It happens all the time. I get that thought, “I want (what that other person has)! Why don’t I have that?”

A day later it drops into my lap.

Let me give you some background:

In 2007 a friend of mine was being interviewed on ABC-TV. I immediately went into envy mode. I whined to myself, “I want to do that!”

The next morning I got a call: one of their guests had a last minute conflict, and I ended up taking their place on the interview.

But really, this happens ALL THE TIME.  I’m thinking about why this works… (more…)

Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease…with carefreeness, harmony and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.

Want to attract abundance? Feeling good is irrestibly attractive. Try these easy tricks from neuro linguistic programming for a quick emotional pick-me-up.

We all have those days: someone dinged your car, the computer crashed, or that person who knows how to push your buttons… pushed your buttons! Know what I’m talking about? Usually it’s not the events themselves that are so devastating; it’s our reaction that does the damage. It’s hard to tap into your wisdom and creativity when you are feeling stressed out, pissed off, or helpless. It’s really hard to attract what you want when you want to blow up the world.

When you stand in who you are without apology, when you are fully and fearlessly authentic, you will REPEL people. You will scare them off! This is wonderful. The more you clear out the people who don’t like or understand or appreciate you and your products, the EASIER it is for your fans to find you. If you aren’t repelling anyone, you’re not doing your job!

You’ll never please people who are not “your people,” but you can divert your energy and your self respect by trying to make everybody your friend or customer. Cut them loose. Instead of trying to persuade people who don’t want to be persuaded, embrace scaring them off.

They aren’t your customers and they aren’t your friends. Self respect is very attractive to good health, wealth, and love.

Your naysayers may come around on their own. Focus on your fans.

I’ve noticed the more “professional” I try to sound, the more invisible I become. I sound like everybody else. I disappear. My conversation partner’s eyes glaze over then dash around for something of more interest.

As soon as I let loose and say something outrageous like “I’m the Money Magic Queen,” people wake up. “Really?” they ask. “What’s that?” I end up with more relationship and credibility than if I’d just stuck to the usual credentials (author, trainer, international speaker, certified coach).

The more authentic you are, the more visible you’ll be to your people, just like the full moon coming out from the shadow of the eclipse.

Yes, it’s scary. Many people will tell you that you can’t afford to lose the snakes! It takes a leap of faith to trust in the attractiveness of who you are when you’re not pleasing others.
