“None of your books work!”

“None?”

“None!”

“I’ve written over 50 books. You’re saying not a one of them works?”

“Not for me.”

“Decades ago I attended a seminar that was supposed to be a turning point in my life. I thought it was a waste of time. After it, I met with a friend who pointed out that the seminar was designed to get results, and that it was getting results for others, so maybe it wasn’t the seminar, it was me.”

“Are you blaming me for your books not working?”

“I”m suggesting that you may have some issues about what I teach, and those issues will see to it that the books don’t work.”

“So you’re saying if I believed they would work, they would work?”

“Kinda.”

“So you’re putting all the work on me?”

“Well, I wrote the books, but I can’t do the work for you.”

“You’re like all the other authors!”

“If they are offering you methods that work, and they work for others, but you insist that they don’t work, then it seems logical that the issue is with you, not the books.”

“But others agree with me and say your books don’t work!”

“Of course. I’m sure there are people who believe like you, and you are of course attracting them to you because of your shared belief, but there are many times more people who believe the books do work, and they are attracting evidence to support their beliefs. Both camps are proving the Law of Attraction.”

“Screw books! I’ll wait for the movie.”

“You mean like The Secret?”

“Saw it.  Didn’t work, either.”

“Have you ever thought that the common element in all of your complaints is you?”

“So?! I don’t want to change!”

“Ah. There’s the core of it!”

“Huh?”

“You don’t want to change, so of course nothing will work for you. You’ll see to it that it doesn’t.”

“That’s nonsense!”

Best book on Law of Attraction (The book that got me invited into the movie The Secret)

“In truth, you don’t fear change, you fear the unknown. If you knew change would be good for you, you’d welcome it.”

“But I’m tired of people saying I can have it all.  I can’t!”

“You just affirmed your own limitation.”

“What?”

“You said you are tired of people saying you can have it all and that you can’t have it all. That’s the belief that is creating the reality of nothing working for you. It’s actually all working — to give you exactly what you believe.”

“My head hurts.”

“You are just wrestling with a new view of life that doesn’t yet fit your current view.”

“So what do I do?”

“Read one of my books but this time apply it as you think ‘Maybe this stuff will work for me after all’.”

“It’s that easy?”

“Simple is probably more accurate a word.”

“What should I read?”

“I have numerous free books. Maybe Attract Money Now or pick up either Volume One or Volume Two of The Miracles Manual or if you want a quick read, look at The Abundance Manifesto.”

“Those are all free?”

“Yes. But I have numerous books you can buy at Amazon, too.”

“Free is good.”

“I thought so.”

Ao Akua,

Joe

One of my greatest passions and ongoing commitments in life is Operation Y.E.S. (Your Economic Solution) – a platform to end homelessness by helping people create their own economic solution.

Fortunately, I don’t do this alone.

In fact, I have some formidable partners as committed as I am. One of them is the State Homeless Coordinating Committee for Utah.

They’re on it, you might say.

Since 2005, when they enacted their Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, they’ve seen a decline of 74%.

That’s impressive.

In fact, it’s put Utah “at the forefront of the national effort to end chronic homelessness by 2015.”

Part of their success has come from their early adoption of the Housing First program, which offers housing without bias to the chronically homeless.

This means that instead of placing people into transition housing and requiring their participation in certain programs (such as for substance abuse or mental illness) before they can receive more help, Housing First recognizes housing as a basic right.

The homeless get off the streets first.

The homeless are given a place to live first.

What Utah discovered is that meeting this need increases stability – which in turn supports real change.

Oh, and it saves money — money the state (as taxpayers) would otherwise spend on emergency services and jail.

It’s a win-win.

But it’s not just the chronically homeless that benefit.

They’ve found that by focusing on this particular group it “improves coordination and planning for housing and services for all of the homeless.”

Call it a “trickle-down” effect.

Since families with children are often the victims of homelessness, I applaud this.

Unfortunately, it’s children who suffer exponentially when exposed to this kind of traumatic experience.

According to Utah’s 2013 Comprehensive Report on Homelessness, “Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of homelessness. Homelessness often interrupts schooling and the development of positive peer and mentoring relationships. Homeless children frequently experience dangerous or unhealthy environments and may be more likely to experience homelessness as an adult.”

I believe education is a key to ending homelessness, both for the ones experiencing it and those who are not. Having faced it myself, I know that a major stumbling block resides in the many myths surrounding it.

Not surprisingly, Utah’s got that handled, too.

In their report, they identified the top four myths:

Myth #1 – People who are homeless stay homeless for a long time.

False: Only about 3% are considered chronically homeless.

Myth #2 – Most are single men.

False: Only 29% – the largest number are parents and children.

Myth #3 – The homeless population is transient, migrating to cities with the best services.

False:  Nearly 90% were in Utah when they became homeless.

Myth #4 – They are to blame for their situation.

False:  Many come from situations of abuse, illness and trauma.

In my own efforts to end homelessness and help people become self-sufficient and empowered through education, I started “Operation YES.”

With the help of Craig Perrine, we did a series of interviews with some amazing people who offered their expertise and know-how towards this mission. This series later became a manual called Operation Y.E.S.: Your Economic Solution.

Yes we can end homelessness

Essentially, Operation YES is a 3-part formula designed to help people see beyond the limitations and the traditional categories. It’s all covered in detail in the manual, but the simple version is:

1. Raise or rebuild your self-esteem
2. Think like an entrepreneur
3. Leverage the Internet

If you have a desire to be a part of the solution to end homelessness, you can get your own copy of the manual at no charge at http://www.OperationYes.com

Oh, and if you’re traveling this summer, I hope you’ll stop in Utah.

Let them know they’re doing great things there…:-)

Ao Akua,

Joe

“Where’s my five million dollars?”

“Did you lose five million dollars?”

“No, I’ve been trying to attract it.”

“Where do you think it is?”

“It isn’t here so it must be with you and all the other rich people.”

“What are you doing to attract the money?”

“I’m visualizing it like you and others teach.”

“That’s a nice start. But what are you doing to attract it?”

“I just want to attract it.”

“But how do you expect it to come to you if you don’t actually do something to attract it?”

“I figured it would just show up at my door but so far, nothing!”

“What does it mean that you haven’t attracted that five million dollars yet?”

“It means all of this Law of Attraction stuff is BS!”

“Ah! There it is!”

You want to attract more money? Read the book. It's free.

“There WHAT is?”

“You said ‘It means all of this Law of Attraction stuff is BS’ which is the belief that attracted your not attracting it.”

“Give me a break!”

“You get what you believe. As I keep saying, the meaning you give an event is the belief that attracted it. You admit that you believe this Law of Attraction stuff is BS, so you attracted a reality to prove your belief.”

“But you’re saying if I believed it, I’d attract it!”

“Exactly.”

“But that isn’t true!”

“It isn’t a true belief for you, so it isn’t a true reality for you.”

“You’re making my head swim!”

“I don’t mean to. I understand, though. I used to think like you.”

“How did you change your thinking?”

Get this set if you really want to discover how to attract money

“By starting with the small stuff to build my muscle of belief. I looked at my life and realized I was creating lack, so I figured I must be a good creator of my own reality but just needed to aim higher.”

“That’s it?”

“It’s easier said than done but you can start today.”

“How?”

“Maybe read my book on the subject — relax, it’s free — called Attract Money Now.”

“That’ll bring me five million dollars?”

“You’ll meet it part way. You still have to take action, act on your intuition and the opportunities you see, and take it one step at a time, but where will you be if you keep doing what you’ve been doing?”

“Complaining, I guess.”

“And what will that get you?”

“More to complain about?”

“See? You’re already learning.”

Ao Akua,

Joe

“I’m not a fan of your books.”

“I’m not a fan of your saying that.”

“But your books don’t jell with my experience.”

“Of course they don’t. Your experience is based on your beliefs, and your beliefs don’t match my beliefs, so you naturally can’t be a fan of what you don’t believe.”

“Huh?”

“Look. Your life has been one of struggle. So when you look around, you don’t see positive things. But you are looking around through a brain filter of limiting beliefs, and those beliefs are giving you the life experience of struggle you have.”

“See? You don’t make any sense!”

“Well, if you believed in positive thinking and positive doing, and began to see the positive in what’s already around you, you would attract more positive experiences, and then you would agree with my positive teachings.”

“But that’s not my experience!”

“Exactly. Your current beliefs are attracting your current experiences. You’ll get the same thing in the future as you have in the past until you change your beliefs.”

“You’re not in touch with reality!”

“I’m not in touch with your reality. But I was once. I used to think in terms of struggle, lack, limitation and victimhood. But I spent a lot of time, money and energy to retrain my brain, so today I see and experience miracles.”

“But even if that were true, how do I change my beliefs?”

“The first step is being open to a new view of reality.”

“I’m not sure I can do that.”

“That’s a belief, you know.”

“It is?”

“Yep.”

“Then how do I become aware of my beliefs, since I don’t seem to know what they are?”

“By looking at what you have and asking, ‘What might I believe to attract that into my life?'”

“Will your books help me with that?”

“You mean you haven’t actually read them?”

“I flipped through them.”

“Yes, start with my books.”

“Which one?”

“The one you are resisting reading.”

“Affirmations don’t work for me.”

“That’s an affirmation, you know.”

“Huh?”

“Affirmations are anything you affirm as true,” I explained. “You can affirm something positive or something negative.”

“Say what?”

“You said ‘Affirmations don’t work for me’ which is an affirmation that affirmations don’t work for you.”

“I don’t follow.”

“You get what you believe and expect,” I explained. “If you believe affirmations won’t work for you, then you will get the experience of affirmations not working for you.”

“But they really don’t work for me!”

“I know. That’s because you are affirming that they don’t work.”

“You’re confusing me!”

“Look, the meaning you give an event is the belief that attracted it. If you feel affirmations don’t work, then you are attracting experiences to prove that affirmations don’t work. If you switched it, you could attract proof that affirmations do work.”

“But how would I do that when my mind says they don’t work?”

“That’s simply what you currently believe,” I went on. “It’s your current habit of thinking. But you can begin a new habit by beginning a new thought process today.”

“It’s that easy?”

“It’s simple but maybe not easy,” I said. “But you can begin right now.”

“Affirmations do work?”

“That’s a start.”

Joe
