Happy Thanksgiving to all my US and Canadian friends. In the spirit of giving, I have another quick tip that will have you stuffing your Turkeys with fat stacks of franklins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a warning that I\u2019m about to get a bit \u201cwoo woo\u201d on you, so go grab your crystals and manifestation journals and get ready to have your chakras attuned to the MONEY CHANNEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As promised, I\u2019m going to share the \u201cone weird money trick\u201d I learned from one of the world\u2019s most accomplished marketing minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The late Dan Kennedy was not only brilliant, but loaded as heck. He also helped many of his students become incredibly wealthy, so my ears would perk right up whenever he talked about making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing about Dan is that he was extremely grounded, practical, and effective. He was definitely a numbers guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which made it all the more surprising that he harped so much on this weird method, which looked more like something from the pages of the \u201cThe Secret,\u201d than something backed by hard science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he was 100% convinced that it worked like gangbusters, so I felt compelled to give it a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And before I gift you with this golden nugget, let me tell you a quick story\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, I took a day trip to Mohonk Mountain House in upstate NY. I try to go at least once a year but haven\u2019t been back since covid put the kibosh on their famous buffet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the new guidelines, I had to settle for a meager lunch prix-fixe that was way over-priced for what you got. (But you\u2019re paying for the whole experience, and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re struggling just like everyone else, so I happily coughed up the coin.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upfront payment included fees and tips but I left my waiter an extra $20. Being a stand-up guy, he quickly let me know that no additional tip was necessary since it was included in the price of the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was aware of this and told him he deserved it. (I waited tables for years and know how stressful it is.) We shook hands and I took off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I got home and checked my mailbox, I found a check inside from some class action settlement for defective toothbrushes, or whatever. I had no clue where it came from but all money is good money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tore open the envelope and found a check for $20.91.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Straight voodoo magic, for realz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, I haven\u2019t lost my marbles. Yes, I understand that this is just one silly incident. Definitely a weird coincidence. Nothing to see here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I can assure you that these \u201ccoincidences\u201d started happening quite frequently, ever since I started applying Dan Kennedy\u2019s mystical money trick. These were his instructions\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMake sure you\u2019re giving away a portion of your income, and be sure to do this without expecting anything in return. This act near-guarantees that you will make even more money without expending any additional effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to bother taking a stab at why this works (because we\u2019ll get stuck in the realm of metaphysics), but just take my word for it that it worked for me, and for everyone else I\u2019ve told about it. It also worked for all of Dan\u2019s students and it\u2019ll work for you, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, we talked about the false limiting beliefs that \u201cmoney is evil\u201d and \u201chaving money will lead to bad things.\u201d One way to offset this concern is to use your money to do GOOD things. The more money you make, the more you\u2019ll have to spend on helping others, so you can use this principle as a motivating factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mormons have tithing built into their code of conduct and are asked to gift 10% of their earnings to the church (using an honor system).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I highly recommend this practice, along with wearing their magic underwear to prevent temptation. (Without my special undies, I\u2019d have no way to stop myself from pouncing on top of the Mindvana girls.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best part is that you can start applying this principle immediately, even if you\u2019re nearly broke. Start giving away 5% of your weekly income. (If you only made $50 this week then give away $2.50.) You could do this on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Just be sure to be consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it doesn\u2019t matter who you give your money to or for what purpose (you can give it to charities, buy people random gifts, etc.). Just let yourself feel a desire to help others and make sure you feel good about the process of giving it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There shouldn\u2019t be any focus on what you expect in return (either from the person or the universe). Just assume you\u2019ll get nothing back and do it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it ALWAYS comes back to you – maybe not in the form of exploding toothbrush settlements, but the universe will find a way to return the favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have your own business (or a side business) you\u2019ll likely find your income starting to rise over time, without any additional effort on your part. (You don’t need a side-biz to reap the benefits but ti certainly makes things easier.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, it\u2019s weird, I know. (And I can tell you stories that are much weirder.) But I still have no clue what makes my vacuum cleaner turn on when I plug it into that hole in the wall, and it still works, regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worst case scenario, this turns out to be just a big load of hooey. If so, I can assure you that won\u2019t even miss that 5% or 10% of your money that you gave away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ve got nothing to lose so go test it out for yourself and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And once you find yourself being gifted with random settlement checks (hopefully to the tune of millions), then you might want to part with .00001% of that money so you can see me suit up in my magic underwear, as I struggle to resist the charms of the 10 lovely Mindvana Lite Ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who knows\u2026 you might even learn a method that could lead to having dozens of eager girls showing up at your doorstep, forcing you to wage you own battles against sinful temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Turkey Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
