{STEP 7} HELP YOUR COMMUNITY AND YOUR WORLD

{STEP 7} 

HELP YOUR UNITYCOMMUNITY 

AND YOUR WORLD 

"I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the 
infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise
distribution. "— ANDREW CARNEGIE 

IF THERE IS ONE CONCEPT that I must get 
across to you it is that we are not alone. I don't 
mean that little green men will land in your back-
yard, but that we as humans are connected to one 
another - and what we do, think and feel affects 
others. The seventh and final step to attracting
money is caring for your community and the 
world as a whole. 

I recently saw a show on the History Channel 
that taught the history of the prison system. In the
late 1800s several large prisons were built in the
United States. The idea behind these prisons 
wasn't reform; it was punishment. The prisoners
were kept in absolute solitude for years on end. 
This drove legions of prisoners insane and lead to
solitary confinement being regarded as the 
highest level of punishment. 

Humans are social creatures and we can't exist 
without contact with others. We are formed of the
same substance and we connect with one another
constantly. This affords us special opportunities. 
As we learn and experience personal growth and
success, we can't help having an impact on every-
one around us. As one person is raised up, it 
naturally lifts those around them, while providing
inspiration and hope. 

When you view everyone as interconnected, 
you'll realize that as you attract more money into
your life, you have the opportunity to effect 
change in others. This is the seventh and final
step to attracting money - caring for your 
community and the world. This works hand- 

in-hand with giving - but it's not just about 
money. It's about sharing your time, knowledge 
and the lessons you've learned. Your success is a

Step 7: Help Your Community and Your World 

great catalyst for doing good in the world. I'm 
constantly looking for ways to give back, as well 
as connect with others in meaningful ways. Due 
to the time I spent homeless, I find homelessness 
a crisis that's very close to my heart. I know it 
can happen to anyone because I experienced it 
firsthand. I wanted to do something to help. I 
didn't want to simply offer food or clothing. 
There are many charities that already meet those 
needs. What I wanted to do was something that 

could help people rescue themselves financially 
by teaching them the techniques and skills to be 
financially successful. It's called Operation YES. 
YES stands for Your Economic Salvation and is 
a project that I'm working on with several 
partners. Our mission is to end homelessness 

and stop foreclosures. 

The spark for Operation YES arrived like every 
other inspiration I've had. Here's the story. I 
heard about the economic stimulus package that 
was offered several years ago. The government 
decided to give out checks for $300 or $600 to 
everyone. I heard this and thought, "That's a nice 
thought but it's not going to make a real 
difference." I figured that most people would buy
clothes, pay a bill or even pay down some debt. 
But it wasn't going to change their lives or help 

them become financially sound. As I was sitting 
there, I thought, "You know, someone should do
something that really makes a difference." And 
that's when it hit me like a bolt of lightning. Why 
not me? I'm someone. I know enough about how
hard it is to start your life over from nothing. 
Why couldn't I do something? So I did. 

I figured that if I can teach people to raise their 
self-esteem, then they'd have a real chance to 
improve their life. Self-esteem is important when
you're on the bottom rung of life. You feel like a
failure. You feel like the lowest most insignificant 
person alive. But you're not! It's just your 
perception and mindset of the moment.Those who
are both broke and homeless suffer from a double
whammy. Operation YES teaches people how to 
rebuild their self-esteem, so they have hope, can 
feel worthwhile and that they can accomplish 
positive things. 

Once the homeless have recovered their self-esteem, I teach them 

about the Law of Attraction and how they can attract anything they 

want, including money and opportunities. Operation YES shows people 

that this basic rule of psychology can change their lives permanently 

and they won't have to worry about ending up on the streets again. I 

tell them that what they focus on will increase or expand. This means 

if they focus on being homeless and broke, they will get more of that 

https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/philanthropy  99 

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 

in their lives. Unfortunately most people who live on the street only 

focus on survival. 

In order to see the opportunity to improve their lives, they must 

think differently while focusing on a new and better life. They must 

use the Law of Attraction and see their end result not the reality of 

the moment. They have to stop and think about what they want. This 

seems obvious to you and me, but how often do average people with 

the house, dog, two cars and three kids stop to think about their lives? 

We are creatures of habit with comfort zones. And we stay in them, 

even if our comfort zones produce negative results. It can happen to 

anyone. 

The third level of Operation YES is to teach the homeless 

entrepreneurial skills, much like the ones I've described in this book. 

They can work for anyone from a bank president to a homeless person. 

I'm living proof that these skills work. The ones who really understand 

these principles, know they can generate income from pursuing things 

they love rather than trying to eke out a living flipping burgers or 

bagging groceries for someone else. They can create their own lives, 

their own incomes, and never be dependent on anyone else ever 

again. 

I choose to help the planet by helping those in severe need. 

You may choose a very different avenue but it's important that you 

participate in your community and your world because whatever you 

send out will come back to you. Emotions of goodwill and love for 

people you don't know, will create tremendous flow of those same 

emotions back to you. It's an awe-inspiring thing to see. 

When you start to think bigger than yourself and what you want, 

you release the limitations from your life that were blocking more 

money from coming your way. You may be wondering why this has 

any effect on money. Money is only one resource, as is love, caring 

and abundance. It is our own human beliefs that separate the ideas of 

human kindness and charity from money. Some think that money and 

pure altruism cannot exist together. Not only do they exist together - 

they're intertwined. The resource of money is not separate. 

If you don't care about the people around you or treat them as if 

they don't matter, you'll stop the flow of possibilities. This includes 

your financial prosperity. Creating a vehicle for good that you feel 

passionate about is the final step toward true prosperity.

Step 7: Help Your Community and Your World 

YOU CONTROL THE UNIVERSE 

I enjoyed a moderate amount of success before I completely 

understood these principles. In fact, what really started my journey 

of intense personal growth, and what motivates me to continue, is 

my intrigue with how some people overcome negative and hopeless 

situations to succeed and others don't. I've come all the way from the 

streets to a really nice life, yet I couldn't really verbalize or explain 

how it happened. This concerned me. I was afraid if I didn't know 

what caused my success, I might lose it. 

Of course I now know that the reason I succeeded without really 

understanding the power of the Law of Attraction was that I figured 

it out intuitively and used it unconsciously. I was determined to 

try anything, and through trial and error, some things worked, so I 

continued to do them. It wasn't until later I understood about asking, 

or giving or any of the concepts that are an integral part of true and 

lasting success. 

I realized that when I focused on what I really want, I would 

attract it. When I was stressed and worried about my situation, things 

got worse. I'm not a fan of pain and suffering, so I went with what 

worked. It wasn't until later that I realized the awesome power our 

minds possess. It's a little scary that I just wielded that power willy- 

nilly at one time. Now I'm aware and it's this awareness that allows 

a higher form of knowledge to flow through me, allowing me to 

accomplish things that I never could've on my own. 

If we believe something to exist, so it is. Now those words really 

underscore the power you have within you. You shape the world you 

live in and have the power to reshape it. Yet so many people waste 

this power on habitual thoughts and old beliefs that originated with 

others. Changing your thoughts alone will not produce your desired 

results. You must also take inspired action. The awareness that you are 

connected to a tremendous source of power will guide your actions. 

There is a great exercise that really illustrates the power of your mind 

and how a new mindset can be the catalyst for tremendous change. 

Imagine that you're in a dark room where every comfort has been 

provided to you. The room is completely dark preventing you from 

reaching out for those things you desire. You were told that the room 

has lights, so you instinctively grope along the wall, where you're 

accustomed to finding a switch. 

For many hours you pass your hands up and down the walls 

as far as you can reach until your arms ache. About the time you're 

https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/philanthropy 101 

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 

ready to give up the search, you keep going, determined to locate the 

switch. You're determined to enjoy the good things awaiting you, so 

you sustain your search, knowing that you'll ultimately find a way to 

turn on the light. 

After more searching, you pause to rest. You wonder where 

that switch could possibly be. "It must be here, and I will find it," 

you say to yourself, and again you pass your hands over the walls, 

although you feel certain that you've already gone over every inch 

of wall within your reach. This time your thoughts and movements 

are not quite so tense, although equally determined. As your hands 

move slowly up and down, your mind sparks the idea that the switch 

might not be on the wall at all. You pause for a moment. Next, you 

think that the switch might be on the floor. But reason steps in and 

argues, "Impossible. Who ever heard of a light switch being placed on 

the floor!" 

"But," the suggestion persists, "why not try? You've gone over 

everywhere you thought it would be. What the heck, try the floor." 

Then you reach out across the floor with your foot hoping to find 

something feeling like a light switch. Instantly your toes brush against 

an unfamiliar object. You put your hand on what seems to be a push 

button, but no light appears. Nevertheless, you now feel quite sure 

that you've located the switch. 

Pause, and ask yourself, "How does this thing work? It won't 

push and it won't pull." Back comes the answer within yourself, like 

a spoken word. "Sideways." You move it sideways, and the room is 

flooded with light. Your joy at finding a responsive intelligence within 

yourself cannot be expressed in words. It is a rapture of the heart that 

many others have felt at various times. 

This story is a mirror of how holding onto the correct mindset 

helps you meet your goals. At first you reach out for what you know, 

and the answer is not there. It's at that point you begin to search and 

open yourself to other ideas. Even when you encounter obstacles and 

become frustrated, you still search for answers. The answer comes to 

you from what seems like thin air, but it's the universal intelligence 

helping you reach your goals and giving you the answers. This is 

because you stayed focused on your goal. 

Now imagine yourself in the same room under the same 

conditions. After several attempts at feeling around in the dark, you 

feel tired, more or less discouraged, and you reason with yourself, 

"Oh, what is the use? There may be a light switch in this room, and 

102 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/philanthropy 

Step 7: Help Your Community and Your World 

the room may contain everything I require and again it may not." But 

something indefinable within yourself convinces you that not only 

is the light there, but so are the things you enjoy and desire. You say 

"Well, if everything I enjoy is here, what a pity that I cannot find the 

switch! I wonder why the light was not already turned on for me." 

This is a typical reaction for many people. They say, "It's not 

my fault, it's the crazy mixed-up world we live in! It's my family, my 

boss, the President and I can't help it." They blame everyone and 

everything when they have the ability to overcome the issue - but 

refuse to understand that they already possess that power. 

Once you recognize that there's a universal intelligence that can 

and will respond, you also understand your own responsibility to act 

on it. Just like being in the dark room, you had to act in order to find 

the answer. Even when you didn't have a clue why things weren't 

working or what might work. You must keep trying and wait for the 

spark of intuitive intelligence to appear. 

PERSISTENCE OF WILL 

You must never quit. I encounter people everyday who seem to 

have QUIT tattooed on their foreheads. It's as if they have made up 

their minds way in advance that they will give a new idea X amount of 

effort and that's it. They may decide that rather than 100% effort they 

will give 95%, but usually it's more like 30% or 40%. They don't really 

want to commit, so when they fail, they have a ready-made excuse. 

They can distance themselves from becoming emotionally attached to 

the outcome. 

We all have our low points or our own personal 'crises of faith.' 

Persistence is the ability to maintain your action and outlook regardless 

of your feelings. You press on even when you feel like quitting. When 

you work toward any big goal, it's normal for your motivation to ebb 

and flow like waves hitting the beach. 

Sometimes you'll feel motivated; sometimes you won't. But it's 

your action that will produce results. Persistence allows you to keep 

taking inspired action, even when you don't feel motivated. Then 

you still produce results. Over time, persistence will enhance your 

motivation, as the quest becomes almost like a puzzle you must solve. 

It's just like trying to find the light switch. The persistence to keep 

looking and thinking of other possibilities will motivate you far beyond 

your limits. If you keep taking inspired action, you'll eventually get 

results. These results will continue to motivate you. For example, you 

https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/philanthropy  103 

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 

may become much more excited about attracting money when you go 

to your mailbox and find a check you didn't expect. 

Persistence doesn't mean you blindly stumble forward no matter 

what. You must be willing to step back and evaluate your progress 

and stay on the path toward your goals. Persistence means you keep 

searching for answers and plugging away consistently at your dreams. 

Persistence is not stubbornness and this can be a difficult lesson to 

learn. Many people were raised to believe that once you set a goal 

you should stick with it and go down with the ship if necessary. This 

is why people stay in jobs they hate, live for years in a location they 

don't care for and spend their time with people they don't like. They 

are living in guilt - not persistence. 

As you grow, your dreams and desires will change. They will grow 

and morph into something way beyond what you can imagine. When 

I was studying at Kent State to become a journalist, I never imagined 

that several decades later I'd be speaking to more than 17,000 people 

in Lima, Peru or scale the heights of Machu Picchu - but I did. 

Speaking of Peru, I spoke there because of two young 

entrepreneurs named Raul and Hugo. These men live in a third- 

world country, yet they dream BIG. They wanted me to speak to their 

country. At first their goal was to have me speak to 35,000 people 

and meet the President of Peru. Sometimes, things change as you 

make progress to your dreams. Instead of speaking to 35,000 people, I 

spoke to 17,000. Instead of meeting the President of Peru, I met with 

television reporters that promoted me to the entire country. Raul and 

Hugo kept their vision while they took inspired action and adapted 

the event as new information became available. Meeting them was 

a thrill. And speaking to the crowd they gathered was one of the 

highlights of my life. I expect even bigger things to come. 

My dreams have grown and changed and so will yours. You can't 

guarantee that the goals you set today will still be the ones you want 

to achieve a year from now. In order to make room for new goals, we 

have to delete or finish old ones. Sometimes you'll get a spark that's 

so compelling and inspiring, that there's no way to go back and finish 

your old one. They may have to be abandoned half-finished. I've 

always found it uncomfortable to do this, but I know it's necessary to 

follow that intuitive spark. Let go of the idea that you must complete 

everything you start because sometimes what you learn partway 

through that one idea, leads to an even better one. Follow the lead of 

intuition and it will show you how to discern the true path.

Step 7: Help Your Community and Your World 

Mark was a closet writer when I met him. He worked in a local 

accounting firm and had dreams of publishing a book to help college 

kids learn basic financial principles. He worked on it on and off 

for years and everyone in his life knew he'd been working on this 

book forever and doubted that it would ever be finished. Finally a 

college administrator walked into his office. After talking a bit, the 

conversation turned to how much of a need there is to teach young 

people how to handle money. Mark told the administrator that he 

was working on a book about it. The administrator asked if he'd be 

interested in teaming up and co-authoring the book. 

Mark had a decision to make. Did he set aside his dream, or did 

he seize this opportunity? After some thinking about it, Mark decided 

that taking the co-authoring opportunity was the right decision. 

The book was published a year later and met with success due to the 

backing of Mark's coauthor and the university he worked for. Mark 

was soon out lecturing and teaching his passion to young people, an 

opportunity that might have languished and disappeared if he hadn't 

been willing to alter his dream. 

These days I set very big goals. I want to receive all there is out 

there. Does this mean that I set out on a path only to hop on another 

one when an opportunity presents itself? Yes! I have lots of different 

ideas and opportunities that come my way. In the early years I had a 

hard time deciding which ones I was supposed to take. I'd get these 

'gut' feelings like most people do, then I would try and "logic" my way 

through it. Needless to say I spent a lot of time on things that were a 

waste of time. I learned the hard way. 

These days I've learned to trust my intuition. Sometimes it's 

an emotional connection to the idea or maybe just a feeling about 

a person's potential. I talk to other personal development leaders 

everyday. There are a few that I will work with someday. I just know 

it intuitively. Over time you'll also develop this ability to know which 

opportunities to choose and which to turn down. 

INSPIRE OTHERS 

I read about inspiring people all the time. I like being inspired 

and I want to be an inspiration to others. This is one of the leading 

ways to help improve the lives of people you don't know. We all have 

people who inspire us. But how do you inspire others? I think the first 

way is to be a good role model. People will watch what you do more 

than listen to what you say you're going to do. So in order to inspire 

https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/philanthropy  105 

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 

people, you must do what you say you're going to do. It's sad but 

sometimes true that the more successful you become, the more people 

will come out of nowhere to tear you down. You can't be distracted by 

this noise. As long as you hold true to your principles, you will prove 

them wrong every time. And as you move forward, more supportive 

people will be attracted to you and your success. 

I've heard it said (heck I've even said it!) that people don't care 

what you know until they know how much you care. You can't swoop 

in and tell people what they have to do, how to do it, and expect 

them to listen. You can see this in today's high school classrooms. 

Kids aren't impressed by credentials or awards. They want to know if 

you care about them. Until you show that you care, they won't listen 

to a word you say. Adults are the same way. Take the time to make 

a personal connection with people before you offer any advice. Ask 

questions and take a genuine interest. 

Everyone goes through tough times. You've probably seen people 

that refuse to acknowledge that they've ever had a bad day. Don't be 

one of them. Encourage those who need a kind word, no matter how 

difficult their situation may be. Don't be afraid to share your tough 

memories and experiences. Those who are struggling often feel alone. 

They feel like nobody else has ever had it so bad. Let them know they 

aren't alone. 

Writers often talk about 'filling the well.' This is a reference to the 

fact that you can't be inspiring to others unless you get inspired yourself. 

I read many inspiring stories, blogs and watch inspiring programs and 

films to get and stay inspired. Look for people, ideas, environments 

and knowledge that you find inspiring and motivating. 

It's very important for you to become a great communicator, so 

you can get your message across to others. Listen to how you speak, 

as well as analyze the things you say to people. I've invested plenty of 

time and money to improve my communication skills. 

Always increase your knowledge. Nobody knows everything about 

anything. Learning and growing is an important part of becoming the 

type of person you want to evolve into. Learning from others is key, 

so listen to audio seminars or attend live events. Get books and read 

them. Don't just stick them in the 'to be read' pile (I know that trick!). 

Actually read, understand and act on them. 

I like to challenge people. It's an obligation I take very seriously. 

This doesn't mean I'm confrontational. I simply challenge people to 

get to the next level. This is where I got the nickname "Mr. Fire!" A 

106 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/philanthropy 

Step 7: Help Your Community and Your World 

friend said I was always setting "a fire" under people to get them to 

follow their dreams. Well, I'm here to fire you up now. 

I like to ask people hard questions regarding what they're doing 

to make their dreams come true. I also want to know why they're doing 

it. I do this in every book or program that I produce. On occasion, 

when I'm tired or really drained, I may sit next to a person on a plane 

and never say a word. It will usually cross my mind that I may have 

been put in that seat because the person next to me needed me to ask 

about their life and challenge them to expand their thinking. When 

that thought occurs, I speak. 

Remember, the seventh and final step to attracting 

money is caring for your community and the world as a 

whole. I always want to be the person who inspires others, who cares 

and who makes a difference. You can do the same. 

Now let's put all seven steps together so you can begin to attract 

money now.

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. 
I 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.
