p 10 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: Your income can grow only to the extent that you do!
...The vast majority of people simply do not have the internal capacity to create and hold on to large amounts of money and the increased challenges that go with more money and success. that, my friends, is the primary reason they don't have much money.

p 13 What you cannot see in this world is far more powerful than anything you can see. You may or may not agree with this statement, but to the extent that you do not apply this principle in your life, you must be suffering. Why? because you are going against the laws of nature, whereby what is under the ground creates what is above the ground, where what is invisible creates what is visible.

p 15 Now hear this: A lack of moeny is never, ever a problem. A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath.

...All energy travels in frequencies and vibrations. therefore, each declaration you make carries its own vibrational frequency.

p 32 Money is not the root of the problem; fear is. What's even worse is that fear is not just a problem; it's a habit.

p 56 If victims aren't blaming, you'll often find them justifying or rationalizing their situation by saying something like "Money's not really important." Let me ask you this question: If you said that your husband or your wife, or your boyfriend or your girlfriend, or your partner or your friend, weren't all that important, would any of them be around for long? I don't think so, and neither would money!...No rich people believe that money is not important.

p 57 Try paying your bills with love. Still not sure? then pop on over to the bank and try depositing some love and see what happens.

p 58 ..Law of Attraction (says) "like attracts like", meaning that when you are complaining, you are actually attracting "crap" into your life.

...WEALTH principle: When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing "crap magnet".

..Have you ever noticed that complainers usually have a tough life? it seems that everything that could go wrong does go wrong for them. they say, "Of course I complain -- look how crappy my life is." And now that you know better, you can explain to them, "No, it's BECAUSE you complain that your life is so crappy. Shut up...and don't stand near me!"...Which brings us to another point. you have to make darn sure not to put yourself in the proximity of complainers. if you absolutely have to be nearby, make sure you bring a steel umbrella or the crap meant for them will get you too!

p 59 For the next seven days I challenge you to not complain at all. Not just out loud, but in your head as well. But you have to do it for the full seven days. Why? Because for the first few days, you may still have some "residual crap" coming to you from before. Unfortunately crap doesn't travel at the speed of light, you know, it travels at the speed of crap so it might take a while to clear out.

p 60 Wealth Principle: There is no such thing as a really rich victim!

p 61 It's time to decide. You can be a victim OR you can be rich, but you can't be both. Listen up! Every time, and I mean EVERY time you blame, justify or complain, you are SLITTING YOUR FINANCIAL THROAT...

It's time to take back your power and acknowledge that you create everything that is in your life and everything that is not in it.

p 63 When your intention is to have enough to pay the bills, that's exactly how much you'll get -- just enough to pay the bills and not a dime more....There's a big difference between being comfortable and being rich.

p 67 The universe, which is another way of saying "higher power," is akin to a big mail-order department. it is constantly delievering people, events and things to you. You "order" what you get by sending energetic messages out to the universe based on your predominant beliefs. Again, based on the law of Attraction, the universe will do its best to say yes and support you. But if you have mixed messages in your file, the universe can't understand what you want.

One minute the universe hears that you want to be rich, so it begins sending you opportunities for wealth. But then it hears you say, "Rich people are greedy," so the universe begins to suport you in not having much money. But then you think, "Having a lot of money makes life so much more enjoyable," so the poor universe, dazed and confused, restarts sending you opportunities for more money. The next day you're in an uninspired mood so you think, "Money's not that important." The frustrated universe finally screams "Make up your frickin' mind! I'll get you what you want, just tell me what it is!"

p 69 This is the warrior's way. No excuses, no ifs, no buts, no maybes--and failure is not an option. The warrior's way is simply: "I will be rich or I will die trying."

p 73 Wealth File #4: Rich people think big. poor people think small. "Everything changed the moment I began to think big." I refer you to the law of Income, w hich states, "You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace."

p 76 The world doesn't need more people playing small. it's time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. it's time to stop needing and start leading. it's time to start sharing your gifts instead of hoarding them or pretending they don't exist. It's time you started playing the game of life in a "big" way.

p 80 Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don't want. Again, the universal law states, "What you focus on expands." Because rich people focus on the opportunities in everything, opportunities abound for them...because poor people focus on the obstacles in everything, obstacles abound for them and their biggest problem is handling all the incredible obstacles they see.

p 92 Resenting the rich is one of the surest ways to stay broke. We are creatures of habit, and to overcome this or any other habit, we need to practice. Instead of resenting rich people, I want you to practice ADMIRING rich people, I want you to practice BLESSING rich people, and I want you to practice LOVING rich people. That way, unconsciously you know that when you become rich, other people will admire you, bless you, and love you instead of resent the heck out of you the way you might do them now.

Bless that which you want. if you see a person with a beautiful home, bless that person and bless that home... The point is, if you resent what people have, in any way, shape or form, you can never have it!

p 97 (people in your life with nonsupportive energy)...I respect myself and my life and i deserve to be as happy and successful as possible. they way I figure it, there are over 6.3 billion people in the world and there's no way I'm going to saddle myself with a downer. Either they move up or I move on!

Again, energy is contagious: either you AFFECT people or you INFECT people. The same holds true the opposite way around; either people affect you or infect you.... "Birds of a feather flock together." Did you know that most people earn within 20 percent of the average income of their closest friends? That's why you'd better watch whom you associate with and choose whom you spend your time with carefully.

p 100 My friends, it's not about "touching" millionairs, it's about deciding that you are just as good and worthy as they are, and then acting like it.

p 107 Wealth Principle: The secret to success is not to try to avoid or get rid of or shrink from your problems; the secret is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than any problem.

p 113 Wealth Principle: If you say you're worthy, you are.
If you say you're not worth, you're not.
Either way you will live into your story.

p 121 Say to yourself, hand on your heart: I AM AN EXCELLENT RECEIVER. I AM OPEN AND WILLING TO RECEIVE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY INTO MY LIFE: Touch your head and say.."I have a millionaire mind!"

p 137 Wealth File #13 Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people focus on their working income.

p 143 Wealth Principle: Where attention goes, energy flows and results show.

p 147 Wealth Principle: Until you show you can handle what you've got, you won't get any more!

p 153 Wealth Principle: Either you control money, or it will control you.

p 167 Wealth Principle: Action is the "bridge" between the inner world and the outer world.

p 169 Wealth Principle: If you are willing to do only what's easy, life will be hard. but if you are willing to do what's hard, life will be easy.

p 171 Wealth Principle: The only time you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable.
