 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.

 The best book I’ve read in a while is Roger Hamilton’s Your Life, Your Legacy. It reveals eight paths to wealth. Fascinating stuff.

I devoured it on the flights to and from LA for the opening of the movie The Compass. You can’t get the book from Amazon so don’t even try. Instead, go to www.wealthdynamics.org

While there, take the Wealth Profile test. It’s a hundred bucks but could put you on your wealth stream.

I took the test, found out I’m clearly a Creator (with Star leanings), and suddenly began doing more things that stay within my profile. As a result, I’m making even more money and doing it with even more fun.

I don’t make a dime from telling you about this. I’m just sharing and trying to help.

Get the book.

Take the test.

Attract wealth.

 Not since The Secret’s release two and half years ago has there been so much buzz for a new movie coming out in the human-potential, self-help field. The one causing all the stir right now is called The Compass.

I flew to LA to see the world premier of The Compass last Sunday night. A crowd of excited people were there, as were celebrities, the media, and more.

The executive producer of the film, John Spencer Ellis, made us wait for the film by having a rock band play, making announcements, and offering everyone plenty of food and drink. Since I’m in training and strictly watching my food intake, all I wanted to see was the film.

Once the movie began, you knew you were in for a treat. The production value of The Compass is tops. The soundtrack is original music that I’ll want the CD of. The acting by the lead character is riveting. And the experts throughout the film — from John Assaraf, Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Tammy Kling, and Marie Diamond to, well, me — all have wise things to stay.

There are several unforgettable moments in the movie. I won’t spoil it for you by telling you what they are, but rest assured you’ll watch and you will remember.

I strongly encourage you to see The Compass. This is the kind of movie we need more of, to feed our brain and our soul with life-affirming thoughts and energy. It’s far more practical than The Secret, but still feels good, too.

It’s shipping on DVD today. Go here to order it right now: http://TheCompass.tv/iDevAffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=138

PS – Above blurred pic was taken at the premier in Anaheim. At the table with me (I’m bottom far right corner) are online hypnosis expert Wendi Friesen, author/healer Jennifer McLean, PGA pro Robb Nunn, and Vegas stage hypnotist Scott Lewis. They all loved The Compass, too.

I suffer from a condition called Type D BrachyDactyly (pronounced brake-ee dact-a-lee).

Well, I don’t really suffer from it.

I didn’t even know I had the condition till last Saturday’s autograph party.

I was signing books when an observant fellow said, “I notice you have BrachyDactyly.”

“I have what?”

“Your thumbs,” he said. “They’re small.”

Thanks for noticing, I thought.

I’ve always known my thumbs were small. But it’s never stopped me from typing (I only use two fingers to type and neither are thumbs). It’s never stopped me from playing the guitar. Or doing martial arts. Or hitching for a ride back in the 70’s.

Still, my thumbs are on the small size.

So?

What’s it mean?

The guy at the book signing said, “Historically the clubbed thumb has been associated with inbreeding amongst European royalty. It’s been thought to be a sign of pure royal blood.”

Royalty?

I’m a descendant of royalty?

I haven’t been able to find a really solid verification of this, but we can all believe what we want. Currently, about 1 in 1,000 people have some form of “small thumb”, including actress Megan Fox.

If you have this wonderful rare royal condition, too, well, two “royal” thumbs up for the both of us.

“Two thumbs up” has taken on new meaning for me.

I’ll rewrite it to “Two ROYAL Thumbs up!”

PS — My third audioprogram with Nightingale-Conant comes out soon. It’s called The Secret to Attracting Money. I believe you’ll give it two royal thumbs up. 🙂

 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.
