The Law of Attraction- Believe… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 4)

Ok, so now you have a good idea of what you want. What’s the next step? For the Law of Attraction to work, in order to get exactly what you want in life, you have to Believe that whatever you ask for will happen. Believe that it will happen no matter what. It might happen tomorrow or it might happen next month. Just have faith that the Universe is working its magic and you will receive whatever it is you desire as long as you believe.

If it’s a larger house you desire, then believe that you will own a larger house. In fact, picture yourself in that house NOW. Imagine yourself cooking in the gourmet kitchen, swimming in the underground pool, and relaxing in the huge family room. Experience all the emotions of living in your large house NOW.

“You become what you believe”.

Here is an excerpt from Oprah’s commencement address to Wellesley Students back in ’97.

Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe. When I was little girl, Mississippi, growing up on the farm, only Buckwheat as a role model, watching my grandmother boil clothes in a big, iron pot through the screen door, because we didn't have a washing machine and made everything we had. I watched her and realized somehow inside myself, in the spirit of myself, that although this was segregated Mississippi and I was "colored" and female, that my life could be bigger, greater than what I saw. I remember being four or five years old, I certainly couldn't articulate it, but it was a feeling and a feeling that I allowed myself to follow. I allowed myself to follow it because if you were to ask me what is the secret to my success, it is because I understand that there is a power greater than myself, that rules my life and in life if you can be still long enough in all of your endeavors, the good times, the hard times, to connect yourself to the source, I call it God, you can call it whatever you want to, the force, nature, Allah, the power. If you can connect yourself to the source and allow the energy that is your personality, your life force to be connected to the greater force, anything is possible for you. I am proof of that. I think that my life, the fact that I was born where I was born, and the time that I was and have been able to do what I have done speaks to the possibility. Not that I am special, but that it could be done. Hold the highest, grandest vision for yourself. Read the Whole Commencement Address Here.

A little success

If you can't bring yourself to be positive about the big things, then be positive about the little things. That's easy enough to do, and it can make a surprisingly significant difference.

You're not going to solve the world's major problems before bedtime. And yet, you can surely make a little positive progress in your own way, and that can be a big help.

The little annoyances, distractions, challenges and difficulties in your world may seem minor when viewed separately. However, they can all add up to create a major negative drag on your life.

You can easily choose to rid yourself of those little negative influences, one by one. Before long, the positive effect will be dramatic.

If you spend the next few minutes doing nothing except worrying about your problems, you'll just end up even more anxious and worried. If, instead, you spend that same five minutes to overcome a relatively minor problem, you'll end up feeling a little more empowered and in control of your own destiny.

A little bit of success will motivate and inspire you, like nothing else can, to create a little more success, again and again. Soon, you'll discover that those little successes are adding up to a life of big and meaningful achievement.

The Law of Attraction- Ask and You Shall Receive… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 3)

"Ask and you shall receive." Think of yourself as Aladdin and the Universe as the Genie that grants unlimited wishes. Take your desires and put them out there. Tell the Universe exactly what YOU want.

Here are a few of mine:

Universe, since I have tons of experience on the internet and online media, I want my business to be internet related. I want to create websites and make money off of them.

Universe, I am want to learn something new every day either whether it be internet related or personal growth related by reading the newspaper, watching the news, or learning from my peers.

Universe, I will be open and honest with the current guy I am dating. I will enjoy every moment we spend with each other.

Universe, I want to be 20 pounds lighter because I will be excercising 3x a week and eating healthy.

Universe, I want to go on a tropical vacation this year which means I need to save money and lose a few pounds!

The Law of Attraction- Decision… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 2)

The more detail you have with each desire, the better. The Universe will know exactly what you want because you have decided exactly what you want. For instance, if you say to the Universe you want a job, don’t be upset if you end up with just a job. However, if you say, “Universe, I want my dream job to turn into reality. It will be at most a 15 minute commute from where I live. The job will be 9AM-5PM and at exactly 5PM I get to go home not like my current job. I will enjoy working with my co-workers. There is room for growth at this job…” You will be surprised at the results.

Try to create more details for your desires. The more detail your vision has, the better.

Here are a few of mine:

Career:

Desire: I want to be CEO of my own company that makes billions every year.
Decision: Since I have tons of experience on the internet and online media, I want my business to be internet related. I want to create websites and make money off of them. I want to be able to produce at least six figure income from my websites.

Personal:

Desire: I want to learn something new every day.
Decision: I am going to learn something new every day either whether it be internet related or something about personal growth.


Relationships:

Desire: I want to be in a happy & healthy relationship with a smart, intelligent, and caring guy.
Decision: I will be open and honest with the current guy I am dating. I will enjoy every moment we spend with each other.

Health:

Desire: I want to be 20 pounds lighter
Decision: I want to be 20 pounds lighter so I can walk around the beach in a bikini.

Etc:

Desire: I want to go on a tropical vacation this year.
Decision: I want to go on a tropical vacation this in the Caribbean Islands so I can show off my new body.


Tell the Universe exactly what you want!

The Law of Attraction- Desire… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 1)

Look up desire in the dictionary and it will say “an expressed wish; request”. What is it that you request in your life? Tell the Universe. Better yet, write them down. Make lists.
Categorize them: Career, Personal, Relationships, Health, etc.

Here are a few of mine:

Career:

I want to be CEO of my own company that makes billions every year.

Personal:

I wan to learn something new every day.

Relationships:

I want to be in a happy & healthy relationship with a smart, intelligent, and caring guy.

Health:

I want to be 20 pounds lighter

Etc:

I want to go on a tropical vacation this year.

Now after you write down your desires, state them out loud!

Now, print out your desires on a piece of paper. Post them where you can see them on a daily basis!

The first step is knowing what you WANT. Many people out there feel lost and don’t know what exactly it is they are looking for or want in life. These people need to figure out what makes them happy, what motivates them to live life to the fullest. Envision yourself living the life you desire.

What Is the Law of Attraction? A Guide to Receiving Everything you Want In Life

The law of attraction is a theory that states “like attracts like”. Our thoughts create emotions that have vibrations that attract similar vibrations. So, we draw to us whatever we want, think, or feel. The universe will provide to us whatever we focus on, whether it is good or bad.


Desire: What is it you want in life? You need to create a vision of whatever it is you desire? Is it a new job? Is it a new house? A better relationship with your significant other?

Decision: Decide EXACTLY what you want. Be as specific as you can with your desires. Is it a job that brings in six figures? Create a vision of yourself going to a job every day that brings you that kind of money. Is it a five bedroom house, with a two car garage, and an in ground swimming pool? Well imagine yourself living in that type of house. Better yet, go to open houses! Walk around your dream house as if you already live in it. Do you want a better relationship with your significant other? Well, create a vision where you are always happy with your loved one.

Ask: Think of yourself as Aladdin and the Universe as your genie. Ask the universe to give you exactly what you want and you will receive it. Now we all know the story of Aladdin. He is granted three wishes. Here’s the catch, we are granted UNLIMITED wishes. Ask away and you will receive.

Believe: You need to have faith that whatever you ask for you will receive. You might receive whatever you are asking for today, next week, or next year. Just believe that the Universe is working in your favor and you will eventually receive whatever you have asked for.

Work: Ok, you have the vision of exactly what you want, you’ve asked the Universe for “it”, and you believe with all your heart that “it” will become a reality. Now, you have to work for it. For instance, say you have a vision of yourself 10 pounds lighter. Well, you need to take positive action towards that goal. Will eating cake and French fries help you achieve that goal? No. Will going to the gym help you and speed up the process of losing weight? Yes. Take small steps to achieve your goal and you will eventually reach it.

Gratitude: Always be thankful for what you have. Always be thankful to God [or the universe]. For instance, say you want a better job because your current job has long hours and low pay. First, you need to be grateful for whatever you have NOW. Thank God that you HAVE a job. How many people don’t have jobs? Thank God that you have a job that pays your bills and provides food on the table. Be thankful for whatever you have NOW, whether it is good or bad because every instance of your life is merely an experience. Some experiences you will want to repeat over and over again and other you will not.

My first real job was working for a Fortune 500 company with long hours and tons of stress. I would commute to work each day with chest pains and commute back home with stomach pain. The turnover at this job was ridiculous. At least 2 people would quit each week. After a year I could not take it anymore and resigned. I truly hated my experience there. In hindsight, it was probably one of the best learning experiences of my life and a year full of personal growth. From that experience, I knew what type of company I wanted to work for after working for a type of company I learned I would never want to work for again. From that experience, I learned how to treat co-workers with respect after learning how I would never want to be treated in a work environment ever again in my life. I took a year long experience, examined it, and learned from it. I’m thankful for having the opportunity to work there.

Expect: You’ll be surprised as to how difficult it is for people to live in a happy state of expectancy. They always have negative thoughts or live in fear. What happens are those negative thoughts manifest and living in fear prevents them from accomplishing their goals. If this sounds like you, it’s important to change this attitude. You must switch off the negativity and turn on the positive energy. This is your life. IMAGINE the best life you can live. Always EXPECT the best and the best will be given to you.

Cutting Down On Your Expenses = More Money In Your Bank Account (PART 2)

I love food, I love to eat. However, it’s costing me $$$$. I’m trying to cut back on food spending.


Dining Out Less:

One thing about me, I LOVE sushi! There is this sushi place by my house that offers half off sushi Mon – Thurs. It’s great. Fantastic Sushi for half the price! For 2 ppl eating there, I could spend $20 and still have some rolls to take home. Isn’t that great? The downside was I use to eat there at least 2x a week!!! That’s $40 a week!!! That’s $160 a month on sushi!! I’ve cut down going to a sushi restaurant to maybe 2-3 times a month. This saves me at least $120 a month!


Skipping the appetizer:

Something else I use to do was order an appetizer every time I went out to Applebee’s or Cheesecake Factory. That’s $8-$10 on an appetizer alone!! I don’t order appetizer anymore. If I am really hungry then they usually bring out bread anyway. Now I save on money and also save on calories.


Eating before dining out:

Yes, it sounds silly, but eat before you dine out with friends and you will save some money!!!! Now when I go out with friends, I ask if anyone wants to share a platter or I can order a salad and still be full because I already ate at home. For me, the main point of going out with friends is to spend quality time with them not to stuff myself at some restaurant.

Cooking:

The ultimate way to save money is to stay in and cook more. I have started to do this and I have also found that cooking is somewhat relaxing and enjoyable. So, the next time you want dine out, stay home and cook.

Cutting Down On Your Expenses = More Money In Your Bank Account (PART 1)

We spend way too much on electronics and technology these days. Let’s try and cut down on costs. Here are a few examples.

TV’s: I remember being one of the first families to own a big screen TV growing up. Three years later more families started to purchase them as the price decreased and technology improved. Instead of perhaps $3-$4k for the big screen TV, everyone else got it for maybe in the $2K-$3K range. Now it’s the age of flat screen TV’s. When these first came out, they were going for over $5K, now you can get them for $200. The Lesson? Wait and save money. Besides, you don’t have to buy the “latest and greatest” because tomorrow there will be another “latest and “greatest”.

Cell Phones: I am going to use Verizon as an example because that is what I have. Ok, $20 for unlimited IN bound texts Plus 5000 additional texts. Do we really need all that? That’s $240 in savings a year/ $1200 in 5 years. Plus think of all the productivity that could be gained if texting did not exist.

V Cast is another thing. How many of you have V Cast?

Hundreds of video clips daily, including sports highlights and news updates. Email and shop online with Mobile Web 2.0. And play amazing 3D and multi-player games.

This is also $15 a month. That’s $180 a year and $900 in 5 years you can save without this. Plus think of all the productivity that could be gained without this feature.

Sometimes we need to analyze our expenses one by one to see where our money is being wasted. Instead, we can save this money and invest it somewhere. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t have the best tv out there or if you don’t have text messaging and V Cast!


Next, I’ll talk about how much can be saved from dining in!

More Ebay Selling Tips!

Include A Picture:

A picture is worth a thousand words. Make sure to include them in your listing!!

Learn Simple HTML

It doesn’t hurt to know simple html to improve the look and feel of your listing. Visit htmlgoodies.comfor some tips.

Listing Descriptions:

Make sure to be very detailed in your descriptions. Customers like to know what they are buying. Also, by being detailed with your descriptions, this will decrease the amount of questions/emails sent to you by your customers. Less work is always good.

Delivery Confirmation:

Include free delivery confirmation for your customers in the US. This gives them peace of mind and also it is proof that the product was delivered in case your customer complains they never received the item. I use to purchase postage on paypal.com which offers free delivery confirmation.

Include A Thank You Note:

You should include a thank you note with each purchase with your email address in case they have any comments or questions.

Four Ebay Selling Tips

I was able to average 3-4K a month in sales selling on Ebay.com part time while in college. Here are some tips.

Ebay Selling Tips:

1. Try to end your auction on a Monday or Thursday between 6-9PM. This is when there is high traffic to the site which will increase competition and drive up the price of your item.
2. Use an html template if you can. Make your listing as professional as it
can be.
3. If you are new to Ebay and want to start selling, try to purchase a few items first to build up your feedback score.
4. Be as descriptive as you can with your listing title. Check your competition’s titles.

Success is there waiting for you! Just Jump Already! I started with Ebay.com (PART 2)

At some point I decided to purchase the polo shirts and then 4 weeks later the shipment arrived. I scoped out the competition on Ebay and saw that the polo shirts were starting at $10 so I did the same. Also, I knew HTML so I made my pages look better than the competition. Making my auctions look more professional, drove up the bid price. The shirts sold on average for $18. Not bad, 80% return on investment!

I started selling on Ebay my junior year of college and all throughout my senior year. It was great supplemental income!

To be honest, it wasn’t a piece of cake selling on Ebay. Things also went wrong, unhappy customers, supplier delays, issues with defect, etc. In the end, I just kept on moving forward and faced each challenge. I think most people focus on talking about success etc. but sometimes it’s also important to look at the challenges to get to that success. I didn’t give up after each challenge and each challenge only made me stronger. Some challenges I faced more than once, such as product defects. However, each time, I knew how to handle the situation better. (I also made sure to work with suppliers that would be able to offer refunds etc.)

I had this vision where I could make money in my sleep and that’s what I did. My auctions went on while I slept, while I watched TV, and while I partied.

If you have a vision, take the necessary steps to make it a reality.


I’ll post some Ebay tips tomorrow!

Success is there waiting for you! Just Jump Already! I started with Ebay.com (PART1)

While I was at college not too long ago, I use to purchase so much stuff on Ebay.com. I mean just random stuff such as a large ionic fan and a pink 50ft Ethernet cable. One day, I realized that if everyone else can make money off of Ebay selling stuff, why can’t I??

Since I was in school for business, I knew about importing, wholesalers, etc. Why not put my 40K (definitely more now) a year college education to use, while I was still in college?

My first stop was alibaba.com and a bunch of other wholesale directories. After browsing through thousands of products, I decided to resell overstock apparel. I then contacted a bunch of suppliers and they gave me a bunch of quotes, payment terms, and lead times.

I reduced the number of suppliers from ten to one. I decided to go with a wholesaler with offices in Pennsylvania because I thought it would be safer than dealing with someone internationally and they also accepted credit cards.

It would cost me $1000 for 100 polo shirts.

I had to think about this for a couple of days. So many things ran through my head like, how about if the items don’t come? What if they don’t sell? What if they are defective?
All these negative thoughts were running through my head that were preventing me from picturing the successful me.

The Daily Motivator

I started this routine where each morning I go to greatday.com to read the daily motivator. I then cut and paste the message and send it to some friends who need the motivation. I’ve noticed a change and I feel more positive.

Today’s Daily Motivator:


Your imagination

There are no limits to what you can imagine. And what you create in your imagination sets the stage for what you will create in your life.

Your imagination can take you to any place and any time you choose.

In your imagination, you can construct and explore whatever set of circumstances you wish to experience.

Imagination can help you prepare to do things you've never done. It can also help you improve and perfect the tasks with which you're already familiar.

Pay close and careful attention to the realities of your life. And then fully explore the possibilities present in those realities by sifting them through the
wondrous power of your imagination.

When it seems that you've run out of options, imagine for yourself some new ones. If you let it, your imagination can pull you toward the truth you need to know.

The reality of your life is rich indeed. And imagination greatly expands your access to that richness.

-- Ralph Marston

Welcome to The Good Life

Every morning, I play Kanye West's song, Welcome to The Good Life at least once. You see, most of us dream of living the good life one day in the future. Some of us dream that one day we don't have to worry about finances. Wouldn't that be great just to be able to spend money at your favorite store without looking at price tags? I know I do! Some of us dream of traveling the world and filling one of our many homes with artifacts from around the world. I know I do!

Two weeks ago I was talking to my younger sister and I told her, "One day we are going to live The Good Life!" She responded with, "Um, we ARE living the Good Life!" I thought about what she said as soon as she said it and realized that she was right. I am living The Good Life NOW!

Usually, when I visualize the life I want for myself, I tend to think in terms of materialistic things such as the incredible house I am eventually going to own, the fancy car I'm eventually going to drive, and the amazing vacations I'm going to take (once every 2 months!). However, I sometimes forget that intangible things such as family/friend support & personal growth are things that I currently have or I am experiencing NOW.

Really, the intangible things, the things that you can't quantify, the things that have unlimited growth potential are the things that make your life not only good, but AMAZING! The beautiful thing about these intangible things is that they are FREE. Attract the type of friends that can help you and motivate you live the best life possible. For personal growth, meditate and go within yourself to find out who you really are and what you are capable of.

Think about it. We are all living The Good Life NOW, in the present, if we allow it.

My Vision Board Slide Show

After reading The Secret, I created a Vision Board Slide Show on my computer with my dream cars (Range Rover & Lamburghini), my 5 bedroom mansion, the man of my dreams, and all the vacation destinations I want to visit in this lifetime.

This is a great motivator and constant reminder for me to continue working towards my goals.
Everytime my computer sits idle for 5 minutes, my Vision Board Slide Show starts to play. Whenever my computer hits the 5 minute idle mark, I tell myself that in order to achieve all my dreams flashing before my eyes, i have to stop Procrastinating!! Then I get back to work. :)
