As I look back on my experience playing The Business Game in Phase 1 and now in
Phase 2, one of the biggest differences, one of the absolute keys to busting loose, is the issue of where the power really is.
In Phase 1, most of the power appears to be outside of you, in clients, customers, competitors, the government, the IRS, employees, the stock market, the economy, attorneys, accountants, partners, board members, etc.
You may be very skilled in many ways, but deep down, in business, you're vulnerable to so many forces that appear to be outside of you and to have lots of power over you.
But that's not The Truth. There is no power outside of you. All the power is inside of you. One of the Phase 2 Truths I'm fond of sharing is "If you're aware of it, you're creating it, down to the smallest detail."
Once you expand enough, and begin having a direct experience of The Truth of who you are and where the power really lies, this whole dynamic reverses itself and you start using your power to create new ways to play The Business Game, with no limits or restrictions, for the sheer pleasure of playing.
Sound hard to believe? Like pie in the sky, woo-woo nonsense? Maybe, depending on your background and training. But it's The Truth nevertheless, and if you commit to playing the Phase 2 game, you'll prove it to yourself - beyond the shadow of a doubt.
