THE SECRET TO MONEY.“Whatever the mind…….can conceive it can achieve”W.Clement Stone (1902-2002)JACK CANFIELDThe Secret was a real transformation for me, because I grew up with a very negativefather who thought that rich people were people that had ripped everyone off and thoughtthat anyone that had money must have deceived somebody. So I grew up with a lot of beliefs about money, that if you had it, it made you bad, only evil people have money andmoney doesn’t grow on trees. “Who do you think I am Rockeffeller?” That was one of his favorite phrases. So I grew up truly believing that life was difficult. It was only whenI met W.Clement Stone that I began to shift my life.When I was working with Stone, he said “I want you to set a goal that’s so big that if youachieved it, it would blow your mind and you would know it’s only because of what I’vetaught you that you would have achieved this goal.” At that time I was making abouteight thousand dollars in a year, so I said “I want to make a hundred thousand dollars in ayear.” Now; I had no idea how I could do that. I saw no strategy , no possibility, but I justsaid, “I’m going to declare that, I’m going to believe it, I’m going to act as if it’s true andrelease it.” So I did that.One of the things he taught me was everyday to close your eyes and visualize the goals asif it’s already achieved. I had actually made a hundred-thousand-dollar bill that I’d put onthe ceiling. So first thing in the morning I’d look up and there it was and it would remainme that this was my intention. Then I would close my eyes and visualize having thishundred thousand dollar a year lifestyle. Interestingly enough, nothing major happenedfor about thirty days. I didn’t have any great breakthrough ideas; no one was offering memore money.About four weeks into it, I had a hundred thousand dollar idea. It just came right into myhead. I had a book I had written and I said “If I can sell four hundred thousand copies of my book at a quarter each, that’d be a hundred thousand dollars.” Now, the book wasthere, but I never had this thought. (one of The Secrets is that when you have an inspiredthought, you have to trust it and act on it.) I didn’t know how I was going to sell four hundred thousand copies. Then I saw the National Enquirer at the supermarket. I had seenthat millions of times and it was just background. And all of a sudden it jumped out at meas foreground. I thought, “If readers know about my book, certainly four hundredthousand people would go out and buy it.”About six weeks later I gave a talk at Hunter College in New York to six hundredteachers, and afternoon a woman approached me and said, “that was a great talk. I wantto interview you. Let me give you my card.” As it turns out, she was a freelance writer who sold her stories to the National Enquirer. The theme from “The Twilight Zone” wentoff in my head, like whoah, this stuff’s really working. That article came out and our book sales started to take off.The point I want to make is that I was attracting into my life all these different events,including this person. To make a long story short, I did not make a hundred thousanddollars that year. We made ninety-two thousand three hundred and twenty-seven dollars.But do you think we were depressed and saying, “This doesn’t work?” No, we were1

saying, “This is amazing!” so my wife said to me, “If it works for a hundred thousand, doyou think it’d work for a million?” and I said, “I don’t know, I think so. Let’s try it.”My publisher wrote me a royalty cheque for our first Chicken Soup for the Soul book.And he actually put a smiley face in his sigmature, because it was the first million-dollar cheque he’d ever written.So I know from my own experience, because I wanted to test it. Does this Secret reallywork? We put it to the test. It absolutely worked and now I live my life from that everysingle day.The knowledge of The Secret and the international use of the law of attaraction can beapplied to every single subject in your life. It is the same process for everything you wantto create and the subject of money is no different.To attract money, you must focus on wealth. It is impossible to bring more money intoyour life when you are thinking thoughts that you do not have enough. Focus on notenough money and you will create untold more circumstances of not having enoughmoney. You must focus on the abundance of money to bring that to you.You have to emit a new signal with your thoughts, and those thoughts should be that youcurrently have more than enough. You really do need to call your imagination into playand make believe you already have the money you want. And it is so much fun to do! Youwill notice as pretend and play games of having wealth that you feel instantly better aboutmoney and as you feel better about it, it will begin to flow into your life.Jack’s wonderful story inspired The Secret Team to create a blank cheque available as afree download on The Secret website,www.thesecret.tv.The blank cheque is for you and it is from the Bank of the Universe. You fill in your name, the amount and details and place it in a prominent place where you will see it everyday. When you look at thecheque, feel the feeling of having that money now. Imagine spending that money, all thethings you, will buy and the things you will do. Feel how wonderful that is! Know it isyour because when you ask, it is. We have received hundreds of stories from people whohave brought huge sums of money to them using The Secret Cheque. It’s a fun game thatworks!The only reason any person does not have enough money is because they are blockingmoney from coming to them with the thoughts. Every negative thought, feeling or emotion is blocking your good from coming to you, and that includes money. It is not thatthe money is being kept from you by the Universe, because all the money you requireexists right now in the invisible. If you do not have enough, it is because you are stoppingthe flow of money coming to you, and you are doing that with your thoughts. You musttip the balance of your thoughs from lack-of –money to more than-enough-money. Think more thoughts of abundance than of lack, and you have tipped the balance.When you need money, it is a powerful feeling within you and so of course through thelaw of attraction you will continue to attract needing money.I can speak from experience about money, because just before I discovered The Secretmy accounts told me that my company had suffered a major loss that year, and in threemonths it would be history. After ten years of hard work, my company was about to slipthrough my fingers. And as I needed more money to save my company, things just gotworse. There seemed no way out.Then I discovered The Secret and everything in my life—including the state of mycompany—was totally transformed, because I changed the way I was thinking. As my2

accountants continued to fuss about the figures and focus on that, I kept my mind focusedon abundance and all being well. I knew with every fiber of my being that the Universewould provide, and it did. It provided in ways I could not have imagined. I had mymoments of doubt, but when the doubt came I immediately moved my thoughts to theoutcome of what I wanted. I gave thanks for it, I felt the joy of it and I believed!I want to let you in on a secret to The Secret. The shortcut to any thing you want in your life is to BE and FEEL happy now. It is the fastest way to bring money and anything elseyou want into your life. Focus on radiating out into Universe those feelings of joy andhappiness. When you do that, you will attract back to you all things that bring you joyand happiness, which will not only include an abundance of money, but everything elseyou are wanting. You must radiate out those feelings of happiness, they will be sent back to you as the pictures and experiences of your life. The law of attraction is reflecting back your innermost thoughts as your life.FOCUS ON PROSPERITYDR. JOE VITALE.I can imagine what a lot of people are thinking: “How can I attract more money intomy life? How can I get more of the green stuff? How can I get more of wealth and prosperity? How can I, when I love my job, deal with the credit card debt that I haveand the realization that maybe there’s a ceiling on the money that can come in, causeit’s coming to me through my job? How can I bring in more?” Intend it!This goes back to one of the things we’ve been talking about throughout the wholeSecret. Your job is to declare what you would like to have from the catalogue of theuniverse. If cash is one of them, say how much you would like to have. “ I would liketo have twenty-five thousand dollars, unexpected income, within the next thirtydays,” or whatever it happens to be. It should be believable for you.If you have held thoughts in the past that the only way money can come to you is throughyour job, then let that go immediately. Can you, appreciate that as you continue to think,it must be your experience? Such thoughts do not serve you.You are now coming to understand that there is abundance for you and it is not your jobto work out “HOW” the money will come to you. It is your job to ask, to be believe youare receiving and feel happy now. Leave the details to the universe on how it will bring itabout.BOB PROCTER Most people have a goal of getting out of debt. That will keep you in debt forever.Whatever you’re thinking about, you will attract. You say, “But it’s get out of debt.” Idon’t care if it’s get out or get in, if you’re thinking debt, you’re attracting debt. Setup an automatic debt repayment program and then start to focus on prosperity.When you have a pile of bills that you have no idea how you are going to pay, you cannot focus on those bills, because you will continue to attract more bills. You have to finda way that works for you to focus on prosperity, despite the bills around you. You have tofind a way of feeling good, so you can bring your good to you.3
