... that has a lot to do with the law of attraction.
So things like I am wealthy, I am rich, et cetera.
And we're going to get into that in just a second and how that works and how you practice
it.
So stay tuned.
I wanted to show you something really quickly because these post-its, these two post-its
have been sitting on my wall in front of my desk no matter where I've lived from a tiny
shoebox apartment to the downtown dream apartment that I'm in now.
They've been sitting in front of my desk since, I guess it's been four or five years now that
they've been on my wall.
I've stared at them every single day and they've created real magic.
So take a look.
They're a little crumbled.
They don't stick anymore because they've lost their stick.
But one says I will be in circles with Tony Robbins, Marie Forleo, and Oprah.
And you've recently seen that I got to meet Oprah, I have met Tony Robbins and I have
now interviewed Marie Forleo twice.
Leadership and talking, hello.
Hello.
All the things that I was doing in my coaching career and through my dance fitness.
So, I became one of the world's first ever for Nike elite dance athlete-
And you can check one of those videos out on my channel here.
And the other one says, I will be a millionaire by age 30.
And I accomplished that goal.
And just recently I made a vision board.
And this thing is crazy.
I made this, I guess now, eight months ago, and I didn't know at the time I was going
to be traveling to Europe at all, wasn't in the cards, it wasn't in the plans, didn't
really have the space to be able to do it.
And I also didn't know that Oprah was going to be going on tour in Canada only, I live
in Canada, and check this out.
So I made this vision board long before I knew any of this.
And you can see Oprah's at the center, Oprah magazine and Italy.
And here's the really, really interesting part about all of this.
All of those things have happened and they've all sort of popped up in my life in weird
ways that I can't really explain.
And I have been practicing the law of attraction for at least the last decade when I kind of
figured out what it was and even had heard of it for the first time.
And it is a big part of why I've been able to grow to multimillion dollars in revenue
in my business and why I've been able to build the life that I have and get the opportunities
that I have.
So I wanted to do a video on this.
Although I've never really talked about it before.
And I posted on my Instagram stories and asked if you guys wanted to see a video on this
and you said yes.
I mentioned this vision board before that literally created magic for me.
And part of what's on this board is your breakthrough body and your best body.
And I've been looking at it every day and I feel like...
So we're going to dive into the law of attraction and how I've used it to build a multi-million
dollar business, and build this life, and do all of these amazing things so that you
can start implementing these laws and these practices that I do into your day so you can
create some real magic in your life too.
Let's do it.
Give it a like if you're excited, because I'm really excited to talk about this.
So let's just start really simply, what is the law of attraction?
The law of attraction simply put is the ability to attract into our lives that which we focus
on.
Now, one of the biggest misconceptions about this is that if you focus on a Lamborghini,
it's just going to appear.
That's not how it works though, at all.
The law of attraction really works in all ways.
And I like to think of it as a boomerang.
That's a really great visual to think of when you think of the law of attraction.
Whatever you focus on and whatever you're putting out there, it's going to come back
to you tenfold, for better or for worse.
If you put out negativity and drama, you're going to get negativity and drama.
If you put out positivity and peace and love and happiness, you're going to get all that
goodness back to you.
And if you can think of somebody in your life right now, give this video a like.
It'll be like your subtle little clue.
If you can think of somebody in your life right now who is constantly stuck in a drama
cycle or a drama circle and they're always playing the victim.
That's the law of attraction in motion in a negative way.
They're constantly embroiled in drama because they're putting out drama and they're creating
that negativity, so it's coming back to them like a boomerang tenfold.
And another really good thing to clear up here is that when it comes to the law of attraction,
it only hears what you want.
So prime example is if I say the sentence, I don't want to be poor.
The universe only hears and is only going to ring back to you, I want to be poor.
So instead you always want to be talking in terms of what you actually do want, not in
terms of what you don't want because it can't hear the difference.
So, I would say in that circumstance, I want to be rich.
I want to be wealthy.
I want to be abundant.
I want to feel wealthy in all aspects of my life.
I am wealthy, and I'm sure you've heard of I am affirmations.
That has a lot to do with a law of attraction.
So things like I am wealthy, I am rich, et cetera.
And we're going to get into that in just a second and how that works and how you can
practice it.
So stay tuned.
The best way to sum this up before we dive into the daily practices of using the law
of attraction to create the life that you want is what you appreciate, appreciates.
And what you resist, persists.
What I mean by that is where you put your focus and what you appreciate in your life,
you're going to see of that.
So, if you want to be healthy, and happy, and successful, you need to be focused on
being healthy and happy and successful even if you're not there yet.
Because again, the universe, the law of attraction, it can't tell the difference between reality
and what you're trying to create.
And so, the more that you believe that and speak that into existence, the more it's going
to become a real thing.
And I'll go to a Jay-Z quote on this, which I love, where he says, "Speak your dreams
into reality."
That's pretty much exactly what the law of attraction is.
You're speaking what you want into reality until it is real, until you create it.
Because you will create it if you do this.
Now, the flip side of that is what you resist persists.
So, if you're focusing on all the crap you don't want in your life, and again, hear my
words on this.
If you're focusing on all of the crap you don't want in your life, that crap's going
to come your way because you're focusing on it.
Remember what I said about the law of attraction is, it's the ability to attract what it is
that you're focusing on, whether it's bad or good.
So we want to use it for the good, right?
Right?
Yeah, we do.
So what are the key ways, practices, tactics that I've used to manifest millions in my
business?
Create a global audience, have you sitting there watching me right now?
Thank you by the way.
And build the life that I really love and I'm very proud of.
The first practice is believe it is already so.
Now, I'm not getting hippy-dippy on you here, but this is real and I believe in it wholeheartedly.
And the reason that I've never really talked about this before is because I know there's
a lot of judgment around law of attraction and manifestation and all this stuff and there's
also a lot of BS around it.
Because people are like, "You're going to manifest yourself a million dollars tomorrow."
That isn't how it works.
If it was, we'd all be millionaires.
So believing it is so is very different than thinking it's going to happen overnight.
This, the law of attraction is a product of daily thoughts, and daily exercises, and daily
practices, and believing that it's true.
Now, a prime example of this is when I was living in my tiny shoebox apartment, which
I still really love, but it was teeny-tiny.
When I was living in that shoebox apartment, I still had that sticky note on my wall that
said, "I will be a millionaire by the time I'm 30."
I think I was 27, 26 or 27 at the time.
And I believed it.
I was like, "Yeah, it's going to happen."
Like no doubt about it.
I believed this in my core that it will happen.
And another thing is like you can't say, "Okay, I'm really broke right now.
So I need to manifest rent money this month."
Again, not how it's going to work, because that is coming from a place of scarcity, not
from a place of belief.
So when you're thinking in terms of fear, the universe can't hear you, the law of attraction
can't hear you at all.
You have to be coming from a place of abundance as if it's already happened.
So saying, "I will be a millionaire by the time I'm 30," even though I was living in
a tiny shoebox and I can barely pay my rent, because I believed it wholeheartedly, I put
it into motion.
Now this is great but really have to understand that believing it is so it's just the first
kind of step to this part of it.
The next step is something that actually happens when you figure out what it is that you want
to attract.
So, it activates something called your reticular activating system, RAS.
You've probably heard other people talk about this before or you've just noticed it happening.
Prime example is let's talk about cars.
If you all of a sudden find a car that you really want, you then start seeing it everywhere.
Has this ever happened to you?
Let me know in the comments if this has ever happened to you.
What happens there is the reticular activating system, basically because you know that you
want that thing and you've now become focused on it, it starts popping up for you everywhere,
you start seeing it and recognizing it.
They've always been there.
You've just never seen them.
So for me, when I had that posted on my mall that said, I want to be willing by the time
I'm 30, all of a sudden my RAS is activated and I am reading books, I am finding mentors
online, I'm finding programs, I am speaking to the right people, I'm having the right
conversations to get me to that goal, which then did happen.
So it basically, when you believe it is so you start receiving the things that you need
to receive.
They have always been in front of you, you just can't see them until you know what it
is that you want to focus on so that you can attract it.
And then the other piece of that is you actually have to act on it.
Because they can show up all they want, but you actually have to do something with those
things in order to reach the thing that you're trying to attract.
So, just because I said I want to be a millionaire by the time I'm 30, if I just decided to not
read the books, not buy the programs, not invest in mentors, it wouldn't have happened.
Because it still would have just been a thought and I wouldn't be taking the action to make
it a reality.
Makes sense?
And that brings me to step two, which is act on it.
So, this is pretty simple, but it can feel a little bit weird, or wacky, or uncomfortable,
but this is really what separates the people who make their dreams a reality and the people
who stay stuck and don't.
So, you got to choose who you want to be.
So acting on it means doing the things that are necessary to make that thing a real part
of your life.
So for example, as I just mentioned, what I set my sights and put my focus on, I will
be a millionaire by the time I'm 30.
I started acting as if it was already true.
I started surrounding myself with people who had already achieved it and listening to them
on a daily basis.
They didn't know me.
They had no idea who I was.
I was just sitting there in my shoebox listening to these people on YouTube, on podcasts and
books, et cetera because I wanted to soak up what they had done so that I could really
understand what it took and then act on it.
Another example of this is long before I ever could even afford a car, I was, I would go
and test drive cars.
I would go and, I test drove a BMW, I test drove a few cars and truly walked in there
like I was going to buy it.
And this wasn't to be deceiving, it was because I needed to know what it felt like to be able
to do that.
Because until you can feel it with your whole body and act on it, it can't happen.
It can't come into existence.
Another thing is for me, I knew that I wanted to do public speaking, and I've been fortunate
enough to now speak all over the world.
And so, one of the other things that I did was I would practice speaking in my little
apartment to nobody, to the mirror, and feel it, envision it in my whole body and mind
that it was really happening down to every single detail.
And that's a really important part of this.
You want to activate every single one of your senses when you act on it, when you are making
this happen, when you are making the moves.
You want to feel what it feels like to accomplish that outcome.
And a big piece of this is something that I feel like a lot of successful people don't
talk about, which is, you might see me in this YouTube channel, I have over 300,000
subscribers now and all this stuff, but I have been making videos without putting them
anywhere my entire life.
Without knowing that YouTube was even going to be a thing, because YouTube didn't exist
when I was a kid.
So, I had been practicing and acting on it long before it was a real thing.
And that's when people are going to look at you and think you're crazy, but it's the crazy
ones who make [inaudible 00:13:29] happen and do the things that all of a sudden people
are going to be calling you for advice and wanting to talk to you.
But back in the day they thought you were crazy.
So, acting on it is really moving it into reality.
So, whatever is that you want to do, figure out how you can sort of replicate that thing
in your day-to-day life right now, whether that's speaking into the mirror or pretending
you're talking to a thousand people like I did until I did get to speak to a thousand
people in a room or investing in programs and courses from people who are where you
want to be.
All of this is part of acting on it.
And the third thing is see it as reality and feel it as reality.
Kind of touched on this before, but a really amazing, perfect example of this is Jim Carrey
who wrote himself a 10 million dollar check when he was broke and just starting in his
career and had no opportunities.
And then when he booked his first big movie, I believe it was The Mask, he was handed a
10 million dollar check.
So didn't you write yourself a check?
Yeah.
I heard that you did.
Is that true?
I wrote myself a check for $10 million for acting services rendered and I gave myself
five years, or three years maybe.
And I dated it Thanksgiving 1995.
And I put it in my wallet and I kept it there and it deteriorated and deteriorated and stuff.
And, but then just before Thanksgiving, 1995 I found out that I was going to make $10 million
on, I think it was Dumb and Dumber, maybe.
Dumb and Dumber.
One of the most powerful things that you can do, and a big part of the law of attraction
is visualization.
But it's not just visualization with your mind's eye and seeing it, it's feeling it
encompassing your entire body.
So when I would practice speaking in front of a thousand people, I would actually see
faces in the crowd.
I would see what the room looked like.
I would see what the lights looked like.
I would feel what the lights would feel like on my face and it was a little bit hot.
I could feel, you know, the nerves in my tummy.
I could feel the clothes that I wanted to wear.
I encompassed all of it.
And that is a big piece of actually making this reality.
So, really those are the three things that I have used and leveraged in my life and my
business to get to where I am today.
And how I've used the law of attraction to generate over a million dollars in my business
is doing all those things.
I believed it, I acted on it and I saw it as reality.
I could actually feel the outcome when it happened.
And I looked at it every single day on those post-its.
So don't underestimate the little actions that you're taking today to make your reality
happen.
And the thing I wanted to also mention too is as I mentioned in the beginning, what you
appreciate, appreciates.
A big part of my shift in creating a life that I love was starting a daily gratitude
practice.
And I started doing this when I was not in a great space, and when I was a little down
in the dumps, and I was frustrated because I wasn't getting any clients in my business,
I had just gone through a breakup, I was living in a shoebox and I could barely pay rent.
But someone said to me, "Have you ever tried writing what you're grateful for every day?"
And I thought, "I have nothing to be grateful for, why would I do that?"
And she said, "Just try it."
So I did.
I started writing down on a nightly basis, "Okay, what am I grateful for today?
What am I grateful for today?"
And I started with three things and it would turn into a list of 50.
And when you start to practice gratitude on a daily basis, you will find that you have
a lot more to be grateful for.
And like I said before, when you practice gratitude for the things you want in your
life, like love, relationships, health, wealth, those things will appreciate.
They will only increase.
So, focus on the things that you truly want.
