Mindy Audlin is one of my favorite people.
She’s charming, smart, upbeat, and a remarkable speaker and teacher. We held an event together two years ago where I first learned about her What If Up game.
It was life changing.
The best way to understand how it works is to realize the favorite question of the mind is “What if?”
But for most of us that question is asked in a negative, or down, way.
We ask “What if this doesn’t work out?” or “What if I lose my job?” or “What if I’m wrong?”
Obviously, that negative seeking question doesn’t feel good, and leads to attracting the fears it focuses on.
But Mindy asks you to do a what if UP.
You might ask, “What if this works out beautifully?” or “What if there was never a problem in the first place?” or “What if I get a raise?” or “What if my idea makes me a millionaire?”
This single adjustment in how you ask a question transforms you, your energy, and the very answers you get.
The idea is to look for new possibilities by letting your mind be free. When you do this, you feel fantastic. You also send this new energy into the Universe as an order or request.
I recently attended one of Mindy’s local (Wimberley, Texas) What If Up parties. That’s where people break into groups of five or so and take turns What If Up-ing each other. It’s very juicy and even addictive (in a positive way).
For example, when it was my turn, I said I want the infomercial coming out this week for The Awakening Course to be a top seller in the self-help market.
When you state your goal or problem, you’re not allowed to explain it or tell your story around it. It’s not needed. You simply state your desire and let the magic begin.
So I stated mine about wanting my infomercial to be a hit.
Someone instantly said, “What if it is the number one bestseller in all categories?”
Someone else said, “What if it is the number one bestseller of this century?”
Another said, “What if it is the number one bestselling infomercial in all of history!?”
At this point I was feeling electricity pumping through my veins.
Mindy explains that the exercise isn’t to create a to-do list. You don’t make notes or how-tos or to-dos.
The point is to raise your energy, get into the feeling of what you want, and let that experience attract the end result to you.
You still take action, of course, but it’s inspired action.
It comes from that place within you that feels great and naturally unfolds. You don’t have to make yourself do it; you want to do it.
A beautiful side benefit of doing the what if up exercise a few times is it changes your thinking.
Suddenly you start asking what if up questions in your head rather than what if down questions.
Check this out at www.whatifup.com You’ll find more information there, including how to host your own What If Up dinner party.
What if the site is the coolest thing you saw today?
What if it changed your life for the better instantly?
What if?
Ao Akua,
Joe
PS — The seminar Mindy and I conducted was called The Secret of Money. See www.mindyaudlin.com/secretofmoney.htm
Note: This Tuesday will be the release of the all new edition of The Attractor Factor. What if it becomes the book of the year for you? For Oprah? For the world? What if???

What If
Two very powerful words…when followed by a desire, want, or aspiration.
Just saying them raises your energy.
I always say it’s simple to change your mind and that will
change your moment. Do that enough times and you can
change your life.
Thanks for sharing this, Joe.

Hey Joe,
For those of us that have cut ourselves off of the rest of the world’s TV, is there a place where we can see the infomercial?
Joe, how funny…I just watched a vid of you on you tube after being at a short tony robbins event, and, about 7 years ago I was at his unleash the power within seminar, and he said, “to the more beautiful question, always a more beautiful answer”
It makes sense and it works, BIG time…so when I wake up in the morning, I always ask, “what beautiful things will today bring me”…and I always answer, “only beautiful things”….and of course, it’s working 🙂
thanks Joe!

PS – sent you an e mail earlier buddy, plus a video you gotta see!
Chris, just look at the previous blog post.

Joe, I got excited just thinking about the potential! I’m a member now. What if this is the thing that turns it all around for me? 😆 Thank you for letting us in on What If Up.
// The point is to raise your energy, get into the feeling of what you want, and let that experience attract the end result to you. //
Ooo… you’ve immediately hooked me! I love love LOVE working the LOA, but I have to admit that sometimes it’s hard to imagine the “as if”. This is a lovely shorthand that sounds like it would sneak in past the defenses (like a good story can).
Thanks! I’m going to try this tomorrow morning during my meditation and visualization time!
Man there you say something! I always say; I don’t want to wake up someday and think about my life and think; What if, or what would have etc etc.. I rather go flat on my face and stand up and do it again and again.. hahahahaha..
I am Alive and Kicking where still a lot of people will wake up someday and think, wow my life is nearly at it’s end, what have I done in my life that expresses me and expands my energy for the better? Don’t ya just love life? I do..
Love, Light &a lot of laughter

Joe,
Thank you. What if your blogs were one of my favorite? This will help me get through the day. Also that you for posting the link up about the Secret of Money seminar because the link was obsolete when you mentioned it in the online resources in your hit Zero Limits. I Love You Joe! I can’t wait for your seminar Tuesday. What if your Attractor Factor for Money seminar be exciting? I love Mindy too! When are you doing another seminar with Dr. Hew Len. When you see him, tell him I love him too! I feel the love!
Joe,
Thanks for sharing this. What a great concept – turning something that is often used negatively into a positive tool. I immediately joined.

Wow! I just received your email about this post Joe. I’ve just written a post myself about motivation and was thinking – what if (not in those terms though) this gets a Stumble or 2 and becomes a high traffic post. That’s how the law of attraction works I guess. I now know I’ll get those Stumbles. Thanks Joe – uplifting stuff as always.
:smile::smile::smile:
What an unbelievably great post Joe. Thanks for sharing the positive direction “What if questions” and the philosophy around it. There’s actually a series of Radio Shack Commercials using this exact principle. But I never thought of thinking in this way for my own life. Though I’ve known about the power of Magic Questions for many years and use it all of the time.
What if I start my days from now on coming up with the most amazing and positive questions? What if I’m able to heal and rejuvenate everyone on the planet with the amazing youth restoring secrets I’m teaching others? What if each day became incredibly fun and exciting just because I’ve learned to ask these positive direction “What IF” questions.
I’m going to really explore this idea.
A Billion Thanks,

Hi Joe
As always, love your blogs. Indeed, what if is a nice way to put a positive thing on things! But again we are just trying to justify our intellect. What if we could let go and just trust in God?? LOL…if only we could do that! Good luck on your book release.

Joe:
I’m from Santiago of Chile and recently I knew you by your book “The Attractor Factor”.
Honestly, you are amazing. After read your book, I decided for a surgery for reduce mi stomach because I’m too fat (in spanish is almost obesidad mórbida). Tomorrow is my appointment with the doctor…
What if I have my surgery’s stomach before October comes?
PS: I don’t know how I will pay this surgery, but never mind, the surgery will be self-payed. God and the Universe are in charge of this
Hi Joe – Thanks for helping me spread the word! There is always a lot of energy in our What If Up community, but today things hit a whole new level! How fun to have your friends and readers “what if upping” with us online! You blaze a trail of possibility and I am so blessed by your friendship. Love and gratitude to you for sharing so much of who you are with us day after day. Things are looking up, up, UP!! Hugs…
Once again a simple string of words flows from you and I catch them, forever changing my life. Thank you for Zero Limits, and thank you for what if!
love, Jeannie
I’ve been doing this since I learned it from Abraham-Hicks years and years ago. It’s something they’re constantly telling people to do to raise their vibration.
Wow Joe. That’s a very helpful and wonderful article. Thanks so much.
To be completely honest, I was getting fatigued from all your emails promoting your miracles coaching. It’s great that you are still delivering great value to your ‘fans’ like you always do including the article above.

Joe,
You know what this reminds me of. This reminds me of Step 1 and 2 of the Attractor Factor. Step 1 which is the springboard the list of complaints and step 2 is to flip them around into the intention except you’re flipping negative what if questions into positive ones. This is Attractor Factor is Interrogative format.
Hey Joe,
Great post…this may be just the little extra edge I knew was just around the corner…for me to break through, up and out of a plateau.
Applying it immediately and making Better Days Now,
Thanks Joe
