I love asking people in the countries I visit about their customs. One of my favorite questions is, “What secrets do you have for attracting money or anything else?”
In Russia I learned about Hochun, the Siberian “wish maker.” I love him as a tool for focusing on intentions. Pat O’Bryan and I released our own version of him at The Secret Russian Wish Maker.
In Poland I learned that you can attract money if you hang a painting of a Jewish man counting gold coins in your home or office.
My friend Andrzej Batko said he bought such a painting, placed it in his office, and it worked. I of course wanted one, too.
We found one in Krackow. I loved it, bought it, and am having it framed right now. When my new office is completed, I’ll hang it where I can see it.
Actually, it’s now framed…
This raises the question: Do these items actually work?
I don’t know. But my theory is this: if it doesn’t hurt you to hang a painting or look at an image, then why not do it? When something is fun, adds to the positive energy for your desire, it has to be good.
Here’s something even more fascinating:
I met famed Polish photographer Grzegorz Syllain in Warsaw. He followed me around one day and took pictures of me shopping for cigars and clothes. His teenage daughter followed and helped.
When we stopped to have coffee, I asked his daughter what she enjoyed doing. She said painting. I then told them what I leaned about the Polish custom of having the money attractor painting. They both knew the power of the painting.
But they didn’t see what was coming next.
“When I go back to Texas and write about my painting, people will want one for their home or office, too. The thing is, I won’t have anywhere to send them to buy a painting. If you would set up a website, and your daughter would paint the art, I could direct them to you.”
His daughter loved the idea.
He loved the idea.
“If you do this, you could attract enough money for school or anything else you want.”
They nodded with excitement.
I then challenged them.
“I want you to start painting and to get the site up by the time I return to the States in three days. If you do, I’ll tell my readers about it.”
Grzegorz quickly agreed.
So did his daughter. “I don’t want a penny for this,” I explained. “I want to see you act on this idea. This is the secret to attracting success in life; when the idea is there, honor it and act on it.”
Sure enough, they honored their word.
Their site is now up at Polish Money Attractor Painting.
If I were you, I’d do two things right now:
1. Write down an idea you’ve had and haven’t acted on yet.
2. Act on it.
Oh.
And go get your own original Polish Money Attractor Painting.
What if it works?
Ao Akua,

If you missed my national television appearance on Fox & Friends yesterday, you can see it by clicking on the below image. It was a fast (four minutes) and fun show where I got to reveal a couple key points about how to Attract Money Now. Take a look:
Tip: You can see a few more minutes of the interview, not aired live but streamed on the web, by watching what FOX TV calls “After the Show” on their website at Fox News “Fox & Friends”. Or by just clicking on the below image:
I started this blog on November 6, 2005, four years ago today. I did it because SEO expert Brad Fallon and I spoke on a cruise ship where he said everyone needed a blog.
I was skeptical. I thought blogs were self-indulgent wastes of time. Brad said maybe so, but the search engines liked them. I listened, wrote a few brief blog posts, and caught the bug. I haven’t looked back since. I love writing my blog.
But the look and feel had to change over the years. A few years ago I left Blogger and installed WordPress. That’s been working fine until I heard Erica Douglass speak at Pat O’Bryan’s Unseminar 6. She’s a young, successful online entrepreneur with a popular blog. I listened, took notes, and implemented most of the changes she suggested within 24 hours.
There were still more changes to be made. That’s where Craig Perrine stepped in.
Craig is the coauthor (with me) of Inspired Marketing, and the man behind the Attract Miracles website. He completely redesigned my blog’s look and feel. I loved it but we could never find the right moment to upload the new blog.
But then a hacker broke into my blog and completely wiped it out.
For at least two days I didn’t have a blog at all.
That’s when Craig told me, “Now’s the time to install your new blog.”
We did. And what you see here is my reincarnated blog.
There are numerous lessons here:
1. When the experts speak, listen. I listened to Brad . I listed to Erica. I listened to Craig.
2. Take action. When Brad told me to write a blog, I did — within a few days. When Erica told me to fix it, I did — within 24 hours. When Craig said the new blog was ready for upload, I said do it — instantly.
These are the very secrets you need to follow to achieve and attract the goals you want.
The thing is, most people won’t do the very things they know are right for them to do.
Why?
They fear change.
The known may not be ideal, but it’s comfortable. And we always like to be within our comfort zone.
I’m urging you to get a little uncomfortable and try something new.
Think about something you’ve been meaning to change — whether a blog or a life pattern — and take action to change it right now.
That’s how you reincarnate your life into something you prefer.
It can begin right now.

Years ago I wrote an article disapproving the NLP and hypnosis communication principle that people ignore the word “don’t” in a command. For example, “Don’t read this blog” is actually a command to read this blog, because the human mind doesn’t process the word “don’t”, at least according to NLP/hypnosis schooling.
Obviously, people are smarter than that. We learn what “don’t” and “no” mean when we are very young. When you learn accurate and advanced language patterns, as explained in my books Hypnotic Writing and Buying Trances, you can go beyond the basic misconceptions of communication.
Anyway, when I was in Krackow, Poland last month, Andrzej Batko and myself demonstrated the silliness of “don’t” in a short hilarious video Nerissa filmed. You can watch it by clicking on the below image. Better yet, don’t watch it right now.
Note: The article I wrote years ago on “don’t” thinking is at https://www.mrfire.com/article-archives/new-articles/do-not-read-this.html
Pat O’Bryan sent the following email to me today and I just had to share it with you. I’ll comment on it at the end, so don’t judge it too quickly…
From Pat:
Last night I was reading “The
Wisdom of Andrew Carnegie
as told to Napoleon Hill,”
and I noticed something –Carnegie and Hill say to write
out your intention and put it
where you can see it – and it
can see you.Well, they didn’t put the
“and it can see you” part
in there, but that’s because
they didn’t know about Hoshun.http://secretrussianwishmaker.com
Physical, visible reminders of
our intentions are important.It’s not magic, but it is magical
the way it works – by stating
our intention and putting up
reminders we’re telling ourselves –and the world –
that we intend to achieve that
intention.Napoleon Hill and Andrew Carnegie
understood this decades ago, and
it’s still true today.It’s also universal.
http://secretrussianwishmaker.com
In Siberia, when someone has a wish, or
an intention, they use a Hoshun as a
physical, visible reminder to keep that
intention/wish in their consciousness.You attract what you focus on –
Hoshun is a focusing tool.And – to help you focus, when
you get your “lifetime supply”
of Hoshun intention/wish reminders,
you also get three complete
audios with all the benefits
of our Clearing Audios –So you’ve got visual and
auditory support for making
that intention into a reality –and making that wish
come true.You can get your Secret
Russian Wishmaker and all
three audios right now at:http://secretrussianwishmaker.com
Go see what I’m saying –
thanks,
Pat O’Bryan
P.S. Wish for something big.
PPS – Bigger than that!
Does Hoshun work?
Can he help you achieve your intentions?
Or is it just a bunch of nonsense?
A friend of mine wrote a book on practical psychology where he encouraged you to pretend you were Superman and then go live your day.
He said to imagine you were wearing a big “S” on your chest, under your clothes.
He writes, “Tattoo Superman on your psyche and pretend you can leap tall barriers and before long you will.”
Why would he advise people to do that?
Isn’t it nuts?
After all, Superman isn’t real!
My psychologist friend knows that when you use a device — even a fictional character — to engage your mind, you tap into powers you have but rarely use.
This is so amazing that I’m even writing a book on how role-playing and role-playing games can help you attract all your heart’s desires.
I hope you get how powerful having a fun focusing device like Hoshun can be.
I’m so impressed with this character as a method for keeping my intentions in mind, that I bought coffee mugs and T-shirts with Hoshun on them.
I even have a bright yellow messenger bag with Hoshun on it.
I have Hoshun on my frig.
I have Hoshun in my wallet.
I have Hoshun as my mobile phone’s screen saver.
Every time I look at these items, I smile, and send a message to my unconscious to attract the intention into reality.
This isn’t much different than Dr. Hew Len, my coauthor of the famous Zero Limits book, advising people to use a Ceeport sticker to clean themselves or their space of negativity.
These mental aides work on a powerful psychological level.
Call it an improvement to Andrew Carnegie’s Money Attractor Secret.
Call it an improvement to Napoleon Hill’s Money Attractor Secret.
Call it Superman’s Money Attractor Secret.
Or —
Call it the best psychological aide for reminding yourself of your goal or intention.
Call it the coolest tool for making the Law of Attraction work for you.
