{STEP 6} THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENEUR

{STEP 6}

THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENEUR

The best way to attract money is to think like an 
entrepreneur. - JOE VITALE 

THE REASON YOU WANT to have money is that you 
want freedom. Freedom to go anywhere, do any-
thing, live as you please and enjoy your life to the 
fullest. Money gives us the means to make this 
happen. By far the fastest way to accelerate your 
income is by becoming an entrepreneur. This 
doesn't mean just owning a business. The mistake 
many people make when they own their own 
business is that they move from working for some
-one else to working for the business. They don't 
gain any freedom at all and are tied to the 
business, as if they were working for a major 
corporation. They haven't altered their ideas to 
those ofa true entrepreneur. 

Entrepreneurs are not interested in having a 
business to create a job for themselves. They're 
interested in creating value in as many areas as 
possible. This means that you will attract revenue 
in many ways. Some people refer to this as 
multiple sources of income. The beauty is that 
once you set it up, it doesn't require much direct
involvement on your part to keep bringing in 
revenue. Books are a good example of this. If 
you write a book, it sells for years, giving you an
ongoing stream of income. 

These types of opportunities pop up all the time 
and if you adopt an entrepreneurial mindset that 
allows you to see them, and commit to act on 
them, you may be shocked at what appears. One
of my favorite stories is how Fit-a-Rita came 
about. Fit-a-Rita is a sugar-free, all natural 
margarita mix that I created. I don't know any-
thing about creating a margarita mix. I do not 
have a background in food service or any clue 
how to bring this type of product to market. 
So how is it that I created a margarita mix?

Step 6: Think Like an Entrepreneur 



Several years ago I was competing in a body-
building contest and was on a diet where the 
only beverage I drank was water and I closely 
watched what I ate. So one night I went out with 
several other people and they all had mixed 
drinks while I sipped my ice water. Back then I 
watched a show on CNBC called The Big Idea 
hosted by Donny Deutsch. He always said that 
your success is right where your problem is, right
where you complain about something. So when
you are about to complain about a service,product
or need for something, that's when you are telling 
yourself that there is an opportunity to earn 
money by fulfilling that need. 

So here I am sitting at this dinner wanting a 
margarita badly! I felt deprived and it just wasn't 
right! So I said, "Somebody needs to make a 
healthy bodybuilder's drink, a bodybuilder's 
margarita mix." 

Of course most everyone laughed, but some 
thought it was a good idea. It was then that the 
little twinge of inspiration hit and the light bulb 
went off in my head and I thought, "This is a 
good idea." I had no clue how to start making this
a reality, but I had learned to ask. I asked for help. 
First I talked with a medical doctor and then a 
nutritionist. We all got together and formed a 
company - Frontier Nutritional Research. These 
two professionals helped me compile an 
ingredient list that was low calorie and healthy 
for bodybuilders (and anyone else). My 
contribution during this phase was to be the 
original taste tester! Not exactly a tough job but
I wanted it to taste great. We went through 
numerous versions until we got one that tasted 
great and was healthy. 

All of this stemmed from one dinner where I 
wanted a healthy margarita. That problem led me
to come up with a solution. You never know 
where these ideas will lead. If you solve 
problems you encounter daily, then by default, 
you'll discover a need that you can profit from. 

When you start to think like an entrepreneur you 
see opportunities everywhere. And you start to 
create them. This is the sixth step in attracting
money into your life. These ideas can be 
Internet-based, intellectual property (like a 
book), food products or services. There are all 
sorts of paths you can follow. 

Anyone can learn to think like an entreprenur. 
As you know, I was once homeless and in 
poverty, so obviously I had to learn how to think 
differently. Now I teach others to expand their 
thinking and look for opportunities. For example, 
here's a testimonial from someone who

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 



just began my Miracles Coaching program taught
by Prosper Learning (used with permission): 

It is hard to put into words all the incredible 
changes Prosper Learning and the Miracles 
Coaching Program have helped me achieve. 

I'd started my journey towards awakening over a 
year before but subconscious limiting beliefs 
were holding me back. Joining Prosper is one of
the best decisions I've ever made. Working with 
JaneenDetrick, my personal Prosper coach has
allowed me to break through those old beliefs 
and replace them with new ones. I now know I'm
going to be wildly successful. I'm thrilled and 
perfectly comfortable with that but, here's the 
best part, I'm already seeing results. I've chosen
to start an online business helping clients 
promote their websites. Before I'd put up my 
own website, ordered business cards, done any
promotion whatsoever or even picked a name for
my business, my first client approached me 
completely out of the blue, hired me on the spot
for three months at $500 per month and the 
following six months at $1500 per month. I'm 
now officially an entrepreneur and the 
possibilities are endless! 

To say it has truly been an amazing experience 
and an incredibly wise investment would be a 
huge understatement, Faneen and Prosper have 
helped me open up the door to the riches of the 
universe and for that I will be eternally grateful.

THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR 

The vast majority of self-made millionaires 
weren't born into money In fact they came from 
modest backgrounds.What made them million-
aires is this entrepreneurial mindset and a very 
strong drive to succeed. 

So here are some questions for you - "How badly 
do you want to succeed? How strong is that drive 
to attain the life you say you want?" It can be 
yours, but you must take the necessary steps for 
it to happen. Mindset is what separates the 
financially empowered from thosein bondage to 
their jobs, bills and old expectations. It also 
separates the modestly successful from the 
tremendously successful. It could be your 
neighbor, your friend or even a family member 
that chooses to understand and use these concepts
to change their lives.

Step 6: Think Like an Entrepreneur 



In order for you to be a millionaire, you must 
think constantly about multiple streams of 
income. I know a pair of fellow writers who 
make money from books and articles, but also 
have rental property. They are also investing in a 
chain of franchise restaurants in Thailand and a 
cherry orchard in Australia. These two ladies 
have also partnered with a radio host to produce a
group of financial radio shows across Canada and
own a percentage of the business generated by an
international speaker and lecturer. I asked them 
how these widely-varied streams of income came
about and here is how they described it: 

Well it's interesting to look back on it now, as we 
never could have guessed we'd be here just three 
years ago. We're writers and that is really our 
skill set, so early on we did a few deals with 
people we thought had great promise to trade our
skills for something they needed. There was a 
radio host who wanted to write a book so we did
that for him as well as his second book and 
agreed to own a percentage of his business in lieu
of payment. Now he's hit it big with this new 
radio show and so have we, as we now are part of
the production team. Another person we did a 
similar agreement with,was a man who was try-
ing to get on the national speaking circuit. We 
helped with his book and in return, a percentage 
of his speaking fees come to us. 

When we started doing better and had some cash,
we wanted to look at ideas that would bring us in
-come and also help others. Anyone can park 
their money in the stock market but we wanted to
do something different and help other entre-
preneurs. We heard about a chef who was start-
ing a franchise of little restaurants in Thailand 
and we thought it was a great idea because it
gave the local people an opportunity to work 
toward owning their own restaurant after the 
tsunami devastated the area. The cherry orchard
came about from an Australian Realtor that we 
helped with a book.She told us that some of the 
farmers near her parent's house were reclaiming
old vineyards to produce cherries which are in 
short supply in the southern hemisphere during 
their summer. We just liked the idea and 
provided some financing and we continue to 
look for ideas that help us diversify and keep
attracting money



https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/finiti 89 



ATTRACT MONEY NOW!



There are a couple of interesting points about this 
story that I want to talk about. First, they were 
looking for opportunities even before they had 
cash flowing in. They were willing to trade skills 
they had for future streams of income. This can be
beneficial for everyone involved. Relationships 
created this way are often much more profitable in
the long run than they would be if there was just 
an exchange of cash for service. So don't think 
you have to have cold hard cash to get started. 
Be creative and see what happens. 

The other item I want to point out is how well 
diversified these two are. They live in Texas, yet 
their money comes from the United States, 
Canada, Thailand and Australia. Don't be afraid 
to do business around the world. To say you only
want to stay within the United States limits your 
opportunities. It is much like saying, "Yes,I want
to attract money but I'll only accept cash." Don't 
limit yourself. These ladies just followed the 
leads provided as they came along and it's turned
out well for them. Besides they can hop over to 
Australia to check on the investments and deduct
the trip! What a deal! 

LET'S TALK MONEY 

The whole idea of creating multiple streams of 
income will have a big impact on your finances. 
But they don't all have to be big. You may start a 
stream of income that produces an extra $100 or 
$200 each month. Is that worth doing? Yes. Not 
only will you continue to grow this income,but 
you will add other streams as well. It's not about 
making a big score every time, but more about
diversifying your flow of money so that no
matter the economy, or anything that happens in
one sector, you'll still have a great income. 

Once the money starts flowing, it's easy to forget
what a big difference it makes in your life. Let's
start with $500. If you earn an additional $500
per month what does that mean? That's an extra
$6000 per year that can pay down your debt,
provide you a great vacation or go into an
investment or enhance a retirement fund. Now
that may not sound like a lot, but let's assume that
you keep that income stream for five years. Now
that's $30,000 - that's a serious chunk of change. 
One of the mistakes people make is evaluating a
stream of income based on a monthly or yearly 
amount, rather than factoring in the full ongoing
amount. 

I can't tell you the number of times I've heard
really smart people say that owning a rental
property isn't worth making a few hundred 

90 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/reserve


Step 6: Think Like an Entrepreneur 


per month. Yet that property will be around for
years consistently producing income, as well as
gaining in value over time. Real estate and many
other long standing solid streams of income are 
often discounted by those who listen to every 
piece of bad news on television. They focus on 
the hassle of getting it going and the risk involved,
not the value of the revenue stream. 

But I'll be honest with you: I don't care about or 
even like rental property. Maybe you don't either
 - but some people do and do very well at it. 
Keep in mind that you can choose what you are
involved in, but you don't have to try something
just because someone else is doing it. 

How about intellectual property? A book for example. 

I've also talked to well-known people who
discount the idea of doing a book. They just don't
think it's really worth it as you generally don't
make much for your first effort. However, if you
keep going as I have, the stream of revenue from
over 30 books is substantial, and it juskeeps
flowing without my active intervention. 

When you're evaluating a potential source of
income, it's important to keep a few things in
mind. First, it should be flexible when you're
starting out. You may have to work around 
your full-time job. Flexibility gives you the
opportunity to attract money without being
tied down to a set schedule or numbers of hours every week. 

I also like opportunities that can grow over time.
While it's great to get $500 each month, it would
be even better if you had the possibility to grow
that amount and eventually generate $1,000 or
$1,500 per month. Another thing you want to 
keep in mind is that you want the income to
continue. Is it sustainable? You don't want to
necessarily put in the time to get the income
started if it's only going to last a few months or
only a year. This is especially true if that same
amount of time and effort could potentially
produce the same income stream that continues
for years. Eventually, you also want that income
stream to function without you having to manage
it every day. 

It's vital that you do what you love. This is why I 
suggest you look at your hobbies as potential ways
to produce income. You enjoy these already or they 
wouldn't be your hobbies. One of the worst things
you can do is get into a business that you don't like
just to make money. Your emotions will inhibit
your ability to attract money because you don't
really like the business in the first place. After a
while it will feel like a weight around your neck
and you'll dread it. This is not a formula for
success. Go with what you love and the money
 will follow.

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 



While you can pony up the big bucks for a number 
of business opportunities, why do that if you don't
have to? I like ideas that cost little or no money to
start. This means that if you're willing to work hard,
you will make a profit from the very first dollar and
you won't have to carry any debt or worry about
making payments. The idea is to achieve freedom
and that's more difficult to do if you saddle yourself
with additional responsibilities and debts. 

I know a lady named Janet who was laid off from
her executive assistant position a couple of years
ago. There were few opportunities and she was
tired of commuting from her suburban home in
Florida to downtown Miami to work. She took
stock of her skill set and found it extensive. She
read an article on the Internet about virtual
assistants who work part time for several 
executives and communicate by phone and email.
Janet now works from home and has two other
assistants working for her who also work from
home. She makes more money than she ever did
being physically in the office and gets much
more work done without the commute and
distraction of co-workers who used to walk into
her office just to chat. Janet is a good example of
someone who basically loved her job, but it just
wasn't working well for her. Now she can use
those same skills and still provide a valuable
service to her clients. 

I see numerous people who think they have to look
at something totally different than their current job
to attract money but it's just not true. I know a man 
named Jerry who loved his job at the hospital in
Taos, New Mexico. Because he'd struggled with
post traumatic stress in the past and had gone 
through training to counsel others, he soon became
a post traumatic stress consultant to the hospital
staff members. He quickly realized the need for
knowledgeable people to help medical human
resource departments deal with this issue. Jerry
has retired from his normal floor duties and now
gives seminars all across the state to medical 
organizations and conferences on how to cope
with post traumatic stress on the job. He also is
working on an informational seminar. It will be
available online soon for other hospital 
administrators. They will then be able to learn
what they should do when faced with individuals
suffering from post traumatic stress. 

Both of these examples meet most of the 
requirements for great sources of income.
And they keep producing, capitalizing on
the Internet.

Step 6: Think Like an Entrepreneur 



THE INTERNET IS YOUR FRIEND 

Many people know me from my appearance as the
star of the movie, The Secret , but few really know
that I started my career as an Internet marketer. 
Back in 1995 I wrote one of the few Internet
marketing books that existed. In fact I wrote
several books on general marketing as well. So 
believe me I know the power of the Internet. I
also know that it can give you enough business
to change your life. 

The Internet is really unique because it's used by
almost every person living in developed 
countries around the world. It's easy to access,
costs little, and can put you in touch with
customers all over the world. It gives you the
opportunity to start small and then grow your 
business. You can have a business in conjunct-
ion with your day job while building your 
income. Doing business online also gives you
the option of spending more time with your 
children and family. For this reason alone, many 
people with small children choose to pursue this 
avenue. 

The ability to do keyword searches on Google can
also give you valuable information on what people
are really interested in. This is more difficult if 
you're starting another type of business. But online
information for Internet businesses is readily 
available. The range and type of opportunity on 
the Internet is vast, allowing you to match your 
passion and what you enjoy doing with what is 
available. Many of these opportunities are non-
traditional. I know a stay-at-home mom who loves
to play poker. She plays online and now has a very 
successful poker blog.She contributes online poker 
articles to one of the major poker Internet sites and 
gets numerous paid trips to Las Vegas to cover 
high-level poker events. Now this is a soccer mom
from Dallas who has no interest in moving her 
children to Las Vegas or living a gambling lifestyle
, but she can still make money off her world-class
skill right from home. None of the opportunities 
she enjoys were an option as recent as 10 years 
ago. New and different options are surfacing every
-day. You can take advantage of them, as long as
you're open to the possibilities. 

Most people have at least one or two things in
their lives that they're deeply passionate about.
Perhaps it's cooking or pets. Maybe it is gardening
or writing. If you have a true passion for some-
thing, it's well worth your time to try to investigate
the online opportunities and see if you can turn 
that passion and talent into some additional 
income - or perhaps a new career. 



https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/financial-rewards 93 



ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 


You've heard me mention my blog several times. 
Blogs are free and if you develop a following, 
advertisers will want to pay you to place their 
ads on your website. This is probably the 
number one way that bloggers make money on 
the Internet. Now blogging takes discipline as
well as the ability to communicate. So if these
are qualities you possess, then it might suit you.
Once you start looking you can find blogs on
any subject and you can write one on anything.
I encourage you to write about something 
interesting that helps people. These attract the 
most readers. You may help people grow home
gardens, fix up their home, eliminate their debt 
and become financially secure, or whatever 
else fits your passion. Just be sure you can post
at least a couple of times every week or even
every day. 

Another area that has really taken off on the 
Internet is virtual learning. This doesn't neces-
sarily mean formal education. People take on
-line classes to learn everything from English
to novel writing. All you need is to be 
passionate and knowledgeable and you can 
turn that into an online course. I invented the
e-class way back in the late 1990s. Lessons 
and lectures can be sent each week to students
who may return their homework via email. 
Many people who used to teach classes in 
seminar or classroom setting have moved to the
Internet as it offers low overhead and you can
maintain larger numbers of students from all 
over the world. There aren't any geographical
limitations. Tutoring can also be lucrative in
the online realm and many school-teachers 
use this avenue to enhance their teaching
income during the school year and then add
income during the summer. 

Since the introduction of YouTube, online videos
have exploded. Now many businesses and even
authors are using videos to sell their product. If
you have the skills to create and edit these types
of videos, there are numerous opportunities 
online. I know of a young couple (he was a
television news producer and she was a school
teacher), and when their daughter was born, they
decided that it would be more practical for him
to quit his job and stay home to produce sales and
training videos for businesses. Now he earns 
more than he did working 70 hours per week at
the television station and he gets to enjoy seeing
their daughter grow. 

Even teenagers these days have significant video 
production skills. So don't think that age is a 
limitation. This holds true for any online 
business. Your customers have no clue if you're
19 or even 85, so there aren't any preconceived
notions. You are treated as a professional as 
long as you act like one. So use that to your 
advantage. 



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


Step 6: Think Like an Entrepreneur 


One area that almost needs its own category is 
eBay. Thousands of people use online auctions
to generate additional income. You can sell 
items lying around your house or you may 
purchase items in bulk and auction them off. 
You can even have one of their online store-
fronts that generate orders. These are 
extremely simple to set up and maintain. 
There is a lady named Maureen who got into
this line of business. She was trying to sell off
items from her aunt's estate. It went so well, 
she now advertises in her local newspaper to
buy whole estates and then sell the items online. 

There's really no excuse for not investigating the
various possibilities you have to earn additional
income from the Internet. While it's not the only
way it is certainly one of the easiest and most
inexpensive ways to get one of your streams of
income. This will allow you to start attracting
money immediately. 

Remember, the sixth step to attract money now is
to think like an entrepreneur. Anyone can learn to 
do this.When I was starting out as a writer, I didn't
have a clue how to think like that. I was also broke.
As I learned to see and act on opportunities every-
where, my happiness and income grew by leaps 
and bounds. 

We have one more step for attracting money 
now. If you're ready, just turn the page.

ATTRACT MONEY NOW {STEP 3} PROSPEROUS SPENDING

{STEP 3} 

PROSPEROUS SPENDING 

Whoever said money can't buy happiness 
simply didn't know where to go shopping. 

- BO DEREK 


MANY PEOPLE DISCUSS the scarcity mindset. 
It really became popular after Steven Covey 
published his book, The 7 Habits of Highly 
Effective People. Some people think a scarcity 
mindset is the awareness of what we don't have in 
our lives, like it's a static force: I don't have a 
nice car, I don't have a nice house, I don't have 
money It sounds like a statement of fact. But it's 
only a litany of limiting beliefs. 

A scarcity mindset is an active ongoing force in 
your life.When you focus on what you don't have, 
don't want, and don't take pleasure in - all you 
get is more lack in your life. This is the gap in 
understanding. In order to get to where you want
to be financially, you must understand where 
you are. Shifting your focus to where you want 
to be, rather than focusing on what you don't 
have, shifts you out of the scarcity mindset into 
receiving mode. 

Do you have friends or family members who 
constantly talk about every bad or negative thing 
that happens to them each day - right down to 
the most insignificant event you can imagine? 
have. They talk about how bad their jobs are,
how they can never get ahead, how the country 
is in a downward spiral, how the cost of gas, 
lemons, or anything else is running or ruining 
their life. They also make a point to tell you how
no plan or program ever works for them and how
they don't have time to even look at doing 
something different because it supposedly won't
work anyway. I find these people frustrating. I 
try to help these people and they slam the door 
in my face. 

Remember, your lack of money, love, health, 
wealth and happiness comes directly from your 
mindset.

ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 



Not too long ago, a friend told me the story about 
a girl named Alicia. She was in her late 30s and 
had never been married. Alicia desperately 
wanted to find a mate and have a family. She 
constantly bent all her friends' ears about how she 
couldn't seem to meet anyone or find the right 
person. Any advice they offered was pushed aside 
with a quick, "Tried it, didn't work." 

Alicia worked in a large bank as the HR manager 
and was constantly meeting eligible men - but she 
didn't even glance at them. She was so focused on 
the supposed fact that she couldn't meet anyone, 
that she didn't allow herself to see the 
opportunities right in front of her. If she had 
shifted her mindset to "I'm going to meet a great 
person that I can share my life with," instead of on
her loneliness and desperation, she could easily 
have been married and had a family. But these 
are the roadblocks we place for ourselves. 

We develop our "financial" mindsets from those 
around us. If those around us are negative, then 
we grow up with a negative mindset around 
money. When you think back to your childhood, 
you probably didn't have a lot of money worries. 
Most of us had food, clothes, toys and the basic 
items we needed. At the same time, we also 
heard adults discussing money and their beliefs
about their finances. 

I don't know about you, but all I remember 
hearing from my parents were the negatives. Even 
when things were going well, my parents always 
argued about money. If we had it, someone was 
misspending it. If we didn't have it, then there 
was no way the bills were going to get paid. Of
course a lot of what my parents believed about 
money came true as they were attracting what 
they were focusing on - lack. I remember the 
embarrassment of being told to only use two 
sheets of toilet paper because it was expensive! 

Our normal life was one of lack. What was most 
astounding was that we still experienced lack 
even while my father was employed and we 
were living within our means. 

People will often come to me confused, 
wondering how two households with similar 
incomes, can have vastly different experiences. 
One household never seems to have money,while 
the other goes on vacations, buys new things and 
seems much less stressed. Contrary to popular 
thought,there isn't a special kind of math going on 
here. It's simply a difference in how they think 
about money. Therefore, they get different results. 

Your financial situation, good or bad, is a direct 
reflection of what's going on in your mind. It's not 
a situation created by outside influences, 


52  http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/ 



{Step 3: Prosperous Spending} 



the economy, your parents or anyone else. You
are responsible for your own thoughts. And 
those thoughts produce your results. It's easy to 
look at the result and think, "Well that's the 
problem." How many times have you looked at 
a pile of bills and thought, "I need more money. 
If I had money,these problems would disappear?" 
This is a lie. Even if you doubled your income, 
you would still feel a sense of lack. And as a 
result, your bills would continue to eat up all 
your money. You would merely live at a higher 
level.That's how someone earning $250,000 per 
year can get overdrawn at the bank just easily as 
someone earning $20,000 per year. This is also 
why some people win millions of dollars in the 
lotto/BigSweep, and are in debt a year later. 
Their mind couldn't handle the sudden wealth. 
They have not used the seven steps I'm teaching 
you. They are not comfortable with money. 

SIMPLE IT'S NOT 

It sounds so simple to convey the idea: change 
your mindset and you'll attract money. And we all
know it's not quite that easy. When you are in the 
throes of financial ruin, trying to focus on any-
thing but the wolf at the door, it can be hard to 
maintain your focus. Yes you need to change your 
inner thoughts and beliefs around money, but it's 
a process, not a quickie solution, though it could 
happen in an instant. 

There's no denying that a lack of money is just 
the symptom of a bigger disease. And you can 
search for a cure and refuse to treat the 
symptoms. You must do both at the same time 
- deal with today's issues while doing the inner 
work to over-come your own roadblocks. The 
change has to be permanent to stop "lack" in 
your life. 

You need to take positive steps and deal with the 
reality of your financial crisis.Take small steps to 
deal with your debt, while learning these new 
ideas and concepts that will prevent scarcity in 
the future. Face up to what you need to do and 
face it without fear. You must think and act 
positively to receive positive results. 

This means being action-oriented. You can't just 
sit there thinking positive thoughts without 
DOING anything to turn around your finances. 
You must take immediate inspired action, and 
come up with a new plan and work it. This means 
that as your mindset shifts to goal setting and 
positive thoughts, you are seeking to dig yourself 
out of the pit. This isn't a magic formula; it's 
practical advice with no nonsense. Don't kid 
yourself into believing that you will be successful 



  http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/  53 



ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 


and attract money if you don't take care of the 
perceived mess you're in now. 

It's been my experience that there are three 
different types of people when it comes to money 
There is a small percentage of individuals on the 
verge of financial ruin, where desperation, panic 
and fear are real. I would call these people 
financially disempowered. They are faced with 
such difficult choices and realities that it may 
seem hopeless. I've been in their shoes before and
can say that it is not hopeless - but it does require
a significant commitment to improve your life. I 
was tempted to give up and quit many times. You
have to make the decision never to give up. It's 
not an option. 

The next group of people is the financially 
empowered. They attract money with seemingly
little effort, and aren't bothered by external 
financial concerns. They will always be able to 
generate money. 

Between the financially disempowered and 
empowered, there is a huge expanse of the 
population. These people are somewhere in 
between the two extremes and are the most 
susceptible to fear. They are the ones who are 
doing okay, or getting by - perhaps even living 
reasonably well - and they still worry that it all 
could crumble. They don't seem to have enough 
money to live the life they really want to live. 
Still, they see occasional glimpses of how great
their life could be. 

Interestingly enough, this last group is the one 
that struggles the most and lives with a mindset of
scarcity. You would think that those near 
financial ruin would top the list, but when you 
are on the bottom, the only way you can go is up.
This means you don't have as much fear of loss.
It is this fear of loss that keeps people in jobs
they hate or working for someone else rather than 
pursuing their own dream. The fear of losing what
little they have constantly trumps the possibility 
of a better life. 

You may be someone (or know someone) who 
constantly says, "I can't afford it." It doesn't 
matter what it is or what it costs; that's their mind
-set. A lot of it comes from the media. You may 
listen to the media - television, newspapers, 
online reports. This is a HUGE mistake. All they 
do is focus on bad news, which is not reality. 

When I went to Kent State University in the 
1970s, I studied to be a reporter. I took many 
journalism courses. Unfortunately, all they did 
was teach that good news is no news. When 
someone gets a new job or helps an old lady 
across the street, this isn't news. On the other 
hand, if there's a murder, theft, or swindling, 
that's news. 



54 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/ 



{Step 3: Prosperous Spending}



As far as the media is concerned, bad news sells - 
so that's what they focus on. Each and every time
you watch the news you're giving yourself a huge
dose of negative ideas. You are being 
programmed and your fear mindset is being 
created.There's war, famine, financial crisis - oh 
my, the sky is falling! Then you spend time 
around others who watch the same negativity and
it creates a cycle of fear. That fear, real or 
media-induced, encourages you to be fearful and
hoard your money in the face of crisis. This 
keeps untold millions of people trapped working 
hard for someone else and fearing that it will 
never be enough. 

The good news is that this doesn't have to be you.
Turn off the mainstream news, quit listening to 
the negative people in your life and keep reading
this book. I'm about to tell you one of the 
greatest secrets to attract money now. 

LEARNING TO SPEND 

Money is just as much about spending as 
receiving. Prosperous spending, or prosperous 
purchasing, is the third step to attracting money. 
It's a phrase I coined to describe a step in the 
attract money now process that few know about.
Yet it works like magic. 

Remember that money must circulate.You spend
money every day, but you have to ask yourself - 
do you spend it fearfully or joyfully? I'm not 
talking about going out and running up debt or 
spending money on a whim. Do you joyfully 
spend your money to enhance your life? If you 
have the money to buy something that will 
enhance your life and give you joy, you should 
do it. 

One of the biggest paradigms that people carry 
over from their parents is the idea that spending
on yourself is extravagant and they feel guilty 
about it. Recognize this mindset for what it is - 
scarcity.You live life once and if you never enjoy
your days, fearful that you might need those extra
dollars, then you will be disappointed at the end 
of your life. By little things I don't mean you have
to go out and purchase a new car or home - unless
this is your dream and you have the money to buy
it. 

Gerry, a millionaire, recently shared a story with 
me. He told me about the day that he finally 
understood the idea of prosperous spending. It 
happened in the grocery store. Gerry grew up 
without much money and his mother had always 
stretched the food budget. One day Gerry's wife 
asked him to stop and pick up a few things on 
the way home. 


 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/  55 


ATTRACT MONEY NOW 

While shopping in the produce aisle,Gerry spotted
some red bell peppers. He loved red bell peppers
and put a couple in his cart. After a few minutes, 
he felt guilty,and turned around to put them
back. At that moment it suddenly struck him that
he was denying himself something he really 
enjoyed because of this belief he'd gotten from
his mother - the belief that he needed to stretch 
the food budget. He was a millionaire who 
could've purchased a whole field full of red bell
peppers! He said he bought eight and enjoyed 
every one. 

We deny ourselves the smallest comfort or 
pleasure; even if it only costs a few dollars. 
This is not prosperous spending. Prosperity says 
you can have red bell peppers instead of green, 
rib eyes instead of sirloin, and romaine instead of
iceberg. It's not about spending everything you 
make, but enjoying what you do spend, without 
feeling guilty about it. You want to feel good, 
positive and excited about your life even if you 
aren't where you want to be just yet. You still 
deserve to enjoy yourself and be happy. The 
positive feelings and emotions that prosperous 
spending brings is what attracts more positive 
things into your life. 

When great things happen to me I like to reward 
myself. It is like saying "Job well done."It makes 
me feel great too. You should always reward your
-self. When you reach a goal you've been striving 
for,purchase something nice for yourself or spend
the day at the spa if that's what you like. Or take
a weekend and go fishing at your favorite secret
spot. Rewards don't have to involve large 
amounts of money - but they should generate 
large amounts of positive feelings and emotions. 

A few years back I was speaking at a trade show.
I had my own booth where I sold my books and 
programs. I was supposed to be there for four 
days. Each day after my sessions, people kept 
flooding my booth wanting to buy my materials.
Within two days I was completely sold out. I was
excited and happy that so many people got my
message and understood what I was trying to 
convey. I decided to reward myself with a good 
cigar. 

Now, I'm not a cigar aficionado by any stretch
of the imagination, but I'm learning. I walked 
into a cigar shop looking for a reward and found 
some amazing lighters. I'm not an expert on 
lighters, either. Still, I wanted one. The lighter 
was a perfect reward because every time I'd open
it, I would remember this day and my success at
the trade show. 

I didn't want a disposable or cheap metal lighter.
I wanted one that said I'd done well and 
succeeded. So I asked the guy at the store, 



56 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/ 



{Step 3: Prosperous Spending}



"If Donald Trump walked in here, what kind of 
cigar lighter would you sell him? That's the one I 
want to see." So the guy walked over, unlocked a 
special case and pulled out a tray of gorgeous 
lighters. One really caught my eye. It was a 
dazzling gold Dupont lighter. It looked like 
success feels - bright, shiny and valuable. He 
took the lighter and opened the lid. I heard a 
'ping' sound. He said,"That is the ping of status." 

It was perfect! 

But it cost $700. 

Seven hundred dollars! 

For a lighter? 

I bought it and felt fantastic. 

The next day I was telling some people about the
lighter and there was one person who was 
absolutely disgusted. He said, "Why did you 
spend that kind of money on a lighter when you
can get matches for free? Nobody needs a $700 
lighter." 

He's right. I don't need one, but "need" isn't the 
point. Another man who was there said, "I know
exactly why you bought that lighter. You anchored
in your success with emotion. You wanted to 
reward yourself for accomplishing your goal. 
You should have bought the lighter and felt great 
about it." And I did. 

This doesn't mean you should go out and buy a 
$ 700 lighter. It means you should spend your 
money out of joy, not fear. You should reward 
yourself for meeting goals and making progress. 
You should generate as much positive emotion 
as possible with what you have. 

The joy of spending your money is tied to giving
- even to yourself. You are letting go of those 
emotions of guilt and fear, and giving yourself 
permission to enjoy your life as you also work to 
improve it. 

But when you give or spend, there will be times 
when your old beliefs rear their ugly heads.You'll
question what you're doing. You'll question me. 
That's normal. Change is a process, and once you
accept that, you may even laugh at the silly things
you do or say that have nothing to do with 
prosperity. And that's okay. In fact, it's a great 
way to take little setbacks and use them to move 
forward faster because it's positive emotional 
reinforcement. I've collected numerous little 
stories from people over the years regarding the
moment they realize they were not in a 
prosperity mindset. 
See if a few of these sound familiar: 



 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/  57 



 { ATTRACT MONEY NOW


• I went to the movies, got popcorn, but left off 
the butter because it was an extra $.50.Two hours
of dry popcorn to save $.50? 

• Refused to pay $6 to wash my car. Did it my-
self and was sick for two days with sunburn. 

• I built a house and decided to save some money
on utilities by not living in it. Smart, huh? I spent
the summer in a RV on the property with my 
husband, a five year old and two dogs. No 
amount of savings was worth that long miserable
summer! 

• My dad comes to visit and refuses to use the 
new towels in the guest bathroom. I got irritated
with him until I realized I never use the 'good' 
towels either. So I threw out all the old ones and
bought some fluffy new ones that were just for 
me. Who wants to dry off everyday with sand-
paper? 

• We used to go out to this fancy ocean side sea-
food restaurant once a month. The two of us 
loved the sea air and atmosphere but felt that it 
was too nice for more frequent visits. It's not that 
we couldn't afford it, we just didn't go and denied
ourselves of something we loved. 

We have all done things completely out of habit
that seem almost ridiculous when viewed with a
prosperity mindset. There will be many times
when you may ask, "What was I thinking?" 
Truthfully, you weren't. You were on autopilot 
allowing all your accumulated beliefs to direct
your actions. This is why it can be challenging 
to change those beliefs. They're deeply ingrained
in your mindset and it takes awareness, attention
and action to remove them. This awareness will
allow you to catch yourself at times when you do
or say something that reveals one of these limit-
ing beliefs. A great way to become more aware
is to listen and observe the actions of others. 

Have you ever been in a mall for a few hours, 
listening to the people around you? The conver-
sations and actions are revealing. I take a note 
pad and write down how many positive and 
negative statements I hear. I'm warning you now
to make plenty of room on the negative side! 
The amount of negative statements will amaze 
you. People don't even realize how their words 
and phrases sound or how revealing they really 
are. I also make a column on my notepad called 
the "I can't afford it" column. I hear this one all 
the time. You should say, "How can I afford?"



58 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/ 



{Step 3: Prosperous Spending



As you learn more about circulating money,you'll 
eventually learn to balance receiving and spending
so that both are positive influences in your life. 
They will keep the stream of cash flowing and 
increasing over time. Once you understand these 
concepts you can start investigating the ideas, 
products or businesses that will get you there. 
But until you do this work on yourself,you'll be
marginally successful at best. When you have the
positive prosperity mindset, then almost anything
you decide to pursue will succeed. 

The whole idea of attracting money is to enjoy 
your life. But you don't have to wait for money to
start rolling in to feel joyful. Make the decision to
pay attention to what you spend money on and the
attitude you possess when doing so. Choose to 
add things to your life that give you good positive 
feelings, while you're working on your goals. 
When you attain your goals, reward yourself. 
You deserve it. 

If you've been following my career, you know 
over the last few years I've been attracting a car 
collection. Not a collection on the scale of Jay 
Leno or Jerry Seinfeld, but good enough to get 
into magazines such as Heavy Hitters and Austin 
Fit, and on TV shows like Discovery Channel's 
upcoming new one on Super Cars. 

The other thing you may or may not know is that
I rarely go seeking these cars. They come to me. 
I'm just alert enough to seize the moment when 
the car is there. I say "Yes!" to them. And that is 
a secret to how the Law of Attraction works. 

For example, I knew Patrick Dempsey (of TV's 
Grey's Anatomy and many movies, such as 
Freedom Writers) had a Panoz exotic sports 
car because I've been to the Panoz factory,met the
Panoz family, and heard his story. I also own 
Francine, a 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM, a fiery 
redhead of a car. 

Dempsey's car was custom built for him in 2002, 
with every street -rocket perk you could install at 
the time. He's a race car fan and driver, and 
knows what he wants in a barely street-legal 
exotic car. Panoz listened and built what he 
wanted. The result is a one-of-a-kind car. It's a 
supercharged V8 with 420 HP. Like my own 
Francine, it's an Esperante GTLM. In fact, 
according to the Panoz Auto Development 
Company, it was the first Esperante ever built. It 
was named Tallulah, after Dempsey's daughter. 

I remember thinking it would be cool to somehow
buy his car one day. But I didn't worry about it. I 
mentally set my intention and let it go. I had no 
attachment to it at all. None. 



 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/  59 



ATTRACT MONEY NOW 


Then one day I got my daily eBay alerts for the 
topics I'm interested in (such as Panoz, P.T 
Barnum, Steve Reeves, Joe Vitale, John Scarne, 
Bugatti Veyron, etc). To my surprise, Patrick 
Dempsey's hand-made one-of-kind Panoz sports 
car was listed for sale. Please note that I did not 
go looking for that car. I let it come to me. But 
when it did, I took action and bid on it. I now 
own it. 

The same thing happened when I stumbled across
Steven Tyler's rare Panoz AIV Roadster. I'm of 
course aware of the Aerosmith singer, but never 
thought I'd actually find or buy his collectible car.
Well, I did. 

And almost the very same thing happened when 
I learned that the 1976 Jaguar XJS owned by 
famous bodybuilder and actor Steve Reeves 
(Hercules) was available.It wasn't listed on eBay,
but I found it while browsing a website about 
Reeves. I couldn't believe it was for sale. I 
bought it for a fair price, invested a lot of money 
to repair and restore it, and now proudly own it. 

But remember, this isn't about buying or 
collecting cars; it's about attracting what you 
want with intent, detachment, and action. 
In fact, the more detached you are, the better for
attracting results. 

For example, when I was in San Diego last 
September for my Miracles Weekend event, I 
went to a luxury car dealership to see a Bugatti 
Veyron, probably the fastest and most expensive 
car yet made. I loved the car but didn't want to 
spend over a million dollars for it. 

While there, I saw a 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom. 
I had no conscious intent to buy the Rolls, but did 
(and did on the day the stock market dropped the 
most number of points in recent history). As a 
result of spontaneously buying that car, with no 
need or attachment, I created a whole new 
business: the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mastermind . 
This is where two people pay me $5,000 each to 
have dinner with me and ride around in the car 
for an evening. Talk about feeling prosperous! 

Again, attracting a new car isn't the goal but only
the demonstration of how this process works. If 
you think this is about attracting cars or "stuff", 
then you've missed the point. 

I could rationalize my car purchases as invest-
ments in a private collection (they are), or as 
rewards for milestones in my life (I just spoke to
15,000 people in Peru), or explain that I intend to
turn Dempsey's car into a hydrogen-hybrid (by 
fitting it with Ronn Motors's H2GO system, like 
the one used in their amazing exotic sports car,
the Scorpion). 



60 http://www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/ 



{Step 3: Prosperous Spending



But the larger lesson is that these cars illustrate 
how the Law of Attraction (LOA) works. For you
it may not be attracting cars but something 
completely different. Like money. Attract what-
ever you want. It doesn't matter. It shouldn't 
matter. I'm challenging you to make the LOA 
process conscious - and to enjoy the ride as you
do. 

Finally I confess that I had doubts and second
thoughts before actually placing the winning bid
for Dempsey's car. That's the nature of our 
monkey mind. But then I remembered a key 
principle in my course, The Secret to Attracting 
Money . It's the principle I coined "Prosperous 
Purchasing." 

Prosperous Purchasing means this: when the 
product or service is there, and your desire is 
there, and the money is there, then buy. 

Why? 

When you buy under those circumstances — 
please note I'm specifically not advising you to 
go into debt or spend recklessly — you send a 
psychological message of self-worth to yourself,
and you join the abundant flow of the universe. 

In short, spending under those conditions will 
increase your prosperity. 

Because I now own Patrick Dempsey's sports car 
— due to the Law of Attraction, the Law of Right 
Action, and the Law of Prosperous Purchasing 
— I expect to achieve even greater wealth,
success, and happiness. And that's yet another 
secret to attracting what you want: your 
expectations lead to your results. As the title of 
my most recent book says, Expect Miracles . 

Before I end this chapter, I want to say something
to all the ladies reading this book. For some 
reason you have a harder time buying things for 
yourself than men do. In general, you are likely 
mothering and nurturing to everyone but yourself. 
Always love, appreciate and mother yourself. 
While your natural inclination is to take care of 
others, you will be better at doing that if you also 
take care of yourself. In other words, mother your
-self as well as those you love. When you go to 
buy a gift for a child, remember to also buy 
something for yourself. Again, just remember to 
take time to honor yourself. 

Remember, the third step - "Prosperous
 Spending." 

Now on to step four.

ATTRACT MONEY NOW  



STEP 3: PROSPEROUS SPENDING .

TRUTHS & TAKE AWAYS 

A scarcity mindset is an active ongoing force in 
your life. When you focus on what you don't 
have, don't want, and don't take pleasure in - all
you get is more lack in your life. 

We develop our financial mindsets from those 
around us. If the people around us are negative, 
then we grow up with a negative mindset. This 
must be overcome before we can receive. 

Face up to what you need to do and face it with-
out fear. You must think positively and act 
positively to receive positive results. 

Money is just as much about spending as 
receiving. Prosperous spending is the third step 
to attracting money. 

The positive feelings and emotions that 
prosperous spending brings are what attracts more
positive things into your life. 

Let go of guilt and fear and give yourself 
permission to enjoy your life while improving it.
