Review - Rober G. Allen & Mark Victor Hansen - One Minute Millionaire

I listened to the following the last week. It like much at the moment has been sat on my mp3 player for such a long time.

I remember many moons ago when I was starting to really get into NLP. Gosh that seems like a long time ago.

Why aren't book written in an NLP presenting recommended style based on the 4Mat system or at least: Facts, figures theory reinforced by a metaphor or story?

This type and style of teaching and learning is only limited by a teachers imagination and ability. Ah we may hit a problem here in the UK.

I couldn't tell you the number of times I've seen this book, in Charity shops or Op shops as they call them in Aus. I freely admit I was put off it for a long time, because it was so small - what could it possibly contain that would be useful that I don't already know? Oh and one of the Authors is Robert G. Allen. Sorry, for me. Robert was always known as the No Money Down Sales Guy.

The past few weeks I've been clearing out my mp3 player of tracks that I've had on it for ages, I thought I might as well listen to this. Audio is here. I freely admit, I listen to a lot, where as some of you may read much. Yet, how much do you or I actually put into practice?

There was a reason that I always wanted a book to be written in a theory and facts followed by a story way. I LIKE IT. Yes, I am sometimes very quick on the up take me.

The book is mostly about the "how to mind set of millionaires", backed up with ideas and actions that would really help you if you followed through on them. It is all backed up with a metaphorically story based on the hard, dry theories. So either way you are a winner.

I'll not give away the story, suffice to say, if you were in the same situation, what would you do and how far would you go to succeed?

This book details how to become a millionaire using the power of leverage: using other people's resources and technology to multiply the effect of what you do. It is filled with quotes, affirmations and sayings. I don't think I've taken as many notes on a particular recording in a long time. Coupled with some format tips I learnt from Jim. I've been on a roll.

Whilst listen to the book, I wrote down several ideas for other products, that I'm thinking of releasing. I'm currently in the market research stage, to see if there is an actual market for them, and I'm not just emotionally attached to the things I like.

I just wish that this had been longer, with real life 'case studies' or stories. Do these works actually have a real world user base and application?

Review - A Happy Pocket Full of Money - David Cameron Gikandi

This is an excellent recording about manifesting money. Word of warning, the beginning is heavy.

I'm glad I listened to Quantum Cookbook, beforehand. The 1st CD is all about quantum physics. It was all pretty heavy going even for me. The next CD is all about time, space, energy and matter. David's discussion about the past, present and future was excellent. There is only the present 'time'. The author obviously knows that this is all pretty heavy going. He tells you, this will all be covered again during later sessions...phew.

Once these topics were covered. It was back to more conventional ideas about manifesting. It was great to hear about using lucid dreaming as part of your manifestation process. David recommended visualization for an hour a day. At 1st I though that was a lot. Yet, I visualize on and off for that amount throughout the day, anyway

Whilst there were no formal exercises, there were many ideas to follow. I think for some, they would like more formal step by step exercises.

Speed of manifestation is down to clearness of thought. Your future is clearly seen in your thoughts, feelings and words that you are currently using. Nothing is difficult. All you need is to be specific, clear and focus. You become what you think about. You really do need to stay clear and focus on the positivity of want you want.

Any problems that occur are there until you narrow your thinking and focus on to what you want. It is really the universe telling you I don't really know what you want. One minute, it is this, one minute it is that....help me, help you.

Thought takes time to manifest. Time is an illusion based on your past. Use your past to help you change and grow. Present results are how you USE TO think. Since thoughts take time, change your thinking NOW and the thoughts will manifest, later. Thus all that I want is already there for me. We are just trying to arrange a way or several ways to meet each other. Everything happens in the mind first.

If you're not experiencing what you want, it is because you don't feel it. I now decide to be X from now on! Your, thoughts and actions should now reflect this decision. The fastest way to anything is just BE. Say to yourself I am X. Doubt as little as possible.

Do you expect massive success? I though this was an excellent question. I immediately drew up EXPECT MASSIVE SUCCESS, and slapped it on my vision board. Actually I wrote I now expect massive success

Success boils down to the following:

BE - feeling
Thinking - End result, specific and detailed
Speaking -I am, present tense, positively framed
Action - The final and smallest step. This is how you actually receive what you want.

This is how you have created everything in your life so far.

Action requires just a small step. Yet most of us, don’t bother to get started. Why? We all complain, I don't know how this will happen. Step 1 has to be followed by step 2. Yet only if you start step 1.

The tool of creation is certainty, faith and belief. True, yet how? You can only do this by making a decision. To understand and get faith. This is explained by quantum physics. Persistence helps too! It is beyond faith. After all persistence is one small step beyond faith.

Doubt and uncertainty are your only fears. The abilities you have are beyond you wildest imagination and guesstimation.

Abundance does exist and it is all that exists. If you are in debt or fear debt. Look for the learnings and opportunities. Holding tightly on to sometime prohibits opportunities coming to you.

David's discussion about cause and effect was one of the most through I've ever heard. Excellent discussions were had about wealth and negative things such as war and Hitler. Everything, positive or not is a gift. Many ideas and thoughts about the idea and understanding it were given. What is found in the effect is found in the cause. Supply and demand is caused by cause and effect. If you have an idea, somebody wants to fulfill that idea or they want you to act on that idea. DREAM BIG!

There are many paths to getting what you want. The author discussed 'conditions'. If you believe in them, they will happen. A condition can easily be heard in your language. They are if then statements. If X happens then I .... These are only illusions.

If you are suffering, it is due to you thinking in a wrong way. A way that is taking you off you path and goals.

If you believe in something...your world will manifest it. If you believe and think that you are wealthy. Conditions will form around you to fulfill those thoughts. Yet again this was a brick wall for me, as I once again heard my very strong and negative self talk. Conditions are caused by you.

Which causes or positions are working and are you coming from?

Wealth is a state of being. Conditions are caused by your continual thoughts. You are not your conditions. Things are not right or wrong.

The last CD details some ideas on the physical how to’s of money. Ideas you can actually implement if you have not already done so.

Thanks to listening to this, I’m rewriting my entire ‘perfect day’ movie script with oh so much more detail. If nothing else it is a great exciting exercise to do. My Word Mobile on my PDA has never had so much use.

This, I think is one of the best books I've heard this year. I'm very surprised this, certainly in my circles has not received a wider audience. It can be heavy going at times, you can get stuck over sentences, for me some seemed to loop within themselves. Yet, I really think this book is mind expanding. I really can't recommend this highly enough. I've put a date in my diary in a month’s time, so that I listen to it again. This allows this listening to permeate and become even more a part of my thinking. I’m off to buy the book version, since there is apparently more info, contained within the book version.

Have a clear vision and certainty. Abundance is all there is.

Review - Roger Hamilton - Wink and Grow Rich

Oh, this is a great little creating wealth fable. This is the second time I have listened to it. It is the third such story that I've read or heard in the last week or so. Roger Hamilton is pretty popular amongst many of the people that I've been fortunate enough to study with and follow over recent months. His Wealth Dynamics personal survey is good stuff too. Available here.

The basic premise is that you follow a 9 year old as he asks other people where he lives about how they became wealthy. He has to battle against his father's ideas and thoughts, as do many of us. You follow him as he begins to understand and grow his vision and what it really takes to become wealthy.

As the introduction states. The story is behind the actually story. I didn't hear any language patterns or embedded commands, yet the metaphor is great. I learnt more from this second listening than I did from the first time that is for sure. I wonder what will happen if I listen to it another 5 or 10 times, is is subtly implied.

This perfectly compliments the other stories that I've heard recently. It details things that the others miss or skim over i.e. leverage, working for money and investing your time for money, missed opportunity.

One thing I really liked was that the hard copy book actually contains drawings and pictures. Roger et al. have put the images on-line for you to actually view. You don't have to listen to a description and guess about the diagram or drawing as you often do with other books. Some of the pictures are quite detailed and require several viewings to fully grasp what has been drawn and is being said by the pictures.

This little story can be heard very quickly, yet the information is potentially powerful, if you hear the story behind the story.

This is why you'll most likely have to listen to or read it multiple times. I will certainly have to. I'm sure I missed one or two pieces.

The World is waiting, anticipating..

If there are another fables worth checking out, let me know please, thanks.

p.s. A few days later, I was walking in the sunshine, trying to figure something out, when I heard myself say, ask a better question. Just as is stated in the above book.

Review - George S. Clason - The Richest Man in Babylon

This book is similar to The Instant Millionaire in that it is a fable about how to become wealthy. You follow the story of various people about in the legendary The city of Babylon.

It is a great little read. The actually book, although a fable is a great 'how to'. I actually think it needs to be read more than once. Again like SOGR. You'll miss many things or just think, that was nice.

I took a much greater interest in it, the second time around. The advice offered is simple, yet timeless and classic. Just quell the internal demons and follow the advice.

Again the story raises questions that are asked and answered by the fable. I think it is worthwhile read, which unlike, The Instant Millionaire, it has a very clear path for you to follow, yet it is not as heavy in exercises etc. as some 'official' how to courses.

For examople, it details how to handle peole that magically appear when you have come into wealth. It details a very simple, yet profound way to pay off your debts and continue into prosperity

Of your earned income -

10% is yours to keep and 'jingle' in your pocket
70% is what you live off and use to clothe, eat and live
20% you use to pay off all your debts.

It details that you must contact all your creditors (people you owe money to) and tell them what you are doing. You'll find that many if not all will accept your agreement. If you want more money in the future, it helps if you can show that you pay back your debts.

Without realising it I did something very similar to this when I cleared all my debts from university in record time. Now I wonder why I stopped.

The audio version is available here . I really like the audio version. Who ever is the narrate I thought was brilliant. He really bought the fable to life.

Mark Fisher - The Instant Millionaire: A Tale of Wisdom and Wealth

This little book has been recommended to me several times over the past few years by a friend of mine. The author, Mark Fisher, himself is a multimillionaire. All ways good I think if you're going to be writing about something and offering advice. Should you not be walking the talk and not just talking it?

Can a story make you rich? I don't know. All I know is that from my own experience of hearing and delivering metaphors and stories. I know just how powerful they can be.

This simple story is about a young man who wants to be rich and spends time with an old man who is a multi millionaire. During their time together the old man challenges the young man about his beliefs, actions and ideas and about what it takes to become rich.

I have the audio copy of this book in my car. Whenever I don't know what to listen to or I've finished something else. I nearly always reach for this. It can be heard in a few hours. I don't know why, yet I just keep listening to it. It is much easier to listen to than other things since there are no exercises to complete. No 30 day challenges to undergo. Maybe that is why I like it. Its power lies in its simplicity. I don't know how many times I've heard the recording over the past year. Just many.

There are several of these wealth fables that without realising, teach you and your unconscious mind how to realise your wealth potential. This for me is one of the best.

All I really know is that I'll be listening to this one again very soon. I would urge you to find it for yourself and use it as another way to impart what is pretty much standard advice about the wealthier being. Yet, this has no exercises to follow or daily affirmations etc. That must be good, since you'll just sit back, relax and enjoy reading or listening to a really good story.

Review - Bob Proctor - The Science of Getting Rich

This program is made up of several CDs and a workbook. Although the CDs reference cassettes. So I assume, the material has just been transferred over from one medium to another.

This, for me, is the excellent follow up and much needed study guide to Wallace Wattles - The Science of Getting Rich book. It fills in the gaps that I found missing in the book itself. Or now perhaps I should say, just missed...widely

Bob is enthused by this little book (SOGR). I got the impression from listening to him, that he is as excited and as passionate about this little book as much today as the first time he was introduced to it and read it.

Bob, reads the book, SOGR, to you and with you. He comments on nearly each line, certainly each paragraph. He asks many questions of you and about the text.

There are further questions that you must answer within his accompanying guide.

Whilst following along with him. I finally began to 'get' the book. I now am beginning to understand, why so many people like this book. If you want to get the most out of SOGR. This guide is great. Bob is going to expect you to do quite a lot of 'work'. No, work is perhaps the wrong word. Play, investigation, reflection and listening are better. The 1st CD alone, he wants you to listen to 6 times. Bob quotes somebody else, by saying each time you listen or read the same book. You discover something new within yourself. This happened to me numerous times listen to the first CD and going over the book. I've heard 'these' things before. Yet they struck accord with me this time.

You will answer many questions. Your answers will vary each time you go over the book, hear him and ponder what he asks of you.

Yet, as he states in his introduction. Each time you read or hear something, you learn or are open to hearing and learning something new. You discover something about yourself.

I think this is why many of us read the same type of book over and over again. We are wanting to hear that piece, that sentence, that explanation that makes all of the information we know 'click' into place.

I never knew or understood even how powerful page one of SOGR was, until now. Somehow even that first page is now a masterpiece.

Isn't it funny how every leader, guru or teacher seems to says, "I read every book, attended every seminar, so yo don't have to". Yet, I think most of us do, because we're wanting the one explanation that makes sense to us. I'm sure most of us could write our own books on these subjects, yet for whatever reason we don't. We don't even follow the advice given. I think because, we think we know better. Yet, we don't. Otherwise we'd be where we would want to be!

This is not a one time listening program. Neither now is the book, The Science of Getting Rich. Thanks to Bob's guidance, this may very well have to go on my yearly to read list. The CDs and workbook will take time, yet I think it is time well spent.

SOGR is so small, it could be missed by many, including myself. Yet, now I think it will sit by my bed so that I read a chapter before I go to sleep, so I can further understand this classic.

My experience was, Bob wil ask you to listen to certain CDs and sections again and again. At first even I went urgh! Then again, isn't that what most of us do nearly all the time? We don't follow instructions to the letter. Then we wonder why we get the same results. Thus, under duress. I carried on listening to the first CD before I didn't anything else.

You have more power and potential within you than any current circumstance or event. You can earn a 7 figure income with just one change in thought

I read the little book and I was struck when answering the follow up questions. One question is "in which department or your life: body, mind, or soul do you feel greatest lack?"

When I heard this the 1st time I thought life. Yet on reading what makes up each 'department'. I realised that actually according it Wallace's criteria I'm missing some of his ideas that make a full mind. Yet in all 3 areas I'm missing some key compenents. Some days each department appears full. On other days, certain departments are completly empty.

These and other insights I think you get from going over and over the text and follow up questions. Despiste the temptation, don't do it!. Do as you are asked. Then move on.

A point that did strick me was. Wallace states that if you follow things in a certain way, you'll get like results. Ok...that I understand. Then he says, you don't get rich by saving and being thrifty. You begin to wonder why we are heavily taught to save by our banks, financial institutions and governement. Is it perhaps for every dollar, pound, yen you save. They can reuse it 8 times? It makes you wonder. Then again, your bank will tell your house is an asset. Your house is only an asset to the bank, not to you. Ergo, if they tell you to save, who is it really good for?

Don't get me wrong, I do save, in an 'opportunity fund'. You should have ready cash on hand for when it is needed. Yet, I do wonder. If you follow the 'herd', will you then not get 'herd' results?

Again, it comes back to doing things in a certain way. Would I suppose we have been taught or learnt to do it the wrong way. Thus, it keeps us where we are?

Review - Wallace Wattles - The Science of Getting Rich

Becoming Rich is an exact science according to this book. It is a very small and compact book. You can read it over a weekend if not within a few hours.It is regarded by many as a classic in the field of wealth creation and prosperity mindset. This is the book that started The Secret.

It stipulates that if you do things in a certain order and way, you can become nothing but rich. Several questions pop into my head:

1. Why do we not know the order?
2. Why are we not taught the order?
3. Why do we not follow the order?

The book is a collection of chapters. Each chapter details a principle that you must use and follow with unerring faith. If you do you will be come rich. I would have liked the book to have more formal structure i.e.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
= Result you want.

I felt whilst reading, Wallace was eluding to something: a power, a system or something more than he was letting on to. Or he was leaving something out of the book. Things seemed to me to be inferred yet not referenced directly.

I wonder why?

I am pretty certain, if you can read through the lines, this is an awe inspiring book, worthy of further investigation and study. Yet, for me it was just another book about you and your wealth potential. There was something missing. Yet, I don't know what.

Review - Charles Fillmore - Prosperity

It's not often I read a book and go wow. In fact I can't remember the last time I did that.

This little book, is quite frankly...excellent. For me it was a real eye opener. Growing up I spent five years at a Cathedral School here in the UK. Thus religious overtones and teachings were everywhere. I don't remember being taught anything about money, wealth and prosperity. In fact I don't remember being lambastered about sinners either. Yet I'm sure like much religious teaching it is all done subtley.

I liked this book because things I know and have heard constantly were given a very different and prosperous slant. Serveral things came to me and were given a reframe whilst reading the book. The final chapter on the fear and power of money was worth paying for the book alone.

The book details ideas about God as your true source of prosperity. Naturally the bible is quoted heavily. Yet, it asked the reader to look beyond the words and at the 'true' meaning of the sentance or phrase. This to me, is the real magic of the book. I think it will make you question much of what you have heard and think you know about your own religious teachings.

I'm really into EFT at the moment as a way of releasing my negative beliefs and emotions. I had a huge experience of letting go of a negative belief. What really surprised me was, although the belief itself was perhaps small in 'release power'. I was holding on to the belief for dear life. That really, really surprised me. I just didn't know. I went around the rest of the day in sheer bliss. How many more beliefs do I have like that?

The end of the book is filled with questions about the chapters you have read to further facilitate your learning and understands of the material presented.

It now makes me want to read the Millionaires of the Bible Series by Catherine Ponder. I wonder what she'll point out to me.

Charles' book, I think is worth reading again and maybe even again. Maybe it will go on my 'to be read yearly list'. I just wish an audio version was available. You can get a hardcopy version at Amazon or it is availble on line for free at ForgottenBooks.org .

Review - Dr.Dolf de Roos - Wealth Magnet

Most of you like me will have heard of Dolf through the Rich Dad books. He is a softly spoken New Zealander, who doesn't need to come across with all the US glitz, glamour and loud noise to make a point.

Here, Dolf through his program Wealth Magnet begins to discuss the psychology of the wealthy and rich. Nothing new there then.

In the introduction some very large claims are made about the program. i.e. By listening to this you will learn A,B and C. Do they marry up? I can't honestly remember. I was shocked at the bold claims or sheer list of them.

When listening to Dolf it felt very much like he was having a dicussion with just me. Only a few exercises are outlined. Coming from a very sicentic background, he has tested these exercises throughly. Yet, most people will not even complete these and apartently, most people will not listen to the entire CD series?? Why??

He quotes quite heavily from The Millionaire Mind Next Door by Thomas Stanley. Yet, since this is perhaps the seminal work on the 'millionaire'. I'm not surprised.

The exercises are deceptively simple, there in lies there beauty. Like most of these programs you need to do them for a month. I'm still in that month. Thus I'm still reading my new beliefs that I want to take on. He realises that these are beliefs that you may not believe as true at the moment, yet you want to. That is quite refreshing. Saying your wanted beliefs out loud to somebody is quite uncomfortable. Especially if they don't hold and want the same for you. I'm carrying around currently £500 in crisp £50 notes. Not the £1000. I didn't have it as I started. Ordering the money from the bank is great. You get some 16 year old kid look at you. Then you walk out the bank with large, red notes. Carrying them around is quite easy and becomes very comfortable after a while. Roll on the £1000.

The whole point is to just hold the money on you and not do anything with it. As Dolf puts it. You want to be a millionaire, yet you're uncomfortable carrying around a paltry £1000. I'm upping to £1000 this week. There is naturally a section on goal setting. I seem to be an old hat at this. There must be a belief somewhere holding me back. This is all that prevents me from getting my goals quicker...belief change here we come.

It did use one of my £50, in exchange for 5 £10 notes. I felt guilty dipping into my £50s. I couldn't wait to get to the bank and exchange them all for another £50. The reaction of people when I said yes I've got a £50 was quite interesting. I think people just didn't expect anybody, certainly me to be carrying £50s. IT was wonderful being able to do that.

He mentions that the wealthy read the Economist more than other sections of the social strata. I'm having issues reconciling with this since, I'm becoming a fan of a media black out. When I tell others this I'm quite strong in my view/opinion. Point me at a newspaper and I'll show you the non news, uneducated opinion that is flogged as news. (off soap box). Thankfully the Economist has an audio version. I use to read it many, moons ago. It took me ages to complete it.

This is worth a listen if you want something other than US razzmatazz. The exercises are deceptively simple. Yet most of you will not implement them. This goes very well with Randy Gage's Prosperity CDs.

Review - Wendi Friesen - Financial Abundance

Today I'm starting to review some products that I have that form part of the Wendi.com Hypnosis Empire.

I'll start with a topic that everybody is thinking about at the moment Money . or better said Financial Abundance.

I'll say this, I have listened to this the past few years. Each time I do, I end up attracting, finding, manifesting, call it what you will.. more money. Be it a raise, interest from my bank accounts or cheques in the post. For me there is a direct correlation between listening to this CD set and attracting more money, each and every time.

I'm about to listen to it again, for this years refresher. I'm wondering how far can I truly go this year?

I've the CD set and work book, yet there is also a DVD too of the equivalent seminar. I've not seen this yet. I'm sure I will, since I like to view this sort of information and material in as many formats as possible.

So what do you get?

With the CD set you'll get 4 CDs and a small 28 page booklet. The CD sound quality is pretty good. The packaging is certainly one of the more professional, that I've seen from an Internet seller. In addition, you'll get a heap of paper mailing detailing her other products.

It is worth signing up for her mailing list, if nothing else for the sales she has throughout the year. As a side note she was the only seller I know of that used the Olympics Opening Ceremony in 2008 to her advantage and as a sales pitch...you would think the other 'Internet sellers', would use any special day, it appears not!

My booklet is so well used and turned that it has tea and coffee stains on it. You work through the CDs and booklet over two weeks or longer. Wendi details a plan for you to follow. No listening is over 30 minutes.

The booklet itself is quite basic. It is filled with quotes and thought provoking questions and a goal setting section. There is some pre work you must do before you listen to certain tracks. Don't worry, it doesn't take that long.

The CDs and hypnosis sessions are the real meat.

There are several sessions , including parts therapy, which if you've never done it before can be really powerful. After all if you don't have what you want, a 'part' of you is holding you back. You'll get to do some time lining, meet a wise sage, change your beliefs and be taken through a process to bring things towards you from your future. The wall induction is normally quite powerful for me.

The success of these sessions depends on you as the listener. How thoroughly and truthfully do you answer the questions and how relaxed are you? Are you analytically by nature or can you just lie there and go with the flow?

Most of the techniques are quite normal and pretty average, not much 'double induction'. Yet, Wendi has a great voice and tonality. that you can quite easily move along with. I'd recommend you go over some of the sessions several times, to get the fullest effect. There is background noise, music and sounds on the tracks. This itself acts as an anchor. i.e. you'll be drawn into a relaxed state just by listening to the music. Certainly if over time you listen to much of Wendi's material as I have, you can't help but relax and go further into a trance state.

If you want something slightly different and with less structure or just a good yarn, check out Lloyd Glauberman review.

Even with that said, it is a powerful set to follow and complete. I continually have success with it. If you're new to hypnosis, this type of program and structure will suit you very well and set you on your way to Financial Abundance. It is what I think you would expect from a hypnosis session.

A big well done and thanks must be given to WendiSupport, they seems to be able to answer most questions or find somebody who can pretty quickly. A great product and 'personality' can be let down by a shabby support team.

Review - Randy Gage - The 7 Spiritual Laws of Prosperity

This is the last book in Randy's Prosperity Series. Within it are 7 basic laws of prosperity.

Most chapters have affirmations which you can begin to use to program your mind for more prosperity. some useful reframes of language are contained also. I particularly like how Randy now calls his bills, his blessings.

This is quite a short book. I don't think it is worth getting by its self. Get the whole prosperity series. If you like the ideas presented in this book and his whole series. It is worth checking out his Prosperity CD set, which I think compliments, the book series really well. In short the CD series, expands on the books.

Review - Randy Gage - Prosperity Mindset

The 4th book in his Prosperity Series. For me this book further expands on the ideas presented in Randy's book Accept Your Abundance. Although it isn't directly a how to book. By reading it you can take each chapter and the ideas presented, if followed become the 'how to'.

Again it is a book written to challenge your current prosperity thinking. It is one that stands on its own, yet I feel should be read with Accept Your Abundance, as they compliment each other very well.

Some of the chapters are similar to Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. Yet, the chapters are brought up to date. For me this is a much easier to read than Napoleon's book.

Review - Randy Gage - 37 Secrets About Prosperity

The 3rd in Randy's Prosperity Series. A short book by comparaision, yet the information inside it is actually gold. Randy details 37 secrets about prosperity, that I think you would be well advised to live your life by and through if you want true prosperity.

He details one principle or idea, then explains the idea in further detail. Some you may know, some you will not.

Randy says quite emphatically, he doesn't want to be your guru. Which is actually rather refreshing. Yet, if you want to learn true prosperity and how to manifest wealth and abundance he is certainly somebody I think worthy of further investigation.

Have you noticed how many people are jumping on the how to solve the credit crunch and create true wealth and abundance" band wagon,? Yet they are broke, they can't rub two pence together. I'm sorry for me somebody you really understands wealth, prosperity and abundance has lots of cash...period!!

In a recent emai I received from him he stated the following :

If you want to manifest real abundance in your life, you have to be comfortable spending $60,000 for a watch, $250,000 for a car, or ten grand on a nice pair of custom-made shoes. You have to be able to do that without any of the guilt bullshit that organized religion, the media, and the government want to burden you with to keep you broke. You have to be willing to be selfish. Then, and only then, can you write the big checks to charities, serve causes, and help the people that matter most to you in a meaningful way.

In addition he also says, if you don't have $10 million in cash you're poor! Now that will slap you right in the face I bet. Yet, I love that as a definintion. Isn't that something wonderful to work and play towards?

Randy doesn't need to hold back. He has been, there and done it. Boy has he really done it.

Randy's complete Prosperity Series is something I've read more than once. It is one of the very, very few things that I come back to as each year begins. I do that as a refresher, since I want more money, wealth, prosperity and abundance in my life.

The yearly read is for me a clear indication of how good, relevant and truthful the information is. If you're wanting more money, wealth and abundance in all its forms. It will be for you too.

If you dislike the phrase, yet you are beginning your journey to more prosperity. This will make sense. You'll soon learn why you'll hate that phrase!

Save yourself some money and buy the complete set..

Review - Randy Gage - Accept Your Abundance

This is the 2nd book in Randy's Prosperity Series. For me this book is a real eye opener for accepting and having your own prosperity.

Most of us, including me have or have had issues with accepting prosperity into our lives. Mostly I think due to parents, schooling and social and media pressure that until we know better or different. We perceive as the truth. In this book, Randy begins to challenge these long held beliefs.

He will challenge you to think about your current 'victimhood, then begin with a simple exercise on how to change this idea. You are the star in your own movie.

The chapter on Lack Programming is well thought out and explained. You may want to read it several times. Heed his advice. If not the first time around. If you permit yourself to read it again and again. You will begin to understand what he actually says comes, I think from a stronger position that the movies, parents and anything else you let 'program' you.

The Art or as Randy calls it Virtue of Selfishness, is perhaps the hardest to grasp. It required a shift in my mind. I'd have said for ages I'd always say yes to others, out of a loyalty that was and for many is misplaced.

Certainly read this chapter again and again. Once you come out to the otherside. I think, no I know you're in a stronger place. Much of the writing in this chapter I recognised from the writings of Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged. Highly worth reading too. Although I'd read Randy's book first. Otherwise I think you'll miss the nuances in Rand's own writing.

Much of the book is recognising through Gage's own history your sources of lack programming. It has one of the best definitions or monetary levels for being poor. I often find myself quoting it. I'm working my way towards that level of monetary financial freedom. Happy Days

Unlike his book 37 Secrets, this I think holds its own as an individual book.

Review - Randy Gage - 101 Keys To Prosperity

This is the 1st book in Randy's Prosperity Series. It literally is 101 key ideas or thoughts on how to achieve your own huge potential and greater prosperity in your life.

By prosperity do not just read MONEY. It is 101 truths that apply to all areas that make up a truly prosperous life.

For me Randy's whole Prosperity Series is something I read at least once a year. With each new year, I'm futher along my path to the prosperity level that I want. A new point always stands out for me each time I read the series. Or maybe at that point I'm ready to hear that particular message and truly make it part of my daily life and thoughts.

I think it is worth reading as part of the whole series, but not just on its own. Although idea No.3 will let you achieve all that you want. I think most people will want more instruction on how to imbibe these rules and ideas so that they become part of their being and not just an ethereal idea or concept.

This is not just directed at Randy, yet it is very common with many books. The authours present great ideas and concepts, yet little in the way of how to make the concepts and ideas part of your everyday way of being.

Once you have read the other books in Randy's prosperity series, these salient points are very easy to understand and begin to take on. Yet, I'm not certain that this book stands on its own. It could have done with some examples. i.e. when you're told don't affirm lack. I know most people don't understand, grasp or 'do' this principle.

How do I know?

They don't have everything they want in there life. Plain and Simple.

My advice, get the whole Prosperity Series and make it part of your yearly reading. Not just this single book.

Review - Essentials Skills - Money Magnet DVD and Workbook

I watched this earlier this week. I've got to say I wasn't all that impressed. The quality of the presentation seemed pretty poor and the sound quality was quite hit and miss, even with a microphone being past around the participants. The recording is taken from a seminar presentation. Whether they realised it or not there seemed to me almost a battle going on between Tom Vizzini and Kimberly McFarland, who would actually be the presenter and give all the detail.

The DVD is about Kim's wealth attraction/creation strategy. i.e. how does she attract things easily and effortlessly into her life. It is not very often a NLP trainer, Tom, sees another trainer with a strategy and models them directly. It should be noted that the strategy can be used for more than just attracting money. Yet at this present time, money is in the minds of many people.

You will have to decide if Kim has or portrays the amount of money, wealth and abundance that you want in your life. I'm still a fan of Randy Gage's definition. Anything less than $10 million and you are poor.

I watched the DVD, made my own notes as I went along and then went over the accompanying work book. Normally I like to write up my review as soon as possible after reading or watching whatever it is I have to hand. If I notice synchronicity, events or items later on I h add them to the review.

The interesting part for me was that for whatever reason. I think it may have been dinner! I didn't write up my post. I waited days before I wrote my post. Despite the quality of the recording and my other misgivings. I've notice a key part of the strategy appearing in my own life. The step is think about something that you want to attract into your life. Then at the end of the strategy, just think for saying to yourself. Of course, it will happen, why shouldn't it.? Just knowing that will happens, as sure as night follows day, or the example they use is, as holding a pen in your hand and letting go of it. You know that the pen will fall to the ground. That knowing of certainty, is what you went when you begin to think about attracting something into your life.

I want this in my life...of course it will happen. As sure as night follows day!

So far, they are the only couple or person that I know of who have included this in their attraction strategy, that I have without realising it, incorporated into my attraction strategy. Well Done! If you fancy expanding your attraction strategy, it may well be worth checking out, here.

The other downside, although not connected to the DVD is that I've emailed them twice via their support system and still had no reply. If your website is your shop window, answer email! The best way to keep and attract new customers is to be in constant contact with them.

Review - Lloyd Glauberman - Money, Wealth and Prosperity

All,

I've started to reviews things I've listened and worked through in the past. Both those that I've enjoyed and those I've not enjoyed. Some items I think have helped me, some I've listened to and thought well that was nice, but it just didn't do anything for me.

Today, I'm reviewing Lloyd Glauberman's Money, Wealth and Prosperity program.



I can't remember how I ended up finding out about Lloyd or his work. I've been listening to the following for just under a month. Following the advice given and reading posts on the HPPforum, I've listened to the recording certainly the first 2 or 3 weeks every day. Normally first thing in the morning. I've also listened to it during my lunch hour or on the way home from the city on the train. I've also listened to it before I fall asleep. I'm not sure when is the best time to listen to this or other recordings. It is just like any recording, listen to it often to begin with and then regularly, until you get what you want.

This recording is 6 tracks in lenght. Each recording is about 25 minutes in lenght. It uses his HPP technology.

Boiled down, that is double induction, deep relaxation, embedded messages all woven witinh a story that is spread out of each of the tracks. Yet each track is a complete story within its self.

If you listen to many hypnosis recordings double inductions aren't anything new. I do like the way no matter which voice you listen to, I've been able to detect a slight pause, before a positive message, embedded command is delivered. I also know I've not heard them all yet.

I'd say I'm pretty ofay with many and most hypnosis inductions. Many people still rely on the classic Elman induction. (Eyes open and shut several times, whilst focusing on a point).Whilst this is effective. It is great to get something different.

Lloyd is a master at story telling. I remeber listening to the 1st track. I don't know how it happened yet I was totally relaxed and my eyes where shut firm. Just like the classic Elman induction. I even tested opening my eyes whilst listening. They were shut tight. For those that don't know, this is perfectly normal when being in trance. It is something I really enjoy. It is always a good sign for me. It means I'm at an excellent level of trance.

Each track is its own little masterpiece of hypnosis and story telling. I know Lloyd comes from a NLP and Ericksonian background. As do I. For me, this may be the closest I get to experience an Erickson induction and metaphor at its best.

The beauty of these recording is that they are fictional in nature. You don't have to spend time going over some worksheet. You really do just have to sit back, relax and listen.

So to the big question does it work?

Do you attract more money, wealth and prosperity into your life? Well, it is 2009. I hated 2008 with a passion. Already I'm loving 2009. I've fired my old accountant, sorted out my business banking. Made an extra £300 without doing anything and the month is only 20 days old or so.

This is one of those recordings I think, yes, listen to it as recommended, then you can listen to it as you wish. I think for the best results, listen to it at least once a month after that of not more. You'll naturally know what is best for you. Choose a track that you are drawn to or liked the first time around. That is how I've done it. I'm already enjoying the success in 2009, I think, yes in part thanks to listening to this recording. Since 2009 I plan to be amazing for myself and my business. I can't wait to see the end results.


Lloyd has many other recordings, availabe here. I can't wait to check some of the others out. The biggest trouble is which one: Personal Ecology: The Complete Self-Esteem Program, Rekindling the Flame, Soul Mates: Improve Your Life Together? Let me know if you prefer one, and I'll grab it.

30 Days Challenges

All,

I've just been listening to Joe Vitale and his Attractor Factor. The last section is about a 30 Day IM meditation . more can be found here about the process. Joe's process, the attractor factor is excellent. I've been doing something similar since I first learned NLP, Hypnosis and Time Line. The last few months, if not longer. I've been stuck releasing limiting limiting decisions and negative emotions.

Eventually, via Joe, I found the technique EFT. I have been having great success over the last few weeks letting go of 'stuff'. I love big physical change. i.e. I there and then feel a physical shift. A great site is here. Brad is excellent at EFT. One of the tenets of EFT is that it always works. If you think about it, that is a very clever belief to hold. If you believe it will always work...well by Joe, it will!

Joe talks about taking inspired action. This is the action, that you feel or think you should make. It is not the big grand gestures. If you feel you should do something, DO IT!

There I was reading the millionairemommynextdoor blog and she has issued a 'challenge'.

http://millionairemommynextdoor.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-want-more-money.html

So for the next 30 days, I'll be doing that as my inspired action and 30 days or IM Meditation.

Silly Money - Reframe

I just caught myself quietly saying to myself the phrase silly money. It got me thinking I've got some work to do there. Then I thought were does that phrase come from . This I could not find out. I then went to my online etymology dictionary , here and did a search for the word silly. Again it would seem we've missed the original meaning of a word.

It comes from the O.E. gesælig "happy" (related to sæl "happiness"), from W.Gmc. *sæligas (cf. O.N. sæll "happy," Goth. sels "good, kindhearted," O.S. salig, M.Du. salich, O.H.G. salig, Ger. selig "blessed, happy, blissful"), from PIE base *sel- "happy" (cf. Gk. hilaros "gay, cheerful," L. solari "to comfort," salvus "whole, safe").

It now means weak and foolish. I am beginning to think it is us who are weak and foolish, not those of past generations

Stinking Rich - Reframe

All,

I heard this phrase over the weekend. Stinking Rich . That got me thinking where does it come from? Have again forgot the meaning.

A quick look at www.etymonline.com suggests we may have.

Originally O.E. stincan "emit a smell of any kind" (class III strong verb; past tense stonc), from W.Gmc. *stenkwanan (cf. O.S. stincan, O.H.G. stinkan, Du. stinken), from the root of stench. O.E. swote stincan "to smell sweet," . So smelling of much was (and still is!) a good thing.

Although I found an excellent idea or theory on a webpage of the word detective:

I'd like to know the meaning behind the phrase "stinking rich." I was told several years ago (while touring a church in Belgium) that it came from the fact that poor people were buried outside the church. The rich were interred inside, in crypts, and when someone in their family died and was to be buried, the stone was rolled away and there was an awful smell -- hence the term "stinking rich." True or false?
