I never would have thought that I would have done a thing like this but I have, I watched something that was featured on Oprah (gasp!!). I opened my mind to the fact that other people might just know something that I don’t.

I watched The Secret and am in the process of reading (well, if listening to it counts) the book. Now if you know what the book/movie is about you will know the great power of the law of attraction but what really got me was that I knew all of the principals in the book/movie and actually got goosebumps while watching the movie! I have always known that if you think about what you want, you will get it. I have personal experiences in my life of this. I’m not going to get into the specifics because they sound a little to pompous for my liking but the law of attraction is how I got both my car and truck, and also how I have been hired at any job I have ever had.

I know how crazy it sounds to think something into existence (it still sounds crazy to me, even though I have seen the product of it) but if you actually take the principal to heart you will see results. All you have to do is think about what you want and that is what you will get. If you you think about what you don’t want, that is also what you will get (even if you are thinking about what you don’t want in a positive way, i.e. “I want to get out of debt”).

This is the principal behind this website as well. I simply know that this website will be a gateway to making money for me, whether the money comes from ads on the site or through something else, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that I can and will be able to make $15/hour 24/7 within a year. I basically expect that I will be wildly successful and therefore have started to believe it.

There are many names for The Secret; Law of attraction, autosuggestion, positive thinking, or just expecting things to happen, but they all have the same basic idea, that what you think about is what you will receive.

I strongly recommend watching the movie, reading the book, or better yet, both. If you don’t know about The Secret the principals of it will change you life (if you let them) for the better and if you do know what The Secret is all about, this will just reconfirm how powerful The Secret really is.

DISCLAIMER: I am not affiliated with anything to do with The Secret and do not, by any means, 100% blind faith believe everything in the book/movie. There are quite a few things that are a little too nutty for me to believe but for the most part I do believe in the principals (especially because I have seen examples in my own life) and have put into practice some of the things suggested in The Secret that I didn’t know.

If you want to have a large amount of money you need to do one very important thing: STOP WORKING FOR MONEY!! Now I know many of you are thinking, “He is going to tell me that I need to make my money work for me” but if you thought that you would be wrong. However, that is great advice and also one of the most important principals to acquiring unfathomable amounts of wealth, that is not the message I want to convey right now.

If you work for a set amount of money every hour, day, month, or even year there is a huge probability that you are missing out on ridiculous amounts of potential income. Why? you might ask. Well, it just happens to be your lucky day because I am about to tell you. If you work for, lets say an hourly wage, you will only ever make that amount of money for your time that you work. You may get a raise but you will still be limited to that amount of money per hour you work. There are some exceptions to this, as there always are, such as big CEOs like Steve Jobs or Ray R. Irani (respectively top 1 and 2 top paid CEOs) but, hey, if YOU can set how much you make at the beginning of the year in the hundreds of millions, you aren’t the one read a website about how to make money anyway.

This is where you brain comes in and you think about what you can do to create streams of passive income. There are the common types of passive income, such as stocks or mutual funds, but how many people can live off of what they make from their mutual funds? Not too many. I don’t even know how, yet, I will come up with $15/hour every hour of every day but I know that putting my thoughts out there for other people to read could be part of that process of not working for money.

(PS. If you have any ideas (good ideas!!) on how a person could achieve a goal of $15/hour every hour of every day please comment or send me an email so I can try it and tell everyone how, exactly, to do it for themselves.)

Recently I had some time to think and I have decided to take advantage of life more so than I have even realized life could be taken advantage of. I haven’t just realized this so much as made the decision that I HAVE to take advantage of life to it’s full potential. This may not be a big deal to some people and i know that if someone said this to me I would agree with the cliche but give it some thought. Seriously. You have to find ways to do the things you want to do because if you don’t, you will always be doing something that you don’t want to do. For example I want to do whatever, I want whenever and the only way to do that is to make a lot of money. The only way I can make that kind of money is to work for myself or own a business. Case and point, this site making money off of just the documentation of how I am making money.

Taking advantage of life also means being efficient with your time and resources. How many people that truly take advantage of life are wasteful? My guess is none. I hate waste more than pretty much anything. It’s is the most useless thing you can do.

In a matter of months I have gone from being a layabout, bum of a human to a person that doesn’t really spend any time doing nothing or things that don’t matter, because I absolutely NEED to take advantage of life. For goodness sake (did I just say that!?) you only get one!!

I had two teachers (more specifically one who has quite a thought provoking blog) in high school that liked to make their students think. I don’t mean any normal kind of thinking either, I mean the kind of thinking that makes your brain hurt. The kind of thinking that gave your head the feeling your back would have if you tried to lift a house. The kind of thinking that makes your thoughts have an end, just because your brain doesn’t know what to think next. They asked asked questions like:

• How do we know what we know?
• Can God really do anything? (i.e. Can God ,without changing the math system or our knowledge and understanding of it, make 2+2=5)
• What is the purpose or meaning of life?
• How do we know we exist? (How do we know aren’t just a head in jar or in the Matrix?)

I quite enjoy the questions that don’t and can’t have answers because I don’t like doing mindless things. Asking myself a question that doesn’t have an answer is like exercise for the mind, and who doesn’t like a little exercise. I also know that to be a good business person you need a good handle on thinking and the thought process. Put simply, if you are not good at thinking you will not be good at life. You can improve though, just like in anything else, (hint: it starts with a P and ends with RACTICE) you can actually improve how good you are at thinking. Reading, having deep discussions, and brainstorming are just a few ways to wake up your mind. So I encourage you to pick up a book and flex that brain muscle, it’s the only one you have and the only one that will make you rich.
