Good morning! 
Stumbled across a good video last weekend that shares a simple technique for helping yourself feel good about money and recognition (and thereby attract more of them!)

I got an email today from a man who’s subscribed to my Prosperity Tips & Affirmations Ezine, and he was frustrated because it seems like everyone is charging money for their books and products. He’s going through some rough times financially, so he feels a bit disillusioned about the Law of Attraction and so many products costing money.
This brings up some great points about money and energy exchanges related to abundance and prosperity, so I’m copying my response to him below:
I’m glad you’re enjoying the emails so far, I truly love writing them. I understand how you feel about people constantly promoting their books and other products, it’s frustrating at times. Since I also sell my own books I might not be the best person to answer your question! LOL But I want to share something with you that I think can make a big difference in your own level of prosperity.
And that is: always try to appreciate the contributions that others make to you in the form of products and services. Rather than feeling disillusioned because people are selling products, be happy for them and develop a genuine sense of appreciation for their contributions. That goes for products like books that you buy and read, but also for the services you use in your day to day life like electricity, running water, rent or mortgage, etc.
That doesn’t mean you have to buy anything unless you really have a need for it or want it, of course. But what I mean is, don’t resent the people for selling them in the first place. When it comes right down to it, sales transactions are nothing more than an exchange of energy. A product creator invests their energy, time and knowledge into the product and offers it to the customer. The customer then offers their own energy back in the form of money. It’s an even exchange that benefits both parties.
If everything was offered for free it would create a huge energy imbalance. In fact, that’s exactly what happened to me. I started my first website in early 2000, and I gave away everything for free because I really wanted to help people. I still give away plenty for free because I really enjoy doing so. But after several years of that, I found myself having some serious problems. First, I had a lot of financial blockages and struggled to pay the hosting and domain fees for the website so it kept going down when I was unable to pay. Since I also had to pay my bills and living expenses, I was forced to work long hours at my job to cover everything, which meant I had less time and energy available to really help others like I wanted to.
Finally I realized that if I truly wanted to help people, I had to stop giving away everything for free and offer a way for greater balance to be achieved. That meant creating products and charging money for them. Yes, some people didn’t like it at all; they felt like I was trying to rip them off or all I cared about was their money - despite me giving them nothing but free information for 6+ years! But others were thrilled for an opportunity to give back to me for helping them. It all balances out.
SO - my point is, understand that the people who are selling products and services are doing so for a good reason. If everything was offered for free, they would be forced to make money some other way, which means they would have less time/energy/resources to offer people.
A very good way to attract more abundance into your own life is to start feeling appreciation for the companies and individuals who provide their products and services to you! For example, when you pay your bills, take a few moments to think about how wonderful it is to have a roof over your head and give thanks to your landlord or mortgage company. Do the same when you pay the electric bill, cable, car payment, etc.
Find a way to feel good about the money you send out, and you will encourage more to flow in! It really does work.
Finally, I want to offer one more insight. Take some time to think about how you would feel about the monetary exchanges if you already had plenty of money at your disposal. If you had a million dollars in the bank, would you be upset about someone charging money for their products? Probably not. Instead you would consider whether you needed it or not, and not focus on the money part of it at all.
That might seem like a big “duh” - but I want you to really think about that because I think the source of your resentment is not that these products cost money — but that you feel you can’t get the help and guidance you need if you don’t have the money to pay for it. Right? (That’s just my perception based on your email; only you know the true answer.)
There are so many possibilities that you can’t even see right now, but they will begin to appear as you begin to change your perception.
Whatever you “send out” in thoughts, words and actions will come back to you in some form. That sounds ominous but it can also be amazing!

I’m still skimming back through my older manifestation journals, and I’m discovering some neat things I’d forgotten all about. Yesterday I found an entry about a big insight that I don’t think I’ve mentioned before, so I’d like to share it in case you might be doing the same thing and consequently blocking more abundance from flowing into your life.
One of the first things we learn about prosperity attraction is the importance of believing that we have more than enough money for everything we need. As we begin to truly believe this, more money flows into our lives. We might get a raise at work, or receive unexpected income from various sources. I’ve read a lot of cool stories about the creative ways the universe finds to deliver more abundance to people! 
But did you know that it’s possible to hold such a belief and STILL struggle with money? That’s what I found myself doing several years ago. I wrote pages of notes in my journal trying to figure out how it was possible to see more money coming into my life in very obvious ways, yet still have trouble paying the bills each month!
I knew that the problem wasn’t with my mind-set. Each day I was focusing heavily on believing and knowing that I had plenty of money. And plenty of money flowed in each week. But by the end of the month, I struggled to have enough to pay the bills.
After about a week of pondering this mystery, in a huge flash of insight, I realized that my ACTIONS were not demonstrating a belief that I always had more than enough. Here’s what I caught myself doing:
Each month as bills came in, I didn’t pay them right away. I would set them aside because I wanted to be sure I had enough to cover the rent at the end of the month. And more often than not, by the end of the month I found that I didn’t have quite enough to cover everything.
Can anyone tell me why?
Two words: CONFLICTING SIGNALS!
All month long I was affirming to the universe that I always had more than enough money, but my ACTIONS were not reflecting that belief at all! Way in the back of my mind was a WORRY that I wouldn’t have enough to pay everything. So all month long, the universe kept hearing me say: “I always have more than enough money. But I might not have enough money to pay my bills.” AH HA!! Big light bulb moment there.
Once I realized I was doing that, I immediately changed my habits and started paying every bill when it came in. If I didn’t have the money to pay it immediately, I would take a red marker and write “PAID” on the front of the envelope and set it aside, affirming again that I always have enough money to pay my bills.
[One of my favorite affirmations was conceived during that time: "I always have more than enough money to pay my bills easily and on time."]
Before long I would receive the money to pay that bill, and the same thing happened week after week - and ironically, I was able to easily cover the rent too!
Once my ACTIONS were in line with my BELIEFS - I truly always had enough. (That’s a lesson I’ve had to learn a few times throughout my life actually - sometimes it’s easy to slip back into old habits if I’m not careful! )
So, if you find yourself in the same situation I was, if you’re visualizing and affirming until you’re blue in the face but STILL struggle with money, take a moment to consider what your ACTIONS might be conveying to the universe.
Are you afraid to spend money because you might not have enough? Are you afraid to give money because you might need it later for yourself? Do you hold back on buying things you need because you fear not having enough? (That’s another one I did for a long time. Even if I really needed something - like car repairs, clothing, groceries - I would still hold back on buying them until I made sure I had enough money for the bills at the end of the month. Not surprisingly, I usually didn’t have enough - for the bills OR the extra stuff!)
I eventually “got it” that the more I tried to hold my money back out of a fear of “not enough” the more I attracted the experience of not having enough! Once I started giving money and spending money fearlessly, I found myself ALWAYS having enough money to cover everything.
When I say “spending money fearlessly”, I don’t mean reckless spending. I don’t mean maxing out your credit cards or buying a bunch of stuff you don’t really need. But if you hold back on buying things you truly need because of a fear that you won’t have enough, you’re just sending a signal of lack to the universe.
Have faith in your heart and mind, and ACT with faith too. It’s a perfect recipe for Prosperity Pie! Who wants a slice?

I’ve written before about the power of giving and the universe returning much more back to you. It’s done amazing things in my own life, both financially and in terms of feeling great!
Giving works on a few levels:
1) You are affirming to the universe that you have more than enough, so the automatic response of the Law of Attraction is to shift your circumstances so that you DO have more than enough. Sometimes in very creative ways!
2) It helps build up your “faith muscles.” When you’re struggling with a strong lack mentality, it’s hard to give. You start feeling all these little nagging worries, like “what if I can’t pay the bills because I made this donation?” or “What if my bonus doesn’t come through - then I’m screwed!” But if you can purposely shift your focus away from these fears and keep affirming that the universe always provides, everything works out - simply because you did shift your focus.
3) Giving is really just an exchange of ENERGY. Money is energy. Love is energy. Happiness is energy. Joy is energy. And energy must FLOW. It can’t be bottled and kept on a shelf. It can’t be gripped fearfully. The more you let it flow out, the more you’re allowing it to flow back IN.
If you receive Notes from the Universe, you probably received a notice about this yourself, but if you didn’t, Mike Dooley has started a new monthly project, Gifts from the Universe. Each month a new cause or charity will be featured, and you can make a donation - as little as $1, or more.
This month’s project is Operation Smile, which treats children born with facial deformities like cleft palates and more. I can’t think of a more worthwhile place to send some of your abundant energy. Please consider sending as much as you can - maybe even a smidge MORE than you think you can. As you give, imagine the brand new radiant smiles of the children you have blessed.
Then affirm with absolute faith that the universe will return your gift to you in a multitude of ways, multiplied ten times over. It must, because you want to be sure you can donate even more to next month’s project, right?
Visit Gifts from the Universe now.
EDIT: LOL! Right after I posted this message, I continued reading my email and this happened to be today’s Insight of the Day: “The Universe wants to give to you. The moment you begin to change your vibration to one of abundance, it will start sending you people, situations, and opportunities that reflect your inner state.” - Peggy McColl, Author of ‘21 Distinctions of Wealth’

I just had to share this because it’s a perfect demonstration of the power of visualization!
I mentioned recently that I’m in the process of attracting some pretty big things into my life (bigger than I’ve attempted before, anyway), and one of those things is a large sum of money to be used for specific purposes.
One of the things I’ve been doing religiously for the past couple of weeks is visualizing money coming to me in fun, unexpected ways - like a lottery win, among other things.
There are a lot of opposing viewpoints on whether it’s possible to use the Law of Attraction to win the lottery. Some people say you can’t do it because that would be restricting the universe on “how” abundance will come into your life. Other people believe that you can manifest a lottery win as easily as anything else. My own viewpoint falls in between those two, but I’ll go into that in a moment.
First, back to my story. The most I’ve ever won in the lottery was $100, about 18 years ago. My grandmother bought me an instant scratch ticket for my birthday, and it was a $100 winner. Since that time, I’ve won only small amounts here and there, anywhere from $1.00 to $15.00 at a time. (In fact, I laugh about that because somewhere along the way I developed a belief that “I never win much on lottery tickets…” — it’s not too surprising that I rarely won more than a few bucks at a time then! )
WELL, ever since I set this new intention to attract a larger sum into my life a couple weeks ago, I’ve been visualizing myself winning a large sum of money in the lottery. Sometimes I visualize winning a big jackpot in the twice weekly drawings, and sometimes I see myself winning on a scratch ticket. I don’t focus on the dollar amount specifically, I just see myself whooping and hollering with excitement as I win, and get myself into that feeling place of excitement and joy. (It’s a ton of fun, try it! )
Yesterday when I stopped at the store, I felt drawn to a specific scratch ticket that was hanging on the rack behind the clerk. It cost $10, but I remembered that I had a $5.00 winner in my purse from the last time I bought tickets. So I decided “what the heck,” and I turned in my $5 ticket plus another $5 and bought the ticket that was calling my name. YES, it was a winner! I started scratching it when I got home, and was thrilled to see I had won $50.00!
But I wasn’t done scratching yet. I kept going and revealed another spot that was a $50.00 winner. Then another. Then ANOTHER!
Yes, this ticket was a $200.00 winner! That’s less than the full amount I’m in the process of attracting - but I was overjoyed because this ticket was confirmation that my visualizations are WORKING. I swear, it felt like the universe was sending me a Happy Gram to keep me focused until the full amount manifests - and I know it will!
So if you have ever doubted that it’s possible to attract a lottery win, take this as direct confirmation that it IS POSSIBLE.
However, I want to point out a couple of important things here:
1) First, I’m not ONLY visualizing money coming to me through the lottery. I’m not “stuck” on the lottery alone, and I think that’s very important.
Sometimes we get it into our heads that there is only one way to accomplish something, when the universe actually has limitless resources to draw on. So, even though I won this smaller amount, it doesn’t mean that the bigger sum will come through the lottery too. It could, but it might also come in other ways. In fact, it might come in smaller increments the whole way! Anything is possible.
So, if you want to visualize winning the lottery, it’s okay to do that - but also visualize other possibilities, and be OPEN to other possibilities, even if you can’t imagine what they might be. In addition to lottery wins, I’ve been visualizing my business income increasing, unexpected gifts and opportunities coming my way, and more. But I don’t get STUCK on any one way. Do the same thing and you’ll be open to many, many possibilities!
2) Also, I think it’s VERY IMPORTANT to enter into the visualizations with the right intent. In this recent post, I shared a little bit about what Abraham says about the power of pure thought vs. physical action.
If you watched the video, you may also remember them saying: “Sometimes our friends will say, ‘Well here I stand, while this is where I would rather stand . . . oh, and Abraham has given us a process so that we can get from here to over here. I’m going to offer this visualization to get from here to over here.’ And what happens is, as you are offering any process to get from here to here, what happens is, you’re vibrating in both places. So you can’t move from where you are; nothing changes for you. So you can make much faster progress if you say, ‘I’m offering this visualization not to get from here to over here, but I’m offering this visualization for the pleasure of the visualization…’”
If you missed that, go back and watch the video again - it’s a powerful insight! I know in the past I’ve caught myself trying to . . . how do I say it - PUSH things to happen by infusing my visualizations with a lot of energy and intention. But when you do that from a standpoint of trying to DRAW something to you, you’re also reaffirming that you don’t yet have it!
In fact, remember what Dr. Joe Vitale said in the Secret movie? When you do visualization right, it’s such a HOLOGRAPHIC experience that you feel like you don’t even need what you’re trying to attract, because you feel like you ALREADY HAVE IT.
That’s the type of focus your visualizations need to have if they don’t already! That’s what I’ve been doing - just creating really fun, uplifting “mind movies” of myself winning money in the lottery, among other things. And it’s working. I’m seeing lots of evidence that I’m shifting into an ever-higher state of abundance and wealth attraction, and it’s totally effortless.
—> Shameless plug - this is exactly what my Visualize Prosperity Ebook teaches too - how to use FUN, LIGHTHEARTED visualizations to attract more prosperity into your life. It works!
So YES, let this experience stand as a testimony that it IS possible to win the lottery by using the Law of Attraction. Of course, that will depend on whether YOU think it’s possible for yourself too.
P.S. I’ll let you know when I hit the big jackpot!
Good luck!

I was just browsing through some videos at YouTube and saw this one from the Secret. It’s short, but still inspiring - and it goes along with our previous discussion about attracting prosperity, so there you go!
Here’s another one that doesn’t focus on money necessarily, just overall abundance and joy. Very uplifting!

“Hi Wendy,
I’ve been practicing Law of Attraction techniques for a couple years now, and I’ve always seen great results through the power of positive thinking. However, after building up to the life I wanted for my family, and receiving the things I’ve asked for and allowed, it was suddenly taken away a couple weeks ago.
I lost a good-paying job (the most I’ve ever made) because of government budget cuts, and our family is once again back to pinching pennies and living paycheck to paycheck. I’m terribly depressed to have lost this standard of living, and can’t help but have a very negative attitude about money right now.
How do I remain positive and turn my thoughts back around to “It will all work out,” when it was working out just fine one day, and not the next? I should mention our family life is not in the toilet, but I nonetheless cannot get the thought out of my head that we will forever be struggling financially (like before this job I lost).
Thanks, Wendy! I know you will know just the right words to say to get my mind “out of the gutter.”
– Diane
I am so GLAD Diane asked this question! And what a perfect way to put it - “get my mind out of the gutter.”
This post is going to be like a “Law of Attraction Emergency Finance Strategies 101″ primer!
First, let me set the scene. Imagine that you are standing at a crossroads right now. There are two paths leading off from where you are. One leads to abundance and joy, and the other leads to lack and fear. Which one will you choose? (Yeah, it’s easy for me to SAY that, right? )
But seriously, it IS that simple. As simple as focusing on what you WANT, rather than what you DON’T WANT. Inside your mind right now, you’ve got two things happening: niggling fears about what the future will bring, and a glimmer of hope that it might be something good. Which of these two possibilities manifests depends on the direction your thoughts take from this moment on.
So, how do you choose? Here’s what I’ve done in my own life, and continue to do to this day:
1) First, decide what you really want.
Right now you’re feeling uncertain about the future, so you’ve got negative thoughts popping up in your mind, like “How will we cover the bills? What are we going to do? What if we fall behind?” Those types of thoughts can only lead to lack and struggle (what you DON’T want). Instead, come up with a vision of something you really DO WANT.
If you could choose anything you wanted right now, what would it be? How much money would you have in the bank? How much income would you have monthly? Don’t worry about “how” this will all come about; just decide what your final outcome will look like.
Print the Secret check and fill in the amount of money you’d like to have in the near future. You can use it for a one-time lump sum, or for ongoing monthly income. (I do both for myself! )
2) Put your trust in the universe.
Once you have the check(s) filled in, hold it/them in your hands and say to the universe, “I don’t know how this might be possible, but I believe in my heart that you will guide me to creating a secure, abundant and happy lifestyle for me and my family. Thank you!”
Then take a few minutes to close your eyes and imagine what this lifestyle would look like. See yourself and your family being happy and abundant, being able to take vacations, cover the bills with ease, etc. Really get into this vision and FEEL the feelings of such a reality. Do this for as long as you like, but try to stay with it for at least 10-15 minutes.
Then set the check(s) aside and let go of the whole situation. Just trust that the universe is working on your behalf. Act as if you “KNOW” that it’s all going to work out perfectly. (For example, how would you feel if you found out that you had won the lottery or received an inheritance and you’d have the money within a month? You’d be confident that your financial situation was stable, right? Even before you have the money in your hands, you just KNOW that it’s okay. Adopt that SAME ATTITUDE NOW!)
Then, be sure to do this whole visualization exercise while holding the check(s) every day! Even 2 or 3 times a day if you can. The more you can place yourself into that state of inner abundance, the more quickly it will manifest as outer abundance.
3) Absolutely, definitely, and adamantly REFUSE to let negative fears take root!
When your mind is swirling with fear and doubt, it’s so easy to let them take over your focus but doing so only lends energy to the very thing you fear. You really have to develop a sense of mental discipline and firmly shift your focus AWAY from thoughts like these. This will be an ongoing process every day, and it will take a bit of inner awareness.
When you notice that you’re starting to think negatively or worry about money, IMMEDIATELY take action to turn those thoughts around! Say to yourself (mentally or out loud) “STOP!” And then consciously choose to move your thoughts in a better direction.
You can even make a fun game out of this. Here’s what I do: When I notice that I’m starting to think negatively about money or anything else, I say good naturedly, “Hey, wait a minute! No negative thoughts allowed! Nice try guys, better luck next time…” and then I imagine myself swatting them on the behind as I shoo them out of my mind. LOL Then I turn around the thoughts I was just thinking to something more positive. Example: If I catch myself thinking, “We can’t afford to buy that right now . . .” I push those thoughts out and say, “We always have more than enough money for everything we need. The universe will provide, I know it! Thank you!”
It sounds really simple, but it works. It moves you into a more abundant state of mind, even though your outer circumstances aren’t quite showing it yet. But the more you do this, the more you’ll see amazing things happening on the outer level, which will only keep reinforcing your positive beliefs.
4) Use the power of gratitude.
One of the most powerful things I do is use the power of gratitude. To go back to the example I used earlier, how would you feel if you KNEW your financial situation was going to be okay very soon? If you knew a large sum of money was coming into your hands shortly, how would you feel on a daily basis? You’d feel happy, relieved, and GRATEFUL. You’d be saying to the universe over and over again, “Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!!” Well, start saying that NOW.
Pretend that your prayers have already been answered. KNOW that money is on its way to you, and express your deep gratitude for it.
A few months ago I wrote an article about the awesome power of gratitude. Since then, it has become a daily practice for me and I continue to be amazed at how truly powerful it is to banish negativity and fear, as well as attract really GREAT things. Try it! Don’t do it sporadically or halfheartedly though - do it all day long and don’t just say the words, really FEEL the feelings of being appreciative and grateful for what you have now, and the miracles you KNOW are on the way.
5) Take inspired action.
Now that you know what you want, you may wonder “how” to make it all happen. But YOU don’t have to “make” anything happen. The universe is going to make it happen. Your job is to simply stay aware of nudges from the universe, and to take action on them if and when they arrive.
Sometimes, action isn’t even necessary. Other times, it may be. How will you know for sure? By the way you FEEL.
Here’s what you want to avoid. Taking action that doesn’t feel good because you can’t think of any other possible way to achieve your goal. That is NOT inspired action. In fact, that’s where I used to get myself stuck a lot! I used to think it was “all up to me” so I’d take massive action and try to force everything to come about on my own. There’s nothing really wrong with taking massive action, except that I wasn’t TRUSTING the universe to help me! I would burn myself out and be exhausted and frustrated because it was such a struggle to create better circumstances.
It doesn’t have to be hard! In fact, when it comes to the Law of Attraction, it shouldn’t be hard.
Instead, you want to be on the lookout for FUN, EASY, and INSPIRING ways of taking action. If a possibility feels exciting and interesting, it’s a good choice. If not, it’s not.
When you do receive an inspired action and you begin moving forward on it, just have FUN with it. Don’t worry about how it will all work out. Don’t focus on achieving a specific outcome - just let go, have fun and let the universe work with you. This may be easier said than done, but the more you do it, the more you’ll begin to see absolute miracles taking place.
***********************
Okay, so here’s a recap of the steps:
1) Decide what you really want. Be specific!
Don’t settle for what you think you can get - form a clear picture of exactly what you WANT.
2) Trust and KNOW that the universe is forming it.
Visualize this new situation and adopt the attitude that it’s already yours, right NOW.
3) Banish negative thoughts and choose positive thoughts.
Refuse to get sucked into fear-based thoughts. Shoo them right out of your mind, and consciously choose to think about ONLY things you WANT to happen.
4) Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
Be grateful for the things you have now, and the great things you know are on the way.
5) Take inspired action.
Only act on things that feel good and inspiring. Don’t use action as a way to “force” something to happen; let the universe do the bulk of the work, but take action on any little nudges you get.
That’s it! Easy, right?
As a side note, let me say that I also happen to have some inside knowledge of Diane’s situation because we’ve been chatting privately by email - and she recently told me that she felt like her creative self was “dying” because of that job. Between work and family responsibilities, she didn’t have time for her true passion, which has always been writing. She’s a FANTASTIC WRITER! She’s got major talent. And if I can be blunt with my own opinion here, that talent was being “wasted” at her former job.
That leads me to believe strongly that a deeper part of Diane has actually created this new start for herself. Maybe not 100% intentionally - but that deeper part of her wanted something MORE, and knew that she was CAPABLE of having more. She knew she was up to the challenge of spinning this situation into a bonafide miracle for herself and her family. I do believe that!
So, Diane (and anyone else who may find themselves at a similar crossroads), TRUST the forces that brought you to this place and time. BELIEVE that you can choose what happens next. Take a little while to figure out what you really want, and then INTEND it with all your might. EXPECT it to happen. LET GO of trying to make it happen on your own, and instead allow the universe to guide your every step. BELIEVE that it’s all going to work out exactly as you envision.
BE HAPPY, FEEL GOOD and ALLOW!

Lately I’ve been studying Ho’oponopono - the ancient Hawaiian method of “cleaning” energy to resolve problems and blockages. Dr. Joe Vitale’s latest book, “Zero Limits” is about this method.
I haven’t been working with it for too long, but already I can see some interesting things happening. For one, whenever I recite the phrases that activate this method (I’m sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you), I feel an instant “lightening” of the atmosphere around me. Like a raise in vibration. I’m really sensitive to “energy” anyway, so maybe not everyone feels it like I do.
But even more interesting is the way things just come to me when I do this - and I mean totally effortlessly and quickly! The more I work with these techniques, the more I feel like I’m “purging” a lot of junk from my consciousness. Even my dreams have been wild and turbulent, which sounds like a bad thing, but it feels very much like a “burning off” process, like I’m clearing out stuff that’s been stuck in there for decades.
I’ll be writing more about this process in the future, but today I just wanted to share a wonderful article from Joe Vitale. It highlights one simple thing you can do to increase sales in your business - or, in my opinion, it can help boost the success of anything you do.
By the way, one thing I love about this Ho’oponopono process is that it sounds so WACKY and “out there” - it really forces us to suspend disbelief and be willing to keep an open mind. Keep that in mind as you read the article below.
A “Crazy” New Way to Increase Sales– from Zeroby Dr. Joe Vitale
www.mrfire.comIn my new book, “Zero Limits,” I talk about the unusual therapist who helped heal an entire hospital ward of mentally ill criminals –without seeing any of them.
I’ve since learned his method for healing, which involves “cleaning” yourself of all negativity in order to see change in others.
It seems bizarre, but when you take care of your own issues, they disappear in other people.
The whole idea is to love the problems away. You do it by saying “I love you,” and a few other statements, non-stop. I’ve been doing it for two years now and my life is astonishing. I live in an almost moment-by-moment state of bliss.
Once I learned this method, I started to use it on other things besides illness. Since I’m a
practical metaphysician and an entrepreneur, I wanted to see if this wild method would work on sales and other bottom line results.
Whenever I would write an article — much like this one — I would send love into it.
Whenever I would write another book — like my new one, “Zero Limits” — I would keep saying “I love you” in my mind.
What I noticed is my emails and articles would get read and distributed to *millions* of people.
And my book, “Zero Limits” became an Amazon bestseller — six months *before* it was published.
But I didn’t stop there in my testing.
Because I want to be sure this method works for others and not just me, I taught it to my
close friends.
Bill Hibbler, coauthor with me of the book “Meet and Grow Rich,” was skeptical. But he
borrowed a pre-publication copy of my book, “Zero Limits,” read it, and started loving his products and his list of subscribers. Here’s what he said:
“Sales for Jan 1-4 were 41.39% higher than Dec 1-4. During the four day period in January, I didn’t mail my list or launch any new promotion during that time. All I did was clean while reading your book and throughout the day.”
Bill went on to tell me he saw sales increase from sites like http://create-ultimate-ebooks.com/ — which he wasn’t promoting *at all*.
How is this possible?
How can “cleaning” yourself with a mantra like “I love you” make a difference in your sales?
It appears that there is nothing “out there.” The entire world is a projection of what you feel inside.
So, if you feel love, you will attract love. Because love contains gratitude, you attract more things to be grateful for. This is the essence of my book, “The Attractor Factor,” and of course of the movie, “The Secret.”
You get what you feel.
That’s it.
At heart I think you (I) just want love. Well, so does everyone else. When you say “I love you” inside yourself, you cleanse yourself and you radiate an energy that others feel.
The result: more sales.
Still skeptical?
Look at it this way:
Even if this whole method seems totally crazy to you, what harm can come from you saying “I love you” in your mind as you make calls, write emails, deliver pitches, and go about your day?
If nothing else, you’ll have better feeling days.
Try it and see.
By the way, “I love you”.

I love today’s Daily Quote by Abraham-Hicks!
Make peace with outrageous abundance. You are more likely to have a pure vibration and attract more abundance if you leave money out of the equation. But it isn’t because money is the “root of all evil.” It’s because it messes up your vibration, usually. Excerpted from a workshop in San Francisco, CA on Sunday, February 27th, 2005
————————
I sooooo much agree about money “messing up” your vibration! In my opinion, it’s because money carries such heavy emotional weight. When we have money, we’re happy - even exhilarated. When we don’t have it, we’re miserable, hollow, and empty. (Not always, but usually.)
Even worse though, is the way money becomes a substitution for everything else we want. If we want to live a more peaceful life, we think having a lot of money will do that for us. If we want more freedom, ditto. If we want a newer car, ditto. What’s so funny is that if we took “money” out of the equation and focused on attracting the underlying ESSENCE of what we really want, we’d probably have an easier time attracting it.
In fact, let’s try an experiment and see what happens:
- Rather than attracting the MONEY to buy a new car or house, try focusing only on the car or house.
- Rather than believing that MONEY will help you create a more comfortable lifestyle, try creating more comfort and ease in your current lifestyle.
- Rather than trying to ATTRACT more money now, put yourself into a place of already having everything you need. Immerse yourself in feelings of peace, happiness, gratitude and passion. You’ve already got everything you need, so what would you like to spend most of your time doing?
These questions have a lot of underlying concepts that are well worth exploring!

I got an email from a woman who purchased my Law of Attraction: Step by Step ebook, and she wanted some advice on how to attract her dream. Her dream is to win the lottery so she can quit her job and focus on her family. She’s not alone! That is a VERY common intention for many people - especially when they first learn about the Law of Attraction.
Below was the answer I sent back to her:
I’m glad you asked me about this stuff because I cherish the opportunity to save you a lot of wasted time and heartache!! Don’t take that the wrong way, because so many people start off the same way. You hear that you can “create your reality” and it seems like winning the lottery could be part of that - but focusing only on the lottery just creates a logjam of energy!
Now, it’s definitely possible to win the lottery, many people have done it. However, I would recommend not focusing on that alone. If you want to do some visualizations of yourself winning, focusing on how great it will feel, and so on, go right ahead! You’re generating positive energy and that’s a good thing.
But, at the same time, don’t be hooked on the idea of winning - be open to smaller amounts coming in different ways too. Imagine if the universe has this awesome way of sending you thousands of dollars a year, and you turn it down because it isn’t millions? I know you wouldn’t do that purposely, but that’s the message you send when you focus only on one big amount coming in one specific way.
Here’s what I recommend:
1) First, definitely keep up the gratitude mind-set and feeling like you’ve got tons of money as often as you can. Generate the feeling of having millions, but not just millions - rather a constant stream of abundance flowing through your life. Feel like you would feel if you had exactly that already and money was no longer a concern: happy, excited, free, confident, peaceful, prosperous, grateful, etc.
2) Tell the universe what your true desire is (you’ve already told me it’s total financial freedom) - but let the universe decide how it will happen. Ask to be shown a way to create this financial independence if there’s something you can do, or otherwise, just know that it’s on the way!
3) When you do play the lottery, you MUST be completely detached from whether you win or not. The absolute worst thing you can do is get upset, frustrated or angry when you don’t win. If it helps, say something like this to the universe when you buy tickets: “It would be so wonderful to win this jackpot! But I am open to any and all abundance that you want to send my way, and I trust that you are working for my highest good, always.” That way you are affirming that your abundance is not dependent upon a winning lottery ticket. When you don’t win and you see that someone else did, bless them. Flow feelings of love and happiness toward them, and be truly grateful for their good fortune, just like you would want others to be for you.
4) You mentioned your second dream of writing for a living - but you also said it’s not what you really want. Is that because you don’t really like writing, or because you’d rather win the lottery? In other words, if you didn’t need the money, would you still be writing for fun? If not, then writing is not the way to go.
5) Finally, be OPEN to inspiration! I can’t stress it enough, but your dream may not come the way you expect it to come. In fact, plenty of times the universe will blow your mind at the complex ways it can orchestrate things! In fact, I want you to be open to something else too. I know you said you want that big lump sum of money so you can quit your job and be a wife and mother — but what if the universe has something really important for you to do, something that would bring in tons of money to your household, something that you would LOVE doing and feel extremely passionate about, and something that was flexible enough to still allow you plenty of time with your family? Would you be adverse to that?
My point is, YOU believe that the best way to make your dream come true is by winning a large sum of money, but the universe has some amazing tricks up its sleeve and it might end up giving you something that fulfills you even more than your original dream. So, be willing to wait and see what happens - it might be something a thousand times better than what you planned!
Oh, one more point! If you feel a sudden urge to do something, pay attention to that. Inspired actions don’t always appear to be what you’ve been waiting for, sometimes it seems like it would be totally unrelated to what you want, but then it either leads the way to what you want or it ends up turning into something better shortly afterwards. So if you feel a nudge to do something specific and you get excited by the idea, go ahead and do it even if it seems like it wouldn’t help your dream along immediately. Hope that makes sense.
I’ve given you a lot to digest, but let me tell you a little secret. The number-one thing you can do to make the biggest difference in your life is to FEEL like you’ve already got what you want, as often as possible. Be happy, be grateful, and be at peace. If you can do that on a regular basis, everything else is going to flow so EASILY you’ll be amazed. Really. It’s what’s made the biggest difference in my life. The Law of Attraction is supposed to be easy to use - if you find yourself struggling, you’re working too hard at it! Just relax, have fun and let it all FLOW.
