Have you ever felt that you’ve been cheated?
Perhaps you purchased something and it didn’t live up to your expectations? Maybe you bought something and it broke within a few days or found out later that what you purchased wasn’t what you really wanted . . .
For most of us, this has happened at least once in our life. My point in bringing this up is to point out to you how you are now focusing in your mind about that event. You remember it don’t you. You remember specific details of what happened . . . and you are probably in a bad mood because of it, aren’t you?
Well, I want to point out to you . . . right now . . . that you can STOP those thoughts NOW, by concentrating on something else. Go ahead and think about what you would buy right now when you have a million dollars in cold, hard cash. That’s right, you might be thinking of a new CAR, BOAT, MANSION, TOY, HELPING OTHERS, being financially free and perhaps you are even thinking of a VACATION or trip to HAWAII or other trips you would take. One person once told me that he was thinking about the words he would say to his boss when he quit his job.
Now, as you are thinking about having your own MILLIONS DOLLARS, what would you do? How would you fee when you have a MILLIONS DOLLARS now?
Now STOP thinking about that and LISTEN to LEARN how you can not just “think” about it, but actually create it in your life INSTANTLY!
You don’t think it’s possible? Think again!
If you’ve been going through the exercises I’ve just guided you through, you might not have noticed that when I asked you about being cheated, you got a little upset. When you remembered that experience in your mind, you literally create the same physical sensations that you experienced in the past during that event. Your mind accessed the same thoughts, feelings and sounds that you had at that time in your life. You might have felt upset or slightly angry when you remembered it.
Then, if you thought about having your own million dollars . . . what happened? If you actually could imagine it in your mind, you really did think about what you would do with it, you probably even could see yourself living a “different life” than what you are living right now. Did you do it? Did you experience it? I did. If you didn’t, start from the beginning and do read it again - and this time, try to see it in your mind and honestly think about what you would do with your own million dollars.
The fact is, that our minds are more powerful that we know. As humans, we can literally take something from our past and relive it over and over and over again. You might know someone who does this.
Think about it. Have you ever heard someone say almost the same thing when something goes wrong? Maybe they say “I had a bad childhood,” or “I’m no good at X,” or some other negative statement that they have placed upon themselves.
Without going into scientific details, you can learn to master your mind and use it’s creative/ remembering ability to bring into your life whatever you want. Specifically, you can change your mind so you create, not only abundance in every form, but you can actually create a Million Dollar Income Stream into your life . . . now.
How? By using the same tools that others use to bring themselves down into despair and create poverty, you can use those tools in new ways that bring you up into happiness and prosperity and create a Million Dollar Income Stream now.
Just like you thought about what you would do with the millions of dollars, if you will DO the following exercises EVERY DAY - you will create Million Dollar Income Streams in your life. It WILL happen instantly, effortlessly, and completely naturally as you trust in the power of your mind to create what you want.
Remember, what I am about to share with you are the EXACT STEPS to ensure your success. These are SECRETS. They have been hidden from the general population for a reason. Now that they are going to be revealed to you, please honor them and take them seriously.
Now LISTEN. This is very important. Even though I know thousands (if not millions) of people will eventually read this material, only a select few will actually implement it.
Why? Because even though the Million Dollar Income Stream will flow into your life effortlessly and naturally, it does require some EFFORT on your part - only initially.
After you set up the system (in your mind), it will be completely natural and effortless. So, I invite you to be one of the FEW who will USE this priceless information. Do what needs to be done initially and then, reap the rewards for the rest of your life. Now, these are the EXACT steps to create a Permanent Million Dollar Income Stream in your life NOW . . .
Step one: You must first eliminate all doubt from your being. Eliminate all hate, eliminate all sorrow, eliminate all excuses. In short, you must BELIEVE that this will work for you, because it will. So, step one - have faith that as you do this, it will work.
Believe that it will work for you and it will.
Step two: You must take only 15 minutes a day to be by yourself (alone) to perform the MILLIONAIRE EXERCISE. I don’t care if you have to go into your closet or bathroom and lock the door - but you must do it. Don’t question it, just do it.
Step three: You must close your eyes and repeat the following verbatim (word for word) - preferably out-loud for the entire 15 minutes. “Every minute of every day, millions of dollars flow to me now . . . instantly, effortlessly, naturally now.”
Step four: You must repeat that statement over and over and over again in a rhythmic manner for at least 15 minutes of every day for a two month period.
Step five: After the two month period of doing that everyday, you must set a goal of exactly what amount of money you want to have. For example, if you want $1,468,920.00 you must start using this amount in your statements. So, you would say “One million, four hundred sixty-eight thousand, nine hundred twenty dollars flows to me now, instantly, effortlessly, naturally now.” Do this for the next 3 months.
Step six: During these next 3 months, after you are done repeating the phrase, you must think about either having that exact amount of money in your bank account (visualize yourself looking at your bank statement with that exact amount of money on your statement). Then, feel good about your accomplishment.
Step seven: Circumstances and situations will start arising in your life that will allow this exact amount to manifest itself into your life. Simply be positive (remember you cannot doubt, for if you do - you will not obtain the money) and allow the universe to work its magic in your life.
Step eight: Repeat steps one through seven. By doing so, you will acquire Million Dollar Income Streams in your life. You now have the exact steps. Remember to use them.
Thank you for allowing me to share these secret steps with you. I wish you complete success as you create your own Million Dollar Income Streams . . . now.

The Top 10 Destructive Money Beliefs and How to Overcome Them
Filed Under:
Money Making secret
0 Comments
Article by Dan Klatt
InnerWealthMastery.com
If you're not making as much money as you'd like, then you're holding onto some negative beliefs about yourself and how much money you're capable of handling.
In this article we'll go through 10 of the most common (and most limiting) examples of how people hold themselves back financially.
Subscribers to my ezine, "The Abundant Mind," get a Money Beliefs Quiz. From their results I've compiled these Top 10 Destructive Money Beliefs. How many can you relate to?
10. "Money is not spiritual."
Here's the belief that you're somehow more spiritual or more likely to have a better afterlife if you sacrifice greatly this time around. Or that you'll suffer after you die if you pursue the things you want, which you need money to buy. This belief is most often an effect of people's religious upbringing. Remember, you're here to live life fully right now. (Also see belief No. 1.)
9. "I'll get to it tomorrow."
When you put things off, you step out of the natural flow which includes Abundance coming into your life. It's almost always based on your fear that you'll fail anyway, and that will disappoint you. So you delay what you feel is inevitable. Once you start living in the moment, though, you let go of the grip the past held on you. You realize you're a new person now. You've learned and grown a lot since the last time things didn't go as planned. (And that only happened because you still had not learned something you needed then to succeed, which you probably know now.)
8. "I'll probably just fail anyway."
We've probably all heard the wisdom of Wayne Gretzky: "You always miss the shot you don't take." When people don't take action because they're afraid they'll fail, well, guess what, by not even trying they already have failed. You have already succeeded just by moving forward. You may not achieve your objectives right away, yet you will still have learned some valuable lessons. And that makes it more likely you'll succeed next time.
7. "But we can't afford that."
This kind of thinking comes from scarcity and lack, not Abundance. It also gets people to focus on what they don't have (which empowers them "not-having"). They feel like the things they do have are not enough. Instead, when you appreciate everything you do have, you come from Abundance and start bringing the things you want closer to you. You also realize there is no limit to what you can become, accomplish or have.
6. "Rich people are greedy and dishonest."
The first person to spread this untruth must have been a poor person. The fact is that most people who become wealthy are at least somewhat aware of the spiritual principles that allowed them to prosper. A key part of that is to stay in the flow, which means giving back. Rich people are among the most generous, too, and they started their habit of giving long before they started having a lot of money. Coincidence? Not a chance.
5. "If I'm successful, my friends will be jealous and stop liking me."
Remember that we live in an abundant universe. There IS enough for everyone. People who envy what others have are coming from scarcity and actually are a harmful influence on your Abundant Mind. It's actually critical to your experience of prosperity to only allow positive, supportive and inspiring messages into your brain. (And that especially includes your own thoughts!)
4. "I'm no better than my parents, so I shouldn't make
more than they did."
The world was much different when your parents were where you're at. Tools like the Internet have made it possible for everyone to make a lot of money doing what they love. Besides, your parents may have struggled precisely to give you a better life than they had. They loved you and would want it no other way.
3. "I might forget what's truly important and not like
the person I've become."
People who are greedy still come from scarcity and lack. (And if they made lots of money, they will not enjoy it and are more likely to lose it.) Instead, you'll come from Abundance, and you know that encompasses far more than material wealth. In fact, it requires a balance between great health, meaningful relationships, ample time for relaxation and playing, and truly enjoying your financial abundance. You will have an abundance of happiness when you come from an Abundant Mind.
2. "Money is the root of all evil."
This is the most common error we learn from our parents and religious institutions, and it keeps millions in poverty and a slave to money. That, by the way, is the only way we may judge money as "evil" - when it controls us. And that only happens when we feel we need it, because we're coming from scarcity and lack. When you come from Abundance, money becomes a tool to enjoy the finer things in life and to give you everything you need to fulfill your life purpose. That's why we're here, right?
1. "I'm not worthy."
Did you realize that fully 90 percent of the population has an issue with low self-esteem? It's the No. 1 thing that holds people back and prevents them from living their dreams. When people feel they don't deserve wealth or abundance in any area, they don't take the opportunities they're given and instead do nothing and complain about people who have become abundant. They also make up lots of excuses to justify how life has done them wrong. Instead, please realize that The Abundant Mind is what separates the richest person from the crowd, and you can choose right now to come from Abundance and take your place among the wealthy. You ARE worthy.

Candid Conversation Between Internet Millionaires

Article by Willie Crawford
InternetMarketingHowToWorkshop.com
I sat around in a hotel room chatting with two other *very* well-known internet marketers recently. We brainstormed and shared observations until three in the morning :-) I thought you might enjoy the simple yet profound insights and wisdom shared by these two multi-millionaires. Look for ways you can directly apply this knowledge to your business activities.
The most profound observation that we all made was that most on-line newbies set their goals too low. This is often because of limitations in what they can convince themselves is possible. You see, until you have seen something done, you often view many things as impossible. After you see many people doing them, your concept of what is possible shifts radically.
Consider the person barely able to make their monthly rent payment. To them earning $50,000 a year may seem like a big dream. However, the person making $50,000 sets his goal on $100,000 although it may appear to be a big challenge to him. It magically seems more possible if that individual know anyone actually earning $100,000 a year. The person earning $100,000 a year, can see the possibilities of earning $200,000 a year, and the one earning this amount can imagine half a million.
As I sat in that room, chatting with someone who had made and lost many more millions than I could imagine, my personal perspective shifted dramatically. Just being exposed to someone who told me/showed me how it could be done convinced me that it was possible. It convinced me that I could do it... and I set out making it a reality :-)
At other times during this weekend I engaged in other brainstorming sessions on how to build mailing lists in excess of one million, how to get millions of visitors to your site, and how to market high-end products. Nobody in the group doubted that these things could be done since we knew people who had done them. So our focus became how do *we* accomplish this.
The amazing thing about those discussion with those two internet marketing millionaires was how it continues to make me notice people doing "the impossible." For example, I now notice websites that get millions of visitors a month. I also notice websites that get millions of visitors a day. And as I observe these amazing feats, I ask how can I duplicate what they are doing. I ask, how can I teach people I mentor to do the same thing.
What I grew to realize was that the challenge I face is just getting you to acknowledge that it is possible. I frequently talk to subscribers who are busily trying to market a $20 ebook for 50% commission. I have to emphatically remind them that this will never make them independently wealthy. The only reason you should be selling $20 ebooks is to get names on your list and to qualify them for up-sells to more lucrative products that they need.
It takes being at a seminar or conference and watching someone purchase a $5000 product or $10,000 in consulting services before many of those I mentor experience the shift in thinking I try desperately to effect. You see, this shift in thinking is necessary if you really want to become an internet success story.
That shift in thinking does a number of things for you. At the same time that you learn the secret to driving millions to a website, you realize that you may not really want a million visitors a month. As you learn to create a mailing list of several hundred thousand, you may realize that what you really want is a smaller but very targeted list. As your thinking shifts (and the light comes on) you discover that you are *actually* adopting the essential mindset.
What's the purpose of sharing with you a few moment of candid conversations with some internet marketing millionaires. It's actually to make you want to begin associating with the same types of people. When you associate with and brainstorm with people who think this big, you magically become one of them. Then you sit back, look at them, and realize they really are no different than you. The biggest difference is frame of reference and what they believe to be possible. Find a way for you to have candid conversations with a few millionaires today and watch what happens.

How to Make Money Fast Online

Money Making secret

Don't throw in the towel. I know you've been reading about people making money online. I know you've tried to do it. Well, don't give up just yet.
I have a plan to help you make at least some money on the Internet, and I'm going to give it to you right now.
Here's my online money formula in brief:
Basically, find out what this week's most popular searches are at Google. Then pick one of them and quickly generate an e-book, e-report, or even e-audio related to that subject. Put up a site and start selling. List one copy on Ebay. That's it.
Here's how it works in detail:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html
and see what the hot searches are currently.
2. Pick one of them that you are at least somewhat curious about.
3. Research the subject online, compiling information about the subject. This will be your e-product. Be creative. Develop something people searching on this topic will want. (Get help on how to create e-books fast at www.7dayebook.com )
4. Then quickly put up a one-page website and offer your e-product for sale. You can put up sites at http://www.godaddy.com (A one-page site there is only $14.95 a year).
5. List one copy of your product on Ebay. This will get your product and site noticed right away by millions of people.
In short, you're riding the wave of the public's interest. This is a tried and true money-making secret.
For example, on Easter a friend showed me a book of nothing but questions and answers about the movie, "The Passion of The Christ."
The book is compiled data. Yet because it ties to the current frenzy of interest in Mel Gibson's movie, the book is selling and the author is getting on national TV and radio shows.
Cindy Cashman just used this exact same idea to create two e-books that spin-off of Donald Trump's current TV show. See CindyCashman.com Unless Trump actually trademark's the phrases, "You're hired!" and "You're fired!", Cindy is going to profit from Trump's stardom.
You can do this, too. Simply create something that ties to an existing popular search and use the above steps to jump-start your sales.
For example, one week last April one of the top searches was for "IRS." Obviously if you had information to help people deal with the IRS, you could capitalize on it. But if you didn't have any info, you could search the net for it, find an angle that is fresh, and release your own IRS product.
Another week the name "elisha cuthbert" was a top-10 search item. You could compile a directory of all the sites showing pictures of the actress, compile quotes by her, or maybe create an Elisha Cuthbert cookbook, beauty tips guide, joke book, or whatever, based on your web searches.
Or you could go contrarian and create something called "Why I Hate Elisha Cuthbert." (I don't. I think she's a great actress in the TV show '24' and I hear she's a nice person, too.)
Or you can get outrageous and create a campaign called "Elisha Cuthbert for President." Your site could sell an e-book where you offer Elisha as a candidate.
Get the idea?
Not everyone reading this article will act on this formula, but those who do have a good chance of making a lot of money fast.
Will you be one of them?

What is the Secret to Getting Rich Today?

Money Making secret

It's Saturday morning as I write this article. I'm headed out to the lake today. A friend bought a boat and wants to take Nerissa and me out for a ride. Since I haven't had a day off in months, I'm ready for the clean air, the sun on my face, and the fast ride with good company. Still, I'm nervous.
I'm afraid he's going to ask me about my recent seminar. People paid $5,000 each and came from across the planet to attend my private intensive event on Hypnotic Writing skills. I allowed only 10 people in the room. And I screened everyone who attended. I was about to reveal the most advanced strategies known to humanity for persuading with words, and I didn't want any riff raff.
I'm not kidding. I even had a guest speaker reveal the chilling little known secrets of persuasion. He had been raised in a cult. Later, he was an undercover agent. He once had a shotgun held to his head for 40 minutes. He used words to escape with his life. It was all, well, hypnotic.
This is the kind of forbidden knowledge I revealed in my weekend intensive.
My friend knows this. Like a lot of people, he's curious. He heard that I revealed the three secrets to writing copy that I've never told anyone before. He heard that I explained my own private formula for writing sale letters -- a formula I've never revealed anywhere, ever before.
He also knows that I explained my private checklists for reviewing copy. And -- I almost regret this -- I gave away some of my original tricks for making all writing more engaging, almost irresistible to read.
I also revealed my ideas about Hypnotic Graphics, the "intimacy factor," the wisdom in comic books, a lesson from hypnosis, the power of optical illusions in words, the need to strive for the impossible, how to direct the mind, and more.
I even explained how people think, and unveiled why I call myself the "Michelangelo of Words." On top of all that, I gave the 10 people in my event a copy of my new volume, the Hypnotic Writing Mastery Manual, literally my life’s work and knowledge condensed into a tight 132 pages. (There's one graphic in the manual so gripping that the man who bound the books for me looked at it and said, "Trippy!")
My friend wants to know what I revealed. He also wants that manual. Yes, he's a friend. But he's also in business. He knows that if he learns and uses these proven methods, his business will double, maybe even triple. People who attended the event said the experience was a "20" on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being fantastic.
My friend is drooling.
They have gone home and started to immediately see results like these:
“I used a few Hypnotic Selling Secrets to rewrite in one day one email offer for one of my audio books that increased the sales by over 100%. This is amazing.” ~~ Dave Lakhani - Bold Approach, Inc. - boldapproach.com
“I've gotta say I have been utterly clueless when it comes to writing sales copy. I've done it (everyone in business has to), but up until now it has always been hit and miss. Write some words, throw 'em at the wall, and see if they stick. The Hypnotic Copywriting weekend changed all that for me. Joe gave me a step-by-step "how to and why" guide to creating powerful sales copy. I was blown away by the depth of his knowledge and manner in which he weaves together words that invite the client to come in, get excited and BUY!” ~ Jillian Coleman Wheeler - GrantMeRich.com
“On my return from your information packed weekend, I put out my first hypnotic written email blast. My results doubled in attendance at my next two events and we sold more than we ever had at any previous event. It works Joe, you are one of kind and so is your hypnotic writing training.” ~~ Carol Tuttle - Energy Therapist, Author, Speaker - caroltuttle.com
What am I going to do about my friend?
Go to the lake, take the boat ride, and prepare myself to be grilled by my friend, or stay here and work on something important?
The truth is, the question is for you to answer. That's right. You. Do you want to spend the day on the lake -- or whatever the equivalent of that is to you -- or to do you want to knuckle down and make some real money in your own business?
The question concerns choice, life direction, and your own personal power. Most people get bounced around by the circumstances of life. As I say in my forthcoming new book, "The Attractor Factor," you are the primary creative force in your life.
You can choose where you want to go, or you can let the winds blow you around like a mindless feather. This morning my friend invited me to the lake. Will I go or will I stay here and work? The answer is obvious. He's waiting for me right now.
But here I am, writing this article for you. This comes first. This is more important. This is crucial. But what's your answer? When you're torn between learning how to make a good living online, and a distraction, what do you choose?
Anyone serious about making money or even getting rich on the Internet, or anywhere else, needs to come from a position of mental strength. After all, many people say they want to get rich. But how many of them are investing in their own success?
How many invest in books, courses, seminars, and trainings? And of those who do invest in their own desire to get rich, how many actually use what they learn? How many choose to "go to the lake" rather than implement what they learn?
My question to you today is this: Who is making your choices? Your answer is the key to your success. As for me, will I go to the lake today?
Maybe.

The Great Secret To Activating The Law

The lady on the phone had a question.
"I've been giving money away for years and I haven't seen my own prosperity grow at all. What am I doing wrong?"
"Where are you giving money?"
"To my local church."
"Why are you giving them money?" I asked.
"They need it."
"How do you feel when you give it to them?"
"Like I am helping them out of a hole."
"But how do you really feel when you give them money?"
There was a moment of silence.
"Well, it.s a pain," she admitted. "I cringe when I write them a check."
Not good.
"If you feel lousy when you give money, then you are associating money with bad feelings," I explained. "You probably don't want to attract more bad feelings, so you probably won't attract much more money, either."
"Wow. I never thought of it that way."
"And if you give because someone asked for it or even pleaded for it, then you are reinforcing need," I explained. "In order for you to experience increased wealth, you want to give money wherever it makes you feel good to do so. In other words, giving to someone who needs it is a noble thing to do. Do it. But that.s not the principle I'm talking about here."
"I get it!" she said. I couldn't help but think some other part of the universe was helping her understand what I couldn't explain.
"What did you get?" I asked.
"I've been keeping the church in a begging mode," she said.
"My heart wants to give money to wherever I feel spiritual nourishment. Sometimes that.s my church. Sometimes it's not."
"You got it!. I said.
And there you have it.
You can give money to any causes you like. I've helped The Red Cross, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, cancer funds, and more. But I didn't expect my finances to increase from that giving. That generosity was helping, yes, but not necessarily activating spiritual law.
The spiritual law of financial income seems to happen when you give money freely to wherever you get your spiritual nourishment, with a small expectation that somehow, some way, some day, your finances will increase as a result.
Giving to worthy causes might activate the law if you feel you received spiritual nourishment from those causes. But if you didn't, and you give anyway, you are probably just helping people in need.
That, of course, is noble. I say do it.
Again, the subject of this book is the greatest money-making secret in history. And you activate that secret when you give freely, joyously, to wherever you currently get spiritual nourishment and nurturing.
"Money is an outer form of spiritual substance."
-- Georgiana Tree West, Prosperity's Ten Commandments
The Greatest Money-Making Secret in History!
Filed Under: attract money, Money Making secret 0 CommentsIf you want money, you only have to do one thing.
It’s the one thing some of the wealthiest people on the planet have done and are doing.
It’s the one thing written about in various ancient cultures and still promoted today.
It’s the one thing that will bring money to anyone who does it but at the same time most people will fear doing it.
What is that one thing?
John D. Rockefeller did it since he was a child. He became a billionaire.
Andrew Carnegie did it, too. He became a tycoon.
What is the greatest money-making secret in history?
What is the one thing that works for everyone?
Give money away.
That’s right. Give it away.
Give it to people who help you stay in touch with your inner world.
Give it to people who inspire you, serve you, heal you, love you.
Give it to people without expecting them to return it, but give it knowing it will come back to you multiplied from some source.
In 1924 John D. Rockefeller wrote to his son and explained his practice of giving away money. He wrote, "...in the beginning of getting money, away back in my childhood, I began giving it away,
and continued increasing the gifts as the income increased..."
Did you notice what he said?
He gave away more money as he received more income. He gave away $550 million dollars in his lifetime.
Some people think Rockefeller started giving away dimes as a publicity stunt to improve his image. That.s not true. The public relations man who worked for Rockefeller was Ivy Lee. In Courtier To The Crowd, a great biography of Lee, Ray Eldon Hiebert states Rockefeller had been giving money away for decades on his own. All Lee did was let the public know.
P.T. Barnum gave money away, too. As I wrote in my book on him, There’s A Customer Born Every Minute, Barnum believed in what he called a "profitable philanthropy." He knew giving would lead to receiving. He, too, became one of the world’s richest men.
Andrew Carnegie gave enormously, too. Of course, he became one of the richest men in America.s history.
Bruce Barton, cofounder of the famous BBDO advertising agency and the key subject of my book The Seven Lost Secrets of Success also believed in giving. In 1927 he wrote:
"If a man practices doing things for other people until it becomes so much a habit that he is unconscious of it, all the good forces of the universe line up behind him and whatever he undertakes to do.."
Barton became a best-selling author, business celebrity, contributor to numerous causes, and very, very, wealthy.
While some might argue that these early tycoons had the money to give, so it was easy for them, I would argue that they got the money in part because they were willing to freely give. The giving led to the receiving. The giving led to more wealth.
I'll repeat that:
The giving led to the receiving.
The giving led to more wealth.
Today it’s fashionable for businesses to give money to worthy causes. It makes them look good and of course it helps those who receive it. Anita Roddick’s Body Shop stores, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield’s ice cream, and Yvon Chouinard’s Patagonia, are living examples of how giving can be good for business.
But what I’m talking about here is individual giving. I’m talking about you giving money so you will receive more money.
If there’s one thing I think people do wrong when they practice giving, is they give too little. They hold on to their money and let it trickle out when it comes to giving. And that’s why they aren’t receiving. You have to give, and give a lot, to be in the flow of life to receive.
I remember when I first heard about the idea of giving. I thought it was a scheme to get me to give money to the people who were telling me to do the giving.
If I did give, it was like a miser. Naturally, what I got in return was equivalent to what I gave. I gave little. I got little.
But then one day I decided to test the theory of giving.
I love inspiring stories. I read them, listen to them, share them, and tell them. I decided to thank Mike Dooley of www.tut.com for the inspiring messages he shares with me and others every day by email.
I decided to give him some money. In the past I would have given him maybe five dollars. But that’s when I came from scarcity and feared the giving principle wouldn’t work. This time would be different. I took out my checkbook and wrote a check for one thousand dollars.
It was the largest single contribution I had ever made in my life at that time.
Yes, it made me a tiny bit nervous. But it mostly made me excited. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to reward Mike.
And I wanted to see what would happen.
Mike was stunned. He got my check in the mail and nearly drove off the road as he headed home. He couldn’t believe it. He even called me and thanked me. I enjoyed his boyish surprise. It made me feel like a million bucks. (Note that!)
I loved making him so happy. I delighted in giving the money to him. Whatever he did with it was fine with me. What I got was an incredible feeling of helping someone continue doing what I believed in. It was an inner rush to help him. I still rejoice at sending him the money.
And then something wonderful began to happen.
I suddenly got a call from a person who wanted me to co-author his book, a job that ended up paying me many times over what I had given away.
And then a publisher in Japan contacted me, wanting to buy the translation rights to my best-selling book, Spiritual Marketing.
They, too, offered me many times what I had given Mike as a gift.
A true skeptic can say these events are unrelated. Maybe in the skeptic’s mind, they aren’t. In mine, they are.
When I gave money to Mike, I sent a message to myself and to the world that I was prosperous and in the flow. I also set up a magnetic principle that attracted money to me: As you give, so you will get.
Give time and you’ll get time.
Give products and you’ll get products.
Give love and you’ll get love.
Give money and you’ll get money.
This one tip alone can transform your finances. Think of the person or persons who have inspired you over the last week. Who made you feel good about yourself, your life, your dreams, or your goals?
Give that person some money. Give them something from your heart. Don’t be stingy. Come from abundance, not scarcity. Give without expecting return from that person, but do expect return.
As you do, you will see your own prosperity grow.
That.s the Greatest Money-Making Secret in History!
"If you see it, touch it.
If you touch it, feel it.
If you feel it, love it.
If you love it...Give it."
Because NOTHING speaks to the UNIVERSE louder, of your BELIEF in self, abundance, and love, than giving.
And when the Universe hears, more will be added unto you. NOT AS A REWARD, but because you truly believed... in self, abundance, and love.
