Have you ever heard the saying that successful people make decisions quickly? The same goes for wealthy people, they make a yes or no decision, and then move forward based on the decision that they make.

One of the most common blockages to manifesting wealth is procrastination. We umm and awww over what is the right thing to do, maybe we are not following the right road, or maybe we should be doing something completely different.

Another common blockage is when you have been practicing manifestation techniques for some time, but have not yet seen any results. Some people get disheartened, thinking that maybe it is not working, and so they give up on their goals.

This is not the way to successfully manifest wealth. Manifesting wealth is a journey. You have to be positive about what you want to achieve on that journey, and never have any doubt that you will be able to get there.

No matter what your desires are, whether it is to have one million dollars, own a multi-million dollar company, or simply to be free of all debt, focus on what you want to achieve and know that you are going to get it.

Every day when you wake up, think about your goal and how great you are going to feel when you achieve it, be grateful for your journey so far and all the good things that are in your life. When opportunities present themselves to help you reach your goal – go for it! Don’t waste a moment in maybe!

“When I make my first million, then I will buy that dream house.”

“When I lose 15 pounds, then I will buy that dress I really want.”

“When I save up a little more, then I will start that business.”

The WHEN THEN statements you make in life directly cause you never to get what you desire.  These statements send a strong message to your subconscious that you do not trust or do not have any faith in the desire becoming a reality.

This is because you are putting off things you really want and desire UNLESS something else happens first.

Get rid of the WHEN THEN statements.  If you find yourself having one, instead say to yourself that the WHEN is already on its way into your life.

In fact, I recommend that you go the other way and make a small gesture to yourself as a sign that you know it is on the way.

For example, if you are waiting to make a million dollars so you can buy your dream home, do certain things such as look at magazines or search the Internet for that dream home.  Buy a picture or something that you would buy to start decorating that dream home.

If you are waiting to buy some nice clothes until you lose some desired weight, go to the store WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE and try on clothes you will want.

Similarly, if you are looking to start a business but waiting for some future event.  Pretend the event has happened and start to make small gestures of what you would do to move that business forward.

If you do this (drop the WHEN THENS and replace them with positive affirmations AND make gestures towards those desires), your reality will change toward the manifestation of those desires.

Just Do It and you will see.

Every manifestation method contains some element of visualization – this is because it has proven to work over and over again.

Think of the best athletes in the world.  They use focused and intense visualization to increase their skills and success in their sports.  Michael Jordan visualizes baskets going in before he shoots.  Golfers spend hours during their practices with detailed visualization of hitting the ball just perfectly and the golf ball travelling and landing in the perfect place.

I heard about a recent strudy where average high school basketball players were divided into three groups.  They all took a foul shot test.  Then they were divided into three groups.  For the next two weeks, group one went out and practiced foul shots for 20 minutes a day every day.  Group 2 did nothing and Group three visualized themselves shooting and making foul shots in their mind (for 20 minutes a day).

At the end of the two weeks, both Groups 1 and 3 evidenced a 23% improvement when shooting foul shots while Group 2 remained at the same level as before.

Now here is the thing- the visualization is of the desired END RESULT.  People who use this method with success do not focus on how or exactly what needs to be done to get the end result- the picture focuses on the end result happening.

That is all you need to do.  By doing this often and consistently, your subconscious mind will do all the work required to make it happen in reality.  This is the result of your visualization creating the right energy in the world and your subconscious leveraging such energy to do its magic.

When you are working on a desired outcome, create a detailed vision of it already being present in your life. . . attach strong emotion to the vision and repeat often.

Have you heard of the butterfly effect? It is a phenomenon where just one little change made today will create huge results and outcomes later.  If you have not heard of it, look it up on the Internet.  There is the famous example of how one butterfly flapping its wings a certain way in Rio de Janeiro can significantly affect what kind of weather shows up on a certain day in Chicago!

The butterfly effect applies to human nature in the same way it applies to mother nature.  What this means is that small changes in the way you think and behave can create drastically different outcomes in your life.

We have all had one of those days where something negative happened first thing in the morning and by focusing on it and letting it bother you, you release negative energy which in turns creates other negative and frustrating things throughout your day. Believe it or not, if instead, you isolated the incident and chose to not let it affect your mood and energy- the entire day would have been different.

So, it not only affects your day but it can also affect your entire life.  Here is how to make the butterfly effect work to your advantage.

START OFF EVERY DAY with 5-10 minutes by repeating positive affirmations and imagining something wonderful happening.  If I am working on a business project, I might say something like “today we are going to have a major breakthrough in sales and make $x in sales.”  And I say it every morning until it happens!

If it is a Saturday and my kids have soccer, I say an affirmation like “today they are going to play hard, each score a goal, be safe and learn to love the game a little more!”

If there is nothing in particular you want to focus on, you can use a general affirmation like “amazing things are going to happen to me today. . .”

By saying affirmations and attaching positive energy to them, you are aligning the positive creative force of the universe to support you.  Do this every day and over a period of a month, a year and even a lifetime, you will have unbelievable experiences in your life.

So, in summary, know that the butterfly effect is a phenomenon that has been proven in science to work.  Apply it to your life to more quickly succeed in manifesting the life you desire.

I like to remind people of the age old question about what they see when they see a glass that is filled 50% with water.  Is it half-empty or half-full?

Manifestation is all about focusing your energy on positive outcomes in your life.  This is impossible to do if you perceive everything that is happening in your life as something bad or negative.  This self imposed perception is not real but it does cause your reality to be filled with more negativity.

So, when you reflect on your current life, instead of focusing on what is not working, think more about what is working?

And then, when you have done that, you will open yourself up to visualizing even better possibilities. Changing your thoughts and perceptions will change your life.  Doing this goes to the essence of wealth manifestation because it puts you on the right path to create your reality.

The important thing is to do this day in and day out.  I find the easiest way to do this is to have gratitiude for every little good thing that happens.  And, when things do not go the way I want, I always search for the blessing in the event- and this is a good thing.

When I started doing this consciously and consistently, my wealth manifestation accelerated.
