Heard about the 'law of attraction'? Now this seems to have become the Holy Grail in the MLM / home business world. After 10 YEARS of personal experience and 9 business attempts and using the principles of the "secret" for a decade (7 years without knowing and 3 years fully aware). I have come to the following real conclusion.
After 10 years of always believing it would be ok and watching hundreds of other people pinning all their financial hopes a so called law of attraction will deliver success I am left with only one conclusion to draw. There is, in my experience no connection between ones thoughts and a physical result.
None. Zip, Nadda! You see what we are being sold is a theory that by thinking and feeling something enough it will materialise.
Wrong!
My 10 years of experiences are mixed with great learning, hard work, huge belief and even when I did everything right it still failed. In fact my best friend, whom I taught a property strategy to, ended up with 3 houses and I lost £15k??
How?
Was I not thinking positively enough? Did I not believe it enough? My best friend's attitude is actually very wary and he was less than convinced it would work but work it did - for him.
Now this is just one of 9 different experiences that I can use plus hundreds of others from other people. So let's get to what's what. There is a law and it's not the law of attraction it's the law of averages. So if you continue to learn and grow and improve and develop and improve and grow and learn and try and try and try then you will at some point get some success. The law of averages says that when you do enough eventually something will work for you.
When? I Do not know.
But you need to be in action and the real secret is persistence on a huge scale. Even my favourite Internet marketer in the whole world has launched 78 internet businesses and 38 of them failed but they gave him huge lessons that led to improvements that led to success.
Now I could ramble on more and I probably will in the coming weeks but when I turned the corner and started to make real money was when I decided to learn, grow, develop, and persist. The secret is there is no secret and my sincere advice for anyone using this principle and thinking it will actually bring something to you is stop.
But you know something, the real unfortunate thing is when someone uses the "secret" and some success comes fast as they then wrongly believe it was the secret that did it for them!
Wrong again. How could this possibly be true unless "it" chooses who to deliver to. You see in order for this to be the ultimate truth it must work all the time for all who use it and it most certainly does not. "The Secret" does not choose who to deliver to just as "it" does not deliver anything.
For the few who have had the "coincidence" of success when they applied principles from the the law of attraction I have words of caution. To promote this way of thinking without action and persistence is playing with fire. I have a decade of real life experience to argue with even the most avid supporter of this new world cult (and it is a cult).
It is the action and growth and persistence that will deliver. I leave you with this thought. If we could just think and attract don't you think success would happen to everyone?
