Money is coming easily to me!

Hiya

Now I am quite a postive person but I have a friend who is a big time positive thinker. I saw her yesterday and she told me that my problem was that I don't use the mantra 'money is coming easily to me?' Mmmmmm right says me! Anyway, to cut a long story short I thought what have I got to lose. So i'm making the tea saying this over in my head and the phone rings......a new client. Cool, but it has to be a coincidence.

Today I walk the dog and i'm saying the mantra.....another dog walker comes up to me...admirers my nail polish and books in for a treatment. This is getting spooky. I then go home and there's a message on my answer machine.....we've won first prize at a local school fair....£100.

Coincidence or what....I don't care coz it's been a good day!

    And luck increases when you put youself in the right situations:
    1. Obviously good at your job, and you are marketing yourself well.

    2. If you hadn't gone for a walk you'd never have met the dog walker. If you hadn't looked good you wouldn't have got a comment, let alone new business.

    3. OK, this was luck - but your chances increase exponentially if you actually buy a ticket!!!!!!

    Well done, great start to weekend.:T

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
