Foreword ~17~

What, in your opinion, is the greatest


discovery of all time?
The finding of dinosaur eggs on the
plains of Mongolia, laid—so scientists
assert—some 10,000,000 years ago? The
unearthing of the Tomb of King Tut, with
its matchless specimens of a bygone civili-
zation? The radioactive time clock by
which Professor Lane of Tufts College esti-
mates the age of the earth at 1,250,000,000
years? The computer? The airplane? Men
walking on the moon?
No—not any of these.
This is the greatest discovery of all time:
that every man can call upon this “It
Factor” at will, that it is as much the
servant of his mind as was ever Aladdin’s
fabled “genie-of-the-lamp”; that he has but
to understand “It” and work in harmony
with it to get from it anything he may
desire, health, happiness, riches, or success.
~Robert Collier

“Thoughts are but gods and actions prophets,


the offspring thereof are the things that dreams

Introduction ~19~

The Universe is a dynamic energy system


in a constant state of change. Everything
your eyes see is made up of energy parti-
cles under your co-control. Scientific evi-
dence now proves that you cause, or
co-cause, everything you observe. All you
need to do is choose what you desire to
manifest, choose it with certainty and
consistency, and this simple act will set
into motion the process of change, de-
pending on your clarity, focus, and cer-
tainty. Life, in other words, will meet you
at your point of expectancy.
This book is a compilation of some of
the greatest self-help concepts ever devised.
This work did not source from its author.
Innumerable list of amazing people con-
tinue to be my teachers. Your success is
its ultimate goal. Through the pages of
this book, you will learn how to control
your thoughts using time-tested principles
so powerful that your life will instantly
become a magnet for attracting the life
you have always desired.

“Abundance is not something I acquire it is


who I am.”
~20~ THE IT FACTOR

You can have anything you desire:


wealth, a loving relationship, radiant health,
true happiness, and a life of ease. You can
have anything your heart desires, once you
understand “It”.
For the first time in history, experts
from all over the world, in every major
field such as religion, science, psychology,
quantum physics, metaphysics, medicine,
spirituality, and human potential, all agree
that there is only one way, one process, and
one key factor to creating anything in your
life, including prosperity, happiness, health,
etc…
“It” is the only known way that anything
has ever been created, and now you can use
“It” to create your heartfelt desires.
People like Oprah Winfrey, Mary Kay
Ash, Dave Thomas, Bill Gates, Andrew
Carnegie, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, Henry
Ford, J. Rockefeller, Einstein, Thoreau,
Columbus, Galileo, Gandhi, and even the
Buddha and Jesus have used “It” to create
miracles and transform their world.

“Greatness does not come from doing extraordinary


things; it’s a by-product of doing ordinary things
with excellence.”
INTRODUCTION ~21~

Experts are now calling “It” the “very


thing responsible for origination of all
things, everywhere.” And with “It”, you
can create miracles in your life.
This powerfully inspiring book was
birthed out of my family’s need for answers
after being scammed out of our entire life’s
savings. How do you move beyond the
tears of betrayal? How do you move be-
yond the loss of a dream? How do you
move beyond hatred and resentment? In
this book, you will discover the answers to
these questions and so many more.
Why do some people seem to struggle
their whole lives while others seem
destined to live more abundant lives? What
if you could enjoy a more abundant life-
style without sacrificing anything you hold
dear? Well, you can!

“Your troubles will promote you, if you hold to


your integrity and faith in the Almighty.”
~22~ THE IT FACTOR

You are about to embark on a journey


that will radically transform your life
forever. By incorporating the principles in
this book to your life, you will begin to tap
into the unlimited power of the Universe.
My heartfelt desire is that each and every
reader recognizes who he or she is, what he
or she can accomplish and that they live it!

“The greatest discovery of my genera-


tion is that a human being can alter his
life by altering his attitudes of mind.”
~William James

THE RESPONSIBILITY CREED


I am responsible for how I see.
What I seek is what I receive.
I choose those feelings I experience.
Within myself I find deliverance.
I decide those goals I will achieve.
What I will be is up to me.
All that I am, I’ve asked for.
I need only to ask if I desire more.
I am responsible; I now understand.
As I think, so I am.

“As you think in your ‘I AM’ statements, so you are.”

The Old Story

Why do bad things happen to good people


and seemingly good things happen to bad
people? Why do some people seem to be
destined for good fortune while others live
their entire lives under a cloud of misfor-
tune? Are some people just born lucky
while others are damned at birth?
A few years ago, my wife and I received
a very sizeable inheritance. Because of our
personal convictions, we didn’t want to be
one of those all too familiar fly-by-night
stories you are told about on the evening
news: “Affluent couple’s wealth here one
minute, gone the next.” Desiring to be wise
stewards with our inheritance, we decided
to invest a portion of it.
After interviewing a number of Atlanta’s
top financial managers, we contacted a
friend a well-known Atlanta businessman.
He was of the city’s social elite, and he
introduced us to Mr. Jones, a man he had
been investing with for well over ten years.
He considered this man to be a financial

“Desires are our best predictors of things we


have been destined to accomplish.”
~24~ THE IT FACTOR

genius (the Warren Buffett of Atlanta).


Mr. Jones was a charismatic MBA graduate
from Harvard University whose clientele
included professional athletes, doctors,
attorneys and other high-profile clientele in
Atlanta and throughout the world.
To say the least, life was good. We were
living the dream. We enjoyed a very lucra-
tive counseling, coaching, training and
development business, amongst our other
business ventures. We had millions in the
bank, business was good, and we traveled
at our leisure without a care in the world.
So what went wrong?
After investing with Mr. Jones for a
little over a year, we received word that our
entire life’s saving had been cleaned out.
Mr. Jones had been operating a very elabo-
rate, 250 million dollar Ponzi scheme,
directly impacting over 500 investors. The
man we believed to be an angel sent from
God turned out to be a demon from Hell.
My wife later said, “We had been blessed
by God and gave it to the devil.”

“Heaven and hell are one and the same


depending upon one’s mental frame.”
THE OLD STORY ~25~

Under Mr. Jones’ supposed guidance,


we had established a family trust account to
assist our parents in their senior years,
ensure the future of our children and their
education, and our retirement. We had
blessed our family, friends and others. We
had been in the process of establishing a
foundation in order to pursue our philan-
thropic endeavors. But it was all over. Mr.
Jones had defrauded us of all we had. He
left us penniless and millions of dollars in
debt.
We believed we had performed our due
diligence. How could we have been so
wrong? We felt financially violated, raped
and pillaged. Our trust had been betrayed.
My wife would often wake up in the
middle of the night with tear-filled eyes,
crying out, “I HATE HIM!” and I would
assure her that we had been blessed once
and we would blessed again. Our saving
grace was our relationship with one another,
which was quickly eroding.

“It is impossible to think something in thought


form and not manifest its physical equivalent in
reality.”
~26~ THE IT FACTOR

My wife and I began to quarrel over the


most trivial things, such as leaving the cap
off the toothpaste, a dish in the sink, or for-
getting to take out the dog. The simplest
things seemed to catapult us into a confron-
tation of rage.
We found it easier to avoid conversing
altogether. This was worse, of course,
because our frustrations were just bottled
up inside. It didn’t take much for us to
make a mountain out of a molehill. I hated
the way we treated each other. I could not
continue this downward spiral.
I neglected myself, my marriage, and
my business, and a trail of neglect quickly
followed every other aspect of my life. It
has been said, “The way you do anything is
the way you do everything.”
For five years we had been struggling
futilely to save our marriage, business,
finances and our lives. It looked at last as if
our fight was coming to a dreaded end. All
of our dreams seemed to come crumbling
down around us. But we had done every-
thing we knew to do.

“Impoverishment is a human condition of the


mind being neither spiritual nor divine.”
THE OLD STORY ~27~

We were devastated! The bright future


we had anticipated was nowhere in sight.
We had lost everything and had accumu-
lated millions of dollars in debt. No cash.
No credit. No ability to regroup. Life as we
knew it ceased to exist. We were broke and
considering filing for bankruptcy, faced
with the possibility of losing our home,
cars and everything we held dear.
At that moment my wife was the only
thing that stood between me and my
mortality. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if she
would be enough to dissuade me from my
aim of ending my life. When you spend
almost a decade of your life with someone,
you are certain to have your share of ups
and downs. Despite that, I could truly say I
loved her more than anything in this world.
She was my guiding light in this extremely
ominous world, but even her beacon of
hope had begun to fade.

“The universe is a mirror which gives to every


person the fulfillment of their thoughts. What
you mind always matters without exception.”

Moment of Change

One evening while lying in bed staring in-


tensely at the ceiling, I realized that I held
the pen to my own story. By way of my
predominant thoughts, words, and actions, I
had unconsciously written my story. I had
been created in the image and likeness of
God and I had been given authority on the
earth. So, why did I choose to live such a
menial existence?
I had always been led to believe that
people, circumstances, and events were in
control of my life. When I began to change
my thoughts, words, and actions, my life
also began to change. I began to imagine
my life the way I desired it to be. I realized
that it was never too late to become who I
was destined to be.
I walked to the bathroom adjoining the
bedroom. I took a very long look at my
image in the mirror. It was at that moment
that I realized that my problem wasn’t God,
the devil, the lawyers, my wife, family,
business, employers, employees, customers,
Mr. Jones, or anyone else. It was me.

“Desire or dread so shall it be, you will have as


you believe.”
~32~ THE IT FACTOR

We are not victims of the world in


which we lived, but our world is the by-
product of our thoughts, words and actions.
I knew that if my life was going to change,
it would have to begin with me. Our outer
world is always an expression of our inner
reality. We error when we believe that
outward circumstances is the reason for
change and fail to look within. I had failed
to realize that the very thing I sought to
bring me happiness was within me all
along. I got “It”!
Your thoughts have the power to go out
and literally create and attract people,
circumstances and events in your life. You
now have the option of using this power to
bring about what you desire. If you use this
power correctly, you can create miracles in
your life and live the life you’ve always
desired. It is very important that you under-
stand exactly how this process works and
how you can effectively and predictably
create the life you have always desired.

“When you forgive you forgive but yourself.”

The New Story

Success begins with telling yourself a new


story about the person you desire to be-
come. Begin telling yourself a new story
about wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
Begin telling yourself a new story about
your ideal mate and living happily ever
after. Begin telling yourself a new story
about prospering and impacting the lives of
others.
Begin telling yourself a new story about
your ideal health and feeling great. Begin
telling yourself a new story about your
success and achievements. When you tell
yourself a new story, the Universe accepted
your feelings, thoughts, words, and actions
as natural and normal for you and responded
accordingly. You will begin feeling happier
within, and as a result, your relationships,
business and overall quality of life will
improve far beyond what you can ask,
think or imagine.

“Act as if and so shall it be. You can have what


you think, ‘if you believe.’”
~36~ THE IT FACTOR

When you tell yourself a new story,


your whole world will begin to change, and
you begin to experience the manifestation
of your dreams.
Telling yourself a new story will make
you do things you would not normally do.
You will create a whole new paradigm for
successful living. Telling yourself a new
story keeps you focused on your desire. It
keeps you confident in its demonstration. It
diminishes doubt. It strengthens belief and
faith. You might even say it fools your sub-
conscious into accepting without question
what you want to happen.
Telling yourself a new story will have
you living in your manifestation in the
physical world. Telling a new story will
cause you to expand and experience things
you would not have otherwise. Life will
open up for you doors of opportunities once
only dreamed of and success beyond your
wildest dreams.

“Great thoughts lived out become legacies.”

What’s Your Story?

What story have you been telling yourself?


Is it a story of lack, loss, and limitations?
Are you telling your story over and over?
You can probably point to any number of
things that demonstrate how true your story
is.
You must begin telling yourself a new
story. In the beginning, the “new” story
may not sound true for you…but keep
telling it; tell it with all the fervor and
emotion you put into telling the “old” story.
Keep telling it until it becomes real for you
and watch how your life shifts in alignment
with your new beliefs.
Your thoughts have the power to go out
and literally create and attract the people,
events, and circumstances in your life. You
now have the option of using this power to
bring about what you desire. If you use this
power correctly, you can create miracles in
your life and live the life you’ve always
wanted. The only thing required for this is
awareness.

“The secret to life is simply to think about what


you desire, begin living according to that desire,
and its attainment is certain.”
~40~ THE IT FACTOR

Creation is the byproduct of who you


are. You cannot help but to create. The
question is, what are you creating, creator?
It is important for you to understand that
thoughts are things. If you are not happy
with your manifestation, begin to change it
by changing your intention and attention.
What you think about, you bring about
without fail.
From this moment forward, you can
make excuses to your friends, your family
and yourself, or you can create the life you
have always desired, but you can’t DO
BOTH! After today, you will have the
knowledge and ability to change your life!
What you do with “It” is up to you.
There is simply no better way to learn
than to follow in the footsteps of someone
who’s done it before you. Now you may
CHOOSE not to do anything with what you
learn here, but that will be your choice,
because after today you WILL NOT have
any excuses, because you will know how to
create a happier and a more fulfilling life.

“Jesus was not the exception he was the example.


What God did through Jesus He desires to do
through you, ‘if you can believe.’”

It’s All Good

Robert Collier said, “Every condition,


every experience of life is the result of our
mental attitude. We can do only what we
think we can do. We can be only what we
think we can be. We can have only what we
think we can have. What we do, what we
are, what we have, all depend upon what
we think. We can never express anything
that we do not first have in mind. The
secret of all power, all success, all riches,
is in first thinking powerful thoughts,
successful thoughts, and thoughts of wealth
of supply. We must build them in our own
mind first.”
William James, the famous psycholo-
gist, said, “The greatest discovery in the
last hundred years was the discovery of the
power of the sub-conscious mind. The
greatest discovery of all time is that man
has within himself the power to control his
surroundings, that he is not at the mercy of
chance or luck, that he is the arbiter of his
own fortunes, and that he can carve out his
own destiny.”

“Luck is life’s undertakings creating after its kind.”


~44~ THE IT FACTOR

Ann Wigmore said, “Every thought has


the power to bring into being the visible
from the invisible. It is absolutely neces-
sary for us all to understand that everything
we think, do or say comes back to us.
Every thought, word or action- without
exception- manifests itself [in some way]
as an actual reality.”
Buddha said, “All that we are is the
result of what we have thought. The mind
is everything. What we think, we become.
We are what we think. All that we are arises
with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we
make our world.”
Jesus said, “All things are possible if
you believe. Ask and you shall receive,
seek and you shall find, knock and it shall
be opened unto you. Therefore I say unto
you, whatever you desire when you pray,
believe that you receive them, and you
shall have them. If you have faith, you shall
say unto this mountain, move hence to
yonder place; and it shall move; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you. For
have I not said, you are gods?”

“‘I AM’ are two of the most powerful words in the


universe, take heed what you attach them to.”

The Law of Vibration


Jesus laid down the “Law of Vibration”
when he said, “Judge not, and you shall not
be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not
be condemned. Forgive, and you will be
forgiven. Give and it will be given to you:
good measure, pressed down, shaken
together, and running over will be put into
your bosom. For with the same measure
that you use, it will be measured back to
you.” ~Luke 6:37-38
“But seek first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness, and all these things shall
be added to you.” And what is the Kingdom
of God? “The Kingdom of God is within
you.” ~Matthew 6:33 & Luke 17:21
Apostle Paul said, “Beloved, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatso-
ever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.”
~Philippians 4:8

“Everything creates after its kind. Even


thoughts must create in the physical after its
mental equivalent.”
~48~ THE IT FACTOR

The Law of Vibrational Match can be


summed up in the question, “How do you
feel?” Being is the first cause, then follows
thinking, speaking and acting. Jesus talked
about “vibrational laws” when he said, “For
whoever has, to him more shall be given,
and he will have an abundance; but who-
ever does not have, even what he has shall
be taken away from him.”
You will know your vibrational match
by your dominant feeling. Your attraction
meter (which registers your vibration) is
your feelings. Your still small voice speaks
to you through your feelings and is saying
when you feel positive, “Hey, keep going -
you're in alignment with your desire” and
when you feel negative, your still small
voice is saying, “Hey, stop, you're NOT in
alignment with what you desire.”
When you feel positive, then you are in
vibrational harmony with your desires. Any
feeling of negativity is your signal that if
you keep thinking the thoughts you're pres-
ently thinking, you'll create something in
harmony with your predominant thought.

“Thought impressions become life expressions.”


THE LAW OF VIBRATION ~49~

For example, let's say you desire to


attract your ideal mate. In order to become
a vibrational match, you would meditate on
your desired mate, work diligently to obtain
the character and personality needed to
attract your ideal mate, choose to be in a
state of joy while meditation on your
desired mate, and focus on taking action
both spiritually and physically to attract
your ideal mate. You would then be a vibra-
tional match to your desire. Being is the
prerequisite for attraction, alike states
attract.
The best way to overcome undesirable
thoughts, feelings, and vibrations is to pay
as little attention as possible to these can-
cers of the mind, while cultivating positive
thoughts, feelings, and vibrations. Of
course these negative hobgoblins of the
mind will resist vigorously at first, for it is a
fight for their very existence.

“You need simply to change your thoughts to


change your world.”

Architects of Success

Studies of the world’s greatest people re-


veal that they all have three key factors in
common. The key question is, were these
individuals born exceptional, or did they
become great over time? The next question
is, are these factors limited to a gifted few,
or can anyone develop them?
What are some key characteristics of the
world’s greatest people? Here are three
common factors that all great people share.
Great people act, speak, and think with a
sense of certainty. Failure isn’t an option
for these architects of success.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to
unleash the greatness within you. Others
have already paved the way to your
success. All you have to do is follow it, be
persistent, be honest, and you will arrive at
your desired end. Stop settling for a minimal
existence. Dare to tap into your greatness.
It’s your birthright; claim it and behold
your transformation.

“God is the source and essence of all abundance,


apart from Him there can be no abundance.”
~54~ THE IT FACTOR

What is that dream you desire to begin


living? Does one thing or another always
seem to get in your way? What you need is
a way to get motivated to start taking action
in your life right now. You can find the
inspiration and the power within yourself to
begin living your dream this very moment.
Take action right now and begin turning
your dream into reality. Act now on the
people, things, and circumstances in your
life and begin living the life you have envi-
sioned. See that vision in everything you
do. Say to yourself, “I am doing this action
in order to transform my dreams into reality.”
Without a compelling desire, the reasons
for action cease to exist. Desire is the only
entity that directs action by identifying an
end and searching for means by which that
end is manifestation and bought about.
Reasons are your guideposts for deliberate
action. Your desire to change must be
greater than your present circumstance.
Wake up and start re-creating your life
from the inside-out!

“Each person life is made up of infinite


particles of possibilities and through thought
we fashion those particles into what is
commonly called reality.”

Ask and Receive


I found the following steps paramount in
my own journey of change. I believe they
will be beneficial in your transformation:
Ask for what you desire. Write out a
concise statement expressing what you
desire the Universe to act upon. Set a defi-
nite timeframe for its attainment. Memorize
your statement and repeat it often through-
out the day, especially first thing in the
morning and just before going to sleep.
See yourself possessing what you ask
for. When you repeat your statement,
BELIEVE that it is being acted upon by the
Universe. Close your statement by express-
ing gratitude for having received what you
asked for or something better.
Know with certainty that your desire is
being manifested and get excited! Realize
that your request was fulfilled the moment
you spoke it into existence. The Universe
acts instantaneously on thoughts expressed
with conviction in highly emotional states,
either positive or negative.

“I am abundance seeking manifestation.”


~58~ THE IT FACTOR

William Lyon Phelps said, “If you


develop the absolute sense of certainty that
powerful beliefs provide, you can get your-
self to accomplish virtually anything,
including those things that other people are
certain are impossible.” Skepticism is
natural. But when doubts arise, return to
your list. Remember, nothing can prevent
you from having that which you earnestly
desire. The Universe within seeks only to
fulfill your heart’s desire.
David Cameron Gikandi said, “Certainty
is the antidote to failure.” Certainty is one
of the most powerful forces in the Universe
and a necessary component in the creation
process. You cannot create anything of
significance without certainty. Thoughts,
words, and actions become null and void
without integration of certainty.
Do not entertain negative thoughts. Be
mindful of these mental cancers and you
will be able to discover their cause and
eventually eradicate them by exchanging
them with more desirable thoughts.

“There is only one reason we fail to prosper


and it’s because we do not believe we can.”

Life is a Prayer

Your life is a prayer. What you think in


your heart, you manifest in life. Repeated
thought brings about its equivalent. You are
entitled to miracles. Divine Manifestation
is your birthright. Miracles are perfectly
natural. Like a beautiful butterfly awaiting
its metamorphosis, your miracle is within
you. The secret to creating miracles in your
life is to embrace your oneness with the
ALLNESS (God) in the moment of Now.
Miracles are manifested by living life
unreservedly and lovingly embracing each
moment for the gift it brings.
All miracles are conceived in thought
and actualized in what is commonly called
reality. To change your life, you must
change your thoughts, words, and actions.
That requires discipline and practice. Once
you realize that miracles are manifested
within you, a whole new world will open up
to you. In other words, your world will
become what you think about “It” most of
the time, without fail.

“Your life is a prayer; every thought a request


and every act an answer.”
~62~ THE IT FACTOR

Though these truths are not new, they


are only put into practice by an extraordi-
nary few. The secret of the ages is that
“You are gods; children of the Most High.
The Spirit of God dwells in you. You have
been created in the image and likeness of
God. You have been created just a little
lower than the angels, crowned with glory,
honor, and power. You are co-creator with
the Creator of the Universe. You have been
given authority over all the works of His
hands.” ~The Bible
It's never too late to become who you
were destined to be. The best way to create
your future is to think about it as often as
possible while adhering to the principles
herein. Success breeds success. All thought
is creative, both positive and negative,
without exception. This simply means you
attract to yourself those things you have
imagined by way of your predominant
thoughts. Jesus said, “According to your
faith, be it done unto you.” Your life is the
offspring of your thoughts, words and actions.
In short, your life is your answer to your
prevailing thoughts and prayers.

“The things you desire is God desiring them


through you.”

After the Story

I wish I could say that after the discovery


of The It Factor that my life miraculously
changed overnight. But that’s not the case.
The story about my marriage, business and
quality of life only improved as I continue
to tell myself a better feeling story. I am
happier now than I have ever been in my
life. As you tell yourself a better feeling
story, impregnate your thoughts, words,
and actions with faith, your life will im-
prove, it must.
Precious child of God, you have been
endowed with happiness, prosperity, peace,
and success. The secret to an extraordinary
life is to begin telling yourself the greatest
story imaginable. You are the writer of your
story. Your life is the page upon which your
story is written. Imagine your greatest possi-
ble outcome and know that the Universe
will far exceed anything you can ask, think,
or imagine. “No eye has seen, no ear has
heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of
men the things God has for those who love
Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). You cannot out
dream God, so dream big dreams! You will
not be disappointed. I guarantee it!

“Only you can create your perfect world. Not God,


nor man; only you can create your perfect world.”

The Answer
Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived
in the tiny village and was well known for his wis-
dom. It seemed that he could answer any question
that was posed at him. And there was a young man
who had questioned the wise man for few times
just to trick and prove the old man can be wrong.
But he hadn’t been successful until one day he
found another idea. He would hold a little bird in
his hand and hid behind his back. He would then
ask the wise man whether the bird in his hand was
dead or alive.
What happen is… if the wise man says that the
little bird is alive, the young man will squeeze hard
to kill the bird to prove that he is wrong. On the
other hand, if the wise man says that it is dead, he
will let the bird fly off, proving that the wise man
is wrong. So, either way the wise man will be
wrong. The young man thought that it was his
time to shine!
As he approached the wise man, he said, “Old
man, there is a bird in my hand. Is it alive or
dead?” The old man was quiet. The young man
asked again, “Old man in my hand is a bird. Is it
alive or dead?” Still the old man said nothing. The
young man for the third time asked again, “Old
man in my hand is a bird. Is it alive or dead?”
Then finally the old man gave his answer with
a low but firm voice, “The answer to that question
lays in YOUR hands, young man.”
