticity.

Information can just as easily be a lie, as your truth.

Inner evolution sparks outer revolution.

Myth #1: Im broken.

Myth #2: I need someone or something to fix me.

We are resisting ourselves. Resisting the greatness of who we already are.

This is the crux of the problem.

Myth #3: Someday I might reach my potential.

Ok, I have a confession to make.

I dont believe in potential.

There, I said it.

You feeling me now?

So how do we let go of fixing and move towards evolving?

To evolve abundantly, there are three things you must realize:

1. You are already great.

Realization #1: You are already great.

Yes, thats right. I said it.

You are already great.

Ill let that one sink in for a moment.

True abundance is exercising the freedom to be who you are.

Think about that.

Exercising the freedom to be who you are.

Do you see a theme emerging here?

All their arguments focus on what they dont have.

I have a favorite metaphor that describes the essence of Abundance Intelligence:

Heres the big lesson, guys:

Conditioning is living someone elses answers about your life.

our Authentic Truth (who we REALLY are).

This is where the power of Abundance Intelligence comes in handy.

The ultimate scarcity is resisting who you are.
