What if there was one book that held The Answer for you to grow your business, and that would allow you to achieve financial friedom and live an extraordinary Life?
John Assaraf is the man in The Secret movie who was talking with his son about how he created a vision board years earlier with pictures of things on it that he wished to manifest in his life.
Assaraf had packed the vision board away and not looked at it for years.
In the movie The Secret Assaraf unpacks the vision board and sees a picture of a house displayed on it.
Then Assaraf has tears in his eyes as he explains to his son that he is happy because he realized that the home that they now are living in is the exact home that was displayed on his vision board.
Assaraf has tears of joy in his eyes because he realized at that point that the years of positive affirmations,visualizing and the use of the vision board worked!
The odds of this happening were too astronomical for this to have happened by mere chance.
Assaraf made it his life quest to find The Answer how to best use The Law of Attraction and to share The Answer with the world.
In The Answer, Assaraf explains the scientific reasons why the vision board allowed him to manifest the exact house that was displayed on his vision board.
John Assaraf and Murray Smith are not all about theory either.
Assaraf has built four multimillion dollar companies and Murray Smith is a business growth expert and he has launched or revived 13 successful businesses.
Assaraf and Smith together run "One Coach" - the world's fastest growing franchisor of small business growth services.
What sets The Answer head and shoulders above all of the other books written by teachers of The Secret is that there is much more focus on action steps that may be taken to achieve your goals.
Assaraf and Smith combine the use of positive affirmations, vision boards, visualization, meditation and neural reconditioning to help speed you to success.
I give The Answer a rating of five out of five jalepenos.
“Every thought we think is creating our future.”
-Louise Hay, Author,Publisher
Louise Hay is a living example of the power of The Law of Attraction and positive affirmations at work.
Today Hay frequents the Oprah show (she was on Oprah last Friday 6/28/08), drives a Rolls Royce and she is the owner of Hay House Publishing that publishes Law of Attraction and Personal Development books and audio books by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra as well as Hay’s own best selling books.
However, Hay did not start out only attracting positive things into her life.
In an interview with Mark Oppenheimer of The New York Times (May 2008) Louise Hay shared that she was born to a poor mother and a violent step father.
At age five Hay was raped by a neighbor.
At 15 Hay dropped out of high school without graduating and worked at menial jobs for years before becoming a fashion model.
Hay later married businessman Andrew Hay but 14 years later Hay was devastated when her husband left her for another woman.
When Hay was in her 50’s she became a Religious Science practitioner and she read a book entitled “The Game of Life and How to Play It” by Florence Scovel Shinn.
Hay credits “The Game of Life and How To Play It” and the works of Ernest Holmes for changing her life for the better.
The Game of Life is a classic law of attraction book filled with positive phrases and affirmations on how you can create your own path in life by changing your thoughts and attitude towards life.
You can download your free copy of “The Game of Life and How to Play” It by going to the following link: The Game of Life Free Download
Hay claims that she used positive affirmations to heal herself of cancer in the 1970’s.
In case the Secret Law of Attraction does not seem to be working in your life you may want to check out Louise Hay's the many excellent law of attraction books and audio’s and video available from Hay House Publishing.
Please check out the video below where Louise Hay tells about how her life was improved with positive affirmations and the law of attraction.

Whether you realize it or not your ability to persuade others in life will directly affect your bank account, social status and the way that others view you.
Persuasion is often viewed as a dirty word but your success in life and your very survival depend on your ability to persuade others.
Robert Cialdini is probably the most cited persuasion expert in the world.
Professor Cialdini's scientific findings have been applied by marketing and persuasion experts such as Yanik Silver, Kevin Hogan and Dave Lakhani to name just a few.
The chapters in Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive are short but have very interesting titles such as:
Does fear persuade or paralyze?
Which office item can make your influence stick?
Start Low or High Which Will Make People Buy?
How can you become a Jedi master of persuasion?
One of the interesting things about the stories and study results in this book is how you may be able to drastically change your ability to persuade others to do as you want by changing as little as one word in a conversation or advertisement.
Whats even better is that many of the suggestions in this book will cost you little or nothing to implement.
For example – One chapter entitled “How Can Inconveniencing Your Audience Increase Your Persuasiveness” tells the story of how a legendary marketing expert changed a phrase at the end of a segment on a home shopping channel. Instead of saying the familiar phrase “operators waiting please call now”….the line was changed to “if operators are busy please call again.”
Notice the difference in the preceding two statements…the first statement implies that the operators are sitting there doing nothing…the second statement gives you the feeling that the product is so hot that you have to call back in order to get through to purchase it.
As a result the product quickly sold out.
This is just one of fifty examples of how by just changing a few words you can drastically increase your ability to persuade others.
Whether you want to become better at persuading your employees to comply with rules or convince your kids to do their homework or sell more goods at your website, place of business or eBay auction you must read Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive
I give this book five out of a possible five jalapeños because it is well written, entertaining and filled with many useful ideas that you can implement now to be more successful in your business and personal life.
To Your Success,

"Byron Katie's The Work . . . acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.”Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now
Byron Katie is coming to Oprah's Soul Series Webcast on August 11, 2008 to share "The Work" and to reveal to you how to end your pain and suffering.
If you are a fan of Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's New Earth or The Sedona Method you won't want to miss this webinar.
Byron Katie states that she woke up to reality one morning in 1986 after years of mental torment and depression.
After Byron Katie' awakening she developed four questions that will help you to end your suffering:
1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it's true?
3. How do you react when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?
5. Turn it around. (this is a method for turning the question around to gain further insight and to let go of pain)
These four penetrating questions used together are what Byron Katie refers to as being "The Work"
Katie proposes that by focusing on a thought in the present moment and asking yourself the preceding questions you can free yourself of pain and suffering.
I will explain later what "Hootless" means but first may I ask you a favor?
Please think back to a time when you accomplished a major goal that you had set for yourself.
The goal itself does not matter as much as the fact that it was important to you at the time.
Maybe you wanted to graduate from school or buy a new car or home.
Or perhaps you wanted to find your soul mate.
My question to you is this: did you achieve your goal by struggling or with a lot of drama or did you attain your goal when you let go or quit struggling to achieve it?
While you are pondering that question. Please let me share a personal story with you.
Twenty years ago I was trying to break into the field of counseling.
In order to become a counselor it was required that I serve a practicum with an approved practicum provider.
Anyway, I had a list of about 12 clinics on my state approved practicum provider list.
I called each name on the list and got "no" after "no" when I asked if I could do my practicum hours at their clinic.
I heard all kinds of excuses as to why I could not volunteer my time free to complete a practicum at the clinics on my list.
There was only one clinic left on my list that had not given me a flat out NO.
I said a prayer to myself that went something like this: "Dear God if you want me to be a counselor please let me know, there is one name left on my list to call, if this does not pan out,then I am going to explore other careers, either way it is okay but please let me know,"
I had reached a state that Lester Levenson and Hale Dwoskin of The Sedona Method refer to as being "hootless".
I reached a point where I did not give a "hoot" one way or another if I achieved my goal.
I had become "hootless."
I wanted to be a counselor but I was ready to accept it if it did not pan out.
Contrary to what Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich, Oprah and all the other success guru's say, Levenson and Dwoskin believe that it is not strong desire, hard work, struggle or drama that help you to manifest your goals.
Levinson and Dwoskin propose that your goals are manifested faster when you let go, release, get clear, or reach an inner state of hootlessness (when you don't care one way or another about the result).
Anyway back to my story:
I dialed the number and the director of the clinic was in, he said that I was extremely lucky to have called when I did because the doctor who owns the clinic was in his office (this was a rare event) and ready to interview me for a practicum position right now!!!
To make a long story short:
Everything fell into place from that point on.
It was as if the walls crumbled and a red carpet was rolled out for me.
My destiny took a turn for the better in just a few seconds just by becoming hootless!
I have been working now as a counselor for twenty years!
I had not thought of this story until I learned about being "Hootless" from The Sedona Method Course.
Do you have any stories about how you achieved your goals by releasing, letting go, getting clear or becoming "hootless".
Please let us know if you have any stories about how becoming hootless has helped you to achieve your goals.
We would love to share your story with our readers.
