Lesson 1: The Secret That Gets You The Money You Want

Stuart Lichtman

Namesomething you want. It can be a weight-loss goal, a money goal, a sales quota, a new house, a relationship, etc. It's entirely up to you. Since my book is about money, think about your money goals. How much more money are you seeking, anyway? A hundred dollars? Thousands? A million?

Now let me ask you a blunt question: Why don't you have it yet? Why don't you have the thinner body, or more money, or whatever it is you said you wanted?

Well?

Now let me tell you something shocking: The fault isn't with the economy, your parents, your spouse, your neighbors, your mayor, the president or anyone or anything outside of you. So, what's the secret to making life a joy? What's the secret to creating more money now? And what's the answer to why you haven't achieved your goals yet?

It's in your own mind.

No, not in your thoughts. Not in your conscious mind.The roadblock is deeper. It's where you rarely look. It's in your un-conscious. In short, if there is something you are trying to achieve--you name it--and you aren't achieving it, chances are your unconscious holds some contradictory intentions for you.

Said another way, you want something and it doesn't.

If you are typical, you are constantly giving yourself contradictory instructions-like "I want to lose weight" and "I want that luscious piece of pie."

Notice anything odd about them?

Those statements are going in different directions.After years of such frustrating and contradictory messages, your unconscious gives up and starts to disregard what you consciously want.

In other words, you canceled out your own request. You said, "I want money," but right after that you said (or thought), "I don't deserve it" or "Money never comes to me" or some other similar limiting belief.

As a result, you usually didn't get what you said you wanted!

But I have good news for you. All that can end now. You can learntwo simple three-step processesthat will put an end to the mental self-sabotage that has been holding you back. Now you'll finally be able to show your unconscious mind exactly how to let you achieve what you consciously want.

I said "simple," but that doesn't mean "easy." It won't happen automatically, just by holding these pages in your hand or thinking beautiful thoughts. There's no magic or hocus-pocus. But there is a method. And it can be called magical.

Read on and you'll learn about a tried and tested three step process that can transform your world and bring you all the riches you've ever imagined. I've proven this method will work by testing it on 50,000 people. Now you can prove it will work for you.

First, let me introduce you to the basic three steps:

1. Create a Targetthat defines what you want, one that is clearly understood by all aspects of your un-conscious mind. Think of the bull's eye of an archery target with its concentric circles enclosing a central red circle. Your unconscious mind needs something as clear as that circle, a target that indicates exactly what you want. 
2. Prioritize your Target-- Flag it so that you will remain unconsciously focused on it while you get on with your normal activities. Imagine a large crowd of people, all dressed alike in gray. Now picture one of them holding up your highly graphic bull's eye target with the bright red center. Chances are, the target is what will catch your eye. That's what happens in your unconscious mind when you have appropriately prioritized your target. 
3. Resolve any self-defeating un-conscious habit patternsthat can prevent you from achieving your target. Your unconscious habits govern what you normally do in a situation. The most efficient way to go through life is to do a lot of things on automatic - except when those automatic habit patterns get in the way. In other words, most people have unconscious mechanisms that sabotage their desire to hit the target. When you clear those, you are free to hit the mark. 

Think about driving a car. Most of what you do requires little conscious attention. You attend to the traffic, what's on the radio, the time, etc. You don't pay much attention to the numerous minor steering corrections, evaluating your distance from the cars on your right or left, slowing to adjust to the car in front of you, etc.

Now, remember what it was like when you first learned to drive. Every single thing required a conscious decision. Remember how tiring that was? Didn't your palms sweat? Didn't you hold your breath a lot?

The difference is that now, through repetition, you have created unconscious habit patterns that operate automatically, making things much easier. Those unconscious habit patterns persist, seemingly forever. That's why we say, "You never forget how to ride a bike." You're never going to forget how to drive a car, are you?

But driving a car is a simple example. And you've already accomplished it, most likely. But what about the things you want--like more money--that you don't yet have? What keeps stopping you from achieving that goal?

Some of your persistent, unconscious habit patterns don't work well for you any more. They can automatically block you from getting what you want. They are probably even operating right now, keeping you from getting more money (or any other target).

For example, an infant learns to cry when it is hungry. Crying is very effective for an infant. Cry, and someone pretty quickly comes to meet your needs. But this automatic response loses its effectiveness as we grow older. Think of someone you've seen in your business life. They're frustrated because they're not getting what they want. Their voice gets louder, they get red in the face, maybe they even wave their arms around or pound on a table.

Just like an infant when it is frustrated. Why? The unconscious habit pattern they learned as an infant is still working - but now it's working against them.

For you to be successful at things that seem impossible, those inappropriate unconscious patterns have to be changed into new habits that enhance your ability to get what you want. I call that "resolving unconscious habit patterns"- Clearing the unconscious of whatever prevents you from achieving your target. It's the third step in this magical 3-step process. It's fun. And it's very, very powerful.

Lesson 2 - How to Put the Attaintment of Your Goals on Auto Pilot

"My goal is to be rich by the end of the year." "My goal is to get more money fast!" "My goal is to have Donald Trump owing me money."

Those might be called goals, but chances are high that the person saying them will never achieve them.

Why? Because they simply aren't good targets. Most people set a goal, declare it their target, and then wonder why they don't hit it.

Why? Well, no one has ever explained the inner workings of the human mind quite like I do in my book, How to Get Lots of Money for Anything - Fast. You see, in the past, when you stated a desire and tried to achieve it, you didn't know that other parts of you may have other desires.

How to Set Your Target

Why do you have inner parts that may not want the same goal you say you want? I'll explain it to you. This is something virtually no one else has ever understood.

Your brain's activities are divided among four different systems, each involving a major part of your brain. Usually these parts are pulling you in different directions because they each speak a different language:

• The right brain is fluent in patterns of arrangement, rhythm, and sound. 
• The left brain's language is made up of words and logic. 
• The midbrain communicates in emotions. 
• The brainstem's language consists of physical stimulus and response. 

Your "rhythm section", the part of the brain that "speaks" the language of patterns, rhythm, and sound, is popularly known as the right brain. The "words and logic brain" is sometimes called the left brain. The emotionally fluent section is the midbrain. And the part that responds to physical stimulus is the brainstem.

You have probably experienced them all working together in harmony--and sometimes in conflict, battling and even sabotaging each other.

For example:

Why Dieting Sucks

This example ought to strike home for you:

Suppose you decide to go on a diet and write a resolution (words and logic). But when you arrive at the dinner table, you unconsciously grab a hot, fresh roll and bite into it before realizing that it will delay reaching your weight-loss goal (physical stimulus: sitting down to dinner - and response: eating a roll). Perhaps you get upset at yourself, muttering some obscenity (emotions) and, in response, rededicate yourself to holding to your diet (words and logic again). You refuse the potatoes and gravy (words and logic) and feel better about yourself. (emotions).

But pretty soon, something seems to be missing (your patterns are being violated). Meat without potatoes? You think (words and logic), "Where are the potatoes? Potatoes go with meat" (pattern).

Do you get a feel for what is happening? Do you sense the inner contradictions? No wonder dieting doesn't work!

Relax. It can be another way.

Framing

Not only are the four parts of your brain often in conflict, even when what you consciously want wouldn't create conflict, three parts usually don't know what that is! In other words, they won't give you what they don't know you want!

Why? Well, try the following simple exercise:

1. Close your eyes and imagine a yellow triangle perfectly centered within a red circle. 
2. Keep picturing that for as long as you can. At what moment do other ideas, thoughts, emotions, visual images, sounds, or feelings intrude? 
3. Note what intrudes. If you're typical and if you're honest with yourself, you didn't make it more than 3 seconds. 
4. What intruded is what I call, "your stream of consciousness." 

If you were trying to give someone else instructions and that included your stream of consciousness, they'd get totally confused.

For example, I'm focusing on writing this. Here's what it might sound like if I were describing what I want and including my stream of consciousness:

"I want to describe framing."
"My ear itches."
"Scratch it."
"Do I start with the word example or...?"
"Now the top of my head itches."
"I have to move my legs, they are crossed and feel uncomfortable."
"No, that's too complicated."
"Now my right eyebrow itches."
"And the top of my head."
"Oh, an email just came in."
"Maybe I should take a look."
"No, I should finish this section." Etc.

That's the sort of thing that goes on all the time. Check it out for yourself.

Also, notice that each time my unconscious intruded with a stream of consciousness experience, I not only recognized that experience but I consciously responded. My unconscious was listening to all of that.

How could it tell what was important and what was of little importance? How can it tell when the same thing goes on with you? The answer is: NORMALLY IT CAN'T!

It can't unless you frame what you want it to pay attention to.

Whoops! What's framing? Framing is simply the process of breaking things into logical elements. In this case, it means separating what you want from everything else that goes on in your "stream of consciousness." In effect, putting a bulls eye around what you want.

The Success And Failure Process

I'm going to show you what you might consider a ridiculously simple exercise in framing and instructing your unconscious. I call it the Success and Failure Process. In fact, it's so simple, you might think it's silly. But if you try it, you'll learn something important - as well as increasing your success rate.

1. Each day, take a clean piece of paper, divide it into two columns, write "successes" at the top of the left hand column and "failures" at the top of the right hand one. Then date the page.Under "successes," briefly note each of your successes that day, one per line. Include both the little and big ones. 
2. Similarly, under "failures," list each of what you perceive to be the day's failures. For example, take a look at my morning: 

   Successes

   - I remembered to water my plant.

   - I remembered to put the coffee on before I ran out to my meeting.

   - I remembered to send an email to my bank asking them to deliver the papers here.

   - I downloaded the free version of RealPlayer's Helix program and installed it.

   - I converted the updated Target Process audio I created yesterday to RealPlayer format.

   Failures

   - I forgot to close Netscape last night before making a backup so I got an error message.

   - I forgot to completely shut off the water in the sink and now the dripping is annoying me.

3. Then read through your success list. After reading each "success," remember the experience it refers to and say to yourself, "That's a success. I'd like more like of those!" 
4. Next read through your "failure" list. After each "failure," remember the experience and say to yourself, "That's a failure. I don't want any more of those!" 

If you do this every day, you will soon see that the daily list of successes increases and the list of failures decreases simply because you consciously framed the experiences that you consider successes and the ones that you consider failures and told your unconscious to focus on generating the former and reducing the latter.

What you focus on is an instruction to your unconscious. If you want more successes, focus on successes.

Easy, isn't it? Of course, what I just showed you is a baby step but it is an effective one.

Lesson 3 - How to Get Your Inner Forces Moving Towards the Same Goal

One of the more powerful things that we all know how to do is writing.

I'm not talking about "the power of the written word" sort of thing. I mean that writing is a powerful technique for creating a basic level of harmony among your often warring brain parts.

Think about it! When you write things down, you first mentally translate the intuitive signals created by your unconscious into words and then intuitively test to see whether the words you've selected match what those signals mean. When they seem right to you, you put words on paper.

For example, watch someone else writing when they don't know you' re looking. They will often hold their pen or pencil poised in the air while they look up. What's going on inside of them is the process of translating intuitive feelings into words. Then they will suddenly look down at the paper and start writing. That's because they got an intuitive signals that the words and phrases they were mentally rehearsing hadn't triggered an unconscious conflict - and what they were thinking about writing seemed consciously okay.

But they may stop, lift their pen or pencil and look up again before scratching out or erasing part of what they've written and continuing with something new. What's now going on is that they got intuitive signals of an unconscious conflict, a conflict among their brain parts - a conflict that was triggered by what they had written down - and they're responding to that signal by searching for words and phrases that no longer trigger that conflict.

This process continues until what they have written down triggers no further unconscious conflicts. In other words, until it seems right. At that point, they have achieved a basic level of harmony among their brain parts.

Let's Look A Little Deeper At What's Going On When You Write

As you write, you send visual, auditory, and tactile feedback to the various parts of your unconscious, your four brain parts. If those unconscious parts don't agree with what you're writing, you'll get intuitive feelings that things aren't right and usually scratch out or erase what you've written. This continues to the point where you get only positive intuitive signals about what you've written. At that point, the major parts of your brain are in at least preliminary agreement and you're consciously satisfied with what you have written.

Applying This

What I'm going to show you is pretty basic but it's definitely effective. I'm going to have you frame something and then create a basic level of harmony among your brain parts with respect to it.

Now, since this is a very basic process, don't pick something particularly difficult to achieve. For that, you need to use either the Basic Achievement Three-Step - if what you want is only moderately difficult, or the Super Achievement Three-Step - if you want to achieve something seemingly impossible for you. The Basic and Super Achievement processes are what's covered in my ebook, How to Get Lots of Money for Anything - Fast.

Okay, here's how this basic process works:

1. Focus on what you consciously want by writing a description. This explicitly frames your conscious intent. 
2. While you are thinking about whether you can and will achieve what you want, be alert for any uncomfortable feelings. If and when you experience any, describe them in writing. This explicitly frames any signs of unconscious conflict. 
3. Read over your written description of what you want, to identify the specific words or phrases that trigger these signs of unconscious conflict. 
4. Underline or circle the words or phrases that cause those feelings. This explicitly frames what triggers the unconscious conflict. 
5. Rewrite the words or phrases that you have marked. In this very familiar editing process, you are instructing your unconscious to do what it has often done before: to invent alternatives to what you first recorded. 

As you continue to edit, you are instructing your unconscious to keep coming up with more acceptable alternatives, bridging the gap between what you consciously want and your unconscious habit patterns.

When you reach a point where both your conscious and unconscious needs are met, the signs of conflict disappear. At that point, you have achieved a basic level of unconscious harmony, harmony among your four brain parts.

This is a preliminary target and, if you do the other two steps of the Basic Achievement Three-Step, prioritizing your Target and resolving any unconscious conflicts that your prioritized Target triggers, you'll get what you have asked for.

Simple, isn't it?
