What’s happening in the world today? Our (U.S.) government is going into the private sector to bail out (and become primary equity shareholders of) a major insurance company and now we’re looking at allowing the banking system a “free pass” while our friends are losing their homes.
Our President and presidential candidates are screaming recession bordering on a depression and the mainstream media at large? Well, don’t even get me started on that one…
Yesterday, I thought about calling the White House to see if I could get an appointment with “Dubya” to do some work on the Law of Attraction! What is he thinking?
Something is seriously wrong here…and I don’t think is started with us (the general citizens). However, if we continue to allow ourselves to be fed information by a fear-generating machine, we can only create more of the same. Such is the nature of the Law of Attraction. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m certainly not saying that there are not REAL factors occurring in the world now that are contributing to this big financial mess we seem to be in, however, instead of focusing on the problem, what if we focused on the solution.
The Law of Attraction clearly says that whatever we choose to focus our attention upon grows. We know it’s true. Therefore, by focusing on a problem, we create…what? You got it, more problems, bigger problems. By focusing on the fear, we create more fear.
Today, as I traveled through my day, I couldn’t help but notice the “walking zombie” look that so many people had. Our society is rapidly becoming shell-shocked by this constant barrage of bad news. I started to really tune into the energy of these people who had seemingly lost the core of their humanity and I could feel that they are scared…fear was the dominate emotion in their lives right now. I wonder how it might be different if our government and the media began talking about plans for recovery, rather than our inevitable economic crash. What do you think?
I recently listened again, for about the 27th time, to the Nightingale-Conant audio program called “The Science of Personal Achievement” which largely features Napoleon Hill, the author if the classic bible on personal development called Think and Grow Rich. In the program, Dr. Hill tells the story of the MasterMind group he was involved with around the time of the Great Depression when he and many of the key figures in government, industrialists and newspaper owners banded together for the single-minded purpose of restoring America’s faith. The two houses of Congress rallied behind President Roosevelt; the key newspapers agreed to run only the most positive economic news and corporations nationwide jumped on the bandwagon to support the President and the government in creating solutions to the worst economic catastrophe in American history…
…but if you listen to our media and government, it’s no wonder that people are beginning to wonder if in fact we are about to live through the worst economic catastrophe in history.
I have a proposal…and please chime in on this to let me know your thoughts:
1. We all choose to focus on the positive — always — and do everything in our power to repel the fear and negativity as it arises;
2. We take the time to learn what’s REALLY going on in the world that creates the constant ebbs and flows in economic and social conditions…we might actually find in our research that there are specific parties pulling the puppets strings, and perhaps this has been going on for centuries;
3. We allow our voices to be heard through Social Media, blogging and connecting to like-minded individuals;
4. We let our government know that THEY WORK FOR US, not the other way around!
YOU HAVE THE POWER! Use it…shout out…speak your passion…let your opinion be heard. It is our silence and apathy as citizens of this country and of the world that has allowed the “powers that be” to run rampant…
But they can’t stop us…they can’t stop the internet…they cannot touch that spark of freedom, individuality and passion that runs deep in each of us. So, what do you say? Let’s be heard together!
My friend David Childerley has just posted a video helps to gain some clarity on these issues, while providing both Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and his new strategy called The Balance Technique to release any fear or anxiety about all these perceived craziness. His commentary on the world his brilliant — but brace yourself if this is new information for you, because you might find it a bit shocking…
…But the tools he provides are very effective.
I would like to encourage you to do something…RIGHT NOW…contribute in whatever way you feel to a SOLUTION and encourage everyone around you…everyone you know to do the same. Together we can stand against fear, economic crisis, controlled media and an oppressive government that has lost touch with its people.
And take a look at Dave’s video…I can virtually guarantee you some relief in the next 30 minutes.
Thanks for your patience through my rant and please…LET ME HEAR FROM YOU!
One of the most widely accepted methods for quick release of emotionally-based issues (which can and do move into physically-based issues) is Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT.
I am a strong proponent of EFT and use it regularly with my coaching clients. Many of my clients have discussed with me how they feel out of balance at times (perfectly normal) and particularly so when they get behind in basic tasks of “uncluttering” of their lives. Whether that is the clutter created by not attending to the bills, the mail, the dishes in the kitchen, or by not attending to the “clutter and chaos” that sometimes takes over our mental state, clutter can slow down the process of creating the like you really want.
In my work with the Law of Attraction, one of the patterns I’ve noticed in people is that their attraction effectiveness has a direct correlation with their focus and attention.
Recently, I have written on the concept of “everything is energy and nothing is neutral.“ If you are surrounding yourself with clutter, not only does your energy get scattered, but also your attention is constantly drifting toward that clutter, or thoughts that you should be doing something about it. So, clutter is quite distracting your focus and likely weakening you in the process.
The clutter in your life could be unfinished business that keep your thoughts distracted or a conversation you want to have that you have avoided, or just a stack of empty boxes in your garage. This past weekend, that stack of empty boxes inspired me to think about the clutter in my own life. So, I cleared them out. Funny thing…it only took about an hour to clear the space and sweep my garage but the result was an amazing shift in the energy of the space and my energy. Remember, everything is energy and NOTHING is neutral.
Then yesterday, less than 24 hours after clearing out the garage, I got Gary Craig’s (the creator of EFT) weekly newsletter and noticed an article on clearing out clutter and chaos in your life. My favorite part of the Law of Attraction system that I’ve developed is Step 6, called “Pay Attention and Follow the Trail.” I always find that when I’m “onto something” I get constant reminders and reinforcement of the message. That article was another reminder…and something tells me that I need to share it with my readers here, because you may find benefit from it as well.
Let me know what you think…how is clutter affecting your life?

I am pleased to say that my first official foray into the personal development world, at least on a conscious, chosen level, was when I read Napoleon Hill’s classic bible on success: Think and Grow Rich.
I have spent countless hours over the past three decades since then absorbing everything I can to expand my own horizons but rarely have encountered anything with the awesome raw power and message of success than Dr. Hill’s work.
Recently, I came across a video piece of Dr. Hill discussing his initial conversations with Andrew Carnegie, the insightful steel magnate (and the world’s first billionaire) who put the young Hill to task in studying the most successful men of the day and determine their common threads for creating that success. The resulting work changed the lives of millions of people around the world.
One of my favorite variations on Think and Grow Rich was the Nightingale Contant recordings called The Science of Personal Achievement. I was particularly moved by this because it includes so much of the original recordings done by Dr. Hill himself. This may not seem like much to us today but it is important to note that Hill first published Think and Grow Rich in 1937. The recordings from The Science of Personal Achievement were from old radio interviews, recordings made on 78 speed records and were really the first serious work in audio recordings. It was cutting-edge stuff at the time…the information still is and now, the piece is (finally) available on CD. I had two different cassette version of the piece; one for me and one that I always circulated through my network, and always passed along from one person to another with a letter telling the next one in line how the work had affected his or her life.
I tell this story today to share with you that some concepts are universal and remain true throughout the generations. Think and Grow Rich and it’s related material is just such a work. If you haven’t read it (or listened to it if that’s your preferred medium), I strongly encourage you to do so.
For now, have a quick taste of Dr. Hill himself laying the foundation for what is a very similar idea to what I now teach in my Law of Attraction programs.
I’ve been talking about making your own movies to assist with the visualization process for a long time now. I even include some training on how to do it in my Law of Attraction ACTION PACK multimedia home study program. I call them MasterMind Movies and they’re a great way to personalize your own visualization process for attracting your Ultimate Dream Life.
Some friends “down unda” have taken this concept to a whole new level. Ryan and the gang down at Mind Movies have just released a new series that really gets into the details about how to make the most effective movies possible.
Just follow this link to learn more about the program. There is a special launch happening for the next 8 days and you get some outrageous bonuses in the process, over $2300 worth if I have my numbers straight, including a special one from me.
I’m doing a new custom movie right now but here’s one that I included in my Law of Attraction ACTION PACK that you may find helpful. I also composed special MasterMind Enhancement Music designed to connect you directly to the “source” of the LOA. Enjoy it and check out the Mind Movies program too. It’s really cool!
There is magic in asking the right questions. How you ask those questions of yourself and others has a direct affect on the power and effectiveness in applying the Law of Attraction.
I read a great little book a few months ago…in fact it was called The Great Little Book of Afformations. No, that’s not a typo, it’s spelled with an “o.” It was all about asking the right questions…EMPOWERING questions…all the time.
Wouldn’t it be great to have the power of knowing how to ask the right questions all the time?
Well, you do have that power. You always have the power…at least it’s always a CHOICE you have. But what choices are you making. Do you choose empowering questions or are you beating yourself up with hurtful, demoralizing questions instead?
We are in a constant conversation with ourselves. Seldom does a day go by that we don’t have ten of thousands of thoughts and questions run through our minds. Many people get caught up in asking questions like: “Why does this stuff always happen to me?” or when they make a mistake, find themselves chanting: “What’s WRONG with me?”
Asking empowering questions is a great tool to activate the Law of Attraction and the law of ACTION in your life.
Here’s why: There is actually a chemical/electrical response that takes place when you pose a question. When you ask yourself a question (or someone else asks you a question), your brain responds just like a computer…in fact, it’s more like a search engine, seeking out the answer to the questions and ways of making that answer true for you.
So, when you ask “What’s wrong with me?”, you immediately set yourself up for creating something “wrong” with you because your subconscious mind is now running that internal program through your brain called “Find something wrong” until it in fact does find something wrong with you — to prove to were right…about being wrong! Crazy, isn’t it?
How do you correct your internal question compass to make sure you’re always heading in the right directino with your questions? Start by becoming more aware of the questions you’re already asking yourself. Do you find yourself asking questions “Why can’t I…?” or “What’s wrong with…?” If you do, try reframing your questions. For example, instead of “Why can’t I…?” try using the words “How can I…?”
Try these empowering questions and observe (and act upon) how your mind and the Law of Attraction begin to conspire together to create the answers and opportunities that you really want:
How can I afford it?
What is the best action to take right now?
Who should I be connecting with to move my career forward?
Is there a better option?
How big can this dream REALLY be?
How can I create more revenue for my business?
Who is the best person for this job?
What is my true purpose?
How can I best serve the world?
…these are just examples…try your own versions that apply to your own life.
Asking the right questions has amazing power in your life. Try it today and watch what happens!
The Law of Attraction is working in your life already. Whether you choose to use it consciously or whether you are “driving all over the road” with random thoughts, feelings and actions, the fact remains that the LOA is always at work in your life.
The “law of abstraction” is what the majority of the planet uses…innocently I’m sure…but nonetheless, it is the process of simply going about every minute of every hour of every day without any focused intention, focused thought or focused emotion.
The Law of Attraction responds to you, constantly. If you are consistently using negative language or negative feelings associated with your life, this is what you tend to bring toward you. For instance, if you use language, even in your own mind, that paints a picture of what you DON’T want, you tend to draw more of what you don’t want into your current life. It’s a natural habit that many people have, simply because they have been brought up with that negative programming.
For example, money is a big issue for most people. Virtually everyone wants more of it but at the same time they define that mental picture as “not being broke” or “never having enough and wanting more.” If you have been using this kind of “self-talk” it’s time to shift your focus to the positive. Instead of entertaining thoughts or feelings of “I never seem to have enough money,” instead you could shift that to “I AM always in the flow of money and prosperity” or “Money flows to me easily and effortlessly.”
It is important for you to have a clear picture of what you intend to attract. Avoid using terms like “want” and “need” as this creates an energy of the thing you intend being “away” from you already. In order for you to have a “wanting,” there always has to be something that corresponds with that thought to keep you in a wanting state. Think about it: If you are “wanting,” is it possible to be “having” at the same time?
Keeping your intentions in the present tense is vital as well. Imagine, or visualize, or “feel” your intended outcome in your present, now, in this moment. The Universe knows nothing of time. This was a construct of humans.
Being clear about your intention is important but you can always leave things open to “universal interpretation.” Remember that a “divine design” is always in the works. Your intention might actually be smaller than what is actually possible for you. So, as you create your intentions, consider adding thoughts of “this or something better” to your intended outcomes. That leaves greater possibilities than you have even imagined available to you through this universal process we call the Law of Attraction.
Always remember that if you don’t have what you want already, and you’ve been focusing on that, in a positive way, there may be some internal message blocking you from actually attracting what you intend. Removing the blocks or at least reducing the charge on those blocks is an important element to using the Law of Attraction effectively.
If you have been having challenges in making your true intentions come to you as fast as you want, I would encourage you to take a look at our Seven Days to Success Law of Attraction ACTION PACK multimedia program to assist you in getting clarity, releasing blocks, connecting with the true energy behing the Law of Attraction and more. The system is overflowing with information and tools to immediately put the Law of Attraction into ACTION in your life. It was specifically designed for you to learn a detailed and specific system and provide you with everything you need to break through barriers, turbo-charge your process and create success in all areas of your life using the Law of Attraction. We can even provide you with one-on-one coaching to help you implement that strategies and tools available to you. Many people report that this coaching is what brought true clarity to the process and was the key to success.
Please share some of your LOA stories here and let us know your own insights about what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to attracting the life you really choose.
Above all, have fun and be grateful for what you are attracting and have attracted into your life. It’s all good, if you look at it from the right frame of reference.
Someone contacted me the other day about the free coaching sessions that I offer and responded in a really “interesting” way. I don’t often get these kinds of responses anymore because of how I work with the Law of Attraction but every now and again I get a mild “heckler.” So, the guy writes to me: “You know the only reason you do these free sessions is to get people to buy your coaching!” Maybe he was having a bad day but…
Wow! I had to stop and think long and hard about that one. Why would someone approach me like that? I’m looking at this as a gift that I give to people and he’s challenging my integrity. And course, there was a part of me wanting to say: “Uh, duh! (I mean, of course, there is a marketing strategy involved…)” but that really doesn’t begin to tell the reason why I REALLY do free coaching sessions.
Money is just an exchange of value and energy and I have yet to work with a client who didn’t tell me that I brought WAY more value to them than the money they were paying for my services. So, I decided to really put some thought into how to respond to this gentleman.
Think about this for a minute. When someone offers you a free trial, what is the purpose? It is to prove to you that what you are trying is worth buying in the first place, right?
This happens every day in the marketing world and no one thinks twice about it. You see it in the grocery store when someone offers you a taste of a new food product. If you like it, you buy it. You see it in internet marketing a lot these days with $1 trials and free this and that to lead you to EXPERIENCE what is being offered, thereby being able to make a better buying decision. It helps you to get to know the product, or the service, or in my case, the PERSON. Let’s be realistic, you’re not going to sign up to pay for for coaching services without even knowing the slightest bit about me or just from reading my web page, are you?
So, let’s break this down a bit:
Of course, I don’t provide my coaching services just for the money. There is a lot easier work you can do if you’re just about money. I do coaching and mentoring, first and foremost, because I love it. One of my favorite experiences is that of seeing one of my clients rise to a new level in his or her life, or discover a greatness that they didn’t previously acknowledge, or helping someone make more money and see their lives changes as a result.
Everyone has at least one unique skill set. One of the highest and best uses of my unique skill set in the world is to help people break through barriers, structure their business to bring them freedom, get clear on how to move forward, solve challenges and provide a plethora of different ways someone can create more time, money and personal freedom in the process…just to name a few things that I do in life and business coaching. Virtually everyone I work with believes that brings great value to their lives, whether or not they end up paying for my services in the long run.
For example, check out what one of my clients (an actress) had to say recently:
There are more examples like this on my coaching page, if you want to take a look.
Rarely do I work with a client that hasn’t created a new way to pay for my services and much, much more in the first 90 days. As a business coach, if I don’t bring actual bottom line monetary, dollars and cents (and sense) value to your life, what’s the point of paying me, right?
Going back to how this all lays out from the “you’re only doing this to get people to pay you!” comment made by our skeptical friend earlier in this story…let’s take a look at how “free” looks from my perspective…
In my Platinum Coaching and Mentoring Program, people pay $777 per month, although most people just go ahead and pay $1497 for three months of coaching because it’s like getting a whole month for FREE. That’s about three hours a month, plus a bunch of other perks including recording every single session and maintaining a web page for each of my clients so they can have those recordings and other bonuses available 24/7. Again, it’s all about bringing great service and value. So that basically comes down to my hourly rate falls in the $175-250 range.
So, addressing our skeptical friend’s concerns, these complimentary sessions, that I call Discovery Sessions, are not some scaled-down version of a coaching session where I’m holding back the “good stuff” and offer no real value. It’s the real deal.
Just like any other session, we spend time examining your life and situation, your business, your strategies and where you might make things more effective. We usually spend 45-60 minutes on these calls. That breaks down to about $250 of my time…that I give you, as a gift for FREE.
The design is to determine whether I can provide a greater value to you, to see if we are a good fit in working together for some period of time after the initial session. My intention is to put you in a position that you have powerful new ideas and tools to work with from DAY ONE (Day One – The Free Discovery Session).
I don’t work with everyone, not even with everyone that wants to pay. I believe we have to both be clear that our working together is a good fit. Our personalities need to connect, and my skills and your project, or your business, or yours goals in life, have to be a good match.
So, I can’t work with everyone…there aren’t enough hours in the day. However, while I’m still in a position to be able to do it, I will gladly provide anyone with a true desire to improve their current situation with complimentary coaching session.
So, like the man who wrote me the email and was skeptical about my intentions, are you willing to walk away from a $250 gift? It is just that: a gift to you, with no strings attached and no pressure.
If you do find that this interesting and intriguing, what have you got to lose? Really, what’s the worst-case scenario? Less than an hour of your time and at the end, perhaps we don’t mesh? Hardly a risk, don’t you agree?
The bottom line for me is that my greatest passion is to help people find the best parts of themselves and bring that out into the world. I love helping people discover new business ideas and potential income streams. I love finding new ways to MasterMind with people to overcome challenges and have more time, money and freedom in their lives. That’s my passion!
By the way, the skeptical man I referred to earlier has now come back to me with an interest in pursuing a session. Isn’t that interesting? Sometimes it’s all about someone’s slightly skewed perception. All it took was just sharing my true motivation.
There is a direct correlation between the Law of Attraction and creating a MasterMind alliance or MasterMind group. In fact, I think Napoleon Hill was really onto the concept of attraction in his classic book on success, Think and Grow Rich.
Hill discusses the MasterMind alliance in great detail and in fact was the first to actually coin the term. He describes the MasterMind concept as follows:
“No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
Consider that quote for just a moment:
“…an invisible, tangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
It’s a powerful idea to be sure. I have always felt that the Law of Attraction was directly connected to that third mind to which Dr. Hill directs us. In fact, the Law of Attraction, that powerful universal force that magnetizes all things of similar vibration to each other really stems from that third mind, or the God mind. All things creative stem from this same force.
I would invite you to experiment with the MasterMind concept. In your current circle of influence, with whom could you partner to create a common and mutually beneficial outcome? A friend, a family member, a business associate? Who do you feel could support you in creating your dream and who can also be trusted with that dream?
Start getting together by phone or in person, even if just for 15 minutes a week to discuss the your mutual goals and how you might achieve them. As you stay open to the MasterMind/Attraction process, watch closely and "follow the trail" of what comes up around your intentions. When two or more are gathered, magic begins to happen.
And consider this: if two people create the power of a third mind, what happens when you add more? It has been put forward in the concepts of quantum mechanics and zero point energy field theory that as you continue to bring more and more people together, focused on the same outcome, the energy increases, but not in a linear way, as in 1 plus 1 plus 1, etc., but in an exponential way. So if you have 3 people involved, it becomes the energy of 3 x 3, four becomes 4 x 4, ten becomes 10 x 10, and so on. Imagine then, what would happen when we are able to create a focused, conscious group of people all lasered in on the same outcome.
We’ve seen the results of such experiments already, reducing violence in Washington, DC, creating a peace treaty in Bosnia/Herzogovna over a decade ago, and there are more examples.
We can and do make a difference. Keep in mind also that the scales can tip either direction. Last week, I posted an article discussing our participation in "attracting" the current economic conditions in America. It is important to monitor your thoughts, feelings and actions as you become more conscious of this process.
Know and trust that the process is working. Step up and reach out to others. Your participation DOES make a difference. And we need you to facilitate the great positives changes required on our little blue planet.
What do you think? I look forward to hearing from you on this. Be inspired…is your time!
I just came across a video from a colleague who is one of the consummate authorities on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). I’ve done a lot of study and work with EFT and there has always been a focus on bringing up negative emotional events in order to release them but in this unique video, Brad Yates brings a new perspective on using EFT to install a positive message and start your day in the mode to attract what you really want.
Enjoy Brad as he guides you through what he calls "Tap ‘O The Morning!"
Fear-based media is all around us. Personally, I’ve been on a mainstream news fast for quite a long time. I rarely watch any local news or CNN or any of the primary news stations.
Why? One primary reason and lots of others. The main reason is this: the Law of Attraction. I’ve said it over and over. The Law of Attraction works no matter whether you are using is consciously or through your random thoughts, feelings and actions. It doesn’t require your belief. It doesn’t require your permission. It’s working right now. So, if that Law of Attraction is working and attracting that which I am thinking, feeling and acting upon at any given time, why in the world would I want to watch news about war, famine, sickness, drug addiction, and…all this bad news about THE ECONOMY? I don’t and I don’t think you should either.
Every negative thought and picture we create in our minds about the economy failing in America (or worldwide) serves to bring more of the same. And because of the power of group thoughts, feelings and actions, when entire communities, cities, even entire countries are focused on the negative, what are we going to attract more of? Of course, the negative. The truth is that all economies ebb and flow…constantly moving up and down, up and down. This is just a phase and within the current economic situation are amazing opportunities. So, how would it be if you focused on opportunities, instead of on the poor economy? What if you said to yourself, like a mantra, throughout the day: "Opportunities await at every turn!" or "Money flows to me easily and effortlessly."
So, focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.
Start by shifting your habits and not letting outside sources like the mainstream news determine where your thoughts, feelings and actions take you. Take a news fast. Try it for a week. For just one week, don’t read a newspaper, or watch the TV news, or even search online for news. I assure you that if something that you need to know about happens, someone will tell you. You’ll hear about it if you need to. Every other pieces of "bad news" just serves to create a negative picture of something you do not want to attract.
Surround yourself with the positive. Create pictures of the things you want in your life and focus on that. It’s easy to do, if you just COMMIT to doing it. Watch what happens in ONE WEEK!
Starting next week, I’m going to be providing you with a day-by-day, step-by-step system you can use, in little video chunks of only a few minutes in length. That will help, I promise. But in the meantime, stay out of the media junkie world and give yourself a break. You’ll be glad you did.
