Powers of the Imagination
Imagination is one of the most powerful of all vibrations of Energy in the Universe. When considering imagination it must never be confused with mere fantasy, unreal thoughts or simply as a “figment of the imagination”, but rather as an extremely powerful, natural, God given ability that every single human being without any exception possesses.
Within the inner spheres of reality, as everyone will discover very soon after passing on from the physical world, everything desired is brought into instant manifestation by the use of will, intent and the power of imagination. Thoughts take shape instantly and the more power and emotion projected into thoughts, the more real they become and the longer they will remain.
Thoughts are vibrations, manifestations of Energy, and most thoughts are transient, that is to say they appear, linger for a time depending on the Energy involved and then fade away again. To create something more permanent in the Astral Worlds requires use of the imagination with as much will, intent and focus as possible. This however is often an entirely natural process requiring no particular effort; it is quite literally as natural as thinking.
By constantly making use of and thinking about a particular desire, for example a home, the more solid and real it will become and the longer it will persist. Creations of the type utilized by many people within the Astral Worlds, consensus creations of perhaps thousands or even millions of people, can potentially last for infinity, such creations being the products of collective thoughts and beliefs projected in the same direction and focus by many people.
Within the Astral Worlds, often known as “the beyond” or “the afterlife” where people transition after the process erroneously known as “death”, there are vast areas of Energy comprising just about every type of environment; all consensus creations of numerous people from the past, present and future relative to temporal concept of Earth “time”. These creations are the result of vast collective, consensual Energy configurations that are continually being influenced by Mind, and which Energy therefore endures under the consensual Mind influence almost ad-infinitum.
Many Astral locales including entire cities are inhabited by very large numbers of Astral residents, all continuously influencing the same creative Energy, and thus giving these Astral locales their permanency. The mid-Astral worlds to which people are attracted after the transition from the physical world in accordance with the Energy characteristic of the individual Astral and Mental body, the Soul and Spirit, are almost identical to the physical world, so much so that many people do not immediately know they have actually passed on. This is because the people of the Astral Worlds model the Astral Worlds based upon there own specific experiences and perception of the physical world they have just left, and how they “imagine” it should be. People at that level of evolution on the path often believe that “reality” is represented by material things just as they did on Earth, and accordingly use their powers of the imagination to reproduce that same habitat and perception within the Astral Worlds, thereby creating that reality for themselves with which they feel the most comfortable.
On an individual level therefore a person might create his ideal home, whereas large number of people within the Astral at a consensual level will imagine larger scale constructions such as villages, towns and cities, just as they were used to in physical life. This applies to all Energy levels of the Astral Planes, each level, from the darkest, “hell” like levels to the highest most blissful levels all being a perfect reflection of the vibration of the Soul and Spirit of the people living there, and also their own perception of what “life” should be like in their own reality. This is why, like the physical worlds, the Astral Worlds are ephemeral, transient projections created by the Mind of humans, all of which are destined to progress and transcend that illusion on the path to the glories, splendours and bliss of the Spirit Worlds, pure Mind Worlds where the perception of form simply does not exist and does not need to exist. The reality and glory of the Spirit Worlds are far greater than the temporal physical world or the ephemeral Astral Worlds, as everyone will discover as they progress and evolve along the sacred path of perfection back to The Source, The First Cause, God.
The Astral Worlds are vast, varied and complex, consisting of an infinite number of realms from the earthly equivalent of past, present and future, many of which have been created by beings not of the Earth, but all of which have been created by the very same vibrations, creative Energy of the power of thought, the creative power of the imagination.
The entire Ether of Universe consists of vibration, which is Energy. Thoughts, emotions and powers of the imagination are therefore also degrees of vibration of the same Energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be influenced. It is the interaction and influence of Energy by Mind that results in the manifestation of the objects that are the focus of and are therefore influenced by the imagination in accordance with the Universal laws, and in particular The Law of Attraction. Exactly the same laws also apply to manifestation into the physical world. Before anything at all can manifest as a reality into the physical world it must first be preceded by thought, a very powerful characteristic of which is imagination.
This is very often a subconscious process whereby for example the preparation of a meal is preceded by first imagining what the meal will include, how it should taste, how the meal will be prepared, where the ingredients will be obtained from and finally how it will be presented on the table. This is simply a very basic example whereby an act of creation commenced with the process of imagination is subsequently followed up with direct physical actions in the same direction in order to manifest the original object of the imagination into observable physical reality.
Manifestation can however equally be brought about without the need for any associated direct physical actions at all, exactly the same laws of creation applying to the inner spheres of the Universe also equally applying to the physical world, again in accordance with The Laws of Attraction and Correspondence in particular; “as above, so below”. Just as anything can be created within the inner spheres entirely by means of the powers of imagination, so too can manifestation take place into the physical world by virtue of the same Universal laws, without even the need for any preceding direct physical action.
The physical world however is very dense and of a much lower vibration than the inner Mind Worlds of the Astral and Mental spheres, and therefore more Energy, concentration and focus is required in order to bring about a manifestation observable in the physical world. Many people will have heard of “Magic”. We should note straightaway however that by true Magic as practiced from times immemorial we do not mean the stage illusionists, prestidigitators, conjurors and other such people from the areas of stage entertainment, but rather Magic in its very truest, very highest and most sacred form. Magic is in reality a sacred science, the word “Magic” originating from the “Magi” who fully understood and applied natural Universal laws in order to bring about effect that many might consider to be miraculous.
The practitioner of true Magic understands, aligns him or herself with, and makes full and proper use of Universal laws in order to manifest the desired results in whichever plane of existence the desired result is to be experienced. People often erroneously associate Magic with Occult practices, sorcery and witchcraft for example, but even this is not Magic in its truest and highest form. This is not to say of course that sorcery, witchcraft and similar types of Magic are not effective, because they most certainly can be and often are, depending on the powers of the practitioner. The Universe does not recognize human labels, but only cause and effect by virtue of Universal laws and the influence of the Energy from which everything has been created and has its being.
Sorcery and witchcraft are often performed by utilizing some Universal laws that result in the influence of Energy in the desired direction, by means for example of spells, rituals and other series of actions, but often without the practitioner ever being fully aware of what Universal forces are involved or how they are being applied. The most powerful true Magic is when the practitioner fully and consciously aligns him or herself with, and makes the fullest possible use of Universal laws, powers of the Magi.
What more people consider to be “Magic” (not the street magic, could more properly be referred to as “manifestation”. Manifestation is in the broadest terms the use of the imagination in order to manifest the object of the imagination into physical reality in accordance with Universal laws and is the fundamental basis for all creation.
In the case of witchcraft, sorcery and similar practices practitioners often make use of spells, rituals and other regalia such as candles, swords, athame’s and much more, in order to provide the focus, intent and Energy required for the object of the imagination, usually by creative visualization, to manifest into the material world. It is most certainly not at all necessary to practice witchcraft or sorcery in order to manifest into the physical world, these are quite simply the age-old traditions that are still carried on till today.
One of the most important aspects of successful manifestation is highly focussed and concentrated Energy in the form of thought or imagination. Indeed, the more Energy behind a manifestation the sooner it can materialize into the physical world as an observable reality. Very often, spells and rituals are only carried out once, meaning the chances of success are more variable and in accordance with the expertise of the focus, concentration and expertise of the practitioner. Magic, or more specifically manifestation can therefore be accomplished by anyone without requiring any form of occult, esoteric or mystical practices, to be performed in order to be successful. Indeed, such practices can sometimes lead to frustration with the accompanying lack of observable results. Anyone at all can manifest and create any reality for themselves by fully understanding and applying Natural Universal Laws utilizing the simple, enjoyable and effective exercises.
Finally, A Word of Caution – All your thoughts, imaginations and creative visualizations must only be for the purposes of good, either for yourself or for other people. Never, ever be tempted to use these powers to harm another person. If you do, the Universal Law of Cause and Effect, of which Karma is an integral aspect will most surely operate against you, and either in this or future life you will have to pay the price. This is not intended to be a system of punishment as such as with a Court of Law. The simple fact of the matter is that every cause has its corresponding effect, positive, negative or neutral, and Karma is no more than the causation of the Law of Attraction that ensure that no being can be the cause of anything negative without experiencing the corresponding effect.
We use the word “experiencing” rather than “suffering”. Everyone is here to experience and to evolve and not to suffer which is a human construct based on a perception relative to self and the ego. The Universe operates under the influence of the most powerful force in the Universe, Unconditional Love, and that applies to every aspect of human evolution, and indeed the evolution of the entire Universe and all Beings, all expressions of God.
Providing always that your Thoughts, Intentions, Energy, Imaginations and Creative Visualizations are always for the purposes of good and for genuine needs, and not based in greed, in other words will not bring harm to others in the process, only good will surely result, and your needs and desires will be fulfilled without Karmic consequences.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(22)
The Secrets of “Logging On Inside” to Succeed
by Bob Scheinfeld
Logging on to the Internet today is just about as amazing as making a phone call. At the very least, we rely on it to communicate, research, sell, buy, and find recreation. But as amazing as the Internet appears, it has its limitations. However, there's another network you can access to get the help you need to succeed. It’s much larger and older than the Internet, infinitely more powerful, and doesn't require a computer. It’s the invisible network— and the mindset and system for tapping into it is what I call The 11th Element.
The Internet connects us at the conscious level, while the invisible network connects us beneath our conscious awareness, at an unconscious level. Once considered “new age” or “way out,” today international scientists, including those at Harvard University and Stanford Research Institute, among various other private institutions, are documenting the unconscious as a real and potent force.
You Have Already Connected
Have you ever known something was going to happen before it actually did? Or picked up the phone knowing intuitively who was on the other end? Perhaps you’ve known what someone else was going to say before they said it. You’ve certainly had hunches that proved to be accurate. Where do you think this knowledge came from?
Rob Strasser, once a top executive with Nike, had a hunch, a feeling that the company should invest major resources in the new “Nike Air” line of shoes. Without any hard data backup, he pushed the project forward despite tremendous resistance from the management team. Nike Air ended up being one of the most successful product launches the company ever made. Where do think Strasser’s “feeling” came from?
Stare at anyone through car window glass at a stoplight or in a crowded mall or sitting several seats in front of you in a theater. Often the person will turn to look directly at you because they “felt” you staring at them. How did they know not only that someone’s looking at them, but where that person is?
When I was 16 years old, I was in a bad car accident at 3:00 in the morning. At that exact moment, my mother woke up, sat straight up in bed, and knew something “bad” had happened to me. How could she possibly have known?
Why do you think you have an instant attraction to or dislike of someone you’ve met for the first time? Why do you feel you can trust them or that they make you feel uncomfortable?
All these unexplainable experiences are examples of how we constantly log on to the invisible network without consciously intending to. The real question is not: “Is there really an invisible network connecting us all together?” The real question is: “How can I use the invisible network to help me build my business and wealth?”
Dual Purposes Of The Invisible Network
The invisible network serves two purposes in your life. It’s an information storehouse and a communications “switchboard 1. Information Storehouse: On the Internet “search engines” store huge collections of information you can access to research virtually any subject. The invisible network also has search engines, but their functionality is much larger and more complex than their limited Internet counterparts.
The invisible network automatically receives information about everything and everyone in the world and stores that information in its search engines. I call this collected information “master biography files.” For example, if someone is working on a cure for cancer in Japan, developing an invention in Australia, has a special skill and lives in South Africa, offers a unique product or service in the United States, or has new strategies she’s applying in England, the details are automatically sent into the network where you can access them for your benefit. Even more amazing, the information in the Invisible network is continuously updated on a real-time, moment-to-moment basis.
That’s why tapping into the Invisible network helps you find what you need to produce
extraordinary results, and provides access to raw power that goes so far beyond your
conscious capabilities.
2. Communication “Switchboard”: Messages flow 24/7 through the invisible network at the unconscious level. Every second people are sending messages asking for help in achieving goals and specifying the kind of help they’re willing to offer others. And just like in the “surface world,” we discuss, negotiate, make decisions, and make agreements at the unconscious level: “I’ll do this for you if you’ll do that for me.” The excitement happens when we see “on the surface” the positive result of our unconscious request.
If the Internet excites you, imagine magnifying its available resources and possibilities billions of times and you have a slight idea of what’s possible when you start tapping into the invisible network. No matter what’s going on in your business or financial life right now—with sales, profits, income, operations, employees, net worth, investments, and so on—it’s all being shaped in powerful and amazing ways by information and messages previously sent into the invisible network.
Asking for Help On The Invisible Network
If you send out 20 e-mails with a question, you’ll get answers back but you can’t expect answers to questions you didn’t ask. The invisible network works the same way. You must ask for the help you want and need! It may not always seem so, but at the unconscious level everyone on the planet wants to help everyone else fulfill their life purposes and complete their missions. And just like on the Internet, other people will help you if you ask them properly. You just have to know how to find the right people and how to ask them for help so you get the positive response you desire.
In my 11th Element work, I show you how to access the invisible network in the most effective way by working with your "Inner CEO" – the "internal guidance system" that helps you attain your goals based on their relevance to your mission and purpose. You can begin now as I did, without always having the contacts, ideas, skills, knowledge, and resources I ultimately needed and used to succeed. Begin by asking for help and letting your “inner guidance” be your guide.

Logging on to the Internet today is just about as amazing as making a phone call. At the very least, we rely on it to communicate, research, sell, buy, and find recreation. But as amazing as the Internet appears, it has its limitations. However, there's another network you can access to get the help you need to succeed. It’s much larger and older than the Internet, infinitely more powerful, and doesn't require a computer. It’s the invisible network— and the mindset and system for tapping into it is what I call The 11th Element.
The Internet connects us at the conscious level, while the invisible network connects us beneath our conscious awareness, at an unconscious level. Once considered “new age” or “way out,” today international scientists, including those at Harvard University and Stanford Research Institute, among various other private institutions, are documenting the unconscious as a real and potent force.
You Have Already Connected
Have you ever known something was going to happen before it actually did? Or picked up the phone knowing intuitively who was on the other end? Perhaps you’ve known what someone else was going to say before they said it. You’ve certainly had hunches that proved to be accurate. Where do you think this knowledge came from?
Rob Strasser, once a top executive with Nike, had a hunch, a feeling that the company should invest major resources in the new “Nike Air” line of shoes. Without any hard data backup, he pushed the project forward despite tremendous resistance from the management team. Nike Air ended up being one of the most successful product launches the company ever made. Where do think Strasser’s “feeling” came from?
Stare at anyone through car window glass at a stoplight or in a crowded mall or sitting several seats in front of you in a theater. Often the person will turn to look directly at you because they “felt” you staring at them. How did they know not only that someone’s looking at them, but where that person is?
When I was 16 years old, I was in a bad car accident at 3:00 in the morning. At that exact moment, my mother woke up, sat straight up in bed, and knew something “bad” had happened to me. How could she possibly have known?
Why do you think you have an instant attraction to or dislike of someone you’ve met for the first time? Why do you feel you can trust them or that they make you feel uncomfortable?
All these unexplainable experiences are examples of how we constantly log on to the invisible network without consciously intending to. The real question is not: “Is there really an invisible network connecting us all together?” The real question is: “How can I use the invisible network to help me build my business and wealth?”
Dual Purposes Of The Invisible Network
The invisible network serves two purposes in your life. It’s an information storehouse and a communications “switchboard 1. Information Storehouse: On the Internet “search engines” store huge collections of information you can access to research virtually any subject. The invisible network also has search engines, but their functionality is much larger and more complex than their limited Internet counterparts.
The invisible network automatically receives information about everything and everyone in the world and stores that information in its search engines. I call this collected information “master biography files.” For example, if someone is working on a cure for cancer in Japan, developing an invention in Australia, has a special skill and lives in South Africa, offers a unique product or service in the United States, or has new strategies she’s applying in England, the details are automatically sent into the network where you can access them for your benefit. Even more amazing, the information in the Invisible network is continuously updated on a real-time, moment-to-moment basis.
That’s why tapping into the Invisible network helps you find what you need to produce
extraordinary results, and provides access to raw power that goes so far beyond your
conscious capabilities.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(21)
Why Gratitude is the Key to Getting Anything You Want
by Jeff Staniforth
When it comes to worldly affairs, the saying, "Seeing is believing" reigns supreme. When you “see” someone accomplish something, you start to “believe” in that person's ability. If a product delivers what it promises, you then believe that it works. When you see a "formula" yield positive results, you begin to believe in it.
Evidence is essential in order for people to believe. This has led to the saying, "I'll believe it when I see it." The proof is in the pudding. But in spiritual affairs, the opposite is true. "Believing is seeing." If you believe first, you will see that thing that you believe in manifest itself in front of your very eyes. That's a testament to the awesome power of belief. This has led to another saying: "I'll see it when I believe it."
However, for most people, believing is the problem.
That's why most people who lack conviction when they recite affirmations, for instance, are missing the secret ingredient that's necessary to materialize their dreams.
If you've ever encountered some internal resistance when you first read or speak a positive affirmation, that's an indication that you do not really believe what you're saying.
For example, how can you really believe the affirmation, "I am perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit" when outer appearances point to the contrary (e.g., you're sick or in pain)?
An important part of believing is to feel "as if it has already happened." I have found that one of the best ways to evoke that feeling is to express gratitude after you recite an affirmation.
Just saying the words, "Thank you" after you state your affirmation reinforces the belief that the universe (or God, or your Creator, or whatever name you call the Supreme Being) has already set about the fulfillment of your desire. You may not see your affirmed desire fully manifested yet at the present time, but expressing thanks makes you believe that what you've asked for is already done. Thereafter, you have a sense of expectancy that what you desire will eventually come to fruition.
If there was ever a "formula" for manifesting desires, this is it. Ancient spiritual manuscripts, including the Bible, emphasize that a single-minded belief is essential in receiving what you ask for. They also warn against double-mindedness. Know with absolute and unwavering certainty that what you are affirming is already yours. "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." So believe that it's already done by simply saying "Thank you" or assuming an attitude of gratitude after affirming what you want. I once heard a wonderful quotation from an anonymous author that says it profoundly:
"We can start with who we are and what we have today, apply gratitude, then let it work its magic. Say thank you, until you mean it. If you say it long enough, you will believe it. Today will shine the transforming light of gratitude on all the circumstances of my life."

The Science of a Positive Attitude
by Eva Gregory
A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: “Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights all the time.” When asked which dog wins he reflected for a moment and replied, “The one I feed the most.” – George Bernard Shaw
Quantum physicists have been playing with the notion that our thoughts and feelings have a direct influence on the physical world. Everything, they say, is connected through energy. You know already about the three Laws of Attraction, and how much your thoughts and feelings have to do with what you create in your life. Did you know that scientists are now agreeing with what we call the Laws of Attraction? They are!
Here's a simplified explanation of this scientific phenomena we call the Law of Attraction:
At the sub-atomic level, everything is always in motion. Time and space don’t exist as we know them. A butterfly merrily flapping its wings in Japan can affect the weather in New York. It’s all energy that interacts simultaneously.
Thoughts and feelings are also energy. (They have been measured as such). Because thoughts and feelings are energy, they vibrate (move). Each thought and feeling vibrates at a specific frequency (how fast it vibrates). Negative feelings vibrate at a slower frequency than positive feelings.
The power (amplitude) of the thought or feeling is affected by the strength of the thought or feeling, which in turn is impacted by the number of times that thought / feeling is focused on. That is, if you keep repeating, “money corrupts”, it amplifies the vibration of that thought.
Remember, everything is energy, and all energy vibrates at a specific characteristic frequency.
OK. Now, we get into the scientific Law of Attraction. The scientific Law of Attraction states that an object (physical object, thought, feeling) will naturally attract that with which it is in vibrational harmony. Strike a tuning fork, and the strings that are in tune with that vibrating object will also begin to vibrate. Thoughts, ideas, and emotions must follow this Law of Attraction because they too are "objects" with an energetic vibration.
Now we get to the fun part. I suspect by now you really understand the Law of Attraction – like attracts like. Like thoughts or feelings attract thoughts and feelings that are vibrating at the same or similar frequencies. Likewise, these thoughts and feelings attract PHYSICAL objects (people, events) that are vibrating at a similar frequency.
But, how does our mind actually take all this in and process it?
Your brain is assaulted by thousands of messages each second. Everything you see, hear, smell, feel and touch is a message entering your brain. Part of your brain filters through all these messages and decides which ones will move into your conscious awareness. Have you ever purchased a new car, only to see thousands of that same car and color on the road for the next week? How about when two people can go to a movie and have entirely different experiences? If you've ever experienced that, you know what I mean by the brain’s filtering mechanism.
When you focus your attention on something you don’t want, for example “I don’t want to lose any more money!”, you’re telling your brain to flag anything related to losing money as important. You “see” more evidence to support exactly what you do NOT want to see! It flags it as important because it's what you're focused on.
Scientists say that the brain is plastic: it can and does remodel itself, sometimes within a remarkably short period of time. And with the brain, timing is everything. What this means for you is that as you focus more of your attention on positive thoughts, you are actually shifting the neural pathways of your brain!
This is why it gets easier as you practice shifting your focus and practicing positive thoughts! Your brain is actually “reprogramming” itself to notice more positive things. This is particularly interesting when you think about the impact it can have on our ability to succeed at something. If you're focused on the "bad dog" -that is, why you're failing - you'll strengthen those neural pathways. Conversely, a continual focus on the “good dog” - success, with a positive mental attitude - strengthens the neural pathways for success!

How to Attract More Money Into Your Life: Two Thing s You Can Do – Right Now
by Michael Losier
One of the most common questions people ask me about the Law of Attraction is how to use it to attract more money. Money is simply the energy of abundance, and the Law of Attraction can therefore be used deliberately to increase abundance in our lives. To understand how to increase the energy of abundance, consider this: The Law of Attraction is all about vibes.
The word vibes comes from the longer word—vibration. All energy is vibration. We commonly use the word vibe to refer to experiences that give off a negative vibe or a positive vibe. So, when we say we get a good vibe or a bad vibe from an experience, we are actually describing positive vibrations or negative vibrations.
Here is an important concept that is vital to understanding how to use the Law of Attraction; vibrations are generated as a result of the thoughts and words we use. A vibration is simply a mood or a feeling. In every moment, we are emitting (sending or offering) a vibration. In the vibrational world, there are only two kinds of vibrations; positive or negative. The Law of Attraction is a powerful, universal law that simply responds to our vibration by giving us more of the same, whether wanted or unwanted -- in every moment, including right now!
Definition of the Law of Attraction: I attract to myself, whatever I give my focus, attention, or energy to; whether wanted or unwanted. The Law of Attraction is an obedient law. Understanding that, we want to become more deliberate offerers of the vibes that we are emitting.
Using the Law of Attraction to Increase Our Abundance
We have learned so far that all feelings give off vibrations, either positive or negative.
Abundance is a feeling and that’s GOOD news. Why? All feelings can be duplicated! Abundance is a feeling, and that feeling has a corresponding vibration that we can duplicate. In many cases, people are duplicating the feeling of lack, sadness, or hopelessness simply by the thoughts and the words they use. Given that we can generate feelings by our words and thoughts, we can learn how to duplicate the feelings of abundance more intentionally, using our words and thoughts.
The best news of all is, the Law of Attraction doesn’t know if we are generating a thought by; remembering, pretending, creating, visualizing, or day-dreaming. It simply responds to our vibration in that moment. And -- we can only hold one vibration at a time! By creating the vibration of abundance more deliberately and more often, we are INCREASING abundance in our lives.
I suggest that you commit to this process of deliberately duplicating the vibration of abundance, by using your thoughts, for the next 7 days. Start today! Here’s the exercise that will help you do that.
Part One:
Build a list of all the sources and resources where money and abundance can come from. Most people when asked: “How could you get more money?” reply that they could work more to earn more money. The belief that the ONLY way to increase your abundance, is to find a way to earn more money, is a limiting belief. There are actually many, many other ways that abundance can increase in your life. Here are 5 sources of abundance. Start with these and build your list to 60 sources or more!
Sources of Abundance:
Someone treats you to lunch (or breakfast or dinner)
Someone gives you free advice or coaching
You receive gifts
You receive free transportation or lodging
You get your 3rd cup of coffee free
Part Two:
Keep a daily log of all the sources from which you are receiving abundance. This will significantly help you to notice abundance in your life. Keeping a daily log shows you concrete evidence that abundance DOES exist and IS increasing in your life. Celebrate! When you notice abundance, celebrate the evidence of it in your life—and while celebrating, know that you are offering the positive vibration of abundance.
Remember, at every moment, including right now, the Law of Attraction is checking to see which vibration you are offering, responding to that vibration, and giving you more of the same.
Here’s a great tip! Two minutes a day of deliberate attention to abundance is better than no minutes. This exercise will have you emitting or offering the vibration of abundance more deliberately and more frequently. Have fun with this! Start doing this exercise for the next 7 days and notice the things you can now start telling yourself: “I’m so abundant! I’ve attracted evidence of abundance every day for the last 7 days.” “I’m so abundant; I’ve attracted 100’s of dollars of free advice in the last 7 days.”
Become a deliberate offerer of your vibration and the Law of Attraction will obediently bring you more of the same.

Creating the Prosperity Mindset
by Randy Gage
The note was scrawled across the back of a flyer for the chaplain program. It was written by a parishioner, right after a Sunday service I had given at my own church.
“I hadn’t realized until you pointed it out that it’s the rich people who are the spiritual ones,” he wrote. “I guess those slave holders were on the right track. The only thing wrong was the prosperity consciousness of those slaves!”
No doubt the writer was being quite sarcastic, and thought his comments would expose the absurdity of my teaching, and support his beliefs. Which it’s safe to assume, that it is somehow spiritual to be poor, and that rich people are exploiting the poor.
It’s fascinating that he would pick such an analogy, because I DO believe that in many cases, rich people are operating at a higher consciousness than poor people. That’s why they are rich! I also believe people who allow others to steal their freedom have serious issues of prosperity consciousness. Since he didn’t sign his note, he won’t discover that instead of seeing irony in his comments—I see an element of truth. Imagine the amazement and shock he might feel. Perhaps you are feeling the same way now.
The fact that rich people have amassed wealth indicates that they are living by at least some of the spiritual laws that govern prosperity. Of course, this does not mean that all rich people are spiritual and all poor people are not. Prosperity is a synergy of a number of factors, including a strong spiritual connection, optimum health, great relationships, rewarding vocation, and, yes, the material aspects.
So, rich people who are sick, bitter and lonely are certainly not prosperous. By the same token, however, if you are healthy, spiritually grounded, have a great marriage, but struggle to pay your credit cards each month—you are certainly not prosperous.
In his book James Allen relates how usual it is for people to say, “Many men are slaves because one is an oppressor; let us hate the oppressor.” He then goes on to note the increasing tendency of people to say, “One man is an oppressor because they are slaves; let us despise the slaves.”
The real truth is that both the slaves and the oppressor are co-creators in ignorance, lack, and limitation. While it seems that they are victimizing each other—in reality, they are each victimizing themselves.
Prosperity and human dignity are both based upon value received. An oppressor cannot sustain prosperity because he is exacting more than he returns, and will ultimately bankrupt his own consciousness. A slave gives not enough value to himself, and likewise ends up in a state of spiritual bankruptcy. As the Course in Miracles teaches, they are no victims, only volunteers.
A person will remain weak, dependent and miserable by refusing to raise his or her consciousness. A person can reject servitude, conquer limitations, and achieve greatness by raising his or her consciousness. To quote again from Allen’s book:
“A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must be strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.”
It’s tough to develop the strength to be prosperous, if you’re being continually programmed that it’s spiritual to be poor. Especially if you’re not even aware you’re being programmed and it’s on a subconscious level.
To experience true spiritual prosperity, you have to be manifesting prosperity in ALL areas of your life. Yet if you’re doing ok in most areas, but you don’t have much money — it’s easy to fall into the trap our note writer did. You want to believe that somehow your reward is coming later, heaven perhaps, and that you will in some way be compensated for living your current life of limitation. After all, who among us wants to believe that we are suffering needlessly, or have riches at our fingertips, but refuse to partake in them?
Now to be fair to our letter writer—he certainly isn’t alone. This kind of thinking is quite pervasive today. So why would I write a book with a message, sure to threaten so many people? Because I fear what will happen to them when they are not threatened. I take the privilege and the responsibility of my platform seriously. In fact, I consider it sacred. I speak the messages I perceive people need to hear, not necessarily the ones they want to hear. It pains me to see anyone anywhere experiencing poverty and lack in their life.
When you think about it, the idea of me giving a Sunday church service is kind of funny. I was raised atheist, and entered a church only twice in my first 30 years on the planet. Once by accident, and once for a wedding. When I found my way to the church I would eventually call home, I was unemployed, had no car, was $55,000 in debt, and selling my furniture to eat. My health was shot; my relationships were an absolute mess; and I couldn’t have been more unhappy. By the time the furniture was gone, and I was eating macaroni and cheese three times a day, I discovered a very fascinating thing...
I came to understand that success and prosperity had almost nothing to do with opportunities, chance, luck—or even training, education, or skill. It had everything to do with consciousness, beliefs, and even subconscious programming that you aren’t aware of. Poverty is not an absence of money and things—it is a mindset. Prosperity is not an abundance of money and things—it’s also a mindset.
When I began studying the laws that govern prosperity, I embraced the principles out of desperation . . . I applied those principles, and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has had a greater degree of turnaround. I am truly blessed, manifesting abundance in all areas of my life, in ever increasing ways.
This only happened because I was willing to confront my weaknesses, discover and eliminate the insidious “lack” programming I had, and replace it with positive programming. To this day, I am ever vigilant, mindful of what I allow myself to watch and listen to, and the people I associate with.
I had to get out of my comfort zone, brave fears, and face up to my beliefs. Once you have done this, you feel called to help others challenge the self-limiting beliefs that are holding them back from their greatness. That was the motivation I felt that morning, as I spoke at church, and the motivation that has me writing this book for you now.
Money is part of the magic in life. It is an enabling force that allows you to be the real you. It allows you to go where you wish to go, do what you wish to do, and become who you desire to become. Money is God in action!
Poverty causes people to lie, cheat, steal, and even kill. There is NOTHING spiritual about poverty. Yes, poverty really does suck. Some of the people in my audiences are shocked when I make the statement that it is a sin to be poor. Of course, Charles Fillmore shocked the religious community of his day, when he made that proclamation almost 100 years ago. It still has the power to stun people today.
Yet if you learn the actual translation of sin, it means to “miss the mark.” The Course in Miracles defines sin as a lack of love. I believe both characterizations are accurate. When you are providing true value to the universe—you are rewarded with riches. That’s the way the universe works. All the time, with no exception.
When I speak to an audience, or write a book like this, I want people to understand a very simple, but very important thing. They can’t help anyone unless they have first helped themselves. Or as Reverend Ike would say, the best thing you can do for poor people is not be one of them!
It doesn’t serve God or you, if you are broke, sick, unhappy, or in dysfunctional relationships. You have to believe you are worthy of prosperity in ALL of its forms. Then as you walk the path of spiritual consciousness, you will find that you begin to manifest it more every day. And that is what drives me to do what I do. So if I shock you, offend you, or threaten you with what I write—please evaluate why that might be. And know that I am coming from a place of love, and wanting the highest good for you.
I want you to be healthy, happy and rich!
by Randy Gage
The note was scrawled across the back of a flyer for the chaplain program. It was written by a parishioner, right after a Sunday service I had given at my own church.
“I hadn’t realized until you pointed it out that it’s the rich people who are the spiritual ones,” he wrote. “I guess those slave holders were on the right track. The only thing wrong was the prosperity consciousness of those slaves!”
No doubt the writer was being quite sarcastic, and thought his comments would expose the absurdity of my teaching, and support his beliefs. Which it’s safe to assume, that it is somehow spiritual to be poor, and that rich people are exploiting the poor.
It’s fascinating that he would pick such an analogy, because I DO believe that in many cases, rich people are operating at a higher consciousness than poor people. That’s why they are rich! I also believe people who allow others to steal their freedom have serious issues of prosperity consciousness. Since he didn’t sign his note, he won’t discover that instead of seeing irony in his comments—I see an element of truth. Imagine the amazement and shock he might feel. Perhaps you are feeling the same way now.
The fact that rich people have amassed wealth indicates that they are living by at least some of the spiritual laws that govern prosperity. Of course, this does not mean that all rich people are spiritual and all poor people are not. Prosperity is a synergy of a number of factors, including a strong spiritual connection, optimum health, great relationships, rewarding vocation, and, yes, the material aspects.
So, rich people who are sick, bitter and lonely are certainly not prosperous. By the same token, however, if you are healthy, spiritually grounded, have a great marriage, but struggle to pay your credit cards each month—you are certainly not prosperous.
In his book James Allen relates how usual it is for people to say, “Many men are slaves because one is an oppressor; let us hate the oppressor.” He then goes on to note the increasing tendency of people to say, “One man is an oppressor because they are slaves; let us despise the slaves.”
The real truth is that both the slaves and the oppressor are co-creators in ignorance, lack, and limitation. While it seems that they are victimizing each other—in reality, they are each victimizing themselves.
Prosperity and human dignity are both based upon value received. An oppressor cannot sustain prosperity because he is exacting more than he returns, and will ultimately bankrupt his own consciousness. A slave gives not enough value to himself, and likewise ends up in a state of spiritual bankruptcy. As the Course in Miracles teaches, they are no victims, only volunteers.
A person will remain weak, dependent and miserable by refusing to raise his or her consciousness. A person can reject servitude, conquer limitations, and achieve greatness by raising his or her consciousness. To quote again from Allen’s book:
“A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must be strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.”
It’s tough to develop the strength to be prosperous, if you’re being continually programmed that it’s spiritual to be poor. Especially if you’re not even aware you’re being programmed and it’s on a subconscious level.
To experience true spiritual prosperity, you have to be manifesting prosperity in ALL areas of your life. Yet if you’re doing ok in most areas, but you don’t have much money — it’s easy to fall into the trap our note writer did. You want to believe that somehow your reward is coming later, heaven perhaps, and that you will in some way be compensated for living your current life of limitation. After all, who among us wants to believe that we are suffering needlessly, or have riches at our fingertips, but refuse to partake in them?
Now to be fair to our letter writer—he certainly isn’t alone. This kind of thinking is quite pervasive today. So why would I write a book with a message, sure to threaten so many people? Because I fear what will happen to them when they are not threatened. I take the privilege and the responsibility of my platform seriously. In fact, I consider it sacred.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(17)
Fears: A Detour on the Road to Success
by Boris Vene
If you are like most people, you are often confronted with fears that hold you back - consciously or subconsciously. Although you weren’t born with them, you are under the strong influence of the environment that implanted them. You might even be tempted to think that worry and fear is the primary base from which your actions stem. Sales people know of this powerful influence. People buy truckloads of insurance in preparation for some disaster that “might” happen. “It is better to be safe than sorry.” Do you have an extra set of keys (or two) for your house or car? Do you buy food, drinks or even pills that will help you improve your complexion or lose unwanted weight?
Whether it is a fear of losing something good, or getting something bad, fear is a driving force that is always there ... New situations in life force you to confront a new set of fears. You may even comfort yourself by saying it isn’t so bad. Have you ever made a doctor’s appointment, a dentist appointment or a hairstyling appointment only to arrive in the respective waiting area with no pain or the best hair day you’ve had in a long time? Now you want to go home. Fear is a powerful motivator.
Some of the more common fears are:
1. Fear of the Unknown
2. Fear of Failure and Rejection
3. Fear of Loss (losing what you have)
4. Fear of Facing Reality
5. Fear of Disapproval
You have to deal with ALL of these fears if you want to succeed. You cannot deny them or banish them to your subconscious, as that will only add fuel to a fire that will probably and suddenly burst out beyond your control. Like fires, fears are easiest to squelch when they are still small. Confront your fears and banish them forever! Start with ...The Fear Of The Unknown.
There isn’t a person alive that isn’t apprehensive, nervous or even fearful of entering new territory, wandering into the great unknown. What will it hold? How will it change you? Will you be able to handle the situation or complete the task? Will you know what to do and have the ability to do it? Will you be laughed at? Will it be worth it?
One way of confronting the unknown is to recognize that without action you will never escape mediocrity. The primary difference between people who fulfill their dreams and those that don’t is action – the former move from words to action, the latter never get beyond the words.
Ask yourself: What could I lose if I begin to act? Answer frankly. Typical answers are time, pride and so on. You should note that these answers are merely superficial. What could I gain? An experience that will, without a doubt, make you richer (maybe financially) and one that will bring you closer, above all, to success. You shouldn’t forget that it is self-confidence, overcoming your fears and changing your habits or undesirable attributes (like transforming yourself from timid to outgoing) that bring you a step closer to attaining your desires.
I remember a case where a young entrepreneur was taking an exceptionally long time to decide whether to start a new business that excited him, or not, because his mind told him that he wouldn’t succeed. After a conversation we had, he decided to start the business because he felt this was his path. He didn’t succeed; in fact, the results were pretty awful at first.
I was surprised a year later when I received a kind letter from him thanking me for the time I had spent with him. He wrote that he has been a changed man since then and that he is enjoying what he is doing for the first time in his life. He wasn’t doing well, financially, in the beginning, but gradually he built a firm foundation and is now earning well.
“If I hadn’t made the choice and taken that first step,” he added, “I wouldn’t have known that work exists that can bring in both money and pleasure. My first financial failure was a small price to pay for such awareness. More importantly, it enabled me to identify the fear that had been present in all my business and personal decisions in the past. Today, I laugh at the limits I was living under then. Now, I’m happy to meet new challenges and I have been succeeding in everything I do lately.”
If making a decision appears too difficult, take a piece of paper, divide it in half and write out the pros and the cons. More often than not, the “against” side is filled with “circumstantial objections,” like “a lack of self-confidence,” or “I don’t have enough money or time.” The substance of these objections cannot compare to the reasons “for” doing something.
Most of your reasons for not doing something are probably based on weak excuses. If you are afraid of doing something, your mind will find a way to make sure that you don’t do it, will even stand in your way and prevent you from doing something that it perceives you do not want. Be sure to address all your fears first and then take that piece of paper in your hands once again.
Chase your fears away and consciously decide to take a chance in life. Trust me, it’s usually well worth the trouble! Of course, the decision (as always in life) is still yours.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(16)
Creating Wealth
by Karim Hajee
Ever wonder how some people have a lot of money and just keep making more and more money - while some people struggle to make ends meet - even though they keep doing everything they can to make more money? Or why some people always have the money to buy what they want while others continue to pile up their debts even though they have a decent job? I’m going to explain why this happens and how you can become one of those people who are always living life with a positive cash flow.
Positive Wealth Consciousness
Over the years - through research, interviews and teaching my Creating Power System I’ve learned that people who have a great deal of wealth and people who maintain a positive cash flow have developed a positive wealth consciousness. In short – they always have money because they always believe they will have money. As a result they continuously attract money and moneymaking opportunities - while at the same time they find ways to save money and make their money work for them. Now it wasn’t always this way. Not all of them had money to start with - in fact most people earned their money and continued to find ways to make more money.
I remember talking to a good friend, Ivan, who owns a chain of hotels across the United States and is now expanding into Canada and overseas. He explained he had come from an immigrant family; his father worked as an accountant and later opened a retail store while his mother put herself through school - eventually becoming a nurse. I’m not going to bore you with his entire life story. But my point is he didn’t have a family that gave him a million dollars to start his venture. Instead he started off working for his father, eventually took over the business, bought another - made it a success – sold it and bought another until he got his first hotel just outside Dallas.
I asked him: “Were you ever nervous? Did you ever think about failing? Did you ever have those what if thoughts?” He answered: “They entered my mind - but I dismissed them rather quickly - I just thought about making it happen and convinced myself that it would happen. After that I never doubted I would succeed - I just didn’t know how big this whole thing would get.” In short Ivan developed a positive wealth consciousness -without being aware of what he had technically done - but he had trained his mind and subconscious to focus only on creating wealth.
So What Is A Positive Wealth Consciousness?
This is the process of believing that you can and will make money. It involves believing that it is your right to make money and create wealth. It requires that you focus on all the good things that your wealth can do for you and those around you. It means understanding that if you have more wealth you will help more people. It means putting your ego aside - not desiring wealth so that you can show off and say: “Look at me, I’m rich.” Instead - it means saying: “Yes I have a lot of wealth and that allows me to take care of a lot of people - including my family and all those that I help when I spend my money.” Yes you will spend your money - let’s face it - the more you have the more you will spend. This is the basis of Creating a Wealth Consciousness. Because you believe that having money is not a good thing - then you will never have any money - no matter how hard you try. Once you get this new belief - that having money is a good thing - into your system then you can begin attracting Wealth.
In order to attract wealth you need to first look at where you are now and then create a realistic plan for the next 3 months, 6 months, year and five years. If you’re in debt and don’t have a job - aiming to have a million dollars in 6 months is not being very realistic. Instead your first priority should be to get a job and get out of debt. If you already have a job and you want to make more money - then give yourself some realistic targets for the next 3 months, 6 months, year and 5 years. Now I know some of you will say it’s difficult to make money - I don’t know what to do to make more money - I’m in debt and don’t know how to get out. For every problem there is a solution – otherwise we wouldn’t have problems. Focus on finding a solution. Train your mind to focus on the solution. Start sending the messages to your subconscious that you want a solution. Do this regularly and you’ll get answers. The money won’t fall from the sky but you will be guided to it.
How Do You Train Your Mind?
You first focus on what you want. Let’s say you want to find a job - you start telling yourself: “I know what to do to find a job. I’m doing the right things to find a job. I’ve got the right job.” Then start thinking of all the possible things you can do to get a job. I know you may say: “I’ve done all that - and still have nothing.” The only reason you don’t have anything is because you’re not looking in the right place. You’re not paying attention to the signs along the road. You may be dead set on getting a particular job and ignoring all kinds of other opportunities.
The same applies if you’re trying to make more money. You may be bent on making money a certain way - in the process you’re ignoring the other opportunities that are being presented - often dismissing them. I had a student who wanted to make more money. He thought the only way that he could make more money was by expanding his business. He did that - but didn’t make as much as he thought. Once he started working with the Creating Power System he started paying attention to the other opportunities. He ran into an old friend while he was car hunting and to cut a long story short – they decided to partner in some real estate ventures - and things took off. He still has his business - but the additional money he wanted to make - money that he thought he could only make from his business - came from a completely different source.
This only happened because he paid attention to the signs along the road. He was presented with a number of other opportunities before partnering with his friend – but they didn’t seem right to him. Eventually he made the right choice because he was calm, and believed that he would get the right opportunity at the right time. That’s the other ingredient needed. You have to be patient and trust that you will get what you need and want at the right time - but remember - you have to put that ego aside and go with what is best.
My friend Ivan, who owns the hotel chains, examined a number of business opportunities before buying his first hotel - including buying a 50-percent stake in a used car lot. The used car dealership is still successful - but it pales in comparison to where he is now. About the used car dealership he said: “At the time - it just didn’t feel right. I went through the books, knew it would be successful - but I just didn’t see myself doing that.” You have to go with what fits for you - just because it’s a good opportunity - doesn’t mean its right for you. Ivan passed on that deal and 2 months later he bought his first hotel. That was in 1993. But he was willing to wait for what he thought felt right.
What You Can Do To Attract Wealth
There are a number of things you can do to attract wealth, no matter what your situation. You simply have to get your mind to work for you and not against you. Here’s a little exercise you can do. Get a notepad and a pen. Now start thinking about making money or improving your finances. Write down all the thoughts that come to mind when you think about improving your finances or creating wealth. Be honest - only you will see this list. Keep going until you feel you’ve had enough. Keep adding to that list over the course of the day. Then when you feel you’ve got enough - take a look at what you wrote. Underline the thoughts that are positive and circle the thoughts that are negative. How many are negative? Any negative thought you have about money or improving your finances is tied to a belief that you have about money and only works against you. If you think it’s difficult to make more money - you’ll only have difficulties when it comes to making money. Why? Because your subconscious mind is only going to create your reality based on your beliefs. It doesn’t care if these beliefs are good or bad for you. It simply acts on your instructions - and those instructions are your thoughts and beliefs. So change your thoughts and you change your beliefs. Change your beliefs and you change your life.

Start sending the messages to your subconscious that you want a solution. Do this regularly and you’ll get answers. The money won’t fall from the sky but you will be guided to it.
How Do You Train Your Mind?
You first focus on what you want. Let’s say you want to find a job - you start telling yourself: “I know what to do to find a job. I’m doing the right things to find a job. I’ve got the right job.” Then start thinking of all the possible things you can do to get a job. I know you may say: “I’ve done all that - and still have nothing.” The only reason you don’t have anything is because you’re not looking in the right place. You’re not paying attention to the signs along the road. You may be dead set on getting a particular job and ignoring all kinds of other opportunities.
The same applies if you’re trying to make more money. You may be bent on making money a certain way - in the process you’re ignoring the other opportunities that are being presented - often dismissing them. I had a student who wanted to make more money. He thought the only way that he could make more money was by expanding his business. He did that - but didn’t make as much as he thought. Once he started working with the Creating Power System he started paying attention to the other opportunities. He ran into an old friend while he was car hunting and to cut a long story short – they decided to partner in some real estate ventures - and things took off. He still has his business - but the additional money he wanted to make - money that he thought he could only make from his business - came from a completely different source.
This only happened because he paid attention to the signs along the road. He was presented with a number of other opportunities before partnering with his friend – but they didn’t seem right to him. Eventually he made the right choice because he was calm, and believed that he would get the right opportunity at the right time. That’s the other ingredient needed. You have to be patient and trust that you will get what you need and want at the right time - but remember - you have to put that ego aside and go with what is best.
My friend Ivan, who owns the hotel chains, examined a number of business opportunities before buying his first hotel - including buying a 50-percent stake in a used car lot. The used car dealership is still successful - but it pales in comparison to where he is now. About the used car dealership he said: “At the time - it just didn’t feel right. I went through the books, knew it would be successful - but I just didn’t see myself doing that.” You have to go with what fits for you - just because it’s a good opportunity - doesn’t mean its right for you. Ivan passed on that deal and 2 months later he bought his first hotel. That was in 1993. But he was willing to wait for what he thought felt right.
What You Can Do To Attract Wealth
There are a number of things you can do to attract wealth, no matter what your situation. You simply have to get your mind to work for you and not against you. Here’s a little exercise you can do. Get a notepad and a pen. Now start thinking about making money or improving your finances. Write down all the thoughts that come to mind when you think about improving your finances or creating wealth. Be honest - only you will see this list. Keep going until you feel you’ve had enough. Keep adding to that list over the course of the day. Then when you feel you’ve got enough - take a look at what you wrote. Underline the thoughts that are positive and circle the thoughts that are negative. How many are negative? Any negative thought you have about money or improving your finances is tied to a belief that you have about money and only works against you. If you think it’s difficult to make more money - you’ll only have difficulties when it comes to making money. Why? Because your subconscious mind is only going to create your reality based on your beliefs. It doesn’t care if these beliefs are good or bad for you. It simply acts on your instructions - and those instructions are your thoughts and beliefs. So change your thoughts and you change your beliefs. Change your beliefs and you change your life.

The Unspoken Secret to Achieving Big Goals
by Joe Vitale
Years ago I attended networking meetings. These were usually breakfast or lunch business meetings where people exchanged business cards and tried to help each other get new clients.
I spoke at many of these events. What I quickly noticed is that the same people seemed to be at the same meetings. One observant friend said, “It’s the same people — and they’re all starving!”
— That’s when I first learned about the concept of levels. That is, people tend to stay on the same level of business or social status. When they meet friends, it’s usually in their circle of activity, whether church, work, school, or some club. As a result, they rarely get out of the level they are on.
That’s not bad. You can stay on the level you are at and do well. But if you want more, or if you find yourself starving on the level you’re at, you’ll need to go up a level or two. When I was speaking at these networking events, I was a notch above everyone in the room. This is not an ego thing. It’s a social perception. I was seen as being at a slightly higher level than the audience simply by nature of being the speaker. I was the authority figure. As the higher teacher, I was elevated a slight degree on their level.
But that’s not good enough. If you want to achieve big dreams in business, you need to step out of your circle or network of peers and associates. You need to go to a group with wider, stronger, richer connections. You need to go up a level.
How do you do that? In my case, my books brought me to the attention of other circles of people, and higher levels of networks.
For example, when I wrote for the American Marketing Association back in 1995, I was immediately put in a new level. I was now the author of an important book for a prestigious organization. This caused new people to contact me. Each of these people had their own network of people. More often than not, these networks were at a higher level than anything I had ever touched before.
If you want to succeed in phenomenal ways today, you need to go up a level or two on the status scale of networks. The good news is email makes this a snap to begin. Anyone alive can be reached through email with some persistence and cleverness.
People write me all the time for favors. I’m now perceived as an expert, an authority, and an Internet marketing pioneer. They want to associate their name or product with me. I love to help people, so I usually at least give people a chance. But I never endorse anything without seeing, using and loving what they have. This is important for me to maintain my level.
Keep in mind that going up a level is different than thinking out of the box. You can be creative and still stay on your current level. Brainstorming with your neighbor is most likely different than brainstorming with, say, ABC, the flamboyant owner of a company.
The point is this: To achieve goals you’ve never achieved before, you may need to rise in levels and participate with new people on a new playing field. So the lesson today is to consider your current level, consider your goals, and consider what people outside of your network can help you achieve them. You may have to step out of your level (and comfort zone) to do it, but the step is well worth taking.
It would take an entire book to fully explain the concept of levels. I don’t have that space here. But before I end this short article, let me offer a handful of tips for going to a new level:
1. Write something of value new levels will admire. This doesn’t have to be a book. This very article may introduce me to new levels. One of the main reasons my name is known to a vast majority of people online is due to the hundreds of articles I’ve written and distributed over the last ten years. You can write articles, too.
2. Apply for membership in a prestigious organization. When I joined the Society for American Magicians, a very old club for professional magicians, I elevated my position among magicians. Joining the right country club or business group can do the same thing.
3. Create or join a master mind group. Napoleon Hill strongly urged people to form master minds. The trick to making them work is to be among people who are already successful in the areas you want to succeed in. Their presence will help elevate you.
4. Write to people in higher networks. When I was first starting out as a writer, people way above me helped me. I simply wrote to them. They sensed my sincerity and offered guidance. Today I do the same for others.
5. Speak at associations or gatherings of people in higher levels. You’ll need to have something unique to offer, but if you can deliver what these levels want, you’ll be welcomed into their fold.
Again, there is nothing wrong with the level you’re on. You don’t want to forget your friends or burn your bridges. I’m simply suggesting that if you have giant goals and big dreams, it may be time to take the elevator up a floor or two.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(14)
The Law of Cause and Effect
by Tom Payne
The most profound of all the Universal Laws is the Law of Cause and Effect. We all know it, or know of it, but may have discarded the principle as Biblical or old fashioned. But yet it dramatically affects our every waking-moment!
The Law of Cause and Effect states that; ’for every current effect in your life, there has been a specific cause. Every thought and every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. What we sow is what we reap.’
The Law of Cause and Effect is an absolute, ironclad law of the universe. Everything happens for a reason, through and by immutable law; whether we know, understand or even accept the law. There are no accidents, no good luck and no bad luck. We live in a universe governed by rigid, uncompromising laws. You can’t change it this law, cheat it or deceive it. It will operate regardless of your attitude to it. Comply by the law and you’ll find success and happiness; defy or ignore it and you won’t! It’s that profound, and yet that simple.
Jesus, the Buddha, Mohamed, and all the other great philosophers taught the law. It’s throughout the Bible, it’s taught in the Bhagavad-Gita and the ancient scriptures every culture. The law applies in all three areas of your life; your physical world, your mental world and your spiritual world.
For every action there is an appropriate re-action! If you slap your hand against a table, the table reacts with a slap against your hand. If you plant wheat, the ground responds by giving you wheat back, but if you plant weeds you also get more weeds in return. In a similar way, if you abuse or misuse another human-being, if you steal and cheat your way through life, if you ignore the starving millions, the law of Cause and Effect guarantees a reaction sometime in this life or the next. Someone will abuse or misuse you, or steal from you, or you’ll go hungry.
The law demonstrates itself in your life every day, whether you realize it or not. What you put out comes back to you, and it doesn’t just come back in the same volume. What you put out comes back to you multiplied; good or bad! Plant a handful of corn seeds, and you’ll gather a truckload of corn. Even a thistle has over a million seeds in its flowering head, ready to multiply and grow. Your life is the same.
There are specific causes for success. There are specific causes for failure. There are specific causes for health. There are specific causes for illness. There are specific causes for happiness. There are specific causes for unhappiness.
To understand how the Law of Cause and Effect has affected your life, thus far, you need to honestly analyze and recognize what from the past has created your present situation. Having done that, if you want more of the effect you must increase the cause. If you want to change the effect, then you must change the cause. Whatever you’re reaping today, agreeable or otherwise, is the direct and irrefutable result of what you sowed yesterday, or sometime in the past.
And the good news is that you have complete control over your future, because what you sow today, you will reap in the future. If you wish to reap a specific harvest or result in any area of your life in the future, you must plant the appropriate seeds today. Your thoughts and actions are the cause, and your life’s circumstances are the effect. What you think today literally creates your reality tomorrow; no ifs, no buts, no exceptions.
“As you think, so you become” is as true today as it was in ancient times. The universal law of Cause and Effect will not, and cannot be deviated from. It rigorously operates whether you accept it or not. Everything in your life is the direct result of the way you think. If you change the quality of your thinking the quality of your life will change as surely as night follows day. Changes in your outer experience will directly follow changes in your inner experience. That’s the law!
The only way you can prove the principle to be accurate is by personal application. By changing your internal processes, changes in your outer conditions can, and do happen surprisingly quickly. There’s nothing in your life, no health problem, no relationship problem and no financial problem that you can’t permanently change with the application of this law!
Sow a thought and reap an act. Sow an act and reap a habit. Sow a habit and reap a character. Sow a character and reap a destiny! Even something that you neglect, avoid, or procrastinate doing has an effect. Doing nothing is a cause in itself that has an effect; the consequences of which are inescapable.
It’s not the theory of cause and effect, it the Law of Cause and Effect. By understanding it and applying it you can immediately change your life for the better.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(13)
Manifesting Success With Consciousness
by Remez Sasson
For a long time you have longed to own a big, shiny, beautiful red car. Now it is parked in front of your house. It has a lot of space inside, it is comfortable, and it has many gadgets. You immensely enjoy and love driving it. Do you notice the special smell that is inside it, which is unique to new cars? Do you feel the joy that rises in you, while watching the admiring faces of your friends and neighbors?
How do you feel now, after reading the above description? Pay attention to this feeling. For a few seconds you probably felt great, then your mind started to react, and said,
"Yes, I like the thought, but these things never happen in real life. It is just a daydream". Now all the magic is gone. Your mind spoiled the magic feeling and the dream. You can let your daydreams and fantasies go on without destroying them. Do not comment negatively about them or throw them away as useless and groundless. When ending a daydream, move away to other thoughts, without criticism or comments. Must you say some negative words about your daydreams and show your disbelief in their being realized? Go on with your life as it is, but when you daydream or fantasize, do not destroy the dream by denying it the possibility of materializing.
Do not worry that believing in your dreams will turn you into an unpractical, dreamy sort of person. Let them motivate and inspire you, and you will become a more practical and successful person.
How did you feel when you received the key to your new apartment or the key to your new car? How did you feel when you were at the airport, going on your long coveted vacation? What kind of feeling did you experience when you got a promotion at your job or when you succeeded in a project? How did you feel when you recuperated from an illness? Try to recapture the feelings and relive the happy moments, because there is great power in them.
The feelings that accompany success are very important. Remember and relive the feelings that accompanied your past successes, because they are the magic of the future. If evoked intentionally and consciously, they can cause the materialization of your dreams.
Rehearsing in your mind the feelings and emotions that accompany success, move invisible forces to create visible success in your life. These happy and success feelings generate pressure on the mental and astral worlds, causing them to bring the feelings into manifestation. Any thought associated with these feelings is moved into materialization.
Whenever we experience success, we enjoy a great exhilarating feeling. By capturing and reliving this feeling you can turn it into the seed of a new success. If you think about something that you really want to realize, and at the same time you consciously generate this feeling of success in your consciousness, and stay with it, you can achieve wonders. This is the magic wand with which you can do magic and wonders.
The Right Attitude Toward Success
If you examine your ambitions, desires and goals in a very sincere way, you may discover to your amazement that you have some fears of realizing them. You want something, but yet you are afraid to have it. You may wish for a different kind of life, but in your subconscious mind you fear the change. You may desire to get married, but you are afraid of marriage. You want to change your job, but you are afraid to make the change. This is because the familiar gives security. You can find many examples like these.
When you have a goal, and at the same time you experience doubts and fears, you are actually driving away the materialization of your dreams. It is like sailing against the wind and the currents; you are pushed back all the time. These fears hide at the back of the mind and you may not be conscious of them. Analyzing any desire you have, and trying to find out if there is any resistance to bringing it about, will bring the fears into the open, and enable you to throw away your fears and inner brakes.
Most people look at the world around them as something real and solid. Their minds are chained to what they see around; their thoughts reflect their life, circumstances and events. Rarely will someone disregard his surroundings and circumstances and create in his mind a different situation. Surroundings and environment influence people’s life, and they regard them as something they can do nothing about. When you become able to see in your mind a different kind of life, you stop being enslaved by circumstances and start creating your own life.
Nobody becomes impractical, indifferent or weak, if he holds in his mind thoughts and images that are different and unrelated to his present life situation. It is possible to handle the affairs of life in the best way, and at the same time visualize and expect a different kind of reality. Use your imagination to see and feel in your mind a different situation or environment, and watch what happens.
If you go on thinking the same thought it will materialize, if your mind is not opposing and resisting it with negative thoughts, fears, worries and doubts. Sometimes the materialization of your thought or desire may be delayed due to the fact that you are not yet ready for it. Maybe you need some more knowledge, training, or a new skill before you get what you want. Sometimes things happen suddenly in an unusual way, but most often they come in a natural, gradual manner.
Consciousness and Success
Your mind and consciousness are the creators of your life. The more conscious you are of yourself, the stronger you become. I do not mean being conscious of your body, ego or who you are as a person. I mean conscious of being conscious, of the feeling of existence, the feeling of being alive, not from the point of view of the physical body. It is the inner feeling and sensation that you exist as a spiritual entity. It is the awareness of your inner essence, as something beyond the body and the ego.
Consciousness is your essence. Without it you are not. It gives your personality and body the power to function. Because of it, you can walk, eat, work, study, talk and understand. It is this something that makes you feel alive. It is intangible, yet very real. It is your awareness of life, of being alive and existing.
When you focus your consciousness on success, and fill it with the feeling of success, things start happening. When the certainty of success is saturated into the consciousness, you have a great power in your hands. Success consciousness means that you are certain of your success without doubts.
Do you want a new job? Evoke feelings of certainty without doubts that you have already got it. Do you desire a wife, a husband, a vacation, promotion, a new car, or money? Do not entertain any doubts. Your consciousness should be focused and assured of success.
How can you attain success if your consciousness is focused on failure and doubts? Become aware of your consciousness, of the feeling that you are, focus on it, and at the same time think of success and you have a mighty power at your disposal.
Instructions on the Use of Feelings and Consciousness for Success
Whatever it is that you desire to bring about, try to feel as if it has already happened. Re-live the happiness you experienced when you realized ambitions in the past, and transfer this happiness and the feeling of achievement into the present moment, and your success is assured. Feelings are very important for success. They are the current of power that brings success. They have to be living, strong, real and sincere feelings, in order to bring results. Feelings add fire and energy to a thought and make it strong. They are like the electric current, which makes instruments work.
Success consciousness is a state of inner certainty, even if your current reality is far from what you want it to be. It does not cost you money to experience it. Do not let doubts and contrary thoughts and feelings enter your mind, and you are on the way to success in what you do.
Evoke the certain feeling of success. Pour fuel into this feeling, and always keep it alive. Only by trying you will understand what I really mean. It is a state of consciousness, intentionally invoked, even though the outer circumstances are to the contrary.
Consciousness has the power to create. What is in the consciousness comes out in the end. There is nothing supernatural here, this is the way nature works. It may take some time until Consciousness manifests your ambition and desire in the outer world. It should be saturated with the utter certainty of success, not with just a faint belief. There should be complete lack of doubts, and only great certainty. Under these circumstances magic is released into the air.
You may look at this process as if it is a game. Put aside your doubts for a while. Treat these inner actions in a spirit of a game, fun and challenge. This is a serious subject, but by having fun with it, you reduce your tension, and are enabled to put forth more energy in a positive manner. Enjoy this process, and you will be surprised at the outcome. It is quite possible to put the focus on feelings and not only on thoughts. Feelings, if strong enough, cause things to happen, even if the related thought is only in the background.
If the feelings and emotions are strong, and connected to an event or an object, this event or object becomes a fact. Those who have difficulty in visualizing pictures will certainly appreciate this approach.
Think about your life, and you will find out that there were times that you had a certainty about something, without really trying intentionally to bring it about, and that thing happened. It might have been something positive and good or something else that was to your detriment. If you accept and follow what you have read here, you will be able to use this ability consciously.
What you have read so far is actually about the power of creative visualization and thinking, but focusing more on feelings and consciousness, rather than on images and thoughts. Think about what you have read, and try to put it into practice. Let abundance and success enter your life.

Try to recapture the feelings and relive the happy moments, because there is great power in them.
The feelings that accompany success are very important. Remember and relive the feelings that accompanied your past successes, because they are the magic of the future. If evoked intentionally and consciously, they can cause the materialization of your dreams.
Rehearsing in your mind the feelings and emotions that accompany success, move invisible forces to create visible success in your life. These happy and success feelings generate pressure on the mental and astral worlds, causing them to bring the feelings into manifestation. Any thought associated with these feelings is moved into materialization.
Whenever we experience success, we enjoy a great exhilarating feeling. By capturing and reliving this feeling you can turn it into the seed of a new success. If you think about something that you really want to realize, and at the same time you consciously generate this feeling of success in your consciousness, and stay with it, you can achieve wonders. This is the magic wand with which you can do magic and wonders.
The Right Attitude Toward Success
If you examine your ambitions, desires and goals in a very sincere way, you may discover to your amazement that you have some fears of realizing them. You want something, but yet you are afraid to have it. You may wish for a different kind of life, but in your subconscious mind you fear the change. You may desire to get married, but you are afraid of marriage. You want to change your job, but you are afraid to make the change. This is because the familiar gives security. You can find many examples like these.
When you have a goal, and at the same time you experience doubts and fears, you are actually driving away the materialization of your dreams. It is like sailing against the wind and the currents; you are pushed back all the time. These fears hide at the back of the mind and you may not be conscious of them. Analyzing any desire you have, and trying to find out if there is any resistance to bringing it about, will bring the fears into the open, and enable you to throw away your fears and inner brakes.
Most people look at the world around them as something real and solid. Their minds are chained to what they see around; their thoughts reflect their life, circumstances and events. Rarely will someone disregard his surroundings and circumstances and create in his mind a different situation. Surroundings and environment influence people’s life, and they regard them as something they can do nothing about. When you become able to see in your mind a different kind of life, you stop being enslaved by circumstances and start creating your own life.
Nobody becomes impractical, indifferent or weak, if he holds in his mind thoughts and images that are different and unrelated to his present life situation. It is possible to handle the affairs of life in the best way, and at the same time visualize and expect a different kind of reality. Use your imagination to see and feel in your mind a different situation or environment, and watch what happens.
If you go on thinking the same thought it will materialize, if your mind is not opposing and resisting it with negative thoughts, fears, worries and doubts. Sometimes the materialization of your thought or desire may be delayed due to the fact that you are not yet ready for it. Maybe you need some more knowledge, training, or a new skill before you get what you want. Sometimes things happen suddenly in an unusual way, but most often they come in a natural, gradual manner.
Consciousness and Success
Your mind and consciousness are the creators of your life. The more conscious you are of yourself, the stronger you become. I do not mean being conscious of your body, ego or who you are as a person. I mean conscious of being conscious, of the feeling of existence, the feeling of being alive, not from the point of view of the physical body. It is the inner feeling and sensation that you exist as a spiritual entity. It is the awareness of your inner essence, as something beyond the body and the ego.
Consciousness is your essence. Without it you are not. It gives your personality and body the power to function. Because of it, you can walk, eat, work, study, talk and understand. It is this something that makes you feel alive. It is intangible, yet very real. It is your awareness of life, of being alive and existing.
When you focus your consciousness on success, and fill it with the feeling of success, things start happening. When the certainty of success is saturated into the consciousness, you have a great power in your hands. Success consciousness means that you are certain of your success without doubts.
Do you want a new job? Evoke feelings of certainty without doubts that you have already got it. Do you desire a wife, a husband, a vacation, promotion, a new car, or money? Do not entertain any doubts. Your consciousness should be focused and assured of success.
How can you attain success if your consciousness is focused on failure and doubts? Become aware of your consciousness, of the feeling that you are, focus on it, and at the same time think of success and you have a mighty power at your disposal.
Instructions on the Use of Feelings and Consciousness for Success
Whatever it is that you desire to bring about, try to feel as if it has already happened. Re-live the happiness you experienced when you realized ambitions in the past, and transfer this happiness and the feeling of achievement into the present moment, and your success is assured. Feelings are very important for success. They are the current of power that brings success. They have to be living, strong, real and sincere feelings, in order to bring results. Feelings add fire and energy to a thought and make it strong. They are like the electric current, which makes instruments work.
Success consciousness is a state of inner certainty, even if your current reality is far from what you want it to be. It does not cost you money to experience it. Do not let doubts and contrary thoughts and feelings enter your mind, and you are on the way to success in what you do.
Evoke the certain feeling of success. Pour fuel into this feeling, and always keep it alive. Only by trying you will understand what I really mean. It is a state of consciousness, intentionally invoked, even though the outer circumstances are to the contrary.
Consciousness has the power to create. What is in the consciousness comes out in the end. There is nothing supernatural here, this is the way nature works. It may take some time until Consciousness manifests your ambition and desire in the outer world. It should be saturated with the utter certainty of success, not with just a faint belief. There should be complete lack of doubts, and only great certainty. Under these circumstances magic is released into the air.
You may look at this process as if it is a game. Put aside your doubts for a while. Treat these inner actions in a spirit of a game, fun and challenge. This is a serious subject, but by having fun with it, you reduce your tension, and are enabled to put forth more energy in a positive manner. Enjoy this process, and you will be surprised at the outcome. It is quite possible to put the focus on feelings and not only on thoughts. Feelings, if strong enough, cause things to happen, even if the related thought is only in the background.
If the feelings and emotions are strong, and connected to an event or an object, this event or object becomes a fact. Those who have difficulty in visualizing pictures will certainly appreciate this approach.
Think about your life, and you will find out that there were times that you had a certainty about something, without really trying intentionally to bring it about, and that thing happened. It might have been something positive and good or something else that was to your detriment. If you accept and follow what you have read here, you will be able to use this ability consciously.
What you have read so far is actually about the power of creative visualization and thinking, but focusing more on feelings and consciousness, rather than on images and thoughts. Think about what you have read, and try to put it into practice. Let abundance and success enter your life.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(12)
Acting in A Certain Way
by Wallace D. Wattles
Thought is the creative power or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act.
Thinking in a certain way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific thinkers meet shipwreck — the failure to connect thought with personal action.
We have not yet reached the stage of development, even supposing such a stage to be possible, in which a person can create directly from formless substance without nature’s processes or the work of human hands. A person must not only think, but his personal action must supplement his thought.
Your thought makes all things, animate and inanimate, work to bring you what you want, but your personal activity must be such that you can rightly receive what you want when it reaches you. You are not to take it as charity, nor to steal it. You must give every man more in use value than he gives you in cash value.
The scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want, in holding fast to your purpose to get what you want, and in realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you want.
Do not try to “project” your thought in any mysterious or occult way, with the idea of having it go out and do things for you. That is wasted effort and will weaken your power to think with sanity.
Your faith and purpose positively impress your vision upon formless substance, which has the same desire for more life that you have, and this vision, received from you, sets all the creative forces at work in and through their regular channels of action, but directed toward you.
It is not your part to guide or supervise the creative process. All you have to do with that is to retain your vision, stick to your purpose, and maintain your faith and gratitude. But you must act in a certain way, so that you can appropriate what is yours when it comes to you and so that you can meet the things you have in your picture and put them in their proper places as they arrive.
You can really see the truth of this. When things reach you, they will be in the hands of others, who will ask an equivalent for them. And you can only get what is yours by giving the other person what is rightfully his.
Your pocketbook is not going to be transformed into a Fortunata’s purse, which shall be always full of money without effort on your part.
This is the crucial point in the science of getting rich — right here, where thought and personal action must be combined. There are very many people who, consciously or unconsciously, set the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires, but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes.
By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it. Whatever your action is to be, it is evident that you must act NOW. You cannot act in the past, and it is essential to the clearness of your mental vision that you dismiss the past from your mind. You cannot act in the future, for the future is not here yet. And you cannot tell how you will want to act in any future contingency until that contingency has arrived.
Because you are not in the right business or the right environment now, do not think that you must postpone action until you get into the right business or environment. And do not spend time in the present taking thought as to the best course in possible future emergencies; have faith in your ability to meet any emergency when it arrives.
If you act in the present with your mind on the future, your present action will be with a divided mind, and will not be effective. Put your whole mind into present action.
Do not give your creative impulse to original substance, and then sit down and wait for results. If you do, you will never get them. Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now. If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin NOW. And your action, whatever it is, must most likely be in your present business or employment, and must be upon the persons and things in your present environment.
You cannot act where you are not, you cannot act where you have been, and you cannot act where you are going to be. You can act only where you are.
Do not bother as to whether yesterday’s work was well done or ill done; do today’s work well. Do not try to do tomorrow’s work now; there will be plenty of time to do that when you get to it. Do not try, by occult or mystical means, to act on people or things that are out of your reach. Do not wait for a change of environment, before you act; get a change of environment by action.
You can so act upon the environment in which you are now, as to cause yourself to be transferred to a better environment.
Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.
Do not spend any time in day dreaming or castle building; hold to the one vision of what you want, and act NOW.
Do not cast about, seeking some new thing to do or some strange, unusual, or remarkable action to perform as a first step toward getting rich. It is probable that your actions, at least for some time to come, will be the same ones you have been performing for some time past, but you are to begin now to perform these actions in the certain way, which will surely make you rich.
If you are engaged in some business, and feel that it is not the right one for you, do not wait until you get into the right business before you begin to act.
Hold the vision of yourself in the right business, with the purpose to get into it and the faith that you will get into it and are getting into it, but ACT in your present business. Use your present business as the means of getting a better one, and use your present environment as the means of getting into a better one. Your vision of the right business, if held with faith and purpose, will cause the supreme power to move the right business towards you. And your action, if performed in the certain way, will cause you to move towards the business.
If you are an employee or wage earner and feel that you must change places in order to get what you want, do not “project” your thought into space and rely upon it to get you another job. It will probably fail to do so.
Hold the vision of yourself in the job you want while you ACT with faith and purpose on the job you have, and you will certainly get the job you want. Your vision and faith will set the creative force in motion to bring it toward you, and your action will cause the forces in your own environment to move you toward the place you want.

The 8 Myths About Creating Wealth
by Nikola Grubisa
You have probably read or heard about various myths surrounding wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest for financial independence. Here are the most common and most destructive:
Myth No. 1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work
If this were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this isn’t true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle-class.
If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day’s work in your youth, you probably learned that money wasn’t a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who work “just” for the money often have debts because they comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things they lack when working.
Myth No. 2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn’t work and you shouldn’t ask for money for doing something that is enjoyable.
Check this with millionaires. They all have so much money that they don’t need to work anymore. Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge, satisfaction, fullness of life, activity, fun... and all are connected to a love for their work. If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do something else that would make them much happier and that enables them to realize their dreams.
In fact, if you don’t enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it! However, just because you enjoy your work doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get paid for it - in fact, that is the ultimate goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so it never feels like you are at work!
Myth No. 3: You need to be in the right line of business to amass wealth
Do you think so? This must mean that all the people who are involved in the same business are millionaires. Of course, this isn’t true. In each business there are winners and losers; winners abound, even in businesses that consist of distasteful (to most) or “impossible” work like sweeping the streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory, pumping gas, selling newspapers, etc. On the other hand, there are just as many “losers” in businesses like selling real estate, management or being a stockbroker.
Myth No. 4: You need the right education to make a fortune
Are the most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all! In this case, university professors would be the wealthiest people on earth. Ask them about their salaries, if you get the opportunity. The truth is vastly different - the wealthiest people are those who can convert their knowledge (or education) into money, in the best possible way.
They can be highly educated people (like inventors, scientists, etc.) or almost ignorant.
Being formally uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job or the inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a person to success - they can easily be experts without having a formal education.
Myth No. 5: It used to be easier
Statistics show an increase in the number of millionaires in the world every year. Talking about the “good old times” only offers comfort and a convenient excuse. If you look around, you’ll see there are people who behaved the same way in the “good old times” as they do now, yet their success has been recent. With technology and progress come new ideas, desires and needs and there are more business opportunities appearing daily to serve them.
Myth No. 6: I’m too old (young)
If you research the life stories of some of the most successful people, you’ll see that this isn’t true at all. Some became wealthy early in their lives (perhaps from the stock market), while others found their fortune in their old age. Ray Kroc, was more than fifty years old when he bought and made the first McDonald’s.
Myth No. 7: I don’t have enough money to start. You have to spend money to make money.
This is no different from any other excuse or “myth.” Like the others, it’s obvious this one isn’t true either. Many have made their fortunes starting from scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their garage and yet they developed business empires that are worth billions of dollars today. The other elements of success are far more important than having seed money to start a business. Yes, often money helps and it certainly doesn’t hurt. Like everything else discussed in other myths: it probably helps, but it is not always necessary.
Myth No. 8: I’ll begin when I know everything
Do you believe that you will know everything someday? Or even that you’ll know enough to ever be “really prepared now?” The more you learn, the more you see what you still need to learn. Success and obtaining wealth is a dynamic process. Even if you “could” come out of the gate knowing everything there is to know, some of those elements will change immediately and many will change rapidly. If you don’t decide now, nothing will happen. Live and learn.
Some millionaires have even allowed themselves to go bankrupt and then (even faster) recreated their wealth, sometimes even greater than before. Money itself isn’t the obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy.
Exercise “taking action” as much as you can. Make your workplace better or more efficient. After all, even if someone else signs your paycheck, you really work for you. Even if you are an employee in a large corporation - it isn’t your corporation - but it is the only corporation through which you can prove what you are capable of right now.
All of us have what it takes to become a millionaire! Born winners, yet few of us know how to take advantage of and cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our own mind! No one can ever grant you greater potential than your heart already holds…you need only discover its contents to find the one true path to your success in life. Born with the seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always come from the inside! You will discover a new, deep well of fortune – yourself!
