visualize
the goal as if it's already achieved.
And I had actually made a $100.000 bill
that I put on the ceiling,
so the first thing I'd see
whenever I woke up,
I'd look up and there it was,
It would remind me this was my intention.
And then, I would close my eyes
and visualize having this $100.000
in your life style.
And interestingly enough, nothing
major happened for about 30 days.
I didn't have any great breakthrough ideas,
no one was offering me more money.
And all of the sudden, I was in the shower,
it was about 4 weeks of doing it
and I had a $100.000 idea,
just came right into my head.
I had a book I had written
and I said, "if I could sell 400.000
copies of my book at a quarter each,
that would be $100.000
Now, the book was there,
but I never had this thought.
And one of the secrets I think is that
Now, I didn't know how to do that,
I didn't know how I was gonna
sell 400.000 copies, we'd never done that.
And then I saw the National Enquirer
at a supermarket.
I'd seen that millions of times,
it was just background.
And all of a sudden
it jumped out on me as foreground
and I thought,
"wow, if readers knew about my book,
certainly 400.000 people
would go out and buy it.
In about 6 weeks later I gave the talk
at Hunter college in New York.
There's 6.000 teachers.
This lady comes up at the end and she says:
"That was a great talk,
I'd like to interview you. 
Let me give you my card." 
I said, "who do you write for?"
"I'm a freelance, but I sell
most of my stuff to the National Enquirer." 
You know, I had this little theme from
"Twilight Zone" go off in my head.
Wow, this stuff's really working.
So, that article came out and our
book sale started to take off,
but the point I wanna make is that
I was attracting into my life all these
different events, including this person
and to make a long story short,
I did not make $100.000 that year,
we made $92.327
but do you think we were like depressed
and going, "this doesn't work"?
No, we were going,
"wow, this is amazing!"
And so, my wife said to me,
"wow, if it works for $100.000
do you think it would work for a million?"
And I said, "I don't know,
I think so, let's try it"
My publisher actually wrote me a check,
as a royalty check for our first
"Chicken Soup For The Soul" book
and he actually put a
smiley face in the signature
'cause it was the first
million dollar check he'd ever written.
And so,
I know from my own experience,
because I wanted to test it
does this secret really work,
and we put it to the test
and it absolutely worked.
And now I live my life from there
every single day.
Well I can just imagine what a lot
of people that are watching this are thinking,
and that is - how can I attract
more money into my life?
How can I get more of the green stuff?
How can I get more of
wealth and prosperity?
How can I, when I love my job,
deal with the credit card debt that I have
and the realization that maybe there's
a ceiling on the money that can come in,
'cause it's coming to me
through my job,
how can I bring in more?
Intend it.
This goes back to one of the things
we've been talking about
throughout the whole secret:
your job is to declare what you would Like
to have from the catalogue of the Universe.
Well, if cash is one of them,
say how much you would like to have.
I would like to have $25.000
unexpected income within the next 30 days,
or whatever it happens to be.
It should be believable for you.
Most people have a goal of
getting out of debt.
That'll keep you in debt forever.
Whatever you're thinking about,
you will attract.
You say, "but it's get out of debt"
I don't care if it's
"get out" or "get in",
if you're thinking debt
you're attracting debt.
Set up an automatic debt repayment programme
and then start to focus on prosperity.
So many times people say to me,
"well, I'd like to double
my income in next year."
But then you look
