Day 47 – Want to attract more money?
Apr 3rd
This is soooo easy….
“Make lists of the things you will buy with the money. Surround yourself with pictures of the things you would like and always feel the feeling of having those things now. Imagine sharing those things with the ones you love and imagine their happiness.
Now you’re creating!”
That’s simple and easy. Now all you need to do is DO IT

Day 19 – Want more money?
Mar 8th
Today’s lesson talks about how to attract money in your life, but the principle can be applied to anything you want.
You first have to give it away!
The lesson says
“…take ten percent of what you receive and give it away”.
WOW… I can remember times when that sounded strange to me… “Give it away?” – I can hardly pay my bills… and I’m supposed to give it away?
The lesson says
“it is the greatest action you can take to bring more money in your life”
GREATEST?
I did a bit of digging as to why tithing works.. and found this interesting article at forbes.com
“… Another enthusiastic tither is Greg Gianforte, the founder, chairman and CEO of RightNow Technologies. Gianforte started this Web services company in 1997 in the spare bedroom of his Bozeman, Mont. home and has grown it to $40 million in sales. RightNow went public on NASDAQ last year, becoming Montana’s first tech startup to do so.
Gianforte is quick to say that tithing is a duty of his faith. One must never tithe with expectations of divine reward. But, funny, Gianforte says, now that you mention it, tithing has brought these benefits:
“The decibel level in my life has gone down. I think that’s because every possession speaks to you. Everything you own wants attention. When I began to tithe, I found a freedom from my possessions. I don’t hold on to things as tightly anymore.”
“When you loosen your grip on possessions, you become more willing to take a chance. Entrepreneurial risk is less terrifying.”
“Tithing requires discipline, but that discipline begins to show up unexpectedly in other areas of my life. When I began to tithe, I was able to rise earlier in the morning. I am more patient with people.”
“Tithing puts you in touch with people’s needs. This is an excellent habit to acquire in business. I guarantee you, if you want to build a company, you have to be in touch with customers’ needs.”
At this point I recalled a chat I once had with Gianforte while researching my book, Life 2.0. When Gianforte started RightNow, the first thing he did, with no employees and no product to sell, was print up a data sheet and mail it to the heads of customer service at hundreds of large companies. Then he got on the phone and asked his would-be customers what they liked and didn’t like about the data sheet. By listening to their needs, Gianforte was cleverly combining R&D and selling–on the cheap.
I bring this up, and Gianforte laughs.
“When you tithe, you begin to see your role as a steward of resources. You don’t engage in wasteful spending. You learn to become a bootstrapper.”
Cool!
As for myself, I used to support World Vision and help children around the world, and from time to time, I have helped charities and causes, but I have never done 10%
I think it’s time to do so 
Take care!
