Denials and Affirmations in The Game of Life

Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be 
established unto thee."

All the good that is to be made manifest in man's 
life is already an accomplished fact in divine mind
, and is released through man's recognition, or 
spoken word, so he must be careful to decree 
that only the Divine Idea be made manifest, for 
often, he decrees, through his "idle words,failure 
or misfortune.

It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to 
word one's demands correctly, as stated in a 
previous chapter.

If one desires a home, friend, position or any 
other good thing, make the demand for the 
"divine selection."

For example: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my 
right home, my right friend, my right position. I 
give thanks it now manifests under 
grace in a perfect way."

The latter part of the statement is most 
important. For example: I knew a woman who 
demanded a thousand dollars. Her daughter was 
injured and they received a thousand dollars 
indemnity, so it did not come in a "perfect way."

The demand should have been worded in this 
way: "Infinite Spirit, I give thanks that the one 
thousand dollars, which is mine by divine right, 
is now released, and reaches me under grace in 
a perfect way."

As one grows in a financial consciousness, he 
should demand that the enormous sums of money, 
which are his by divine right, reach him under 
grace, in perfect ways.

It is impossible for man to release more than he 
thinks is possible, for one is bound by the limited 
expectancies of the subconscious. He must 
enlarge his expectancies in order to receive in a 
larger way.

Man so often limits himself in his demands. For 
example: A student made the demand for six 
hundred dollars, by a certain date. He did receive 
it, but heard afterwards, that he came very near 
receiving a thousand dollars, but he was given 
just six hundred, as the result of his spoken word.

"They limited the Holy One of Isreal." Wealth is a 
matter of consciousness. The French have a 
legend giving an example of this. A poor man was 
walking along a road when he met a traveler, who 
stopped him and said: "My good friend, I see you 
are poor. Take this gold nugget, sell it, and you 
will be rich all your days."

The man was overjoyed at his good fortune, and 
took the nugget home. He immediately found 
work and became so prosperous that he did not 
sell the nugget. Years passed, and he became a 
very rich man. One day he met a poor man on 
the road. He stopped him and said: "My good 
friend, I will give you this gold nugget, which, 
if you sell, will make you rich for life." The 
mendicant took the nugget, had it valued, and 
found it was only brass. So we see, the first
man became rich through feeling rich, 
thinking the nugget was gold.

Every man has within himself a gold nugget; it is 
his consciousness of gold, of 
opulence, which brings riches 
into his life. In making his 
demands, man begins at his journey's end
that is he declares he has already received.
"Before ye call I shall answer."

Continually affirming establishes the belief in the
subconscious.

It would not be necessary to make an affirmation 
more than once if one had perfect faith! One 
should not plead or supplicate, but give thanks 
repeatedly, that he has received.

"The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." 
This rejoicing which is yet in the desert (state of 
consciousness) opens the way for release. The 
Lord's Prayer is in the form of command and 
demand,"Give us this day our daily bread, and 
forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,
and ends in praise,"For thine is the Kingdom 
and the Power and the Glory, forever. Amen." 
"Concerning the works of my hands, 
command ye me." So prayer is command and 
demand, praise and thanksgiving. The sutdent's 
work is in making himself believe that "with 
God all things are possible."

This is easy enough to state in the abstract, but a 
little more difficult when confronted with a 
problem. For example: It was necessary for a 
woman to demonstrate a large sum of money 
within a stated time. She knew she must do
something to get a realization (for realization 
is manifestation), and she demanded a "lead."

She was walking through a department store, 
when she saw a very beautiful pink enamel 
papercutter. She felt the "pull" towards it. The 
thought came. "I haven't a paper cutter good
enough to open letters containing large cheques."

So she bought the papercutter, which the 
reasoning mind would have called an extra-
vagance. When she held it in her hand, she had 
a flash of a picture of herself opening an
envelope containing a large cheque, and in a few 
weeks, she received the money. The pink 
papercutter was her bridge of active faith.

Many stories are told of the power of the 
subconscious when directed in faith.

For example: A man was spending the night in a
farmhouse. The windows of the room had been 
nailed down, and in the middle of the night he 
felt suffocated and made his way in the dark to 
the window. He could not open it, so he smashed 
the pane with his fist, drew in draughts of
fine fresh air, and had a wonderful night's sleep.

The next morning, he found he had smashed the 
glass of a bookcase and the window had 
remained closed during the whole night. He had 
supplied himself with oxygen, simply by his thought of oxygen. 

When a student starts out to demonstrate, he 
should never turn back. "Let not that man who 
wavers think that he shall receive anything of the Lord."

A colored student once made this wonderful 
statement,"When I asks the Father for anything, 
I puts my foot down, and I says: Father, I'll take 
nothing less than I've asked for, but more!" So 
man should never compromise: "Having done all - 
Stand." This is sometimes the most difficult time
of demonstrating. The temptation comes to give 
up, to turn back, to compromise.

"He also serves who only stands and waits."

Demonstrations often come at the eleventh hour 
because man then lets go, that is, stops 
reasoning, and Infinite Intelligence has a 
chance to work.

"Man's dreary desires are answered drearily, and 
his impatient desires, long delayed or violently 
fulfilled. For example: A woman asked me why
it was she was constantly losing or breaking her 
glasses.

We found she often said to herself and others with
vexation,"I wish I could get rid of my glasses." So 
her impatient desire was violently fulfilled. What 
she should have demanded was perfect eye-sight, 
but what she registered in the subconscious was 
simply the impatient desire to be rid of her 
glasses; so they were continually being broken or lost. 

Two attitudes of mind cause loss: depreciation, as 
in the case of the woman who did not appreciate 
her husband, or fear of loss, which makes a 
picture of loss in the subconscious.

When a student is able to let go of his problem 
(cast his burden) he will have instantaneous manifestation.

For example: A woman was out during a very 
stormy day and her umbrella was blown inside-
out. She was about tomake a call on some people 
whom she had never met and she did not wish 
to make her first appearance with a dilapidated 
umbrella. She could not throw it away, as it did
not belong to her. So in desperation, she 
exclaimed: "Oh God, you take charge of this 
umbrella, I don't know what to do."

A moment later, a voice behind her said: "Lady, 
do you want your umbrella mended? There 
stood an umbrella mender.

She replied, "Indeed, I do."

The man mended the umbrella, while she went 
into the house to pay her call, and when she 
returned, she had a good umbrella. So there is 
always an umbrella mender at hand, on man's 
pathway, when one puts the umbrealla (or 
situation) in God's Hands.

One should always follow a denial with an affirmation.

For example: I was called on the 'phone late one 
night to treat a man whom I had never seen. He 
was apparently very ill. I made the statement: "I 
deny this appearance of disease. It is unreal, 
therefore cannot register in his consciousness; this 
man is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, pure 
substance expressing perfection."

There is no time or space, in Divine Mind, 
therefore the word reaches instantly its 
destination and does not "return void." I have 
treated patients in Europe and have found 
that the result was instantaneous.

I am asked so often the difference between 
visualizing and visioning. Visualizing is a 
mental process governed by the reasoning 
or conscious mind; visioning is a spiritual
process, governed by intuition, or the 
superconscious mind.
The student should train his mind to receive these 
flashes of inspiration, and work out the "divine 
pictures," through definite leads. When a man can 
say, "I desire only that which God desires for me,
" his new set of blueprints is given him by the 
Master Architect, the God within. God's plan 
for each man transcends the limitation of the 
reasoning mind, and is always the square of life, 
containing health, wealth, love and perfect 
self-expression. Many a man is building for 
himself in imagination a bungalow when he
should be building a palace.

If a student tries to force a demonstration 
(through the reasoning mind) he brings it to 
a standstill. "I will hasten it, " saith the Lord. 
He should act only through intuition, or
definite leads. "Rest in the Lord and wait 
patiently. Trust also in him, and he will 
bring it to pass." 

I have seen the law work in the most astonishing 
manner. For example: A student stated that it 
was necessary for her to have a hundred dollars 
for the following day. It was a debt of vital 
importance which had to be met. I "spoke the
word," declaring Spirit was "never too late" 
and that the supply was at hand.

That evening she phoned me of the miracle. She 
said that the thought came to her to go to her 
safe-deposit box at the bank to examine some 
papers. She looked over the papers, and at the 
bottom of the box, was a new one hundred dollar
bill. She was astounded, and said she knew she 
had never put it there, for she had gone through 
the papers many times. It may have been a 
materialization, as Jesus Christ materialized the 
loaves and fishes. Man will reach the stage
where his "word is made flesh," or materialized, 
instantly."The fields, ripe with the harvest,
" will manifest immediately, as in all of the 
miracles of Jesus Christ.

There is a tremendous power alone in the name 
Jesus Christ. It stands for Truth Made 
Manifest. He said,"Whatsoever ye ask the 
Father, in my name, he will give it to you."

The power of this name raises the student into 
the fourth dimension, where he is freed from 
all astral and psychic influences, and he becomes 
"unconditioned and absolute, as God Himself is 
unconditioned and absolute."

I have seen many healings accomplished by using 
the words, "In the name of Jesus Christ." 
Christ was both person and principle; and the 
Christ within each man is his Redeemer and 
Salvation.

The Christ within, is his own fourth dimensional 
self, the man made in God's image and likeness. 
This is the self which has never failed, never 
known sickness or sorrow, was never born and 
has never died. It is the "resurrection and the 
life" of each man! "No man cometh to the Father
save by the Son," means, that God, the Universal, 
working on the place of the particular, becomes 
the Christ in man; and the Holy Ghost, means 
God-in-action. So daily, man is manifesting the 
fruits of the Holy Ghost.

Man should make an art of thinking. The Master 
Thinker is an artist and is careful to paint only 
the divine designs upon the canvas of his mind; 
and he paints these pictures with masterly 
strokes of power and decision, having perfect 
faith that there is no power to mar their 
perfection and that they shall manifest in his life 
the ideal made real.

All power is given man (through right thinking) to 
bring his heaven upon his earth, and this is 
the goal of the "Game of Life."

The simple rules are fearless faith, nonresistance and love!

May each reader be now freed from that thing 
which has held him in bondage through the ages, 
standing between him and his own, and "know 
the Truth which makes him free"- free to fulfill 
his destiny, to bring into manifestation the 
"Divine Design of his life, Health, 
Wealth, Love and Perfect Self-Expression." 
"Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Intuition or Guidance

There is nothing too great of accomplishment for the man who knows the power of his word, and who follows his intuitive leads. by the word he starts in action unseen forces and can rebuild his body or remold his affairs.It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to choose the right words, and the student carefully selects the affirmation he wishes to catapult into the invisible.

He knows that God is his supply, that there is a supply for every demand, and that his spoken word releases this supply.

"Ask and ye shall receive."

Man must make the first move. "Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you."

I have often been asked just how to make a demonstration.

I reply: "Speak the word and then do not do anything until you get a definite lead." Demand the lead, saying, "Infinite spirit, reveal to me the way, let me know if there is anything for me to do."

The answer will come through intuition (or hunch); a chance remark from someone, or a passage in a book, etc., etc. The answers are sometimes quite startling in their exactness. For example: A woman desired a large sum of money. She spoke the words: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my immediate supply, let all that is mine by divine right now reach me, in great avalanches of abundance." Then she added: "Give me a difinite lead, let me know if there is anything for me to do."

The thought came quickly, "Give a certain friend" (who had helped her spiritually) "a hundred dollars." She told her friend, who said, "Wait and get another lead, before giving it." So she waited, and that day met a woman who said to her, "I gave someone a dollar today; it was just as much for me, as it would be for you to give someone a hundred."

This was indeed an unmistakable lead, so she knew she was right in giving the hundred dollars. It was a gift which proved a great investment, for shortly after that, a large sum of money came to her in a remarkable way.

Giving opens the way for receiving. In order to create activity in finances, one should give. Tithing or giving one-tenth of one's income, is an old Jewish custom, and is sure to bring increase. Many of the richest men in this country have been tithers, and I have never known it to fail as an investment.

The tenth-part goes forth and returns blessed and multiplied. But the gift or tithe must be given with love and cheerfulness, for "God loveth a cheerful giver." Bills should be paid cheerfully, all money should be sent forth fearlessly and with a blessing.

This attitude of mind makes man master of money. It is his to obey, and his spoken word then opens vast reservoirs of wealth.

Man, himself, limits his supply by his limited vision. Sometimes the student has a great realization of wealth, but is afraid to act.

The vision and action must go hand in hand, as in the case of the man who bought the fur-lined overcoat.

A woman came to me asking me to "speak the word" for a position. So I demanded: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for this woman's right position." Never ask for just "a position"; ask for the right position, the place already planned in Divine Mind, as it is the only one that will give satisfaction.

I then gave thanks that she had already received, and that it would manifest quickly. Very soon, she had three positions offered her, two in New York and one in Palm Beach, and she did not know which to choose. I said, "Ask for a definite lead."

The time was almost up and was still undecided, when one day, she telephoned, "When I woke up this morning, I could smell Palm Beach." She had been there before and knew its balmy fragrance.

I replied: "Well, if you can smell Palm Beach from here, it is certainly your lead." She accepted the position, and it proved a great success. Often one's lead comes at an unexpected time.

One day, I was walking down the street, when I suddenly felt a strong urge to go to a certain bakery, a block or two away.

The reasoning mind resisted, arguing, "There is nothing there that you want."

However, I had learned not to reason, so I went to the bakery, looked at everything, and there was certainly nothing there that I wanted, but coming out I encountered a woman I had thought of often, and who was in great need of the help which I could give her.

So often, one goes for one thing and finds another.

Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.

A person often receives a lead during a "treatment." The idea that comes may seem quite irrelevant, but some of God's leadings are "mysterious."

In the class, one day, I was treating that each individual would receive a definite lead. A woman came to me afterwards, and said: "While you were treating, I got the hunch to take my furniture out of storage and get an apartment." The woman had come to be treated for health. I told her I knew in getting a home of her own, her health would improve, and I added, "I believe your trouble, which is a congestion, has come from having things stored away. Congestion of things causes congestion in the body. You have violated the law of use, and your body is paying the penalty."

So I gave thanks that "Divine order was established in her mind, body and affairs."

People little dream of how their affairs react on the body. There is a mental correspondence for every disease. A person might receive instantaneous healing through the realization of his body being a perfect idea in Divine Mind, and, therefore, whole and perfect, but if he continues his destructive thinking, hoarding, hating, fearing, condemning, the disease will return.

Jesus Christ knew that all sickness came from sin, but admonished the leper after the healing, to go and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon him.

So man's soul (or subconscious mind) must be washed whiter than snow, for permanent healing; and the metaphysician is always delving deep for the "correspondence."

Jesus Christ said, "Condemn not lest ye also be condemned."

"Judge not, lest ye be judged."

Many people have attracted disease and unhappiness through condemnation of others.

What man condemns in others, he attracts to himself.

For example: A friend came to me in anger and distress, because her husband had deserted her for another woman. She condemned the other woman, and said continually, "She knew he was a married man, and had no right to accept his attentions."

I replied: "Stop condemning the woman, bless her, and be through with the situation, otherwise, you are attracting the same thing to yourself."

She was deaf to my words, and a year or two later, became deeply interested in a married man, herself.

Man picks up a live-wire whenever he criticises or condemns, and may expect a shock.

Indecision is a stumbling-block in many a pathway. In order to overcome it, make the statement repeatedly, "I am always under direct inspiration; I make right decisions, quickly."

These words impress the subconscious, and soon one finds himself awake and alert, making his right moves without hesitation. I have found it destructive to look to the psychic plane for guidance, as it is the plane of many minds and not the "The One Mind."

As man opens his mind to subjectivity, he becomes a target for destructive forces. The psychic plane is the result of man's mortal thought, and is on the "plane of opposites." He may receive either good or bad messages.

The science of numbers and the reading of horoscopes, keep man down on the mental (or mortal) plane, for they deal only with the Karmic path.

I know of a man who should have been dead, years ago, according to his horoscope, but he is alive and a leader of one of the biggest movements in this country for the uplift of humanity.

It takes a very strong mind to neutralize a prophecy of evil. The student should declare, "Every false prophecy shall come to naught; every plan my Father in heaven has not planned, shall be dissolved and dissipated, the divine idea now comes to pass."

However, if any good message has ever been given one, of coming happiness, or wealth, harbor and expect it, and it will manifest sooner or later, through the law of expectancy.

Man's will should be used to back the universal will. "I will that the will of God be done."

It is God's will to give every man, every righteous desire of his heart, and man's will should be used to hold the perfect vision, without wavering.

The prodigal son said: "I will arise and go to my Father."

It is indeed, often an effort of the will to leave the husks and swine of mortal thinking. It is so much easier, for the average person, to have fear than faith; so faith is an effort of the will.

As man becomes spiritually awakened he recognizes that any external in-harmony is the correspondence of mental in-harmony. If he stumbles or falls, he may know he is stumbling or falling in consciousness.

One day, a student was walking along the street condemning someone in her thoughts. She was saying mentally, "That woman is the most disagreeable woman on earth," when suddenly three boy scouts rushed around the corner and almost knocked her over. She did not condemn the boy scouts, but immediately called on the law of forgiveness, and "saluted the divinity" in the woman. Wisdom's way are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.

When one has made his demands upon the Universal, he must be ready for surprises. Everything may seem to be going wrong, when in reality, it is going right.

For example: A woman was told that there was no loss in divine mind, therefore, she could not lose anything which belonged to her; anything lost, would be returned, or she would receive its equivalent.

Several years previously, she had lost two thousand dollars. She had loaned the money to a relative during her lifetime, but the relative had died, leaving no mention of it in her will. The woman was resentful and angry, and as she had no written statement of the transaction, she never received the money, so she determined to deny the loss, and collect the two thousand dollars from the Bank of the Universal. She had to begin by forgiving the woman, as resentment and unforgiveness close the doors of this wonderful bank.

She made this statement, "I deny loss, there is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore, I cannot lose the two thousand dollars, which belong to me by divine right. "As one door shuts another door opens."

She was living in an apartment house which was for sale; and in the lease was a clause, stating that if the house was sold, the tenants would be required to move out within ninety days.

Suddenly, the landlord broke the leases and raised the rent. Again, injustice was on her pathway, but this time she was undisturbed. She blessed the landlord, and said, "As the rent has been raised, it means that I'll be that much richer, for God is my supply."

New leases were made out for the advanced rent, but by some divine mistake, the ninety days clause had been forgotten. Soon after, the landlord had an opportunity to sell the house. On account of the mistake in the new leases, the tenants held possession for another year.

The agent offered each tenant two hundred dollars if he would vacate. Several families moved; three remained, including the woman. A month or two passed, and the agent again appeared. This time he said to the woman, "Will you break your lease for the sum of fifteen hundred dollars?" It flashed upon her, "Here comes the two thousand dollars." She remembered having said to friends in the house, "We will all act together if anything more is said about leaving." So her lead was to consult her friends.

These friends said," Well, if they have offered you fifteen hundred they will certainly give two thousand." So she received a check for two thousand dollars for giving up the apartment. It was certainly a remarkable working of the law, and the apparent injustice was merely opening the way for her demonstration.

It proved that there is no loss, and when man takes his spiritual stand, he collects all that is his from this great Reservoir of Good.

"I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten."

These adverse thoughts, alone, rob man; for "No man gives to himself but himself, and no man takes away from himself, but himself."

Man is here to prove God and "to bear witness to the truth," and he can only prove God by bringing plenty out of lack, and justice out of justice.

"Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."

{STEP 4} ASK FOR HELP

{STEP 4} 

ASK FOR HELP 



Affirm and yet affirm once more. 
Your persistent prayers will succeed. 
-CHARLES FILLMORE 








DONALD TRUMP ENCOURAGES YOU to 
"Think BIG." Everyone should. I know I do. So 
should you. I've had many dreams along my 
journey. During the early years I stood in the way 
of those dreams. It wasn't just my old beliefs that 
stood in my way - it was also my attitude. It was 
me against the world! I could do anything. I was 
Mister Macho. 

Back when I was struggling in Houston,I became
determined to be a published author. I could do it
 - I knew I could - and I could do it myself. I 
didn't need anyone's approval or help. I was the 
captain of my own ship - just the way I wanted it 
- just as I had learned from authors like Jack 
London and Ernest Hemingway. I thought of 
myself as the Lone Ranger. All I needed was a 
horse and a pair of six shooters, and I was good 
to go. But I didn't realize that this attitude was 
preventing me from achieving my goals. 

Something eye-opening happened one day. I 
heard the term 'Lone Ranger Syndrome' at a 
networking seminar, presented by Donna Fisher 
and Sandy Vilas. They pointed out that I was just 
one person and if I continued with the attitude 
that I could do everything myself, then I wasn't 
going to accomplish much. I had always felt that 
asking for help was a sign of weakness. But 
Donna asked, "When somebody asks you for 
help, how do you feel?" 

I admitted that I like being asked for help. I enjoy
helping others. It makes me feel good and even 
honored, that they would think I could help them
with their problems. When I didn't ask others for
help, I was denying those feelings and preventing
others the opportunity to feel good. From that 
day on, I started asking for help. This is the

{Step 4: Ask For Help


fourth step to attracting money into your life: 
you must ask for help. 

Ask anyone who is in a position to help you. 
When you think about asking for help to reach 
your goals, there are two levels to asking. 

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE 

The first level of asking is spiritual. In time, I 
got off the street and was no longer living in 
poverty. But I was still dealing with a mountain 
of bills. Your problems don't disappear instantly 
just because you decide to think differently. It 
takes work and patience. I was making progress. 
I was still struggling to keep my household 
afloat. Those were tough times and we've all 
been there. 

I remember having a huge stack of bills sitting 
on my bedroom desk. I would lie in bed, see the 
bills and cringe. I had no way to pay them. I kept 
them stacked in the order they were due. Maybe 
you do this too. It makes you feel like you're 
doing something, even though you cannot pay 
them. I would lie in bed wondering, "What am I 
going to do?" I believed I had no options with 
nowhere to turn. So I did the only thing I could 
- I prayed. 

I asked God for help. It makes no difference 
what your beliefs are - praying to a higher power
helps tremendously. You can ask the Divine,God 
or Spirit for help. I told the Divine, "I can't do 
this. I can't pull it off.I don't see what I'm missing, 
I don't see the opportunities. I don't see where I'm
going to earn, receive or attract any money. 
Please help me." 

Asking for help accomplishes two things. First, it 
opens the pathway to receive. You're telling the 
universe that you're ready and open to new 
opportunities, as well as accepting help to meet 
your goals. Prior to praying, I wanted to do every
-thing myself, so I wasn't open to receiving or 
identifying any possible opportunities. My mind 
and heart were closed. 

Asking for help also allows you to release some 
of your stress. I know when I ask the Divine for 
help, it frees my mind to go on with what I need 
to do rather than obsessing or focusing on the 
same old problem. It lowered my stress. I know 
that once I started asking for help, I didn't spend
nearly as many sleepless nights staring at that
pile of bills. I could finally sleep because I 
believed that I was going to receive help - and I 
did. 

The idea is to ask for help from a higher source. 
Then let go of your stress and have faith your 
prayer will be answered. Finally, take

inspired action on the ideas you receive and the 
opportunities that come your way. Ask and act. 

Decide how you want to approach the Divine. It's
important that you make this connection and allow
the Divine to help you. You must ask over and 
over in a way that's spiritually correct for you. 
This force can see the big picture - your ego can't.
When I was struggling, my ego was standing in 
the way and I had to ask for help to move forward. 
Because my mind refused to see the path, I had no
idea there were so many different ways I could
attract money. I missed out. Now money flows to
and through me from so many unexpected 
avenues that I can't even keep up with them all. 
I'm constantly surprised and thrilled when a new 
flow of money appears in my life. This is all due
to the fact that I continue to ask. 

I always make time to ask. It's easy to forget or 
let it go. I like to spend time in my hot tub each 
night. This is my gratitude time. It's when I 
communicate with the universe and say things 
like, "I'm working on this particular problem and
I don't know how to resolve it." 

I ask for help and guidance so I can get on the
right path. This type of asking also comes with
responsibility. When I am shown the way, I get 
on that path and take action. This was one of the
holdups for me early in the game. I had my mind
focused on the idea that I could only receive 
money from certain places. When other sources 
showed up, I was reluctant to act and missed out.
I'm stubborn, but I learned that following my gut 
feelings or intuition is always the right move. If I 
get the feeling to call a particular person, buy a 
certain book, blog about an unusual subject, I do 
it right away, without questioning why. 

MASTERMINDING TO SUCCESS 

The second level is to ask other people for help.
I'm not the best at this and don't always ask for 
help when I should. I will often wait until I'm 
backed into a corner and then ask. If I'd just asked
in the first place, things would go much smoother. 
This is one of the reasons I founded the JoeVitale's 
Miracles Coaching Program and the Hypnotic 
Marketing Coaching Program. All of us need 
help. Everyone from the person struggling to get 
off the streets to the top CEOs running billion 
dollar companies, needs good advice and needs 
help. 

When you receive help from another person, you 
both benefit from the positive flow of energy and
the combined force of your wills.When you have
at least two people or more who get together to 
discuss

{Step 4: Ask For Help


an issue or possible options, you get a wonderful 
mixture of ideas and encouragement. Far more 
than you would ever expect. This is because each 
of us has limitations. As a group we ask each 
other, as well as the Divine for help. This 
produces much more energy than you could ever 
generate by yourself. 

I strongly encourage everyone to be in a master-
mind group. This is a group of people, acting as 
a support team, who are like-minded and willing
to help each other. Ideally the group will have 
six or fewer people in order to be most effective.
Each person talks about their goals and the issues
they've encountered. The ideas and options flow 
from all of the group members. 

Mastermind groups are nothing new and have 
been popular since Napoleon Hill defined them 
in the book, Think and Grow Rich.These groups 
were key to some of the world's most successful
business people and they still are today. Bill 
Hibbler and I wrote a whole book about 
"Masterminding" called Meet and Grow Rich . 
The idea of this type of group can be seen 
everywhere, from the presidential cabinet 
to corporate boards of directors. These groups 
come together to offer ideas to each other for
running complex businesses or even nations. 
Every one of us can benefit from this type of 
support group. 

I find it valuable to talk to people with similar 
experiences. If you've decided to start a business, 
it's wonderful to talk to experienced people. 
Learning about their successes and failures can 
shorten your learning curve and prevent you from 
making costly mistakes. 

Having several people with varied backgrounds 
in your mastermind group is important because 
they have differing perspectives and viewpoints. 
They'll also be able to help you see things from 
new angles and understand certain issues that you
may not have thought of yet. They can enhance 
your goals and objectives by bringing additional 
connections and resources to you that'll expand 
your business. 

Let's say you want to generate media attention for
your new business. One of the people in your 
group may have experience or contacts in the 
media that will provide an 'in.' This will help you
get the coverage you want. It always amazes me 
how small the world really is. There have been 
many times while I've been attending mastermind
meetings and a great idea would come up. And 
sure enough, someone in the group knew 
someone who knew someone who could help 
make it happen. 

One of the benefits is the accountability and 
inspiration you'll receive. If I'm in a mastermind
group and tell people that one of my 



www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com 67

goals is to have my own infomercial, I know that 
they're going to ask about my progress. This will 
motivate me to take action and get things moving. 

For example, years ago I went into my master-
mind group at the time and announced, "I intend 
to be in a movie." I had no acting experience nor 
any contacts. My group could have laughed and 
ridiculed my wild notion. Instead, they supported
me. They simply held the same intention as me: 
for me to be in a movie. As a result, six months 
later I was asked to be in the movie, The Secret .
The rest, as they say, is history. 

I'm not saying you'll end up in a movie by being
in a mastermind (you might). I am saying they 
are powerful tools for helping you attract money 
and achieve goals. 

Creating this type of group is easy. In fact you may
already have a loose association of people that 
would be interested in forming this type of group. 
Treat each member like they're part of your own 
board of directors. You don't want just anyone in 
your group. You want those people who have 
backgrounds that match what you're working on. 
For example, if you want to own a restaurant, 
your group may be made up of another restaurant
owner, accountant, banker, lawyer, insurance 
agent or even a food wholesaler. These contacts 
can offer a wide range of advice and help that 
will prove extremely valuable to you. 

One word of caution: do not automatically 
include your friends and family unless they're 
going into business with you. Even then you 
must be cautious. It's a natural tendency to 
include those you love, but you must realize that 
they'll be operating from their own belief systems
- many of the same beliefs you are trying to move
past. My family is still shocked that I've done so 
well. It seems to confuse them as they only see 
me as their brother, uncle, or son, rather than as a
marketer or businessman. While family and 
friends usually mean well, it's rare they would 
have the skills needed to push you along in your
quest for success. 

To create a mastermind group dedicated to your
success, you need to reach out to your current 
network. Remember that everyone knows some-
one who knows the right person. So let them 
know that you are asking for their help as an 
advisor and part of your mastermind team. You
will be surprised at how willing people are to 
help when asked. They feel honored. And you're 
offering them the opportunity to participate in 
something that makes them feel good. They are 
helping themselves while they are helping you.

{ Step 4: Ask For Help }



They may participate by phone or in an informal 
setting. They may be all together or one-on-one. 
Do whatever works for you. You can even set up 
discussions by email so everyone stays in the 
loop. With modern technology it's much easier 
to reach out to those who aren't even in your 
geographical area. Some of my best advisors are 
international and we can easily communicate 
from anywhere around the world.

THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS 

You will find that people will come and go, 
while others touch your life each day. Everyone 
has something to offer. I've stayed in touch with 
people through my blog. I get tons of support and
encouragement through this one channel alone. 
I'm able to help people like little Kirk, as well as 
others. I receive money, gifts and great 
opportunities because I'm willing to put myself 
out there and let people get to know me. 

I have to admit it was a little strange having 
people I did not know come up and talk to me as
if they knew me. They got to know me from read
-ing my blog. It was hard for me to get used to, 
but before long, I recognized the power that this
offered. 

It's been difficult for me in the past to open up to 
anyone. This is why I still sometimes find it hard 
to ask for help.I know many other people struggle 
with this same issue.What I've gained by allowing 
people into my life has far outweighed any 
uncertainty or reservations I once had. Having 
said that, I still try hard to remember that there are 
specific actions I can take to enhance all my 
relationships. 

The easiest part is to find out how I can help 
them. People fascinate me. I'm curious as to how 
they think and what makes them tick. Just like 
the conversation I had with my brother, when I 
encounter a new person, I want to know what 
their goals are, what they dream about and how
I can help. Now they can either take my advice 
or not, but I'm there to help - which opens me to
receive help from them as well. It is a constant
flow back and forth. 

This type of give-and-take means you must have
a generous heart. You must be willing to give 
yourself and your ideas to others. I have known
many people who refused to offer ideas because
they were afraid their ideas would be "stolen." 
I can tell you that there are no new ideas. The 
universe will give someone else the same idea 
if you don't act on it. I can also say from 
experience that when you 



www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com  69

help someone succeed, they'll go way out of their 
way to help you in return. This has happened 
repeatedly to me. 

One of the mistakes I made was to let people 
flow in and out of my life without following up 
or making a real connection. I didn't follow up 
or stay in touch. I can say that it's very easy to do,
especially when you start doing well. You get 
busy. And if you don't take time to make contact
with people,you'll lose some of your momentum. 
always remember that each person I encounter
may be the catalyst for my next big success, and 
to overlook that or cast it aside, is to waste their
gift. 

I provide value to others. But does that mean I 
am always right? NO. I'm human. And when I 
make a mistake or mess up, I'm usually the first 
one to admit it. You don't have to pretend to know
it all or pretend that everything is fine or that you
don't need help. We all need help. And by 
allowing people to know your vulnerabilities, 
it attracts knowledge and resources to you that 
you may not have had otherwise. I went for 
years thinking I had to be a mysterious, 
struggling writer, trying to make a living. I kept
to myself and didn't let people know my real 
situation. Now I'm convinced that it prolonged 
my agony for no reason. Be authentic and 
people will respond to you. 

No matter what level of success you achieve,
you will not do it by yourself. I constantly 
remind myself to be grateful for every single 
person who helps me. I say thank you at least
once a day. I know I'm just one person and 
without others, I would still be in a dark little 
room in Texas banging out my next book on an
antiquated computer. I have seen some business
people who barely even noticed those around
them who made things happen. They treated
their assistants and coworkers like dirt! I can't
imagine ever working for someone like that. I'm
sure every person who is treated in such a bad 
manner only does the minimum required when
their full effort could be such a huge benefit. I 
don't want to be one of those people. By 
expressing my gratitude everyday, I stay 
grounded and am reminded that I'm just a guy 
with a dream. If it wasn't for the kindness of 
others I'd be in big trouble. 

It takes a big person to give credit to others, but 
the positive emotion it brings is tremendous. I 
don't mean that you should offer false compli-
ments or platitudes - just point out what people
do well. There's a special feeling you get when
someone comes to you and says, "I heard such
great things about you from someone you worked 
with last year. I want to pursue the possibility of
working with you as 


70 www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com 



{ Step 4: Ask For Help }



well." That kind of comment can make my day! 
No one has to say nice things about you - 
especially when you are out of earshot.And when 
you hear something positive like this from a third 
party it makes you feel 10 feet tall. Everyone 
you work with deserves the same feeling. 

I find it easy to connect with people. This is 
even easier when you learn to laugh. Believe it or
not, I used to be a very serious person. You'd 
rarely see a smile on my face and every time I 
looked in the mirror I saw a furrowed brow. I 
thought that life was this serious life-and-death 
struggle and that I had to stay on my toes or it 
would bury me. Life comes at you whether 
you're ready or not. And if you can meet your
challenges with a smile on your face and 
laughter in your heart, then you are the kind of
person that others want to be around. You don't 
have to treat every decision as if your whole 
existence is riding on it.Not only will you benefit 
from a relaxed state of mind - but so will 
everyone around you. 

As you focus on helping everyone you come into
contact with, you will soon be reaping the 
benefits. Their knowledge and experience will lift
you to a new level. The important lesson is to 
freely give to others without the expectation of 
getting anything in return from them. The 
receiving will come naturally with these 
relationships just as it does when you give money.
Investing your time and emotion in others is a 
great investment. This will get you through 
difficult times while keeping you motivated and
inspired. 

I've read dozens of financial books and they 
always start out with do A, then do B, then do C 
and all will be right. That's crazy. It doesn't start 
with doing - it starts with being. You must get 
your thoughts and beliefs in line. Then you must
get help. If you think you can do this by yourself, 
you're setting yourself up to be disappointed. 

I have given many talks about money in the past 
few years, all over the world, and the participants 
always start with "How? How do I get the 
money?" You need to understand that it has no-
thing to do with dollars and cents and everything 
to do with just getting into the flow. That won't 
happen if you run around chasing a dollar. Until 
you really understand and get that fact, you will
never attract money. 

There are many people who might try to tell you 
how to attract more money who haven't been 
where you are, but I've been at the bottom. I 
wasn't born into money and I didn't win the 
lottery. In fact for a large portion of my life, I did
everything wrong trying to chase money and it 
didn't work. So don't think I'm telling you things
that I haven't tried. I know for a fact what I'm 
telling you works, because

I've made every mistake along the path that could 
be made. When I finally understood these 
principles, I was able to overcome and so will 
you. All I can say is that if you already had the 
answer, you'd be a millionaire right now. So why
not try something different that might get you 
there? You can't be any worse off for trying. 
What if it actually works for you, just like it did 
for me? 

Remember, the fourth step is to ask for help
from your connection to a higher power to the 
people you feel can help you move ahead. 

And now on to the next step.
