When I first heard about a book called the science of getting rich I had to find it and read it, the title intrigued me so much and really got me thinking, is there really a science to getting rich? Can making money and becoming wealthy really come down to a science that you can follow and get exact results regardless or who you are and what back ground you are from? Can it really be as simple as learning your times tables and get an exact result depending what equation you had to work out?

For over 10 years now I have read personal development books, gone to endless seminars and drowned my brain with audio programs ranging from self hypnosis, self help and business mastery programs. After a while you notice patterns that underlie all the programs and books which is you are what you think you about most of the time.

It is our beliefs that shape your reality – for many years’ people thought or believed it was impossible to run a mile in under 4 minutes until Roger Bannister did it on May 6, 1954. Now it is common to see people run a mile under 4 minutes.

I am sure you have heard the saying ‘if you think you can or you think you can’t you are right.’ Our brains have a conscious part and a sub conscious part, what many of us forget is how powerful our subconscious mind is. If you think for a moment right now your heart is beating, you have blood cells that are dying off and new one being created, this happens thousands of times every minute of every day you are alive. What controls all of this? It is your subconscious mind.  Have a look at some of these facts:

As you can see it is really your non conscious mind that runs and dictates most of what happens in your life. So the question is how do you imprint and influence your non conscious mind to make it bring you what you want.

In the book The Answer by John Assaraf and Murray Smith they describe a 6 step process of doing just that in relation to creating wealth. They call it The 6 Steps Of Neural Reconditioning.

Step 1 – Create a new vision of your financial and business success. Make it emotionally rich and crystal clear.  When creating your vision includes three important numbers of what you want (a) your net worth (b) annual income (c) annual contribution. You must be 100% clear on what you want to achieve, there is no ambiguity involved in the way quantum universe works, and there can be no ambiguity in the seed you create for your future. There is where you are planting the seed to grow your future.

Step 2 – Create powerful declarations and affirmations that support that new vision. Now that you have your clear vision created you need to ensure your everyday moment to moment beliefs are in line with what you want to achieve. This step is critical, because if you try to realize a new vision while maintaining old beliefs that do not support that vision you will have a classic case of mixed messages.

The key to writing effective affirmations is that they must be bold, clear, positive, and stated in the present tense.

Step 3 – Develop emotional anchors for neural linking. If I asked you what you were doing January 8^th 2002, unless it was your birthday you probably won’t remember. However if I asked you what you were doing on September 11 2001 you can most likely recall where you were and even what you were doing. Why? Because this day has emotional charge for most people. This is an example of neutal linking and you want to use it to strengthen and deepen the impact of your new beliefs and affirmations.

First you want to search your memory banks for a positive event in your life that was especially empowering, a moment where you felt a thrill of accomplishment, excitement or triumph.  Now relive that experience and jot down the elements that stand out to you, it could be a smell, colours, feeling, etc. Now do that again and when you are at a peak moment in the visualization choose one of your affirmations and repeat it to yourself. This will imprint the power and emotion of that accomplishment to one of your affirmations.

Step 4 – Prepare a portfolio of imprinting material, which may include written, auditory, visual, and subliminal pieces. These are simply physical materials of your vision and affirmations that you can feed to your non conscious brain through your senses. Some common examples are written statements, audio recordings, picture and vision boards, etc.

Step 5 – Maintain a brief daily routine of reconditioning techniques, three times a day (on waking, midday, before bed) Now that you have prepared all the your tools to grow your vision this is where the real work starts and you and it all over to your non conscious brain. You can accomplish this in as little as 30 minutes a day, remember that more you do it the quicker it will imprint on your non conscious brain and the quick it will bring the events in the physical form. However it is not how long you do it for it is more how you do it. What you want to do is spend a few minutes meditating and then after you mediate you want to visualize your goals and dreams for a few minutes. Run a mental movie and see yourself doing and living your vision, perhaps being picked up by a limo to take you to your private jet, or visiting a new school you have just built in Vietnam.

Step 6 – Employ various forms of neurotechnology to reinforce these images throughout the day. We live in wonderful times where we have access to huge amount of technology; it is good to employ some of this to help you with your imprinting. For example there is subliminal software available that will play your affirmations to you ‘invisibly’ on your computer screen, there are audio program that can help you mediate deeper and have subliminal audio played over in your own voice. If you use these technologies it will make the process easier and more consistent.

Repetition + Impact = New Reality.

We all want something?

Ask yourself the question “If you had no limitations what so ever what would you do?

The next question “Are you doing it?” why not? Ok, before you start with all the excuses and reasons why you are not doing what you are doing, think about this quote from peak performance coach Tony Robbins “The only thing standing in way of you and your goals is the story you have to tell why you don’t have them”

If you have read any self help book or program I am sure you have heard how important it is to decide on exactly what you want and write them down. If you have seen the movie the secret or heard about the law of attraction you have probably tried manifesting your goals by saying affirmations, visualisation or a number of other techniques.

So why don’t you still have what you desire?

This is a common problem for many in fact you may have even taken a closer look at you belief system to discover what beliefs are holding you back and what new empower beliefs you can install to get you closer to your dreams.

For years I did all of this and I did get some great results however nothing like I read about. My life didn’t all of a sudden change 180 degrees and all the money didn’t start falling out of the sky like many of these gurus claim happened to them.

Now before I go any further I am defiantly not saying that all the affirmations, visualisation, goals setting, etc is a waste of time. In fact it is extremely important and you need to get clear as Joe Vitale would say and remove your limiting beliefs and install more empowering ones. However what many people miss or like I was too afraid to do was to take impulsive inspired action.

Think back to when you were a child, if you wanted to do something you did it. If you felt like playing with the cat you did, if you felt like throwing the cat out the window you did, if you got the impulse to put peanut butter on your hand and stick it in the DVD player you did.

As we get older we get conditioned by parents, teachers, siblings and almost everyone around us. Don’t do this don’t do that? And the problem is over time as you want to do something you begin to think is this ok? Instead of just doing it.

This is where the key to the lock really is. Once you have set your intentions and gotten clear on exactly what you want. Visualize and really get the feelings of having it and then ACT! Take action and take action NOW!

Take impulsive inspired action! How do you know it is inspired action, it will feel right, ask your body or heart. Your body will always tell y9ou the truth, if you feel comfort, ease, excitement, etc then it is the right action, even if it doesn’t seem logical. If your body or heart feels weak, not at ease, etc then it probably is not the right action. Have faith in yourself and expect your desires and dreams to come true and they will.

If you take impulsive inspired action you will have achieve your desires and dreams quicker than you ever thought possible.

With Love and Thanks
