Dear Reader,
You can nd thousands of wealth and success seminars and self-help courses wherever you lookalong with hundreds of thousands of people taking these courses on a regular basis. Yet, the numbers remain fairly constant across the board:
Approximately 10% of the richest adults in the world own 85% of our global resources.
Obviously, wealth and success come more naturally to the few than to the many. Or do they? What is the ultimate dening factor that separates the wealthiest and most successful individuals from the other 90% of the population? Many people say its education. There may be some truth to this, but its not the ultimate dening factor. How do you know? Step into any one of those wealth-building mega-seminars and take a closer look.

I dont have enough (education / money / time ll in the blank) to become wealthy and successful.
Examine two students sitting side by side, with similar backgrounds, resources and opportunity, now receiving the same motivational pep talk, the same educational materials, creative inspiring ideas, and time 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 hes received. The other one? Hell triple his income with just a single idea and become a powerhouse in his eld. Two similar students. The same education. Whats the dierence? Very simple. One of the students had emotional barriers that prevented him from acting when the time was most opportune, from trusting his gut, from moving forward when the light was green. The other student, without the conicting thoughts and feelings that create self-sabotage and other internal blocks, simply moved forward according to plan and reaped the rewards of doing so. Other common responses to the whats-the-dierence question may sound like this: It takes money to make moneyand I just dont have it. Or even, My life is so busy just making a living that I dont have time to be wealthy and successful! Unfortunately, as they say, when you argue for your limitations, you always win. But you dont understand, the one arguing will say.

And that statement is followed by a story or a very personal reason of why wealth or success has eluded the one who is speaking. Well, its true. Your blocks to your wealth and success are very personal to you. So, heres a short exercise to give you a glimpse of what your very personal blocks are.
When I am thinking or talking about money and nances, what am I saying to myself or others?
Briey review in your mind your last conversations about money, the last time you thought about it or paid bills, went to get a loan, checked your credit report, looked at your bank statement or portfolio, tried to make a sale or close a deal, thought about your income or your entire nancial situation, and so on. But dont think too much. Just take 5 minutes and write non-stop in answer to the question above.
I have a feeling you may nd this exercise very insightful. And you may be interested to know that more than 90% of the people who do this exercise nd that nearly every sentence they have written is full of emotions such as fear, anger, frustration, grief and shame. Emotions like fear, anger, frustration, grief and shame are NOT green light emotions! In fact, no matter what conscious, positive goals and intentions you may have, emotions like these will override anything else! This can take you out of the game every time. Sometimes before the game has even started! Its not your perceived limitations that keep you where youre at, but your feelings about your circumstances that stop you from moving into the tenth percentile of those who manifest the life of their dreams. Yes, its only unmastered emotions that stand in the way of 90% of the population having the wealth and success that they truly desire. Remove emotions like these and people tend to move forward toward their goals with far greater ease and success.
Ive bought the sports car of my drea ms, manifested a house overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway and have a significant a mount of money in the bank. Kris Waldron, Margate, NJ
Although we may get a really good idea of what is holding us back from an exercise like this, many of our thoughts and feelings are subconscious, that is, below the level of conscious awareness. These thoughts and feelings are the most powerful. They are the software in our operating system. And they run their programs day and night. Many people who have discovered this get discouraged because they think they have to spend hour upon hour guring out exactly what it is that is holding them back. 6 And this brings us to

I have to know what my subconscious programs are or dig up the past in order to let them go.
People spend years in therapy and doing self-help programs looking for underlying beliefs that are sabotaging their success. This can be very timeconsuming and exhausting. Never mind not any fun! But the truth is your subconscious thoughts and feelings are being reected in your moods and emotions from moment to moment. When you go to pay bills and you feel like throwing something against the wallor eating a quart of ice creamyou do not have to run to therapy or probe your past to nd a corresponding negative belief. So heres exactly what to do to get at those sabotaging thoughts and feelings All you have to do is to pause and release any feeling that is arising in the moment.
You dont even have to name the feeling frustration or know that it started when you were ve years old when your brother always got the good stu and you didnt. All you have to do is notice the feeling you are having right nowand then let it go. The practice of releasing emotions as they arise in the moment eliminates limiting beliefs quickly, eectively 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 dont need to dig up your past or spend years in therapy. You do, however, need the skill of being able to change your emotional state in the moment.
Today I sat down to pull together my business accounts. I knew the previous 3 months had been great for business. What I didnt realize untill now is in the past 3 months of actively releasing each day, Ive earned more than 100% of what Id earned in the previous 9 months. Verity Smith, Westcliff on Sea, Great Britain
Yes, your emotions are the glue that holds your thoughts and beliefs in place. And your thoughts create your reality. I know, I know. Youve probably heard that before! Which brings me to the next very popular cultural myth about wealth and success

If I hold in mind what I want long enoughand desire what I want hard enoughit will manifest in my world.
As in Myth #1, there is also some truth to this. But lets take a moment to separate truth from error. This myth has been propagating wildly out of control since the debut of the blockbuster lm The Secret grabbed the attention of the world. The Secret, as you may know, talked about the importance of the Law of Attraction. In short, if you hold in mind that which you desire to create, you will attract it to you. Well, yes and no. There are a couple of clarications that need to be made here. Setting a goal and holding it in mind can assist universal energy in coalescing in a certain way. But this process can easily be thwarted by a couple of things. The rst one is all the emotions you have that are running counter to whatever you are holding in mindas we learned from the previous myths. The second is that the process is not complete until you have let the goal itself go! Let me say that again:
Otherwise, you are simply lusting after a goal. And lust is an emotional state in which we hold ourselves back from having what we want, often without even realizing it.
Contrary to popular belief, you dont achieve your goals when you desire them strongly enough.
Many years ago, when I was selling real estate, I had a practice of head banking instead of banking in the bank. That means I was constantly thinking about all the money I was going to make and have. It was Lester Levenson, my mentor and the man who inspired the creation of The Sedona Method, who gave me the advice to Bank in the bank and not in your head. And ultimately, when I allowed myself to let go of the lust that was causing me to fantasize about how great it was going to be to make salesand instead just went about the business of making salesI closed many more deals. Head banking is not only popular in sales, but also in investing. Most investment decisions are emotionally based, as opposed to being based on solid facts and clear intuition. Unsuccessful investors, and even some successful ones, often begin counting their gains and losses before a transaction is actually closed. They count their paper prots and spend them mentally before the actual results come in. They also tend to stay in a transaction longer than they should, because it might get better. Both of these actions are due to lust and its inherent substitution of fantasy for what is. If you nd yourself fantasizing about your nancial situation, you can let go of your lust instantaneously by using a simple releasing process thats an alternative to head banking that really works: 10

When you do, youll make wiser investment decisions. If you release before you enter or leave any business deal or stock transaction, you will nd that your timing improves. If you also let go before you act when you have a hunch, you will be able to tell the dierence between intuition and fear or greed. The more you use the Method in all your business activities, the more you will nd yourself following fact instead of fantasy, and intuition rather than lust and fear. If you honestly examine your past experiences, youll discover that most of the goals youve achieved are the ones that you let go of wanting even if not by choice. You may have really wanted them at one time, but its in the process of letting go of your desire that the energy is freed up within you, making it much more likely that your goal will manifest. Without this greater understanding of the Law of Attraction, you are simply fantasizing about success. It all boils down to: Would you rather fantasize about successor would you rather have it? This is not just my point of view. Nearly half of the other original 24 teachers of The Secret besides me also use letting go or releasing to manifest their hearts desires. And thats because it works.

So, heres the kicker. Results are most easily achieved by reaching an internal feeling state that Lester Levenson called hootlessness. Hootlessness is when you dont give a hoot whether you achieve the goal or not. 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
12
Even if we are somewhat successful, we may not believe that we can break through to the next level of success because we doubt our ability to do what it takes and have the attitude that we dont know we need for success. It does not have to be this way! All forms of releasing help you break free of your limiting beliefs. When you set a goal for yourself, you can choose to bring into your awareness the attachments and aversions you have to that particular issue. Then, as you release or let go of your attachments and aversions to the goal, you will either achieve it or you wont. Either way, youll have lightened your load of suering.
13
When you practice releasing consistently, youll nd that releasing negative emotions in the moment will dissolve the charge that locks the underlying beliefs in place. Then the beliefs that once felt so strong and locked into place will just naturally fall away on their own. As you use your natural ability to release, youll create a solid, positive mental attitude that will help you succeed where others might fail, even in todays challenging economic times. This leaves you free and unencumbered to create the wealth and success you desire.
My real estate commissions have increased by well over $100,000 a year. Kay OConnor, New York So heres what we know so far:
Its only your own unwanted emotions that stand in the way of you manifesting the life of your dreams. These emotions can be conscious or subconscious, but the subconscious ones are the most powerful. 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 optimum state within yourself most likely to produce the results you want. The practice of releasing negative thoughts and emotions as they arise sets you free to be, do or have whatever you desire. This is the way you achieve emotional masteryand mastery over your own life. Releasing sets you free to have, be and do whatever you desire.
