 How do you attract what you want?

What’s the real secret to making the Law of Attraction (LOA) work for you?

There are a many books, articles and blog posts about how to attract everything from cars to relationships. A lot of it is misleading, usually unintentionally. I see most of it and am often disappointed if not outright frustrated. I’m tired of seeing people mis-taught about the LOA.

I’m considered an expert on the subject, having written books (such as The Attractor Factor and The Key) about it, appeared on Larry King and Donny Deutsch’s television shows discussing it, recorded audio programs on it (The Missing Secret), have a coaching program to teach it (Miracles Coaching), started an online Miracles Community about it, and of course appeared in the famous LOA movie, The Secret. 

Still, I want to help you understand LOA at a deeper level.

While I released a new LOA program on attracting money just today (called The Secret to Attracting Money) here’s a recent Law of Attraction story to illustrate how to really attract whatever you want…

Last weekend Pat O’Bryan took me to see Tony Nobles, a well-known Texas luthier. I’d heard about Tony for well over five years. His guitars are legendary. Famous performers stand in line to get Tony to repair or build guitars for them. So I was of course excited to meet him.

Tony was a delight. He’s obviously in love with vintage acoustic guitars. He kept showing Pat and me various guitars, all old and collectible. He let me play a few of them, too. It was a crash course in the beauty of vintage acoustic guitars.

I left there feeling inspired, thinking of hiring Tony to build me a guitar, and wanting a vintage guitar of my own.

And there’s the first clue in how to attract what you want:

I wanted a vintage guitar but I didn’t need one. There was no attachment, just a playful expectation. You can attract what you want faster if you don’t NEED it.

I went home and went back to business. I was packing to fly out to LA for the premier of the movie The Compass, and didn’t have any time to think about how to attract a vintage guitar. So I forgot about it.

And there’s the next clue:

When you state your intention and let it go, you give your unconscious mind and the Universe a chance to begin working on bringing it to you.

I went to the premier of The Compass, had a great time meeting people like T. Harv Eker and seeing old friends like Wendi Friesen, and never gave a thought to vintage guitars.

When I returned home, unpacked, and began to catch up on emails and unfinished projects, the thought entered my mind to check out eBay.

I did, and that’s your next clue in how to attract what you want:

When you get the nudge to do something, DO IT. Action is how you magnetize yourself to attract what you want. It’s your part in the co-creation process.

I went on eBay, explored vintage guitars, and was surprised to see a pristine 1934 Martin 0-17 listed.

Actually, I couldn’t believe it. I knew from my quick education at Tony Nobles’ shop that a pre-war vintage Martin 0-17 of that year was worth at least $3,500 and possibly many times more.

The guitar listed was in mint condition. Several photos of it showed it to be almost brand new. It even came with the original case.

How is that possible?

How could I find a vintage Martin guitar only days after Pat and Tony taught me how to appreciate them?

Yes, there are vintage guitars on the Internet, but to find a pre-war 1934 Martin 0-17 in mint condition – and selling without any reserve on eBay — and with the auction ending in only seven hours???

My skeptical mind wanted to talk me out of bidding on the guitar, but I wouldn’t stand for it. I’ve learned to trust my gut and follow my intuition.

And there’s your next clue in how to attract what you want:

I put aside my doubt, trusted I was doing the right thing, and took action. I bid on that guitar.

Of course, the beauty of bidding on eBay is that it is FUN.

And that’s another clue to how to attract what you want:

Do what’s FUN.

Well, the eBay auction was to end only seven hours from when I discovered the guitar. So I watched it, nudged my bid up a notch because it felt like the right thing to do, and won that collectible 1934 pre-war Martin guitar — by a dollar!

Now here’s where an interesting twist messed with my head, but clearly teaches you how the law of attraction works.

All during the finding, bidding and winning of that Martin, I was detached of the end result. I didn’t need the guitar. I have plenty of guitars. So I was simply being playful and watching the process unfold as a curious participant.

BUT.

But once I won the guitar, my attachment kicked in.

I wanted it, and I wanted it NOW.

No problem, right?

Wrong.

And this is another clue:

When you put too much need on a goal or intention, you actually push it away. Your desperation sends out a signal that “I don’t believe this is real” or “I might lose this if I don’t get it fast” and so forth.  That unconscious signal is what the world responds to. It gums up the attraction process. It’s fear based.

The seller of the Martin wrote me a nice message saying he’d overnight the guitar to me. He said he loves guitars and knows what it is like to have to wait for the next one.

Awesome! I couldn’t wait to receive it.

But the next day he said he used the United States Postal Service to overnight the guitar.

Ut oh.

There is no next-day postal delivery in my rural area. That means I would not receive the guitar the next day.

I was instantly bummed.

I had gone from not even knowing the guitar existed to winning it and now desperately wanting it.

Well, my desperation was pushing it away.

I had to clear that issue within me. So I started doing the Self-Identity Ho’oponopono process I describe in my book, Zero Limits, and began silently saying “I love you” and “Please forgive me” non-stop.

And there’s another clue to how to attract what you want:

When you realize there’s a block, clear it. It’s in you, not the outside world. It’s in YOU.

I kept doing this clearing until I almost got to the place within myself where I could be fine with or without the guitar. After all, if it didn’t arrive the next day, it surely would the day after. No big deal. I could live with that.

In short, I was working to get back to a state of peace with the guitar.

And that’s your next clue:

When you are at peace with what you want to attract, you will attract it (or something better) at lightning speed.

But the guitar in fact did not arrive the next day.

Why not?

What happened?

What did I do wrong?

Because I did not reach that state of peace, the guitar was still repelled. I was working at it, but I did not achieve it. Too much of me was impatient. If you noticed, what I said above was that I was almost clear with the guitar’s arrival.

And this is an important bonus lesson:

The meaning you give an event is the belief that attracted it.

That’s worth repeating: The meaning you give an event is the belief that attracted it.

In other words, I created the delay in getting the guitar because of my impatience for it.

When the guitar was obviously delayed, I remember thinking, “I’m always impatience when something is to arrive by US mail. It rarely works out for me.”

That statement of meaning — “I’m always impatience when something is to arrive by US mail. It rarely works out for me” — is the actual belief that attracted the experience!

My impatience attracted the delay.

Release the impatience and I’ll have the guitar.

Since I’m no longer mentally waiting for the guitar — I’ve finally achieved that inner peace about it and know it’s to arrive when it’s to arrive — it is free to arrive here safely and on time.

Well, it arrived today.

And I love it.

Re-read this post to fully absorb the lessons and clues on how to attract whatever you want.

While you do so, I’ll play a soft melody on my Martin guitar as gentle background music to your relaxed reading….

PS – Okay, forget guitars. How do you attract money? Get my new Nightingale-Conant audioprogram The Secret to Attracting Money at www.secrettoattractingmoney.com It’s a full course of CDs, DVD, and guidebook on how to use the Law of Attraction to attract money. (In fact, it goes way beyond LOA.) And with money you can buy virtually anything — even a vintage Martin guitar.

 In weeks I’m releasing my third Nightingale-Conant audio program, called…

“The Secret to Attracting Money”

I’m going to tell you more about it in a minute (at least as much as I’m allowed to), and I’ll tell you how you can attend a teleseminar on the subject for free, but first —

Something is driving me crazy and I need to get this off my chest!

Thanks to the negative media, there is a nasty, ruthless, disempowering myth going around that says…

America and the rest of the world is in financial danger, and we are at the mercy of the stock market, banks, and other major financial institutions.

HA! 

There is no question that there are some financial issues needing to be resolved, and they will be. 

But this is nothing new.

We’ve survived the Great Depression (when times were far worse) and twelve recessions.

We can handle this one, too.

The truth of the matter (that the media never tells you) is that there are money making opportunities in every challenge.  Even today’s recession.

For instance, someone right now is becoming wealthy by seeing a problem as a product.

Donny Deutsch used to report on this all the time on his TV show, The Big Idea, but the powers that be took it off the air for being “too optimistic”.

Still, people just like you are finding gold in the “hard times.”

Did you know many people are buying stocks at unheard of prices and selling them for huge profits right now and every other day?

Did you know people are buying up real estate at ridiculously low prices and holding it for the next boom?

Many people are taking advantage of their recent job loss and starting new businesses at a record pace – finally doing what they love.

The bottom line is that you do not have to buy into being a victim to world events.  You may be having some challenges – but you can turn it around — with help.

In fact…if you are feeling like a victim of today’s recession or the negative media – let’s turn that around right now.

Here’s what I want you to do …

1. Choose one of the fear-based messages currently being relayed in the media.  (Just turn on the news; you’ll find one instantly.)

2. Then write down some creative ideas that might be moneymaking responses to the “apparent” challenge.

It may take some time – but you can do it.

As Donny Deutsch used to tell people, wherever you complain about something, right there is your business opportunity.

Fix the problem for yourself, and others, and you’ll profit.

In short, the current economy has nothing to do with your ability to succeed.

In fact, my new Secret to Attracting Money program contains a whole section addressing this very issue called…

‘How to Make Money In ANY Economic Climate’

When you listen to this one section alone you’ll see for yourself how easily you can make money starting right now, wherever you live.

Since the Secret to Attracting Money program has not been formally released yet – I’m not at liberty to tell you much more.

But I will tell you this…

This is the first time I have ever combined all my spiritual teachings with all my business and marketing tactics in a single CD/DVD program.

And MY marketing is based on total love.

You can imagine the power of these two forces combined to help you attract money.

I wish I could say more.

But I’ll tell you this – The Secret to Attracting Money contains 6 CDs, a DVD, workbook, and 2 bonus CDs — all packed with money-making and money-attracting information you won’t want to miss.

It’s a spiritual and practical approach to wealth.

With the Secret to Attracting Money program, you will learn exactly how to attract money – following the same path I took to become a multi-millionaire. 

This is not some pie-in-the-sky fluffy theory – this is practical, proven, take-it-to-the-bank advice.

So here’s the deal…

The Secret to Attracting Money program is not available just yet.  It is due to release to huge fanfare in a couple of weeks or so.

So here’s what I want you to do for now…

Sit tight and watch your email (sign up to my list at www.joevitale.com) for a special teleseminar announcement from me.

I’m going to be holding a major teleseminar in a couple weeks discussing how to breakthrough your fears and make money in any economic climate.

You will love it.

And it will be free.

I will also be announcing during the teleseminar how you can buy the Secret to Attracting Money program from a special secret website (still under construction) AND receive a very special bonus.  (This is the only website where you can get this bonus.  I’ll give you the secret web address on the call – sometime during the teleseminar.)  The bonus will only be available for limited time, so you won’t want to miss out.

Remember, watch your email for this very special “How to Make Money In Any Economic Climate” teleseminar announcement so you can get The Secret to Attracting Money, as well as the bonus.

The email announcement may come in five minutes, tomorrow, three days from now, next week — who knows?

Just watch your email. 🙂

And keep looking for the product in the problem.

You can survive and thrive – no matter what.

I’m here to help you succeed.

Decades ago I bought Kevin Trudeau’s Mega-Memory course. I don’t remember where it is (ha ha) but I remember liking it.

Not long ago I bought his bestselling books, from Natural Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About to The Weight Loss Cure.

I’ve seen him on infomercials and have friends who know him. But I never thought I’d meet him.

I did.

And it was unforgettable.

Kevin and his young bride met me for dinner last night in Austin, Texas. He surprised me by being early. Most people are late for meetings. Not Kevin. I liked that quality in him, as I’m usually early for meetings, too.

Kevin looks much younger and thinner than his recent infomercials and photos reflect. He looked in his thirties, though I know he’s 46. I did a double-take when he walked through the door. But he recognized me and waved. I liked that he remembered what I looked like from my online pics.

He and his wife met me at the bar, where I had been waiting (since I was early). When I told him I had been drinking 25 year old MaCallan scotch, he smiled and said it was his favorite.

I told him I knew that. I then handed him a rare cigar from a little island not far from Miami. He seemed really surprised. That’s when I explained we have mutual friends, who tipped me at what he likes. Our friendship deepened.

Kevin’s wife seemed starstruck. Turns out she is a big fan of all my books. And I mean all of them. They went on a shopping spree at Amazon and bought every title they could find by me.

Natalie, his wife, had lots of questions about the Law of Attraction and my writing career. She hung on my every word, as did Kevin. It was very flattering.

Kevin and I spoke about many things, from performing magic (we’re both lifetime members of the Society of American Magicians), to infomercials (he had no idea of my experience with them) to network marketing to health cures to hypnotic storytelling.

I told him about my own infomercial for The Awakening Course. He asked about numbers and results, none of which I had at hand. 

He said I should be on TV more. He said I am good looking, articulate, and sincere. (Thank you, Kevin.)

He advised me to consider creating an infomercial for one of my books, adding a few other books as premiums, and selling it for a low price, such as $19.95. He said to offer my Miracles Coaching as an up-sell when people called in to order.

This marketing method has helped him sell thirty million copies of his first book — which he dictated in a week and sent to the printer with no editing or proofreading — thirty million copies!

This guy is sharp, slick, and smart.

I’m well aware of Kevin’s long term fight with the government, his prison time, his current federal restrictions, etc.

Yet the man I met is sincere, passionate, and dedicated. He is on a mission to help people get healthy and get out of debt. He’s been to sixty countries in search of health cures that truly work. When he finds them, he reports on them. He’s fearless about it, too.

He said cancer was usually due to stress, and usually concerns unexpressed grief. He said methods such as Roger Callahan’s tapping technique, called Thought Field Therapy, could help release the wound up psychic energy behind cancer. He added that simple relaxation audios could also help.

Kevin lost 45 pounds (in 45 days) after discovering a German method for losing weight. It’s one reason why he looks so much younger these days.

He’s written about all of these discoveries and insights in his various books. (He gave me a signed set of them over dinner.)

I’m really impressed with Kevin. Too many people think too small or too conservatively, including me. Kevin says he likes simple. Instead of trying to get a publisher for his books, and fighting with them to market the books, and being let down when they don’t sell, he goes straight to the masses with an infomercial.

He shoots them in one take, with no script or promptings. He doesn’t even care if the infomercial sells the book, as he knows the infomercial will cause people to go into stores and ask for the book. He can then sell his book to retailers.

The guy is just brilliant.

Natalie noticed my watch. It’s a hand painted car. I have a watch for each of my cars. That led to talking about our car collections.

Kevin loved how I created a rolling mastermind out of my 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom.

He also loved the story of my inventing Fit-A-Rita.

Another trait I noticed and liked in Kevin is his ability to trust life. He never sees problems. He says you never ever know what any event actually means.

What looks like bad news may actually be good news a day or so later.  He accepts the news and works with it. He has a spirit that won’t be conquered. When I asked him about that, he said “You can’t beat me. It’s impossible. The world isn’t set up like that. I’m going to win. Always.”

Call it ego or call it delusion, that trait of invincibility is what many great people tend to have in common.

Kevin doesn’t have goals. He’s more relaxed these days and goes with the flow. He has a couple general intentions, such as for his own radio show, but otherwise he enjoys life and takes it as it comes.

My three hour dinner with Kevin (which he paid for) and his beautiful wife, was inspiring. I left thinking I need to hang around Kevin Trudeau and successful people like him more often.

He stretched my thinking, challenged my thinking, and enriched my thinking.

Who have you had dinner with recently that inspired you?

Who can you have dinner with and inspire?

The other day someone posted this comment:

“How did Bernie Madoff’s victims manifest being wiped out of all their wealth? They weren’t anticipating it…most were happy being rich, enjoying prosperity, networking up, surrounding themselves with beautiful luxurious things…they certainly thought themselves worthy and entitled to great wealth, unlike many of the rest of us mortals. So, as the economy deteriorates, and many who were making 6 figures suddenly find themselves impoverished…how did the law of attraction put them in that situation?”

I’ve answered questions like this numerous times and in numerous places. But since so many people are asking again, wondering what is going on in the world when people are losing their homes and their savings, I thought I’d answer one more time.

First, if you’re clumsy and keep knocking things over, you don’t blame the law of gravity. You try to be more aware. You try to fix the problem inside you. The Law of Attraction is the same way.

You don’t blame it. It’s simply the underlying principle at work. It’s neutral, just like the law of gravity. The issue isn’t with the Law of Attraction, it’s with what you are thinking and doing to create the experiences you attract.

Second, no one knows what is in the unconscious mind of anyone, including yourself. What we get in the outer world is a reflection of what we believe in the inner world.

Most people have issues with money. We think it’s bad or evil, so we aren’t comfortable with it. You might manage to attract some money, but if you don’t feel you deserve it, you’ll find a way to get rid of it. 

Who knows what the “victims” were thinking who lost their money. They might be relieved. They might see it as a new opportunity. They might be blaming others. I don’t know. Neither do you. The point for you is to look at your own beliefs, and change the ones that aren’t serving you.

Third, you get what you focus on. Too many people are paying attention to the mainstream media. I was trained as a journalist in the early 1970s. I know the media’s job is to seek out and often even create bad news.

If you pay attention to it, you program yourself to think the world is not safe and something bad can happen to you at any time. Over time, this programming sinks into your unconscious. Before you know it, you live it out. You then become part of the bad news reported in the media. You have to break the cycle to break free.

None of this is to say you are to blame. As I say in The Awakening Course, it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Your job is to awaken.

You have to think and do things differently to get different results. Here are some suggestions on how to accomplish that:

1. Change your beliefs. You may need help in spotting them and replacing them, but help is available. There’s everything from Miracles Coaching to my Nightinglae-conant audio program, The Missing Secret.

2. Get support. You’ll accelerate your change if you get support from a positive group. That’s available, too. See the Attract Miracles Community.

3.  Do something different. I read a book the other day (“Think Like a Billionaire, Become a Billionaire”) that had a great line in it: if you are upset about your current reality, all that means is you are not planning on changing. Do something different to get a different result.

What you do is based on what you think, so cycle through these suggestions to get into a better place.

Finally, anyone can change.

If I can survive being homeless and in poverty to reach a lifestyle today that is one of daily magic and miracles, then you can do it, too.

It all begins right here, right now.

The next move is yours.

PS — To illustrate how little I pay attention to the mainstream news, I had to google Bernie Madoff. I had no idea who he is or was. You don’t need to watch the news to have a good life. My guess is, the less you watch, the happier you’ll be.

What if you’re in a hurry?

What if you need a miracle fast?

What if things for you are urgent and you are desperate?

That’s when you have to pull out all the stops and get help.

But not from just any one person, but from a special group of people who are helping each other to achieve real world results.

I’m talking about a new online community where you can state your intention and others can hold that very intention for you.

Twenty-three scientific studies prove this kind of group support works.

I even wrote about it in my book, The Attractor Factor.

You can now experience it for yourself at a new site I’ve been working on. It’s at www.attractmiracles.com

One of the bonus audios on the site is a conversation with Craig Perrine and myself about what to do if you need a miracle urgently.

One of the bonus videos on the site is a talk I gave in Maui about how to have a miracle in 15 minutes.

One of the bonus e-books on the site is by the only woman who was a disciple of a living miracles expert.

There’s more, too. Lots more.

You can post your request for a miracle.

You can post your success stories.

You can help others achieve their goals.

You can network and meet like-minded new friends.

You can ask me questions, too.

And there’s even more than that.

You can also become an affiliate and profit whenever you tell people about the site and they register. (Who do you know who needs a miracle?)

Yet there’s more.

The best thing to do is go look for yourself.

You can enter the site, look around for a week, and even hear that interview, watch that video, or read that ebook — all for only one dollar.

That’s it.

One dollar.

PS — Remember, the basis for the site is the scientific evidence that when a small group of people hold an intention for you, it tends to become reality FAST. There’s no woo-woo here. It’s all results oriented. Go see for yourself over at www.attractmiracles.com
