You can find thousands of wealth and success seminars and self-help
courses wherever you look—along with hundreds of thousands of people
taking these courses on a regular basis. Yet, the numbers remain fairly
constant across the board:
Obviously, wealth and success come more naturally to the few than to the
many. Or do they?
What is the ul mate defining factor that separates the wealthiest and most
successful individuals from the other 90% of the popula on?
Many people say it’s educa on. There may be some truth to this, but it’s not
the ulmate defining factor. How do you know? Step into any one of those
wealth-building mega-seminars and take a closer look.
Examine two students si ng side by side, with similar backgrounds, resources
and opportunity, now receiving the same mo vaonal pep talk, the same
educaonal materials, creave inspiring ideas, and me to implement their
newly-found knowledge.
One will learn a lot and feel like he got great value, but never do anything
spectacular with what he’s received. The other one? He’ll triple his income with
just a single idea and become a powerhouse in his field.
Two similar students. The same educa on. What’s the di ff erence?
Very simple. One of the students had emo onal barriers that prevented him
from acng when the me was most opportune, from trus ng his gut, from
moving forward when the light was green.
The other student, without the con flicng thoughts and feelings that create
self-sabotage and other internal blocks, simply moved forward according to
plan and reaped the rewards of doing so.
Well, it’s true. Your blocks to your wealth and success are very personal to you.
So, here’s a short exercise to give you a glimpse of what your very personal
blocks are….
• Take out a pen or get on your computer and write down any and all answers
that come to mind when you ask yourself the following ques on:
• Briefly review in your mind your last conversa ons about money, the last
me you thought about it or paid bills, went to get a loan, checked your credit
report, looked at your bank statement or por t olio, tried to make a sale or
close a deal, thought about your income or your en re financial situaon,
and so on.
But don’t think too much. Just take 5 minutes and write non-stop in answer
to the queson above.
Done? Good!
As you read what you wrote aloud, a fer each sentence ask yourself
this queson:
• And then jot down the emo on of that sentence in the margin.

It’s not your perceived limita ons that keep you where
you’re at, but your feelings about your circumstances that stop you from
moving into the tenth percen le of those who manifest the life of their dreams.
Yes, it’s only unmastered emo ons that stand in the way of 90% of the
populaon having the wealth and success that they truly desire.
Remove emoons like these and people tend to move forward toward their
goals with far greater ease and success.
But the truth is your subconscious thoughts and feelings are being re flected
in your moods and emo ons from moment to moment. When you go to pay
bills and you feel like throwing something against the wall—or ea ng a quart
of ice cream—you do not have to run to therapy or probe your past to find a
corresponding negave belief.
All you have to do is to pause and release any feeling that is arising in the
moment.
Take a moment to check inside and no ce any feeling you may be
having in this moment.
“Could I let this feeling go?” (In other words, am I able to?)
The pracce of releasing emo ons as they arise in the moment eliminates
liming beliefs quickly, e ff ecvely and without dredging up any past trauma.
Self-sabotaging beliefs are gone for good.
“You cannot solve a problem from the sa me consciousness that created it.
You must learn to see the world anew.” –Albert Einstein
If you want to be able to manifest the life of your dreams, you don’t need to dig
up your past or spend years in therapy. You do, however, need the skill of being
able to change your emo onal state in the moment.
Yes, your emoons are the glue that holds your thoughts and beliefs in
place.
Which brings me to the next very popular cultural myth about wealth
and success…
This myth has been propaga ng wildly out of control since the debut of the
blockbuster film The Secret grabbed the aenon of the world.
The Secret , as you may know, talked about the importance of the Law of
Aracon. In short, if you hold in mind that which you desire to create, you
will aract it to you.
Well, yes and no. There are a couple of clari ficaons that need to be made
here.
The first one is all the emo ons you have that are running counter to
whatever you are holding in mind—as we learned from the previous
myths.
The second is that the process is not complete un l you have let the
goal itself go!
They count their paper pro fits and spend them mentally before the
actual results come in. They also tend to stay in a transac on longer
than they should, because it might get be er.
Both of these ac ons are due to lust and its inherent subs tuon
of fantasy for what is. If you find yourself fantasizing about your
financial situa on, you can let go of your lust instantaneously by
using a simple releasing process that’s an alterna ve to “head
banking” that really works:
10
• Can you feel the lust feeling associated with that want?
• Dig a li le deeper. Can you feel the feeling of “I can’t” built into the lust?
• Can you welcome the sensa ons, sounds and pictures coming from the
feeling of “I can’t”?
If you release before you enter or leave any business deal or stock transac on,
you will find that your ming improves.
If you also let go before you act when you have a hunch, you will be able to
tell the di ff erence between intui on and fear or greed. The more you use
the Method in all your business ac vies, the more you will find yourself
following fact instead of fantasy, and intui on rather than lust and fear.
If you honestly examine your past experiences, you’ll discover that most
of the goals you’ve achieved are the ones that you let go of wan ng –
even if not by choice. You may have really wanted them at one me, but
it’s in the process of le ng go of your desire that the energy is freed up
within you, making it much more likely that your goal will manifest.
This is not just my point of view. Nearly half of the other original 24
teachers of The Secret besides me also use le ng go or “releasing”
11 to manifest their heart’s desires. And that’s because it works.
Ironically, the more hootless you are about your goals, the more likely you are
to get them. To some of you this may sound outlandish. Which brings us to
our next obstacle to achieving wealth and success…
We get stuck in a certain mindset and set of circumstances and we just simply
don’t believe wealth and success are a present possibility because they are in
such stark contrast to our current reality.
A more recent variaon of this myth, “I don’t believe it will happen for me
in this economy ,” really has a foothold on many people right now.
But if you take a look at history, even in the worst economic mes, there
are always people who thrive despite what’s going on around them.
The economy at large is just a general re flecon of what the greater
numbers of people are thinking, feeling and believing.
It does not have to be this way! All forms of releasing help you break free of
your limi tn
g beliefs.
When you set a goal for yourself, you can choose to bring into your awareness
the aachments and aversions you have to that par cular issue. Then, as you
release or let go of your a achments and aversions to the goal, you will either
achieve it or you won’t. Either way, you’ll have lightened your load of su ff ering.
One of the five ways of releasing is called Holis c Releasing. This is a technique
in which you release back and forth between two di ff erent polaries or
opposites.
• Then take a moment to feel anything that comes up for you with this
queson.
• Ask the ques ons again, one at a me, taking a moment with
each one to no ce what you feel.
• Keep asking the ques ons unl your emoons on both sides
are neutral.

As you use your natural ability to release, you’ll create a solid, posi ve mental
atude that will help you succeed where others might fail, even in today’s
challenging economic tmes.
This leaves you free and unencumbered to create the wealth and success you
desire.
• It’s only your own unwanted emo ons that stand in the way of you
manifesng the life of your dreams.
• The good news is that you can eliminate thoughts and feelings that
sabotage your success by learning to release them in the moment
without having to dredge up the past or spend years in therapy. This is
the way you create the op mum state within yourself most likely to
produce the results you want.
• The prac ce of releasing negave thoughts and emo ons as they
arise sets you free to be, do or have whatever you desire. This is the
way you achieve emoonal mastery—and mastery over your own
life. Releasing sets you free to have, be and do whatever you desire.
