Let me tell you how this worked for me…
I was inspired to go to massage school. It was after I had gotten well enough to get out again and meet people, after recovering from Lyme disease.
I liked the idea of helping others with a therapeutic touch. Touch is my love language. Since it was a passionate pursuit, doors opened for me spontaneously.
Faith seemed to make the impossible, possible. As things were moving forward, I was told that no one in my family could help me with the tuition required to get into school. I hit a roadblock, or so it appeared.
In spite of hearing this, I decided IN FAITH to go and meet with the owner of the school. He was a very funny and charismatic man. The problem was; he liked making money. He was a businessman. I was worried.

He asked me how I was going to pay for the classes. I told him that it wasn’t possible. This was my first true leap of faith after being bedridden for quite some time.
He walked away to gather his thoughts…
After a few moments, as he pondered what I just said, he offered me a job to pay for my tuition. It was an easy job and it solved both of our problems.
Faith unlocked the door for me. mind told me to “hold (or call)” and keep the massage schooling as a backup plan, just in case. But it was no longer my excitement.
Instead, I folded. I opted-out. I focused entirely on my new job at the nutrition store. I loved being there!
The prospect of doing massages all day began feeling upstream.
I suppose it was exciting to learn how to do massage, but the actual “work” felt upstream – doing it every day was not exciting to me anymore.
The store soon became a prospective business ownership opportunity. This was even more exciting to me!
I began taking this thought into my ABC Break process. I’d imagine myself running the store, making people happy, and getting stronger and healthier myself.
Day after day, I’d take my ABC Break in the downtime. I did this about two to six times each day, for a few minutes each time.
It wasn’t a long and drawn out process. I’d crank my absolute favorite song and get the goosebumps and BE the person (in my mind’s eye) living as the successful business owner and picture of perfect health. Usually, one song was enough.
My exact vision did not manifest. Something better did!
While doing the ABC Break process, I was becoming an open conduit to HIGHER thoughts. Since I was operating at a new, higher level of BEING in my mind’s eye.
Living from this perspective opened up miraculous opportunities for ALLOWING…
I became inspired to sell some of the products online.
The store was not doing this. I listed products online and made a few sales here and there.
One day, an epiphany came and I listed a bodybuilding stack “review” video on YouTube. The idea excited the heck out of me and I pursued it.
I wanted to HELP OTHERS discover the benefits I had
A L L O W by the fruitful new orders coming in, daily.
I paid attention to what the market was telling me…
This is when I RAISED and upped the ante. I went all in! It was time to make my move and claim a bigger vision.
I borrowed $7k from a business colleague and friend.
He gave me the seed money to develop my own brand of products and birth my own bodybuilding company, online.
I did it because it made me very excited and the market had indicated my formula was working. If it didn’t succeed, I would have liquidated the products and paid off the seed capital loan I borrowed.
But this was my moment!
Within 30-days, I was already earning over $10k per month, just from free YouTube videos and landing pages I developed. Even better, I was helping others to achieve the results I had obtained.
Other people were picking up on my excitement – it drew them in. It was real. The products really worked and people intuitively knew it. So the sales came
pouring in, daily. Again, I FOCUSED ON OTHERS.
In two months, things were going so well that I decided to get rid of distractions and fold my cards with products that the customers (market) indicated they wanted. I folded on that bad hand (the store) and raised the stakes on the winning hand – going all in.
I lost money on the physical store, but I made a ton more by raising the stakes where success was pouring in.
Important points that you can take away from my own personal journey – as it unfolded – are as follows:
1. I went “within” to solve problems that my mind didn’t have a clue how to solve. I had to go to a higher level of consciousness to allow the solutions from the “other side” of the problem.
2. At every turn, I acted in faith that the Universe would support my decision to choose happiness over priority.
When passion turned the corner, I did too.
3. I was feeling my highest “excitement” and this chronic state-of-being, therefore happiness was infused in all my actions, which magnetized success to me.

4. My focus was on others. The products really worked.
I wanted to solve a problem and help others experience the results I had achieved.
5. When something wasn’t working, I noticed by paying attention to what my external world revealed to me.
Unlike past endeavors, I folded and walked away from failures.
6. Most importantly, as things appeared fruitful and the
“market” (people’s responses) proved favorable to certain ideas, I upped the stakes and went all in, quickly.
