The Law of Attraction
Why are we discussing The Law of Attraction? Because we belive in it - it works.
On the Automatic Sponsoring blog you will also learn specific nuts and bolts applications of attraction marketing that will have prospects coming to you, clamering to sign up for your program.
Here is a definition of The Law of Attraction from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;
This article is about the New Thought principle. For the scientific and historical laws, see Laws of attraction. For the film, see Laws of Attraction.
The phrase Law of Attraction, although used widely by New Thought writers, has a variety of definitions. Turn-of-the-century references conceptualized the law of attraction as relating to physical structure and to how matter develops. A more modern consensus among New Thought thinkers is that the Law of Attraction says people's thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) dictate the reality of their lives, whether or not they're aware of it. Essentially "if you really want something and truly believe it's possible, you'll get it", but putting a lot of attention and thought onto something you don't want means you'll probably get that too.
Widespread popular interest for the law of attraction reached its peak after the release of the The Secret, a 2006 cinematic release. After the film's release, the book, Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham, by and Jerry Hicks made the New York Times Best Sellers list, drawing more attention and interest to this topic. Prior to this, the couple had been in the field since the '80s. In 2007, Oprah Winfrey began a series of interviews during her talk show on the law of attraction.
* Since many of the claims of the law of attraction appear impossible without violating established scientific principles and our understanding of the universe, it has received criticism from the scientific community. Physicist Ali Alousi, for instance, criticized it as unmeasurable (and therefore unscientific) as well as questioning the likelihood that thoughts can affect anything outside the head. The Associated Press is also quoted as saying that "some medical professionals suggest it could even lead to a blame-the-victim mentality and actually be dangerous to those suffering from serious illness or mental disorders".
* Response; Now I don’t know about you but sometimes I think our “scientific community” is blinder than a bevy of dingbats on a bright sunny day. They say the Law of Attraction’s results are unmeasurable. That’s just closed minded. The mind is like a parachute, if it doesn’t stay open – well – the results won’t be pretty - hair, teeth and eyeballs all over the landscape.
If the scientists can put a monkey in a cage, observe him, take notes, record their observations, measure the results of behaviour modification and come to scientific conclusions – then – why on earth can they not put a human in a real life situation, have him apply the principles and techniques of The Law of Attraction, observe him, take notes, record their observations, measure the results of behaviour modification and come to scientific conclusions?
There are numerous examples of spectacular results when the principles of The Law of Attraction are applied!
History is filled with successful leaders and most of them were willing and even eager to share the secrets of their success with others. Andrew Carnegie shared his secrets with Napoleon Hill and encouraged him to interview the great successes of his time. Men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, Harvey Firestone, Woodrow Wilson, John Wanamaker, George Eastman, F.W. Woolworth and the list goes on and on. Napoleon Hill found that these great men had much in common. One thing they all shared was the use of goal setting and visualization which are two of the core principles of the Law of Attraction.
Jim Carey
Some years ago I saw Jim Carey being interviewed by Barbara Walters. Jim told her about how a few years earlier, when he was still a struggling comic and washing dishes part time, he wrote a check to himself for $10,000,000. He dated it November 1995, and tucked it away in his wallet. In the Fall of 1995 he signed a $10,000,000 contract to film “THE MASK”.
Bruce Lee
A framed original copy of a contract hangs on display in the Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas. The contract with the word “SECRET” written across the top in red letters reads as follows:
MY DEFINITE CHIEF AIM
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental Super Star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting in 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness. Bruce Lee, January 1969.
Bruce Lee’s life was cut short but there is no question that he more than reached his goal by the end of 1980.
George Burns
George Burns, actor and comedian, understood goal setting.
George had an outstanding career in Hollywood. Although his Burns and Allen performances with his wife Gracie were well accepted in his early career, his super success came in later years, after the age of 80. He was so successful at his craft that he was selected to play GOD in a couple of movies. It was George’s goal to reach 100 years of age. George died at age 100. Perhaps both George and Bruce should have set their goals a little further out.
In 1952 a poll was taken among the current Yale University graduating students. One of the questions asked was whether the students had definite goals in place or not. It was found that only 3% of them had goals set. In 1972, almost twenty years later, the students were again contacted to see what they had achieved. The results were astonishing! It was found that not only had the 3% achieved more than the others but that the net worth of that 3% exceeded the other 97% combined! Of course, money doesn’t indicate success in all things but it is a good yardstick to measure with in today’s society. So as you can see, goal setting is very important. But what kind of goals should you set? You should dream big and establish goals larger than yourself. You should visualize yourself already having accomplished these goals. You should review and visualize these goals daily.
You should have a lifetime goal. As you travel on life’s journey you need a destination. If you don’t have a destination you will surely get lost along the way.
‘Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?’ ‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat.
‘I don’t much care where—’said Alice.
‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.

More - Better - Bigger - Faster - Easier
Hi, and welcome to Automatic-Sponsoring, my name is Dave Carter, many of you already know me as the author of The Freedom Formula, the book that has changed many lives and set those lives on the road to personal and financial freedom.
If you haven’t read The Freedom Formula, I encourage you to get it and read it as soon as possible. You will find your copy at http://www.amazon.com/ http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ http://www.abebooks.com/ or most other book re-sellers. We will be using many of the principles of success found in The Freedom Formula when we lay out the exact procedures that will take you to your goal of building a giant networking organization automatically.
You are going to learn how to sponsor more people into your organization. You will learn how to build a better functioning sales team. You will see your down line grow bigger than you ever thought possible. I’m here to tell you that when you use Automatic-Sponsoring techniques it really is easier to build larger and faster than it is to continue struggling with your inefficient methods that are bringing you ineffective results.
Imagine how you will feel when you start living the life you so richly deserve.
The problem that most of us have encountered in trying to improve our situations is that we have used techniques that were programmed into us in the government monopoly school system.
We have been taught;
You get ahead by hard work and determination
You need to keep your nose to the grindstone
You have to use your willpower
No rest for the weary
Stay within the lines
Speak when spoken to
Don’t ask questions
Do as you are told
Wait your turn
Obey Authority
But when we applied those methods and obeyed those rules by going to work for Corporate America did we find the American Dream?
No – what we found is that as long as we work for someone else we are only helping them achieve their dreams.
We knew that as long as we were on someone else’s payroll we were only a participant in someone else’s dream.
Most of those who have tried to adhere to “the path of success prescribed by the establishment”, have given up after a time in utter frustration.
Many of you have come to the conclusion that “The American Dream” is a crock. After busting your butt and doing as you were told, you find that instead of “Just a Bowl of Cherries”, your life is “Just a Big Bucket of Bull Pucky”.
What we were never taught…indeed, what they didn’t want us to know, was that mastering those “principles of success” prescribed by the state programming machine, the public school system, will only make us good obedient workers for someone else.
So then –we tried to break free – become entrepreneurial and start a home based business of our own. What happened? We were given a whole new outdated set of rules by which we were going to realize the American Dream.
· Make a list
· Become a salesperson overnight
· Pester your friends and family
· Use the 3 foot rule
· Spend money on advertisements
· Do home parties
And guess what – if you are still using the methods taught by 96% of the MLM companies out there – you are even worse off than when you were grinding out those long tedious hours in Corporate America.
So what’s the answer? How can you possibly get to the other side of the money?
Well, first of all let me congratulate you. If you are in a home based, networking business – you have found the right vehicle.
Your instincts were right. The stories you have heard about folks getting large checks and residual income to last generations – well those stories are true. There is nothing out there that compares to the network marketing industry. Where else can you get involved with a business that has the potential to put millions of dollars in your pocket with an upfront investment, in most cases, of under 500 dollars?
The problem is – 95% of you who try network marketing will fail within the first year. So how do you become one of the 5% who win the magic networking lottery? You just need to know how market your business with 21st Century methods.
Let me put it this way;
The other day, while I was giving a presentation, I asked a member of the audience. “Joe, let’s say you and I were both taking a trip. I was going to a city a thousand miles away but you were going only 50 miles – who would get to their destination first?” Joe said, “Well I would of course.” Can you guess why Joe’s answer was wrong? Joe didn’t have all the information. You see, I was taking a plane to my destination and Joe was driving a horse and buggy.
Now listen up. This is very important.
If you are not using modern technology by marketing your opportunity on the internet – you are still driving a horse and buggy to work.
When you apply the techniques you will learn with Automatic Sponsoring you will see the ease with which your networking enterprise will fall into place.
Now I’m not going to sit here and tell you that you can just snap your fingers and presto you will wake up in the morning with a giant organization. But what I am going to tell you is this;
If you follow the steps laid out for Automatic-Sponsoring. If you do the processes and implement the strategies exactly as they are explained – then my friend – you will experience a growth that will start small but soon gather momentum and then that elusive success will be yours.
On these pages you will learn the exact methods to bring your dreams to reality. Stop by on a regular basis and you will soon be living the dream.
