I also thought I knew everything there was to know about it and was a little presumptuous due to the personal success I have had in transforming my own life using many of the principals and techniques in this book. After reading it, I realized that Frank and Steve had a wonderful way of not just explaining the Law of Attraction so that anyone could really grasp it, but they also show the reader how to make the necessary changes from the inside out so that you have the Law of Attraction working for you day and night. Many people think that having positive thoughts, wishing, praying, meditating and hoping all day long is the key to “attracting” what you desire in your life. It’s not. If you do just that, you will be in for a very shocking reality. It doesn’t work. This book will show you that there are very specific language patterns that you must use to re-train your brain so that your conscious thoughts and subconscious thoughts line up with whatever you want to manifest in your life. In addition to “being” in the right vibration, you must also adopt the right beliefs to match the desired outcome in each area of your life. This book will show you step by step how to transform yourself from having negative destructive thoughts, feelings and actions to having more positive constructive thoughts, feelings and actions that match your goals and dreams in each area of your life. Is it better health you want? More money? To stop smoking? A better relationship? Each of us has hopes and dreams of living a wonderful life yet we have negative neurological patterns that stop us from reaching our true potential. What I love about this book is that Frank and Steve break down the different areas of your life into easy to follow sections that you can just choose, learn and apply. This book is not one you just read and put down. You interact with it and refer to it over and over again. It’s more of a do it yourself guide that will help you reshape any area of your life that you want better results in. Many people have heard of hypnosis and really do not understand how this powerful tool can help them transform any negative habit they have. First and foremost, all hypnosis is self hypnosis and a hypnotist cannot get you or anyone else to do what they do not want to do. That is a fallacy that has been propagated by the shows we see in Las Vegas or on television. Learning how to induce a “self hypnotic” state is brilliantly explained in this book so that anyone can master their own lasting change from the inside out. I highly recommend that you read this book and apply what you learn immediately. I know without a shadow of a doubt that what is contained within these pages can and will transform your life forever. I wish you all the success that you desire.

Stemming from Hinduism, this spiritual and esoteric theory has evolved greatly since ancient times. The reason we have decided to write a book about the many teachings and different theories of the Law of Attraction is quite simply due to our own positive personal experiences, which we hope to share with you. The principles of the Law of Attraction - or LOA - can and should be used throughout your everyday life, but without taking the proper steps and educational avenues, you may not be using LOA effectively. You may be wondering just how it is possible to literally change how your mind works and how you think. We are going to show you that this is within your control and how to use these theories to their full potential in your own life. You do not have to be a spiritual teacher to make the Law of Attraction work for you, but you do have to possess a great deal of discipline and confidence in the LOA to make it work. Throughout this book we will reveal to you the secrets of these concepts that we have used to further advance our own lives to a new level in regard to our careers and personal endeavours alike. You too can take the concepts and theories of the Law of Attraction and change your life in a positive way that you never thought existed or could even be possible. There is no need to feel stress and anxiety on a day-to-day basis and live a life that was nothing like what you’ve always dreamed of. The Law of Attraction can help you take control of your life and change certain areas, allowing you to create an entirely new view on life itself. In this book, we will provide you with the definitions of concepts as they apply to the LOA. We will explain the six steps of the Law of Attraction, with exercises and suggestions for applying them in your own life. You will notice that the chapters containing the six steps are interspersed with chapters on other topics. This has been done deliberately in order to make you, the reader, aware of various concepts along the way and show the many facets of life in which the Law of Attraction can be applied. Throughout this book we are going to go through each and every step of the Law of Attraction process to help you learn how to use it. We will also make sure that you understand each and every principle thoroughly. When you have finished reading this book, you will be able to transform any part of your life by putting these principles into action! We suggest reading this book in one of two ways. You can read it all the way through, then go back and study the steps, focusing on each one until you have mastered it. Or, you can take your time in familiarizing yourself with and incorporating each step into your life before reading the next step. You will have to do what works best for you. Whichever method you choose, we want to make it clear that you must do all the work you need to do with each step before moving on to the next one. As you read, you will realize the importance of each step and the potential impact that each can have on your life. These steps are meant to be read with an open mind. We fully believe that you will be highly impacted by each step and by the entire process that we outline in this book. We wish you great success on your endeavors with this process! To get started though, we thought it would be beneficial to share our personal life stories and how the Law of Attraction has changed certain aspects of our lives and created an entirely new mindset to our approach to life. We hope you are as excited as we are to begin this journey. The Law of Attraction can open many new doors for those who use its principles correctly. Let’s get started! Please read through each and every word carefully to make sure you are not missing even one little thing, as that can make the difference between your own personal success and failures. Do not become discouraged if you do not see immediate results with the Law of Attraction as it takes time. Trust us, your patience will be worth it! CHAPTER ONE Chapter 1: Personal Stories Steve’s Story I want to share my story about how using the Law of Attraction has helped me in my financial, personal, physical, and spiritual successes. First of all, the Law of Attraction is based on believing that you are going to get what you ask for. Beyond believing in the Law of Attraction intellectually, you must also be able to go deeper, and emotionally feel good things coming to you. You need an emotional reason for whatever you want to bring into your life. For me, financially speaking, that part was easy. I had been practicing hypnotherapy since the mid 1980’s and I had enjoyed a tremendous amount of financial success. However, I was not building wealth because my money was going toward extravagant rent for my Beverly Hills office and my home in Marina del Rey, California, both of which I was renting. All of the money I was making was going right through my fingers; I was allowing this to happen. I became very frustrated with my financial situation. I started envisioning a future in which I would own property, build wealth, and have investments. For me the main trick in becoming financially successful was letting go of my ego. I had to separate myself from my attachment to my Beverly Hills office. I realized that equating my office location with success was only serving my ego. I felt that others perceived the location of my office as a status symbol and indeed it was, but at the same time it was emotionally, physically, and financially draining me. The drive to and from my office every day was also draining me physically. I was always stuck in traffic and it took me at least an hour to get to and from work. The long hours were also physically draining. On top of seeing patients, I was running an online hypnotherapy business and it took a lot out of me physically and emotionally. I simply envisioned a new place where I could live and I then began to change my life. What came to mind for me was a place I had visited: Savannah, Georgia. Anyone who has been to Savannah knows that it has a lot of charm. All the streets are lined with live oaks and everything moves a little slower in Savannah compared to Los Angeles. I made the decision that I would move there. The process was almost like throwing a dart on a map because this was the place that came to my mind, yet I didn’t really know much about living and working in Savannah. I didn’t know anyone in the town. I didn’t own a house yet and I didn’t have a Lexus, but in my mind I could see the house and the car. I could imagine a better life where I looked forward to growing my business. I knew I could reach my goals because I could envision my new life. I painted a very detailed picture of all of this in my mind. Financially, moving to Savannah made sense. Home prices were reasonable and office space would be easy to find. I envisioned living in a house that I owned where my monthly payments went toward ownership rather than rent. I wanted to get into real estate investing by owning rental property. I envisioned living a stress- free life. I envisioned having investments. I envisioned driving a Lexus. I envisioned having my physical vitality back and loving my life due to less stress. I made sure that I knew exactly what I wanted. It was only when I knew exactly what I wanted that I was able to go after it. Of course, when I moved to Savannah I didn’t have enough money to buy a house or a car. At first I rented an apartment and since the cost of living is a lot lower in Savannah, I was able to save for a down payment on a house. I put a lot of focus and attention into my hypnotherapy practice and website. In less than a year, my website had doubled the amount of sales and I was able to put a down payment on my first house. Now, instead of my money going toward rent, it was going toward a mortgage and home ownership. Even after one year had passed since I had moved and set my goals, I still woke up every morning envisioning my goals and the life I truly wanted. Every day I looked forward to working with my patients and developing my website because my practice and my business were growing. Every day I was getting closer to realizing my dreams. I owned my house, but I was still envisioning a rental property, investing, and a Lexus parked in my driveway. Although I was still working long hours, I wasn’t stressed about it. I didn’t feel pressure, I felt motivated! I was enjoying my work and I no longer had to put up with Los Angeles traffic! One year later (two years after moving), all of my dreams and visions really started to fall into place. My business doubled its sales. At this point I decided it was important to invest my money instead of letting it sit in the bank. I found a financial advisor that helped me find the right investments for my lifestyle. I also decided that it was time for me to purchase that Lexus I had been envisioning. Now the Lexus was actually in my driveway and I owned it! A few months later I was looking at various island properties around Savannah. I found a bigger house on an amazing piece of land. The house had ten rooms, two and a half bathrooms, a fireplace, dock, jacuzzi, two car garage and an amazing view of the marsh. I wound up getting a great deal on the house because it needed some work. But I was willing to get my hands a little dirty for the house I had been envisioning for the past two years. It took a couple of months of manual labor to create my ideal home, but it was well worth the sweat. I quickly moved into my new house and decided not to sell my other house; I turned it into rental property. I was starting to fully realize the power of the Law of Attraction. I no longer had to picture in my mind a marsh-front house or a rental property because I had them both. I no longer had to envision a Lexus in my mind; I could just go into my garage and see it. I received monthly statements from my investment company showing me how my money was growing. All of this happened for me because I held this vision steady in my mind and I moved forward. Not a day went by when I didn’t think about my goals and envision myself accomplishing them. It’s important to point out again that in using the Law of Attraction it is imperative that you have an emotional attachment to the changes you want. I had a strong emotional attachment to what I wanted because I was truly fed up with my lifestyle and I was ready for a change. Here I am three years later, having achieved my goals and realized my vision. The house I live in is on an island and I have my own private dock. When I look out of one of the many back windows I can see dolphins swimming by. My rental property is less than a mile down the road and it brings in monthly rental income. I know my money is safe in my investments. I am going to leave my money in those investments for a long time so that my money will grow and prosper, just like I have these past few years. I’m enjoying my Lexus, especially since I’m never sitting in traffic. All of this happened for me simply as a result of recognizing a strong, emotionally based reason for wanting a change, believing in that reason, and attracting the change to myself. I want to share something amazing with you. Even though I have realized my goals and I am now living my dreams, I am still attracting abundance in my life. This is what is so wonderful about the Law of Attraction. Great things keep coming into my life. I lead a fulfilling and successful life and the Law of Attraction continues to reward me. Currently, I am focused on expanding my business to include greater product offerings on my website. A year from now I envision myself having doubled my sales yet again. I work long days, but again I don’t feel any stress; I feel motivation. Along with an expanding business and keeping the stress down, I have had to allocate jobs to other people. I divide my time by seeing patients, teaching students, working on my doctorate degree, and overseeing my online business. I have allocated many aspects of my online business to other people. I have a web designer, two full-time sound engineers, and a full-time office manager who all
