Losing the Signal
If it feels like success is harder than it should be right now… If it sometimes feels like weeks are marathons in your business… If you teeter on the edge with feelings of “burn out” or feeling perpetually “stuck” at the same level…
Your problem is not with strategy, execution, or even desire.
Those are easy scapegoats. The reasons people typically point to when they can’t get momentum. But they’re not the issue.
What’s truly wrong is that they’ve lost the signal – they’re in the wrong realm. What does that even mean? Are we going “mythical” now?
No. Pay attention, because this is not some “woo-woo” head game. This is science-backed mental calibration and programming that we’re about to dive into.
By the end of this article, you’ll understand what the Space of Variations is, how to navigate it, and what it means for you getting “unstuck” and achieving every goal you set for your business.
The Space of Variations
Before we dive into this, we need to do a quick primer on the Space of Variations described by Vadim Zeland in his book “Reality Transurfing.”
The Space of Variations is an infinite field of possibilities—a metaphysical “information structure” that contains all potential scenarios, events, and outcomes for every life that has ever existed or could exist.
It’s not physical or visible, but Zeland suggests it exists similarly to how a field of probabilities exists in quantum physics.
The core foundational principle here, as it relates to YOU and your business is this: You don’t create reality, you choose it.
Within the Space of Variations, every potential version of a business or life already exists.
- The one where leads flow effortlessly.
- The one where the calendar is full of perfect-fit clients.
- The one where clarity replaces chaos, and performance peaks without the burnout tax.
None of these are “created” from scratch by effort alone. They’re selected by tuning into the realm where they already exist. Just like picking a station on the radio.
For those familiar with our quantum growth principles, this should feel familiar. Growth isn’t linear. It’s dimensional. The coach who masters this model stops forcing outcomes and starts accessing realities where those outcomes are normal.
More on how to practically do that in a second…
Burnout is a REALM
With all this talk of realms, and the superpower of leaving one and accessing another when you feel like it, it’s important to take a quick detour to address the idea of burnout.
Most people assume that burnout is an outcome, a result. But let’s pause and look through the lens of the Space of Variations. Now, burnout becomes a REALM that we’ve accessed.
How did we do that?
When the external activity of a business is out of sync with the internal awareness of its leader, dissonance sets in. What once felt inspired becomes obligatory (and obligation can force you out of alignment and into a realm of burnout faster than almost anything). What used to produce energy now drains it. This is a signal to you that you need to tune into a new realm.
Many practitioners default to tactical problem-solving here: scheduling, delegation, even new offers. But the real upgrade starts in the psyche, not the software. As explored in The Entrepreneurial Chess Board, elite operators adjust their internal state before tweaking their external strategy.
How to Know When You’re Shifting Realms
Most have already felt it without realizing it.
That unexplainable moment where the air feels heavier or lighter. Where the day carries a different weight. Where a simple conversation crackles with unexpected clarity. You might be tempted to write these off as coincidences. However, nothing could be further from the truth. These are coordinates.
They signal a realm shift.
Learning to feel these shifts is not esoteric fluff. It’s executive intelligence, which every single one of you (as business owners) need to have. The same way athletes learn to read tempo and musicians learn to tune by ear, leaders must learn to recognize when they’ve left what’s in front of them and entered a different game entirely.
Practical Framework for Realm Shifting
We’ve addressed some big ideas so far in this article. Now it’s time to make those practical. Here are 4 steps to take when you are hitting a period of burnout or feeling “stuck,” and you want to access a new realm.
1. Journal the Weight of the Moment
Each day, record the tone of the environment. Not the tasks. The tone. Ask: “What does today feel like?” Then ask: “Does my plan match that tone?” This awareness re-engages intuition—a leadership muscle underused in the age of over-strategy.
2. Create a Realm-Ready Morning Ritual
Don’t just prep to execute. Prep to perceive. Allocate five minutes daily to attune to the “frequency” of the day. Use breath, silence, scripture, or free-writing—whatever helps access clarity. This positions the mind as an instrument, not a blunt object.
3. Audit the Resistance
Where does friction show up repeatedly? That may not be a sign to push harder—it may be a signal that the current realm no longer fits. Realignment often requires subtraction before addition.
4. Apply Strategic Filters
Use frameworks like the Four Pillars of Productivity to test whether what’s on your plate is realm-relevant. Not all productive work is strategic. And not all strategic work is resonant.
Magic Vs. Mastery
Hanging out in a realm that you are not aligned with and that doesn’t suit your ultimate goals, is like swimming upstream. It’s essentially a guarantee that you wind up tapped into the realm of burnout OFTEN.
You’ll try to hack it with better habits, but no amount of habit-swapping will fix what only better realms will unlock for you.
If you take away nothing else from this, let it be this framework:
- Document and name the realm you’re in (awareness).
- Craft your morning routine and formula for the realm you’re tuning for.
- Take stock of and audit resistance to maintain alignment (not all friction is bad, or a sign you should stop).
- FILTER your daily tasks and monitor for anything that is not aligned. Plowing headlong into tasks that are out of alignment will lead to a shift in realms.
Follow strictly. Learn to choose wisely.
