Manifesting out of the Financial Bind
Anna has a steady business, a bed and breakfast that she runs on her own. She is a staff of one, very capable and conscientious. Like any business, it demands a lot of her time and energy. Recently, she felt the need to buy a home. She is presently living on premises in a modest sized part of the B&B. There was a house available nearby, a bungalow style home, small and comfortable. It needed work but a capable friend offered to do what was necessary, making any repairs at a very reasonable price. Everything looks great, so Anna makes the purchase of her new home at an affordable price. The renovation begins. Anna is careful with the expenses but some out of budget needs have been met with credit card charges. Now it gets more complicated. The person doing the repairs leaves town unexpectedly, leaving her in a bind. The house has to be made comfortable before she can move in and she didn’t budget for repairs at a full market rate. To continue the renovations, Anna took a loan from the bank and hires people to continue the work. Now Anna has this bank loan, a big and unexpected expense. It may be that Anne would have to sell or rent this new home to make expenses. The was not the plan at all. She is just getting by and financial worries are constantly in the air. It is a real financial tangle without a clear solution. Shortly afterward, she receives Manifesting 123 as a gift from a close friend. The book came out of the blue. Anna jumped in and began to read an doing the simple exercises. It took one week. The friend that gifted the book gets a text from Anna that says, “It works!”The friend replies, “What works?” Anna happily replies, “Manifesting works!”Here’s what happened. Anna was in the front yard of the new home, overseeing renovations and worried about how the finances could work out. Having to sell this home was an option but not a desirable one, since she would likely loose money on a potential resale after renovation costs and sales commissions. There was the possibility of renting, but the house wasn’t ready, and besides, it would take a miracle to get a renter quickly at just the price she needed.Anna needed a perfect solution that would allow her to keep the house, cover her additional expenses and eliminate the new credit card debt. A car pulls up and the driver asks Anna if her house is available for rent. What a shock! The house wasn’t advertised but it is just the solution she needed. The renter agreed on a price that not only covered Anna’s mortgage but the extra amount will quickly eliminate her credit card balances. The bank loan is an expense Anna can easily handle since the mortgage is now covered by the new renter. How could this possibly happen? The person with the perfection solution magically drove right to Anna just in time. Anna simply used the ideas in Manifesting 123 and the solution was delivered to her. “It Just Works!” This is what readers say again and again. They use the Manifesting 123 techniques for weeks or days and the results appear. Knotty problems are elegantly solved. Miracles happen, large and small ones. It’s not a test of faith, belief or the amount of effort put in. Your thoughts create and when combined with your gratitude, they start to build immediately. Some come to fruition quicker than others, but know that your desires are forming and coming to you as efficiently as possible. It is how everything around you was made. All was thought first and then it became physical. It is more than a magical gift or secret knowledge. This is the birthright that we all possess. Psst! Pass in on.

The Unbelievable Request. Don’t Try This!
What should I ask for? Be smart! That is totally up to you, thank goodness! You are free to create anything without limits. Create an excess in your life of joy and affluence and give the extra away. Overflow your cup and share if you like. Go beyond the minimum and fly. I find myself asking for a number of good things throughout the day and at times I may feel anxious with some requests. There is that phrase, “Be careful what you ask for.” Here is a cautionary story from a few months ago. Two friends and I went out for dinner one night. We were enjoying ourselves in conversation and included our waitress from time to time. Our talk turned to manifesting, and when our waitress overheard a bit of what we were saying, she nodded in approval. “So do you ask or wish for things to come into your life?” I asked her. “Funny you should ask that,” she said with a faraway look on her face. “A month ago I was asking to be in a car wreck.” “What?” we all asked in unison, shocked. The waitress said a few months earlier her girlfriend had been involved in a car accident. Apparently the girlfriend came away with little or no injuries and with another bit of good fortune. She received a monetary settlement as a result of the collision. Our waitress didn’t disclose the amount but apparently the payment provoked an idea. “So, you were wishing for a car wreck so you could get a cash settlement?” I asked. She had a half smile and ironic look on her face. It was obvious she had given this a lot of thought. “Yes, it’s seemed like a pretty good idea at the time,” she said. The three of us were in a state of disbelief. We were in the manifesting choir. All of us had talked about intention and positive thoughts many times. We would never in our wildest dreams put out an intention like that. Our minds registered an alarm but we started laughing at the absurdity of her request. Like waiting for a man to step on a banana peel, we wanted to know what was coming next, but part of us did not want to know. We leaned forward…“So?” “Two weeks ago I was crossing the street and I got hit by a car.” “You’re kidding!” I said. “You weren’t in a car. You were a pedestrian and got hit by a car?” I’m glad she kept that grin. “Yes, I was walking across the street and got hit. I’m okay though. It was very minor and everything turned out alright.” “I can’t believe you did that,” I said as we all laughed with relief. “Obviously you needed the money. Did you get a settlement?” “No,” she said, “but I did learn a good lesson.” Don’t mess around with natural laws. At the core of Manifesting 123 is this fundamental truth: your thoughts build things. Really. You can build the sweet, you can manifest your worries and even make catastrophes. It has been my experience for many years that when you are thinking of something, it begins to form up on the other side. Many times I would send things in thought to my dear friend Judy Goodman and she was gifted enough to see what I was creating from 2000 miles away. It would begin to materialize as a vaporous form in her living room! This is new information and with it you are no longer in the hoping and waiting mode. Your thoughts will create anything you point yourself to. If you continue to think on an object or concept, it will begin to form and go from a vapor to something so solid and full-color in the spirit realm that it will manifest into your physical world. Anything. Always. It is a Law of Nature just like gravity. You don’t have to be an expert at dropping things – that is what gravity does. No skills are necessary to harness gravity and it is the same with manifesting. It’s all in the book waiting for you hit the switch! Did I just hear a click?

After the Workshop, Things are Happening Fast part 2
Excerpt from part one: complete part 1 “When I attended your workshop last week, I was at a very low point. I was having to take pain pills and muscle relaxants as a result of an accident a few weeks before. My doctor said I may need surgery, adding to my worries.” “I had just seen my financial planner and realized how I cannot afford my life or my retirement with the current job / trajectory which is physically too demanding for me anymore. I really want to do art, travel and help people one on one. I didn’t see how.” Deb continues today: I am in presently in California interviewing for jobs. I live in Denver, but the companies are headquartered in California, so the interviews take place here. I have interviewed for two more jobs here since we last spoke. These jobs were very intense pressure cookers since they involve start-up projects. They also involve considerable travel and a lot of commute time in Denver traffic. To take these jobs would require me to buy another home or rent something in downtown Denver. My primary home is 1 1/2 hours to the south in Colorado Springs. That is a lot of sacrifice and money to make these jobs work. I love my present home with the expansive landscapes and without the soul-squashing rush hour traffic. During the job search, I was using the manifesting techniques in the book. I was trusting the process and taking it one step at a time. I believed it would somehow work out. Yesterday, I had a third interview was for a similar Colorado position, not as pressured, and with flextime. It was just right for me and guess what? It was in Colorado Springs! It’s starting out part time, but I will get in with the company and training just in time for their national convention in Florida. By the way, my Manifesting Movie is about my job but it also includes a warm beach in the winter. So I’m taking this offer, it’s like it was custom-made for me. The timing will place me at the national convention where I will meet my new associates in person from all over the country. I am getting every break. This perfect timing will give me a jump start on my new adventure and I get to travel to that sunny, Florida beach. It is just as I manifested it. Somehow, everything is working out perfectly! I have the Manifesting 123 ‘cheat sheet’ (tear outs from the back of the book) and my Manifesting 123 list on the fridge. It helps remind me of my intentions and keeps me on track! Many blessings, Deb Manifesting is a beach sometimes. Deb made it sound simple but it wasn’t. In part one last December, she had health and financial issues to overcome. complete part 1 Everyday she was doing the Manifesting 123 techniques by viewing her movie in the future and offloading the fear. She had plenty on her plate to hold her back but she was determined to go forward with positive solutions. Her manifesting was making a difference and she could see incremental effects coming in. It was a big break to be offered her perfect job in the smaller metro – her present home. As it turns out, Deb manifested and created some very important changes in only two months. This new job was part of that incremental process mentioned earlier. Looking back, it would have seemed unlikely for so much good to happen that quickly. Some would be too overwhelmed to try, but Deb had all the tools she needed and took the shortcut, Manifesting 123! By the way, while in California interviewing, Deb spent her extra time on the beach. Now that she got the new job, she will be traveling to the National convention in Florida. You know the one, it’s the state surrounded on three sides by beaches. Way to go Deb! Who wants to step up and go next? Happy Manifesting, Ken Do you have a story of your own to share? We would love to hear it. Send it to Ken (you can be anonymous) Want to share books with friends?

It was a Simple Idea that Manifested Globally
I saw this article in the New York Times a couple of days ago, January 28, 2014. Photo: A shipment of low-enriched uranium, equivalent to 10,000 warheads, arrived at an American plant in 2005. credit: USEC Thomas Neff, a physicist at MIT was thinking about the weapons grade nuclear material that the Soviet Union possessed after the end of the Cold War. This enormous and very dangerous stockpile could end up anywhere. The Soviet Union was coming apart. Thousands of nuclear weapons were stored and guarded in a less than optimal way. It was his intention to recycle these weapons and convert them into electrical generation. Dr. Neff had little name recognition and was a political novice with very little experience in arms-control. Regardless, Dr. Neff’s idea was a solution eventually embraced by politicians and scientists eager to diffuse this very serious problem for the world. In 1991, he attended a meeting of nuclear experts in Washington that was also attended by a Soviet delegation. The agenda was demilitarization. During a break he approached a member of the Soviet delegation, Mr. Mikhailov on his own. He asked Mr. Mikhailov if he would consider selling the uranium in those Soviet weapons to the U.S. It appeared to be an agreeable idea. The doctor went further and wrote an op-ed article in the New York Times that was published five days later. The idea moved forward. As it turns out, Dr. Neff ended up working for decades on the project that fulfilled his idea: Megatons to Megawatts. The United States bought the weapons-grade material and converted it for electrical generation. Last month, the final shipment of uranium from Russia was shipped to the United States. In 20 years, this program turned 20,000 Russian warheads into so much electricity it has illuminated one in 10 American lightbulbs. It’s calculated that the total electric power could illuminate the entire United States with its 20,000 cities and 115 million households for about two years. Or, it would be the equivalent of powering Washington DC for 185 years. One third of the atomic bomb fuel on the planet was eliminated. The potential of atomic terrorism was much reduced and the project produced much-needed cash for the Soviet Union, helping to further stabilize the country. Dr. Neff’s simple idea became 20 years work. It was incredibly complicated but he carried his intention through to the end. One person’s idea accomplished more than just about anyone else has done with nuclear disarmament. He estimates that he traveled to Russia 20 times to work on the original deal and its amendments. The lesson of the story he said, ”is that private citizens can actually do something.” Your thoughts have unlimited potential This story is a staggering example of how far a simple thought can go and what a difference it can make in the world. Early on, one man and then a very small group made it their task, their intention to make it a reality. Thought works this way. Everything around you was thought first. Your plastic pen was oil in the ground and it took thousands of man-hours to bring it to your home. Make a wish, have an idea and keep it in your consciousness. Watch for the opportunities to bring it to reality. Do good things for yourself. Perhaps you want to create something that serves others as well. Make history if you like.

Shooting the Moon!
John is a commissioned salesman selling a specialized product. People can order from a short menu of existing types or specify a custom item. It is important that John stays close to his customers with product updates but he can’t pester them with constant pitches. In a saturated market, his product stands out in a premium niche, but there is still abundant competition. After reading Manifesting 123 and getting good results personally, John made a plan to apply the principles to his sales career. There is a lot of income potential in this market, but the norm among the sales staff is to get by comfortably. There isn’t a lot of the ‘shoot the moon’ thinking going on. Being in sales often means that one often worries about the personal bills from month to month. It’s difficult to get months ahead of those expenses, but the possibility is there. His strategy was to use ‘comfortable’ as a baseline and make his goal a way to reach new customers and create larger sales. His company is coast to coast with many outlets representing the products. If John has a client contract him directly and they haven’t written orders with an outlet in the past, then the client is John’s at full commission. He could run national ads but they are expensive and create friction with some in the outlet group. John decided that he would begin to focus on the custom orders by becoming more knowledgable with the product and letting his present clients know about his creative edge in production and installation. Next, he polished his sales pitch and supporting documents. He had one more valuable tool. Every day he began to use the #1 of Manifesting 123 to visualize his future. John saw himself enjoying the increased success in his career. Within about six weeks he saw a result. It was a nice spike in traditional sales, but here’s the interesting part. There was a new shift in how he was creating income. Some of the outlets were contacting him for his installation expertise and client communication skills. He started getting commissions from those affiliates since he became part of the sale. Wonderful! Things were going great. He was still doing the manifesting Movie described in the book and was steadily getting ahead, putting some money into savings. Then one morning he awoke a with really good idea. He immediately put it to work in his Movie. It was that shoot the moon idea. In his future, new clients were calling him direct with very large orders. It didn’t matter how they heard about him, that wasn’t part of the visualization, it was about making direct sales. This way, John gets the full commission, a sizable difference. While we was at it, he visualized larger orders than he had ever written before, a fabulous combination. He didn’t have a clue how this could happen but why not try to manifest the big sale moon shot? It took two weeks. He got the call for the largest custom order he had ever written. He was very grateful to get it, but was it a fluke? Eight months passed and then something changed. Since last October, John has written a big order every month matching that first big one. He has never had a run like this and more big sales are pending. The clients are calling in out of the blue. It is as if he has a big billboard in the sky somewhere with his phone number…amazing! Some of these accounts have become repeat clients, making the entire process much easier. John is not comfortable as a writer, so he had me write it up and make sure it was passed on to you. Wow, thank you John! So how could this happen? John could see the problem and devised a strategy but how could he make it work? He wanted to standout from the crowd and reach bigger customers. It was quite the puzzle, particularly when his preference was to have clients call him directly. He couldn’t find a way around the limits in the present system so he made a plan without limits using Manifesting123. John doesn’t clearly know how all the new clients reached him. Two were from old, forgotten contacts and recommendations but the rest are a mystery. Regardless, the success he planned found him as if my magic. If it can work for John … ? We are rooting for you!

A Miracle is Needed and the Request Goes Out
From a lovely reader:Ken I know you recommend that part of our movie every day is to see ourselves enjoying perfect health. I think we all want that and families desire their children to be healthy as well. It seems a given that children will have it but alas, sometimes they do not. Often we hear from a friend asking for our helpful prayers and healing thoughts for others. In this case, it was a child’s teacher making this request on a healing network. She writes: “I wish to ask for your loving healing to go out to a young ex-school pupil of mine who is in a coma in Kings College Hospital, London, UK. Millie is 11 and has been given 72 hours to find a new liver, as her original transplant (as a baby) has failed.Despite all her health problems, she has always been a smiling, happy child, but sadly, 2 years ago her body started rejecting her transplant. The family has been through so much and if this is the time for Millie to leave them, then ask for strength to get them through. Mum, dad & her three younger sisters are with her. Thank you all. Love & light, Diane x “ Typically, we don’t hear back from the senders of these requests, but today our group that responded received a heart-warming email letting us know how things turned out. Here is the message we received: “They say miracles happen and one certainly happened today! Millie’s mum rang us at school this lunchtime to say Millie had just come back from transplant surgery – a donor liver was flown in during the early hours this morning. They do not know the donor so sadly, it would seem someone has lost a loved one for Millie to live. Our thoughts are with them too, but what a wonderful gift to give. Obviously it’s a long road ahead, but I feel the universe wouldn’t have given her this opportunity had they not wanted it to be successful. Thank you all for your loving healing & prayers. Love & light Diane x” She must be a special little girl, and the teacher that reached us with her request for help is undoubtedly a very caring individual. She has a trust that miracles can happen and a determination to ask for one. It’s an added blessing that the internet connectivity allows people who do not know each other to reach out and ask for what they need. Millie and her family have endured so much and many people were enlisted to pray and ask for Millie’s healing. With precious little time to spare, everything quickly came together perfectly. I’m really so overjoyed to hear that Millie will return to her family. Anonymous reader So much was required. The stakes couldn’t be any higher, so in their wisdom the biggest tool was brought to the problem, simply asking for the perfect solution. There is so much more complexity to this story than we know but the perfect solution appeared. The efforts of the family and those asked to help made a difference. Prayers are heard and your thoughts create. It’s big and anyone can do it.It was a miracle for the asking. Enjoy the miracle of your day, Ken Do you have a story of your own to share?

Manifesting the Really Big Deals – Multiple Choices
Last week a good friend called, wanting to come by and talk a bit. We met about five years ago and immediately hit it off. He wanted to talk about what has been happening with him lately and dropped a hint that manifesting would be involved.He brought over a nice bottle of wine and we settled in. When we first met years ago, I discussed manifesting but not in a form as concise as Manifesting 123. After that first meeting years ago, he told me he had a surprising result after using his thoughts to make change. A month ago, he read Manifesting 123, and decided to give it a try. Much has transpired since then. Richard is a business man and has been involved with fortune 500 companies at a very high level. He has valuable skills that generate millions of additional dollars to those companies that hire him. He also has a few very close friends and trusted business associates he stays in constant touch with. They are very talented individuals with specialties that compliment and overlap. Richard is at the point where he would rather do something on his own rather than work for a large corporation. That’s easy to say, but it takes a great idea, capital and a team to make it happen. Back to the Manifesting book, he told me he is a black and white, analytical kind of guy. The idea of using your thoughts to create outcomes is just out of the box. However, when Richard used the ideas in the book, he got results. Not just one, but a few and they appeared to indicate a cause and result. He was using the ideas in the book everyday. Richard would imagine these perfect scenarios in his future and express gratefulness in each one. Day after day he imagined and polished these ideas and yes, the results were starting to show. In the winter last year he was vacationing with his family at a rented resort home in the mountains, happy and relaxed. His wife and daughter had left the house and he was along doing his manifesting Movie. In his Movie he was imagining being in his future with all that he desired. He had to laugh. He imagined a second home in the mountains… he was in one! He didn’t need to OWN a second home, he could just rent this one. He stopped the process and followed an urge to go into his daughter’s room. He picked up her sweatshirt that had a lot of writing on the front. The last line said, “Rinse, Wash and Repeat.” OK, so what was he doing pickup up things in her room? He never does that. With a shrug he went back to the living room and began reading Manifesting 123 again. Suddenly it was there in the book, “Rinse, Wash and Repeat.” He felt a reaction form deep inside himself. He couldn’t miss it and when it travelled up his body, he began to cry. When he came over and retold this other night, it happened again and it was unmistakable. Richard had a confirmation. Most of us have felt that moment that touches us at our core but it is rare and usually meaningful. What was going on? He had been observing the unfolding of very important events in the last few weeks. Seeing the phrase again in the book was perhaps a positive signal of some kind, an encouragement. He continued his manifesting routine each day and observed how one of his biggest aspirations was beginning to form up, the opportunity for his own business. In all there were four business plans that emerged. All were different but well-formed, solid ideas that had national reach. Each came in from one of those trusted associates. He was watching potential dreams emerge. These are complex deals, yet all the talent and funding is in place for each one. It took hours to talk through them all, how they came in and the amazing coincidences that birthed them. There won’t be any business secrets revealed here, only that he had never seen such a fertile time. Did he do this? It is quite possible and Richard is not letting up now. He is carefully exploring each possibility and continuing to take a little time to manifest each day. Manifesting can be very black and white, very cause and effect. At the least, perhaps Richard has discovered a simple tool he can use to his advantage. And here is a Very Interesting part: Ss so many others have discovered, he woke up one day with a new calm around him. Things pull on him less and he feels more confident and happy. It’s a common side-effect of manifesting each day and a very nice one! So two guys sit down to talk about business… It was very inside business, getting that edge. What a great night that was. Not the usual guy-talk, eh? It was exciting to hear about those business possibilities and how Richard is ‘directing’ his manifesting Movie. At times I would remember some of the stories from readers where difficulties were cleared away and opportunities smoothly presented. In all these stories, a good outcome was being manifested and the size or impossibility didn’t matter, what seemed to be a miracle materialized. So what’s the difference between a big miracle and a little one? Nothing. Going a bit further, YOU are the difference. So point yourself to where you want to go. Go far!

We Need to Make the Plan Work Now
I want to share an experience that happened on December 30th of last year. My friend and I went to Joshua Tree National Park in California to spend New Year’s Eve. We had decided to camp out and bring in the New Year at the park. It was a great plan, enjoying the outdoors rather then the usual celebrations in the city. It was a three-hour drive to get there, so we got on the road early that morning. We got to the park just after 1:00 pm and saw a very long line of cars at the ranger ticket booth. My friend said, “This doesn’t look good.” He was right. Once we entered the park, we started driving around the different campgrounds looking for a spot. Every campground was full.We were in a fix and three hours from home. This is a great idea, but we needed that campsite. Ideas? Hmm… I had one. I had read Manifesting 123 and followed the great stories in the newsletters. Why not give it a try right now? I asked my friend, “What would be your perfect campsite?” He said it would be less crowded and described other details he would like. Shortly after, we learned about a site that was more out of the way, so we drove to it. On the way, I used the Manifesting 123 technique, mentally imagining our future campsite. In my Movie, I imagined we found our perfect campsite just as he described. We loved it and we were very grateful to have it. As we drove around a rock foundation, there was an available campsite, just as I had pictured it. This site was the only free one in the entire park! I let my friend know that this is what I had been wishing for. We thoroughly enjoyed our place in the park and brought in the New Year in a way that was perfect for us. Oh yes, we were very grateful! Tina What a great way to start the New Year. I’m very impressd that Tina went right to work on the problem using the Manifesting techniques in the book. Sure, they could have found a hotel outside the park, but the plan was to camp in the park. She didn’t say this is hopeless and abandon the idea. Tina wasn’t out of options yet. She is very familiar with manifesting and uses it daily. OK, time was a bit short here, but she got the picture of what was required and in a very short time, the campsite appeared, the Last One in the park. In the book, Judy Goodman showed me how our thoughts create things. After I pulled off a pretty good bit of manifesting she said, “Now do you see what you can do?”Nicely done, Tina. Who’s next?By the way. I woke up wide awake in the wee hours this morning. I was just laying there thinking and then realized I put together a newsletter for today! I jumped up to make it happen. How wonderful, Tina had sent me her story, perfect! The newsletter came together in record time and I’ll get back to sleep before the sun comes up. Perfect is good. Thank you Tina!

How Could This Happen? The Improbable Business Plan
Here is Manifesting at its best. Since I am an artist and a writer, I have a lot of creative friends. We love what we do and the trick is to be the happy artist and pay the bills. We talk often about things artistic and our careers. Read that as talking about improving as an artist and paying the bills.Strategies abound and fortunately, artists have a lot of options for success. First, do good work. The artist decides what is to be created, the medium and size. Then there are options on how to be seen and much more. It’s a lot to consider. In this story, an artist used Manifesting 123 to boost sales and simplify his career management. He doesn’t want to be identified here, so we’ll call him Charles. Each day the artist did the Manifesting 123 steps and his 7 grateful things. Charles has a number of future scenes in his Manifesting “Movie.” His most important scene is that he has perfect health. In his future, he simply observes that he is very healthy and has been for some time. He is also very mindful to say that he is very grateful after each of his future scenes. Second on his priority is that he does his souls’ purpose, whatever that may be. So in his future scene he is relaxing comfortably somewhere and observes that he has been doing his souls’ work for sometime. He feels fulfilled and grateful. All the other scenes in his movie can be put into the category of living comfortably and happily. Some of those scenes involve Charles’ successful career as an artist and he visualizes that in a way that doesn’t create limits. In his future, Charles is happy as an artist, healthy, living comfortably, and abundantly, so of course those bills are paid. He was careful not to specify how this would come about in the future, only that it all did. Here’s where it gets interesting. Charles typically does about three to four medium to large works a month with a sprinkling of smaller works throughout the year. At the end of the year, he will have produced 40 – 70 works. In 2012 and going forward, he committed to doing five much larger works each year in the hopes of greater artistic and financial success. That’s a pretty good strategy for improvement in both areas. 2013 was an interesting year for Charles. He seemed to be constantly drawn into doing what appeared to be his soul’s work, a very high priority, but it was taking considerable time from his art career. He had observed that his being in service apparently was a protected time. If he lost studio time, somehow he could make it up by being more efficient or other means. If Charles was in the studio and interrupted by someone needing help, that call to service, then he would drop everything and make himself available. He was fighting to get to the studio throughout the year, but the calls for him to be of service were taking all of his time. He kept his souls’ work as a priority at the expense of his art career and there was a LOT of service in 2012 for Charles. At the end of the year, Charles discovered he had done nine new works and sold only three of that group. That was an exceptionally dismal year for art production…the worst ever. Even as a beginner, he did far more art works than that. So how did he pay the bills? His Manifesting came through. Charles had a good amount of inventory in galleries around the country from years before and in 2013 it was steadily selling. At the end of the summer the earlier works began to sell even more. Charles was very concerned about his lack of new works to show, but when he tallied up his sales last December, he was very surprised. Total sales showed that was his best year as an artist! It just doesn’t seem possible to have precious little coming out of the ‘factory door’ for an entire year and expect success, but that is exactly what happened! Charles is scratching his head and he is VERY grateful! He said this “really works” and he has made even better plans for his future. Are you kidding me? This is not the typical business plan by a long shot, but Charles allowed the higher priority of doing his souls’ work and the bills were paid… regardless.He told me it was tricky for him. He was feeling the pressure of paying his expenses and the frustration of being pulled away from the studio, the source of his income. In the real world you work and get paid. He was outside his comfort zone but somehow each month, sales would come in. There were even additional funds that came in by suprise from outside sources. After seeing this repeating month after month, he saw a trend emerging in his favor and just said yes to those needing his time elsewhere. He felt a bit more comfortable with what was being manifesting around him but never completely. It was all to unbelievable to fully accept. He did have a great way to handle the worry of it all. There is a great tool in the book as the #2 of 123. Grab a copy or you can hear me discuss briefly it in my radio interviews. How is 2013 going for Charles? Service is still a priority and he has tweaked the art career part of his Movie. He is back in the studio and off to a fantastic start in just two weeks, but that is a story for another time.I wish you every success. Go for it! Ken Do you have a story of your own to share?
