EP 058 â How to be outrageously open and receive MORE
Receiving MORE??
Thats OUTRAGEOUS! In all the best ways of course đ
Being open to receiving more of what you want is an essential growth step in every aspect of life, business, money and fun.
In this quick tip episode I share my two favourite book recommendations for asking for what you want, and being outrageously open to receiving what youâre asking for.
Theyâre like peanut butter and coffee, good on their own but even better together!

Side note â does anyone elseâs brain instantly start playing songs when certain phrases are said? Mine now has a theme song of Aerosmithâs âDonât Want To Miss A Thingâ going on lol! Not the worst song to have stuck in your head!
Anyway!
I wanted to talk about this idea of being outrageously open to receiving more. Its been on my mind a lot lately so clearly its something I need to get out and share with the world lol!
Probably a good 7 or 8 years ago I read a book called The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield. The basic premise is that weâre not asking for what we want, and thats the reason why weâre frustrated, bored, or generally lacking the life we desire.
Iâm sure everyone knows the concept of Aladdin thanks to the various Disney movies and books, but in a nutshell, when Aladdin find the lamp and meets the genie, he realises he has to be very clear and specific about what he wants.
He has a couple of false starts â as we all do! â but he eventually nails it with his third wish. Spoiler alert!
The overarching premise of the story is that we have to get better at communicating our wishes â both literally and figuratively. If you donât ask, guess what happens? You got nothing! Or at least youâve got what youâve always had.
If you desire something more than the status quo, you have to ask AND you have to be open to receive MORE.
Its no good wishing for something and then when youâre presented with the very thing you said you wanted, even though it may not appear in the form you THOUGHT it would, you reject it out of pride and appearances. I mean you canât have people thinking you canât support yourself! Thats ridiculous, lets get over that!
Thats like saying to the Universe âNah, just kidding! I donât actually want that, I was just messing with you.â
Which is fine, but in the process of rejecting that, what ELSE are you rejecting?
Another life-changing book I discovered about 2 years ago is Tosha Silverâs âOutrageous Openness â Letting The Divine Take The Leadâ.
This little gem of awesomeness came to my attention via an Amazon recommendation after I bought another book â I have no idea now what that first book was but this one definitely had an impact on how I feel about being open to receiving MORE.
I loved the joyful energy just from reading the description and had to have it in spite of promising myself that I was DONE buying books at the time lol! Weâve all done that, right?
Heres what it saysâŠ
âWhat if the Divine is constantly igniting roadside flares to get our attention? What if there actually is a Supreme Organizing Principle with an unbridled sense of humor? And what if we each have this ardent inner suitor whoâs writing us love letters every day that often go unopened?â
What I love about it is that its all inclusive when it comes to âthe divineâ.
Tosha Silver was raised Jewish but has a deep love of the Christian version of God, Buddha, the various Hindu deities, the all-encompassing Universe (my personal preference for describing this stuff!) Its all the same thing and weâve got to be open to the different terminologies.
Her approach to being âoutrageously openâ to receiving all the experiences and things that life (or the divine) has to offer is so beautiful and inspiring, you canât help but feel those good vibes yourself.
And as you know from being in my world, whether its online or in person, Iâm ALL about the good vibes, having fun and enjoying the good in every single moment. Even the shitty ones, theres always something good!
Being outrageously open to receiving is how you have more of THAT.
Pay attention to those roadside flares. Enjoy the sense of humour that the Universe has. Open those love letters and see what happens in your life, business and bank account.
My big question for you is, âAre you outrageously open to receiving MORE?â
đ€© More than you have right now
đ€© More than youâve ever had before
đ€© More than anyone in your family or circle of friends has ever had
Thats where the magic is â being OPEN to receiving and looking for the fun and joy in everything, even those seemingly shitty things that make you question the Universeâs intent. Like, REALLY?? COME ON!! lol
If you can, grab a pen and write this downâŠ
âIts safe for me to receive more, no matter how much I already have.â
And if youâre driving or out walking, donât worry, Iâve got you covered. Youâll find a full transcript in the show notes link in the description of this episode, you can always go back and grab what you need later.
I would LOVE to hear your stories about receiving something outrageous, unexpected, those seemingly random occurrences!
Iâm talking about that time you had an unexpected car repair bill and had no idea where youâd find the money to pay for it. Then maybe a client signs up out of the blue and its the exact amount you need, or more.
That was me recently! I adore my 10 year old car, a Ford Focus I call Fergus. Fergus needed a whole new transmission at a heart attack level cost. It was still worth fixing versus buying a new or second hand car though.
And you know what? The money showed up from a very unexpected source, and I didnât argue the point out of pride or anything else. I gratefully received the money, Fergus is back on the road and Iâm having so much fun driving around.
Or that time you helped a person struggling with their groceries in the rain, and they hand you a gift card to say thank you. And its for a store where that thing youâve been saving up to buy is located, and its the exact amount you need to go get it NOW.
That stuff! Send me a DM and tell me about it! Or share a post and tag me â Iâm @funbusinessfunmoney on Facebook, Instagram, and on the new Threads platform as well.
If youâre on LinkedIn youâll find me by name, Deirdre Amies. Or you can email hello@deirdreamies.com if thats your preference.
Thats what Iâve got for you today! Go read the books, Iâll pop the links in the show notes as well.
I think everyone should read Outrageous Openness at the very least because its such a feel good read.
Be outrageously open to receive more of all the things you want in life â opportunities, experiences, the money to buy the things you want or need, gifts, smiles, random acts of kindness, all of it! See what magic you can bring into your life.
Take care, have fun being OUTRAGEOUSLY OPEN and playing to receive more, and Iâll catch you in the next episode.
