The first time I went through the 3MIQ exercise was startling. While I was listing the experiences I'd like to have, I was surprised by one of my answers. It turns out I want to have the experience of being an influencer. I've never thought about that as a goal for myself. So at first, I was a bit shocked. I associated 'influencer' with YouTubers and not always in a positive way.
But as I continued with the exercise, it began to make sense. I want to influence people to be hopeful, joyful, and alive to life's true purpose.
Shortly after I finished the exercise, I had this very clear inner prompting, almost an image, of a well-known Kenyan influencer / celebrity. She and I were working on a book together in this image. I didn't know what kind of book, but the impulse was strong and clear.
I had met this lady during a women's event a month previously, so I had her contact. Deciding to trust my intuition, I sent her a message about writing a book together, and asked her if that made sense to her.
As soon as I sent the message, I freaked out and thought, "What have I done!"
But then I imagined myself telling Vishen that on Wednesday, I'd written to this lady. In my imagined conversation, I explained how she wrote me back, saying that on Monday, she had been talking with someone else about writing a book.
Half an hour later, I received this message from the celebrity influencer: "On Monday I said to myself I need to write a book. Shall we?"
Of course, I said yes.
