How To Create Your Own Breakthrough

If you’ve followed my blog or my personal antics for any length of time, you’ll know last December, which is now almost one year ago, was the culmination of a very rough period for me financially.

However, like most, I made my bed, so I didn’t just lay in it, I wallered.

In July, I quit wallering around, feeling sorry for myself, beating myself up for all the crap I put my friends, family and clients through and realized the best way OUT of a calamity is to jerk your head up, outta the sand, pick my sorry a** up and get moving.

It was rough going the first few weeks. Hell, even the first few months. I didn’t know where to turn exactly. I kept having false starts. I was having a hard time getting my thoughts and actions in-sync, in-line where I wanted them to be.

I kept recalling what I heard from my friend Dan Kennedy many years ago when I first met him: “Whatever you do, DO NOT lose your momentum. It’s almost impossible to get it back.”

Well, going what I went through was evidently the surest way I could come up with to kill my momentum. It died for about 6 months. Thus the phrase, be careful what you wish for and, more importantly, be careful what you think ABOUT. You may very well manifest that which you don’t necessarily want.

Things really started changing for me, slowly at first, in late August (just a few months ago). I could feel an energy I had not in well over a year (financial ruin doesn’t happen, generally, all at once – it’s a painful, long, ugly process – or at least it was for me).

I picked up signs from others that a change was apparent, inevitable even. I could sense it was mine if I just put forth the energy to capture and harness it.

An example:

Two days ago, I told myself, “Dude, you need to have a finance company at your event coming up on December 3 & 4 in Salem. And, so far, you don’t have one, so today and tomorrow, let’s work together on that and change it. Let’s GET the vendor and GET a sponsor that is a finance company, at the event.”

This morning, I made two phone calls. In all of TEN MINUTES, I had a call back from the person I needed to hear from. I sent off an email to a very excited finance company rep. I’m willing to bet I’ll hear positive feedback from him in a day or two, and, will have in my hands on Monday or Tuesday, a signed agreement with a check for at least $1,500.

[NOTE: See how specific my inner conversations are? They are very detailed. YOURS should be, too.]

While at lunch today, I had my lottery ticket scanned. I won $126. Not bad. The problem was, I knew I was going to win, I did not doubt it, but I forgot to manifest my intentions after the thought of winning, as to HOW MUCH I was going to win. So…the someone else decided for me

Does this all make sense?

If it doesn’t you have to get Matt Furey’s book, The Unbeatable Man, since it was this book that was part and parcel responsible for getting my inner MOJO back on track and outta its funk. Matt’s also releasing a CD he recorded with my friend Lee Milteer, that you’ll ALSO want to get your hands on (it’s free with the book purchase).

YOU will be the one that creates your own breakthrough. No one will do it for you.

Here’s how:

I use a formula I concocted from reading many different books on this subject. Among them (you should order these and read them if you don’t have them from Amazon.com): Matt’s book, The 11th Element, It Works, Think and Grow Rich, Psycho-Cybernetics, Trump Never Give Up, and MANY many more.

Here’s my formula. I call it ITLAR:

I – Intention. Clearly describe, and in the theater of your mind (ala Dr. Maxwell Maltz), visualize what you want. See it. Tough it. Feel it. Smell it. SEE your present self immersed in it.

T – Thought. Every day, THINK about your Intention. Don’t just have a fleeting though, but close your eyes, and speak to your inner self. ADD EMOTION to your thoughts. It’s OK even to get hyped up about it. I do oftentimes, virtual yelling at myself to clear out any self-doubt. LOUDness can do that.

L – Let it go. Cast it out, and let the universe work it for you. Free your mind from the thought.

A – Action. Without specific action oriented to receive your Intention from the universe, just know it won’t happen. You have to support, not just emotionally and spiritually your Intention, but PHYSICALLY support it, too.

R – Results. This is the fun part. Results will begin to show. Sometimes, you’ll be like me and be far too dense to see your Intention was provided. That’s happened oh so many times. And, the more you use my ITLAR formula, the better you’ll get at it.

I’d love your thoughts, comments, reactions.

P.S. NO JOKE (you can even call and ask her): Melody just brought me a registration form for the event. I AM NOT KIDDING. It’s amazing how this all works…
