How a Secret Word Changed My Life


What I'm about to share with you took me YEARS to figure out. Several agonizing, grueling years that I'll never get back! What I discovered has changed my life (and hundreds of others' lives) around.

Here's my story: Just 3 years ago, I owed over 50k in debt after my business venture failed. I was in a very dark place. I was absolute miserable. I had no money, no friends to turn to for support. I'm not kidding when I say suicidal thoughts were crossing my mind.

Fast forward to today, I made over 500k in the last 2 years but I don't even have a job (and it all began with a seed I planted in my mind!)

So, how did I finally do it?

My formula is simple, I call it the Miracle Mind Method.

First, I tapped into the power of my subconscious for an idea to make money.

Let me explain. You see, I struggled for years trying to make money in my business. Nothing seemed to work but I was working 12, sometimes 14 hours a day! I wasn't looking to get rich quick… I was willing to work and do whatever it took.

Yet I failed miserably.

Why? Because I did not have the right idea!

So I gave my subconscious mind a crystal clear target to hit by constantly repeating a "secret word" out loud and silently to myself.

This is the absolute truth: I cannot account for any other thing that I may have done to change what I thought except for one thing: I constantly repeated the "secret word" day and night, silently and out loud for several days.

On or about the 3rd day after repeating the "secret word" non-stop, I had an idea that catapulted my business from doing $1,000 a month or less to $10,000 the first month I put the idea into action!

Since then I have never made less them $10,000 a month in my business and I have had many months in which I've made $40,000, $50,000 even $70,000 – in one month!

Now even though this course is not about making money, I cannot attribute the change that occurred INSIDE ME to anything else except the constant repetition of the "secret word"

I had plenty of desire to succeed before I started using this technique, and I had more than enough motivation – I was heavily in debt and had a family to care for!

I didn't change my diet... I didn't do anything different for those 3 days than I normally did.

But what I did not have was any idea how I was going to make more money...
… until I used the "secret word".

Now, if you're skeptical let me say this:

I think that the key to why this worked was because it focused my mind on what I wanted so intensely that it forced me to come up with an innovative idea. It really worked like nothing else I have ever tried.

And even if you don't believe my explanation why it worked, it will still work for you! That's the great thing – you don't even have to believe it will work!

Why? Because it's just like turning on the engine in a car – you don't need to see or understand the miracle of automotive engineering or know how it works in order to drive it! You just put the key in, turn it and start moving!

It's the same thing with the Miracle Mind Method - there's a lot under the hood going on but you don't need to know how it works to take it for a test drive and experience the benefits and results!

It has made a tremendous difference in my life, and I hope it does the same for you.

Are you ready to make a change in your life?

Are you ready to get that right idea?

Two Magic Words


Spiritual masters say that enlightenment can happen in an instant or like the blooming of a lotus flower. The same can be said of realizations, and learning.

As you read a book on any subject you will have moments that you stop reading just long enough to say "Ah ha!" or "Wow, that's how that works" or "that's why that happens!"

When you first look at a new math equation and it makes no sense, then later after you learn the process, you can look at the same equation again and you not only understand it you can solve it.

The point I am trying to make is this: There is a point where something is gained from any knowledge. First you are ignorant, and then you inquire, next you realize, now you have the power of that knowledge and can apply it to your world.

People will sell you courses and charge you thousands of dollars to beat around the bush and flush out the truth I am about to tell you.

I have used this method that consists of only 2 words to create anything I want usually within 24 hours if not instantly.

I have told these words to very few close friends, accompanied with the warning "Be careful what you wish for…"

There is only one guideline when using these key words and I will get to that immediately after I tell you what these words are.

All you have to do is know what you want to make this work.

I Command!
Then put it in this sentence: I Command – (Then just state whatever you want)

I know it sounds too simple. Your disbelief in this might actually aid in its power.

You remain detached from the outcome because it just sounds too easy "This couldn't possibly work, I've tried everything" – your mind will say.

Good. What can it hurt to seriously give this a try?

"I Command" all day, everyday and I have come to realize the power I have over the outcome of my life. So have those I have told these words to through their own experiences with it.

Of course your mind may just dismiss the acquisition of your desires as coincidental. But does it really matter? After all you got what you wanted and never worried about how.

If you honestly begin to use this take into consideration that this command once made is not concerned about the how it will happen. The power will just take the shortest possible path to accomplishment.

All things great and small are possible when you use the words "I Command", but whatever they are be prepared. Of course you can always change what you want if you realize it's not what you thought it would be. It is never too late in this world and nothing is final.

The only thing constant in this world is change. You can either be conscious of your creating or dragged along oblivious to it.

There is only one rule.

One limitation and this is important if you truly want to apply this knowledge. "You cannot command something for or concerning someone else."

Such as: "I command so-and-so to fall in love with me" instead use- "I command my true love to make himself known to me"

That's it. These words are yet to fail and you can command anything within the realm of your imagination – nothing is impossible. All you have to do is command, and then look for the command to be fulfilled.

Now with everything I have noticed there is an evolution that happens after the "I Command" has proven itself to you. More and more all you have to do is clearly know what you want. Soon the verbal commands aren't even nessesary. I hope you have read something here that helps you. If you apply it be prepared to get what you want. Just be ready for the change.

8 Ways to Optimize your Life!…


1. Do more of what you love & enJOY yourself!

Obvious as is, how often do you really allow yourself to a) have a good ponder on what it is you really LOVE, or would love, to do, and b) schedule that into your diary.

Make a ‘joy-list’ of all that brings you joy, including the little things, be that your favourite breakfast, favourite flowers or spot in nature, and start adding more of those things into your life. (Obviously if your favourite breakfast is a huge greasy fry up, it might be best to avoid making that a daily habit!)

Doing more of what you love and that which makes your heart sing will raise your vibration naturally, and through that alone, help you attract happier, more positive successful realities and opportunities into your life.

Make joy a priority and get creative about ways to experience it. As you commit to joy and make that intention, the universe will respond. Be open to joyful opportunities coming your way, and of course, get about creating them!

Fun and joy are antidotes to stress, struggle, sacrifice, tediousness and seriousness.

When you experience the playful celebration of life you actively give both to yourself and others and are open to sharing more of who you are and riding the current of spontaneity and joy.

Don’t wait for joy or put it out there in your future. Bring it into your now! Joy is so much of the success your heart is seeking.

If you don’t enjoy the journey, chances are you won’t enjoy the destination. Start having fun NOW!”

Beyond ‘doing’, joy comes out of your state of being – it is your true nature! When you let go of more of what you’re not – negative self-beliefs, constricting emotions and un-serving patterns and stories – you experience more of the fountain of joy you truly are!

2. Giving and Receiving

Giving is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, and opens you to greater receiving, for both are inextricably linked. Each gives birth to the other; if you don’t receive, for example, you deny someone their giving.

Some of the greatest gifts are giving of WHO YOU ARE – your love, light, joy, presence, energy, attention, well wishes, inspiration, support, and listening, for example. Just being happy in itself can be a wonderful gift to people in your life!

Start your day asking and intending to be of service in some way. I am not talking about sacrificing yourself or being a martyr, or acting out of obligation, but to genuinely hold the intention of ‘how may I serve today in a way that is for the highest good of all’. Perhaps it is to smile at a stranger, listen more, call a friend, or express more care and acts of kindness.

Receiving, the other side of the coin, is a powerful ally for manifesting ANYTHING in your life!

Receiving acts as a gateway through which the universe can bless your life with more love, synchronicities, serendipities and opportunities. The more you allow yourself to receive, the more bountiful your attraction and reality becomes.

People can have blocks around receiving due to a lot of miss-connotations, beliefs, and fears, some of which are akin to those around love.

I’m not referring to receiving physical gifts here so much, but to emotional and mental ones – gifts of love, appreciation, caring, opportunities that come your way, joy, compliments, and so on. Do you really allow yourself to let these gifts in from others? And to let in the gift of life itself – it’s wonder, beauty, and magic? Gifts from others go to waste when they are not received (I’ll cover more on receiving shortly).

I offer a free ebook on receiving as part of the ‘Love Pack’ you can receive at this page on this site, called “The Magic of Receiving” if you want to experience more of this energy in your daily life.

Consciously open to receive. Make it your intention. Affirm it as a choice. Imagine your desires flowing to you. Imagine yourself receiving the love, success, abundance, joy, fun, and happiness you desire.

Practice receiving in all areas of your life, whether it’s compliments, gifts, the experience of another, the beauty of nature. When you appreciate something and are grateful for it, you allow it in, you receive it.

Life doesn’t have to be a struggle. Ask for help when you need it. Choose partnership. Be courageous enough to be vulnerable, to receive, to be open. When you try to do everything on your own, you will burn out and become exhausted.

Ask the universe for help regularly and be open to receive that in whatever form it takes.

3. Meditation

Meditating daily, even for just 5 or 10 minutes in the morning or evening, has numerous benefits, many of which are now scientifically proven, from reduced stress to anti-aging benefits.

Even more profound are the mental, emotional and spiritual benefits of meditation, and it is these that I believe filter down resulting in physically observed health shifts.

Creating the space to still your mind and open to more of your truer self – the magnificent spiritual being that you are beyond your personality self, allows more love, light and higher wisdom to be integrated into your being.

Meditation is a gateway between worlds and allows you to experiences expanded states of consciousness beyond the limits of your conscious mind and everyday awareness.

Meditation and deep relaxation also enable a natural clearing and aligning your energy. Lower frequency energies dissipate and are washed away as higher vibrations imbue your being, which equate to positive thought-feeling states.

There are many different meditation techniques, from guided visualizations, to basic breathing meditations, shamanic journeys, hypnotherapy meditations, and Buddhist meditation practices, for example.

Intend on finding one most suited to you at this time. You might want to explore and try a few.

If you’re unsure where to start, the Buddhist Loving Kindness Meditation, also known as Metta Bhavana, is a beautiful, simple yet powerful meditation to harness loving energy towards positive outcomes for yourself, others and the world.

In short, it involves directing loving, kind feelings fist towards yourself, then to loved ones, acquaintances, strangers, people you may be ‘at odds’ with (e.g. difficult person), and finally, all beings.

I’ll be sharing more on this in a future issue, but if interested, you can search online and find details for now.

4. Visualization

Spending a few minutes putting yourself in the shoes of your brightest future on waking and before sleeping (perhaps as part of your meditation routine), can help to align your energy to your dreams which is key to manifesting them. It will also shift the orientation of your focus and mental and emotional states, raise your vibration, and help to positively ‘re-wire’ your brain.

This daily manifesting routine can be integrated or added along-side your daily meditation.

What’s important with this exercise is not just imagining the sights, sounds, and occurrences that bright future you will be experiencing, but the wonderful, high energy states, and feelings of happiness, joy, love, peace, confidence, freedom, and so on. In this sense, you can think of it essentially as more of a ‘feel-ization’ exercise than a visualization one.

Allow the experience of whatever thoughts and feelings occur and are conjured through the process of imagining yourself in the shoes of your bright future self – the you that has achieved your heart’s desires, not just with regards to physical goals, but the mental and emotional states of being you desire also.

Accessing the energies of these positive thought and feelings states on a regular basis will not only positively transform your energy, but your reality accordingly, for they hold an energetic resonance, a frequency pattern of vibration, that will start attracting equated realities by law of resonance (a.k.a. the Law of Attraction in action).

5. Love and accept yourself

“No amount of self-improvement will make up for a lack of self-acceptance”. ~ Robert Holden.

The more you accept yourself as you are, the more you let go of what you’re not!

Stop self-criticism, self-punishment, and condemnation. Forgive yourself and say no to traps of guilt, for guilt has no redeeming features and serves no one.

You are not your failings, limitations or mistakes. Who you TRULY are is wholly innocent. Let go of negative self-concepts and limiting self-beliefs and come home to the truth of who you are – your goodness, beauty and worth.

Start being more kind and compassionate with yourself. You deserve your love, respect and care. Value yourself and be your own best friend

6. Gratitude

Allow yourself to feel grateful for at least 5 things each morning, and at night before sleeping – either things in general, or specific things that may have happened that day.

Gratitude aligns your energy to that which you love and appreciate and is positive and beautiful in your life, and in such, enhances your mental and emotional state, and magically attracts more of the same into your life. Gratitude also raises your vibration in general which will enables you to attract brighter realities per se, beyond the specific things you feel grateful for.

It’s always good to remember the power of gratitude engage any time your energy drops or you feel stuck in a negative state. Stop and feel gratitude. Experience it as an energy that fills your heart and emanates from you, blessing you and your world.

Gratitude will ALWAYS lift your mood and is a generating energy that attracts more of that which is good and true into your life.

In appreciating and feeling grateful for something or someone, you essentially receive it (the very essence you feel grateful for), as well as give to it from your heart, which effectively aligns your vibration to it, and directs your focus and attention towards it, assisting you in manifesting it.

Gratitude is the sweet song of appreciation and turns an experience, person or event into a gift that is received, for when you appreciate and feel grateful, you literally let the experience/quality in, and you also give to it from your heart. It is a wonderful simultaneous exchange of positive energies.

Whatever you focus on grows, so when you appreciate something, see its value and beauty and feel grateful for it, those qualities expand in your life. Simply put, what you appreciate, appreciates!

When you focus on everything in your life you have to feel grateful for, and all the wonderful things, experiences and people you appreciate, the universe hands you more of the same. It’s a fantastic abundance expanding experience.

You might like to also keep a gratitude journal and write down at the end of each day 10 things you feel grateful for over the last 24 hours to assist you in experiencing more of this wondrous, generative, heart-opening energy of gratitude!

7. Be yourself

Be yourself – it’s why you’re here; there’s only one you! And that you makes more of a difference than you may ever know.

When you go trying to be someone else, you starve the world of who you are – YOU are amazing, whether you realize that or not!

You matter. You are important. You are a vital piece in the beautiful dance of this world. Don’t compromise or lose yourself trying to conform, please or mould yourself into how you think you should or ought to be.

You have come into this life with unique energies, gifts, talents, and potential. People will attract you into their life for a reason, and that reason is about you being who you are.

Be courageous enough to be yourself. It will not only set you on path to truer success in your life, but is the best way you can serve others and your world. Don’t hide yourself or your gifts, or your heart-centred thoughts and feelings.

No, you’re not perfect, and you’re not supposed to be. There are gifts in your imperfections too, so be yourself, you’re the only one qualified

Dare to be unique, dare to be you, dare to shine your colours, beautiful and true!

8. Love

Love yourself and others. There may be times this is easier than others, but make it your overriding intention. Love lies at the heart of all that you seek, and separation from it at the root of your trouble and pain.

Let love be a guiding light in your life that will steer your ship ever to the shore of happiness and joy. We all love to love and be loved. It doesn’t get better than that!

Love is the highest vibration in the universe. The more you love yourself and others, the happier, brighter and more successful your life will become.

Love yourself and loving others becomes easier, as well as receiving that love from others.

And know you are loved. You are loved by people in your world, and totally and unconditionally by your Higher Self (see blog post “Who You Really Are!” at this link), and the source of creation, whatever name you hold for that.

There is nothing you need do to win that love and nothing you can do to lose it. Becoming aware of this truth connects you to your inherent value, increases your sense of worth and deserving, heals pain of separation and loneliness and opens you to the love that is there for you in every moment.

6 Business Start Up Tips For Ultimate Success


You have a great idea and are ready to begin building your business, but how do you know where to start? What are the first steps that you should take? Below are a few tips to get you started in the right direction.

Have a Plan & Work That Plan
The first step toward starting a business is to have a plan in place. Most successful businesses take the time to make sure they have a blueprint to success, a plan. When you have a blueprint and a direction to go, you will be so much more successful. There are many free resources across the Internet that can aid you in structuring and thinking through the writing of your business plan. Once you get the plan in place, follow it!

Don’t Try To Do It All Yourself
A wise business owner knows that they can’t do it alone. Even if you have a small budget to begin with, you can enlist the help of a virtual assistant or possibly volunteers or mentors. Get more on board who have experience that can help you in your business.

Know Your Audience (and why they would be interested in your products or services)
Who are you trying to reach? Who needs your product or information? Take the time to do market research and list out who you are selling to and where you can find them - both online and offline. This will help you both when creating the product/service and in your marketing efforts. Also, make sure you keep in touch with your audience and find out how they feel. You can easily create surveys and find out valuable information about what they really think.

Be Clear On Your Rates
You must be clear not only with potential clients, but you must know for yourself what you need to earn. Be brutally honest with yourself about how much you need to earn to keep your business afloat. Now set realistic goals and figure out how to make that happen. Remember in setting your rates that often times you are selling the value of your services or products, and not necessarily the service or product itself.

You Gotta Want It
Someone asked me once why I thought some entrepreneurs succeeded while others, just as talented, failed. My answer? Those that succeeded wanted it bad enough to do whatever it took to make it happen. Running a business isn’t easy, especially in the beginning. There will be long hours, tough critics and disappointments that can’t be prepared for. The entrepreneur who works through the tough times is the one who succeeds in the end.

Get Busy
Don’t wait until you “have it all together” to take that first step - it will never happen. If you have a great idea and have done enough planning to know where you’re headed, go for it. Be prepared to learn some lessons. Be prepared to make changes along the way. But, if you never take the first step you’ll never know the joy of the journey.

How Professional Speakers Control Their Stage Fright


Whether you're standing in front of an audience for the very first time or have been giving public speeches for years, stage fright is something you'll have to deal with. Read what several professional speakers say about managing stage fright.

When you watch professional speakers in action, several questions might come to mind: How do they rely on notes so rarely? Do they have photographic memories? How do they give the same material repeatedly, yet keep their initial enthusiasm?

However, the question you’ll be most likely to ask is: Do professional speakers experience stage fright, just like business and civic leaders do when they face audiences—and if so, how do they control their stage fright, and speak with such obvious confidence and poise?

Here’s how several highly respected professionals responded to that question:

Terry Brock, based in Orlando, Florida, advises: “Focus on the audience. This is the most important step. If I focus on them and their needs, I do much better. If I think about myself I don’t do as well.”

Terry’s advice is absolutely on target. Thinking mostly about yourself in the speaking situation means that every potential distraction will lower your confidence level. When an audience member yawns or checks her watch, you’ll assume you are failing to connect with everybody. Yet focusing on the audience allows you to put distractions in proper perspective. A couple of people fidgeted—so what? You’ll recapture their attention as you speak passionately about your topic, which totally consumes you from your first sentence onward.

Philip Van Hooser of Princeton, Kentucky, arrives early “to mix and mingle,” so he will “make connections with the audience members before I take the stage.”

Think about that approach. Which is easier—talking to strangers, or talking to acquaintances? Almost unanimously, we prefer speaking to somebody we have met. As Van Hooser puts it, we have made a connection. So whenever you can get there a half hour ahead to introduce yourself to participants as they enter the building, you will reduce your anxiety. When you stand to speak, you will have a dozen or so people who know you already and await your message eagerly.

Port Washington, Wisconsin’s Joan Stewart says, “I tell myself that if I’m nervous, I’m supposed to be. Johnny Carson revealed during numerous interviews that almost every night before he was introduced, he was a bundle of nerves and had terrible stage fright.”

In short, there’s no reason to feel unusual or weird because you’re nervous about your presentation. Did you know that Barbra Streisand and Carly Simon avoided live audiences for years because they feared rejection, and confined their singing to recording studios? Even the renowned actor Laurence Olivier took an extended leave from the stage, fearful that he would forget his lines. Clearly, stage fright challenges even the most famous and talented performers. You’re not alone, and like them you still have immense talent to share with audiences.

From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Jeff Mowatt reports that he comforts himself by realizing that “even though I may feel nervous, it doesn’t show.”

Yes, your stomach is rumbling, your mouth seems parched, you’re a bit unsteady on your knees, and you’re perspiring more than usual. Fortunately, these situational responses remain private, unless you make the mistake of calling attention to them—which even novice speakers learn not to do. Truly, here’s where using video to record and then analyze your speeches becomes reassuring. When you see yourself as the audience saw you, you will get confirmation that your nervous symptoms are internal, not external.

Responding from Stevensville, Michigan, Susan Wilson suggests: “Practice in your daily speaking what you need for success when giving a speech—eye contact, confident posture, smooth and strong voice, abdominal breathing, personal warmth.”

That’s a fresh, helpful slant on preparation, because most speech coaches recommend repeated rehearsals of your speech’s content, quite formally. Wilson, though, proposes additional, informal preparation through animated conversation. Following this suggestion, you will have to change your delivery very little when you face an audience—possible only increasing your volume.

Doug Smart, from Atlanta, Georgia, mentions: “I know exactly what I am going to say for the first 2 to 3 minutes.”

Other accomplished speakers would endorse that approach. After all, if you don’t capture your audience’s attention within the first three minutes, you have little chance of engaging them after that. Additionally, an energetic, confident start lets you know you are in control. Justifiably, you become optimistic about the remainder of your speech.

Chicago’s Christine Corelli puts her leading recommendation succinctly: “Positive self-talk.”

Specifically, we should repeat to ourselves silently: “This audience is hosting me because they consider me an authority on this topic. Not only that, the group has expressed strong interest in my content. And although I am keyed up for the occasion, with all the positive feedback I have heard after many other speeches to top-tier groups, I know I will succeed again this time. In fact, I can hardly wait until the introduction ends, so I can share valuable information with the audience.”

In summary: Though professional speakers continue to face some degree of apprehension with every speaking engagement, they have found thought patterns and actions that will work for other professional leaders as well. Try the ones we have considered, and you will welcome a new plateau of calm confidence with your next speaking opportunity.

Creative Cash Flow Strategies for Small Business


Managing cash flow is a big challenge for many small businesses. As a small business owner, you have ongoing expenses such as salaries (including your own), payroll taxes, rent and utilities and loan or credit card payments – expenses and bills that you have to pay on time to keep your business open and maintain your credit. But you also may have times when sales are slow and existing customers are even slower to pay. How do you make it happen? Here are 11 creative cash flow strategies to bolster your business

Set a minimum transaction amount for invoicing.

If you sell a variety of products, you may have some customers who want to be billed even though they're making a small, one-time purchase. If you get many requests to bill for small purchases, consider establishing a policy that all orders under a certain amount of money must be paid for at the time of purchase. You speed cash flow by getting your money up front, and you save on the labor cost for invoicing and following up when an invoice isn't paid.

Offer a discount for prepayment. Surprisingly, this can work in many industries. A dry cleaner near our office offers a small discount per item to customers who pay for their dry cleaning when they drop off their clothes (instead of paying when they pick them up.) Landscapers and tree sprayers often send out promotions offering past customers a service contract and discount for payment in advance. We've even used this tactic selling advertising to long-term site sponsors.

Suggest related purchases

It's a lot easier to get a customer to make a second purchase after they have already committed to the first one. This works as well for service businesses, incidentally, as it does for retailers. Did you customer want a teleseminar transcribed? Would they also like that transcript formatted and uploaded to their website (for an extra fee)? Do any of your tree-spraying customer have pets? Would they like you to spray the grounds for ticks while you're there?

Mobilize your credit card processing capability

If you are a repair person or other service provider who performs your services at your customers' locations, or if you sell at tradeshows, fairs, house parties or other mobile locations, get your customers to pay on the spot with their credit card. New devices and software that work with smart phone make this easy and practical for many small businesses.

Be willing to accept ACH payments

In our business we've had a number of our larger, repeat customers asking permission to transfer payments directly to our bank account. At first I was hesitant. With all the security breaches reported in the news, giving out banking information seemed risky. I mentioned my fear to the branch manager where I bank, and she had a good suggestion: to limit the risk, set up a separate bank account with a very small amount of cash and use it to receive those incoming ACH payments. Once a payment clears, transfer that amount of money out of the second account and into the main business account.

Reduce your costs of doing business

Look at your regular expenditures and see how you could reduce them. Could you significantly lower costs by purchasing a voice and Internet access package from a different vendor? Can you renegotiate your lease? Or if your lease will be up soon, have you shopped around for lower-cost office space?

Contact former customers

Are there any customers who were good customers, but haven't ordered lately? Contact them to remind them about your products or services. If possible, call to verify that the contact person, phone and mailing address are still the same. Find out if they still buy what you sell. Or, suggest an additional product to them.

Check credit ratings

To improve your chances of getting paid (and getting paid on time) check the credit rating of new customers who place large orders.

Do not extend credit to businesses or individuals who show up as risky on the credit check.

If a company has a history of paying very late, has tax liens or multiple problems listed on their report you need to get paid up front.

Put established customers on pay-in-in advance status if they've filed for bankruptcy, even if they've "emerged. Emerging from a bankruptcy doesn't mean the company is definitely back on sound financial footing. If the company's creditor turn tail and run again, you may never get paid. Then, you'd be out any inventory and labor costs you incurred. Yes, if you follow this tactic, you might lose the customer. But then again, you might not. Either way, you'll sleep better knowing you aren't going to lose money on a sale.

Sell your receivables to get paid faster

There are various invoice factoring companies that will buy receivables from you for a discount off their face value. You get paid less than you would have if you waited for your customer to pay, but you get the money now, not a month or two from now. Before you go this route, be sure you have a big enough profit margins to make factoring a viable choice and that you're aware of all the costs and any other ramifications of factoring your invoices. Then shop around to find the best factor for your company to work with.

10 Steps to Manifesting Anything



1. Pick one object that you would like to manifest into the physical plane. Start small, and as your powers of focus and concentration increase, move onto larger objects. At first, you will be fighting against your left-brained "ego" which is hard-wired into your mind-pattern that tells you these things are not possible... you don't create your reality and cannot control it. This is a lie.

2. Write down the statement that calls forth the energy into the container... the words "I COMMAND" are very powerful and similar to giving commands to a computer. Anything after the words "I COMMAND" will create the form in the
likeness of its own image. (for example: "I COMMAND my electricity bill PAID in full before July 31st of this year!" etc.)

3. Now that the Universal Energy is contained, it must be held in place. This is accomplished through focus, concentration and detail. Concentrate and solidify this energy by creating a symbol that represents it. For instance, take your electric bill and mark-out the amount due with a pen or pencil, and write "0.00" just above it. Then place it back into its envelope, and in big letters write, "PAID IN FULL BEFORE JULY 31st!" – This is a symbolic "ceremony" that gives the Universal Energy a definite purpose – to have the electric bill paid before July 31st.

4. The more attention to detail you give, the stronger the force becomes. For this reason, place your symbol in a location where you'll see it and be reminded of your intent, every day. With purpose, your symbol now gains in "intelligence" and begins its descent into the physical.

5. On the page with your command statement, write down as many direct and in-direct benefits you can brainstorm, seeing each of these things come to pass in your mind's eye as you write.

6. Create a perfect scenario of how this manifestation will show up in your life and what you will do as a result of its appearance. Tell a story. Write it down. Make it as detailed and vivid as possible... each new effort brings you another step closer to manifesting your object. (But don't be attached to how it manifests... it may be completely different from your story – but you're giving it "life" and intelligence as you write – thereby strengthening the force to be controlled)

7. Next... write a single question: "What are the possibilities in which this can manifest now?" Be still. Remain quiet, and listen. You will soon pick-up on Thoughts, ideas and theories that will tell you several possible ways the object of your desire can manifest into your life... now. (Remember, energy is not limited by space or time, until controlled and contained!)

8. When the ideas cease and the mind is exhausted of all possible avenues for manifestation to take place,stop. Take the paper and fold until small enough to fit in your wallet, or inside your purse. The concentrated energy of these words
bring greater strength to focus and direct the Universal Energy... the conduit is you. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed through the Mind. Remember – focus, concentration and detail form matter.

9. From this point, allow your symbol to "freeze" the manifestation into existence and remove any remaining or reoccurring negative beliefs to be dissolved by the Light of Reason. This is symbolized by your subconscious as illuminating white-light. You can cast white-light around any negative Thought with the intent to do so, and feel it dissolve back into its pure form. (Here is wisdom: Light Illuminates the Darkness!)

10. Remain completely un-attached to how your manifestation occurs in the physical. Rest assured that through the phenomenon of Synchronicity, your Thought will manifest at the best possible time and place for your greatest benefit... even if you don't understand why in that moment.
