"The journey to financial freedom starts the MINUTE you decide you were destined for prosperity, not scarcity-- for abundance, not lack. Isn't there a part of you that has always known that? Can you see yourself living a bounteous life-- a life of more than enough?

It only takes one minute to decide.

Decide Now."

--The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G Allen

"When thinking about your money flow, say to yourself, There is a way, and I will definitely find it. This affirmation works well for almost all of life's little problems."

"The first is desire; you've got to want it. the second is belief. You've got to believe you can make money. Lots of it. The third is self-acceptance. You've got to believe you deserve to be wealthy-- to your very core. If one of these is out of alignment, your energy is diffused, ineffective."

--The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G Allen

"To liberate yourself, you have to review what it is you believe about abundance and finances so that you can fashion an appropriate battle plan that will take you from struggle into flow, from skimpy into lush."

"You see, there really isn't any shortage in the world. The universe is bigger than our egos and can supply more than we can demand. Our job is to simply and honestly ask for what we want [...] Allow the universe, the power in everything to arrange the right person, place, and time. Your job is to state your intention. "

--The Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale

"Many people in poverty consciousness thinks that money shrinks when you give it away (100% - 10% = 90%). The Enlightened Millionaire knows that money acually expands in the spiritual dimension (100% x 10% = 1000%). This is spiritual math. Tithing is a money multiplier, not a money subtractor. "

"Finding and creating your life's work will bring you more abundance than any other single action you can take.

--The Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale

"You do not need to be affected by the economy or man-made conditions. You can create your own personal economic environment of prosperity. If you are willing to listen to and take action on your inner guidance, you will do well no matter what the economy around you is doing."

"What is my relationship with money? How well have I used its energy? How is this a mirror for the way I handle other forms of energy in my life? These may be the most important questions you will ever ask. When you know the answers, your path to a fulfilled life will become clearer, as if a knowledgeable, kindly guide had forged ahead of you into the wilderness, clearing a road just for you."
