Two Simple Ways to Improve

EVERYTHING & Achieve

Have you ever… … wanted to harness the power of your mind? … wanted to get more from life, more out of life? … attracted exactly what you wanted just by stating it aloud? On January 1, 2010, I wrote in my journal, “I am a bestselling author.” Looking at it now, it may seem trite or humorous, but on that date, I didn’t have a book. I wasn’t even really an author. I had written about 30,000 words, but it was a jumbled mess and not ready for publication. So, perhaps inspired by New Years’ resolutions popping up all around me, I decided to take the power of what I knew about positive self-talk (affirmations) and put it to work for me. Over the course of the next 10 months, I repeated and re-wrote that affirmation daily. On October 13, (7L) The Seven Levels of Communication: Go From Relationships to Referrals went from pages of text to a real book and a few days later became a bestseller. Interestingly enough, I remember being introduced by my associate broker to another real estate agent as “a bestselling author” … in June of that year! How weird is that? Well, I’m a believer, so nothing weird about affirmations at all. I believe. And perhaps that is the power of affirmations for me. I believe, placebo effect kicks in, and therefore I manifest what I affirm. 10 REFERRALS
