I was right in the middle of watching American Idol and my stomach began cramping. I thought it must be a gassy tummy and assumed it’d go away shortly. I was wrong. I barely slept a wink that night because of the intense pain.

I had a very important list of tasks for the business that needed to be done the following day, but they all had to be chucked out the window. I couldn’t focus or tap into my creativity with all the doubling over pain.

I called one of my babysitters to come over that night to help with the kids because my mate was working late. Thirty minutes before her scheduled arrival time, she had to cancel. I wanted to cry. I called the rest of my tribe for help and they were all unavailable. There was only one thing left to do … make peace with my situation.

Keep in mind that I have a three year-old who never stops talking and a one year-old whose main mission is to climb up to high places and try to escape out of the house. It makes me fear for his life. There was no way I could chase my baby or even lift him up. Plus, I had a raging headache. The odds of us all surviving the night were slim.

But the oddest thing happened. Once I surrendered to having to take care of them, while crazy sick, things went pretty smooth. More smoothly than any evening I remember. My oldest son fetched me anything I asked for, kept hugging and kissing me and was simply an angel.

It’s truly one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in the past couple of years to take my implementation of the Law of Attraction to a whole other dimension.

It’s the same strategy I used last year in the final quarter to create my most profitable year yet. And that is saying a lot because it didn’t look like I was even going to reach six figures at the end of August. My knee-jerk reaction was to panic. But I know that never helps.

I decided to make 100% peace with my pitiful numbers. I even stopped caring about sales. If people bought from me, great. If they didn’t then that was fine, too. I really trusted that somehow, some way my finances would turn around.

And they did. Not only did they skyrocket but it happened lickity split. Once the money began to pileup, I began asking for more. I wanted to stay in appreciation and also know that this didn’t have to be a one-time avalanche of extreme prosperity.

I wasn’t afraid that my good luck would leave, but I was also at peace if it did. No negative emotions on the topic of money caused my whole situation to flip. I promise there was no other secret marketing strategy.

My secret is making peace with wherever I’m at, especially when things aren’t going my way. It’s not really a secret, it’s just challenging to believe that this is the only thing needed to make the switch. Our default is to take action. And the action is usually driven by the same energy that created the mess in the first place.

I also have to continuously make peace with the fact that I create the messes in my life. Often, that’s the hardest pill to swallow. But once I do, I feel good again.

What are ways you can make peace with your situation?

In today's society, so much is based on scales, decided by tests, and judged by comparison. It's no wonder that society, as a whole, has issues about achievement and the quest for success. Success, like most other things is viewed as a goal that has levels, and all too many people believe that they are incapable of achieving true success. Why is this? The universal Law of Equality states that the dreams and desires of each person are just as important as the next, as is their fulfillment. So everyone is free to pursue their goals since no one is predisposed to achieve success, and others are doomed to fail. But, this law is so often overlooked and feelings of inferiority ensue. This especially occurs when one compares their dreams and accomplishments to those of others.

In fact, when this happens, it is the Law of Belief that is most frequently being substituted, the law that says that beliefs create reality. So what happens when you think of Bill Gates, or Donald Trump? Do you look at them and think, "I'll never see in a lifetime the kind of money that they see in a year?" Or do you smile to yourself and say, "Not yet, but I'm working on it?" When you factor in the law of belief, can you see how much more successful a person will be with an "I think I can" attitude, versus an "I know I can't" attitude?

How can this awesome law of equality work for you? It will work when you focus on your perception of situations, accomplishments, and actions, and change them if you find yourself not measuring up to someone or something else. No one forces a person into a role without a little help. It is instead the person who allows them to be forced into a role.

This said, look at your perception of the kind of person that makes money, becomes a mega-star, or becomes the next Nobel Prize winner. Do any of these people look like you? If not, why not? Why should they be able to accomplish these things that are seemingly out of reach for you? In reality they are not out of reach for you, but you have to draw that conclusion on your own and determine how to really make that perception shift. Once you have the answer to that question, the next step is to do something about it. Would it be easier to reach your goal if you were better educated, dressed the part, or ran in the same circles as those that are where you'd like to be? Anything and everything is possible, and your job is to do what it takes to change your perception and make you believe it.

Would a reminder be all that is needed for you to remember that there is nothing keeping you from success? Reminding you that your dreams are as important and can be fulfilled just as readily as the next person? Do you need a motivating quote, or a daily affirmation that is strategically placed so that you can't help but see it often? In The One Minute Millionaire, Michelle was coached to wear a rubber band around her wrist and to give it a sharp snap each time she went back to a place of limitation, believing that she was incapable of succeeding.

Eventually she stopped frequenting that place, and when she did fall back into her habit, she recognized it for what it was, and beat a hasty retreat! Everyone needs a rubber band snap from time to time. The goal is for the need to become a rarity.

Your belief about what is possible is the core of the universal laws, and more directly, the key to success and abundance. The only boundaries that can be placed on you are self-inflicted. Shed your limitations and get ready to embrace your destiny and vision: the vision that you hold for yourself, full of passion, promise, happiness and success. If you want it, you can have it, YOU can create it. The universal laws are simply the tools to help you never again utter the words, "It coulda been me."

People often poke fun at the thought of having a magic wand. I don’t think there’s anything funny about making your life hard. We each have a magic wand called intention. You have to clarify your request and then make the decision that it will be so.

I’m one of millions (probably even billions) of people who have talked about this amazing Law of the Universe. It’s been taught throughout the ages.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:8

But the fact remains that most folks aren’t picking up their magic wands often enough. I used to grab mine only when I wanted something big … a vacation, a new car or new living space.

If you’re not asking for what you want internally and externally on a moment-to-moment basis, the greatest your life will be is ‘fine’. I’m asking you to make a conscious decision to make it off-the-hook GREAT! You’ve got to tap into the most powerful force in the Universe…your ability to deliberately create your right now moment and future moments.

Here are some circumstances where entrepreneurs may forget that there is a magic wand within reach:

• Clients who demand deadlines that stress you out
• Technical issues that stop all production
• Not enough time to complete what is on the ‘urgent’ list
• Childcare issues
• Inspiration and/or creativity comes to a screeching halt
• Someone on your team disappears off the grid
• Sales are inching along…s-l-o-w-l-y
• Your projects bore you
• Looking for expertise from a professional but don’t know who
• You need a partner
• You want to sell your business

Anything that you are currently experiencing in your business that slows down your progress or kills your mojo is the perfect opportunity to ask yourself:

1. What’s the real issue at hand?
2. What would be better?
3. If I could have anything I wanted regarding this issue, what would it be?

Then whip out that wand like your hair is on fire and decide right then and there that this situation will not only resolve itself, but you will get everything you want and more.

Sounds simple. To some this may be a joke. But it takes absolute power, internal alignment and confidence to trust that you are worthy of exactly what you want and then demand it from life.

Yeah, I said demand. Some of you think that demanding is not the way you ask God or Source for things. Really, God doesn’t care how you ask. Source energy is not judging what you want or how you be about it. It doesn’t care if the request is from ego or your most spiritual self.

Source energy is not judging what you want or how you are about it.

Why wouldn’t you ask for what you want in full expectation that it will be provided? It makes no sense to sit in a situation that takes the joy out of your business.

Your magic wand is powerful in ALL situations. Use liberally.

Ever wish that you could have the lifestyle of someone you truly admire? Perhaps it’s the lifestyle of the “rich and famous” like a movie star, or a singer? How do you think people would react if one day you decided to start acting like a “diva extraordinaire,” or a megastar actor? My guess is that your family might want to have you admitted for observation. Would the ramification be any less serious if you instead decided to imitate your next door neighbor or business mentor? Perhaps, your family and friends would not rush you to a facility, but I’ll bet they’ll still be quite puzzled. Unfortunately this type of behavior occurs all the time. Someone realizes that they don’t have what they want, so they look at the people who do and decide to copy their actions expecting to achieve the desired result. Alas, they frequently find themselves disappointed.

Graciella has “the life.” She just got the promotion that Tina secretly coveted, along with the huge office, has a wonderful
house in the suburbs, the newest sport utility vehicle for bad weather and a flashy convertible for fun, a successful husband who loves to cook, and two darling children. When Tina compared her life to Graciella’s with the second mortgage, the one car that may or may not get her to work, and the cubicle the size of a shoebox, she couldn’t help but feel a tad short-changed. She didn’t begrudge Graciella the things she had achieved, but desperately wanted them for herself. So, Tina decided that if she wanted a similar lifestyle, she needed to behave in a very similar manner.

Tina became a “mini-Graciella.” She began to dress like Graciella, mimic her actions, and even eat similar things. At first Graciella was mildly amused, but quickly became annoyed and a tad concerned over Tina’s behavior. Tina’s metamorphosis did not go unnoticed by her other co-workers, and she suddenly found herself getting the attention she desired, but for all the wrong reasons. Her boss quickly became dissatisfied with her work because he relied upon the unique insight that Tina had brought to the table. After about a month of this troubling behavior he called her into his office. She anticipated the meeting with excitement. She just knew that he was going to offer her the remaining promotion. Why wouldn’t he? After all she had been doing exactly the same things as Graciella. Tina could not understand why her boss was not smiling when she walked in, as they had always had an easy relationship. After Tina sat he explained to her that she had been a shoe-in for the promotion until about a month before. He went on to say that instead of promoting her as he had hoped, he was actually issuing an informal warning because her performance had been seriously sub-standard. He told her that she had lost the promotion to another employee, but that she would have another chance in about a year, providing that her current issue was rectified immediately. Before she left he patted her hand and told her that one Graciella in the office was enough, but they really needed the input, intelligence, and insight that Tina brought to the team. As Tina walked back to her tiny cubicle fighting tears, she realized how creepy she had been behaving. She had willingly abandoned who she was, her unique traits, her quirky sense of humor, and her unerringly sense of intuition for her job. At what cost? She almost lost a job she truly enjoyed, was ostracized from people that she had worked with for years, and had move herself even further from her goals.

There are a number of ways that Tina could have handled the situation, but the most effective way would have been by embracing her uniqueness. Tina lost track of what was working for her and focused on what she wanted that she didn’t have. Tina forgot to embrace the qualities that made her Tina, to put those positive vibrations out into the universe so that those wonderful qualities of hers would attract more of the lifestyle that she desired. Tina got too caught up in “falling in line” and forgot that marching to her own tune could be just as much fun, and bring success on its own. Success tailored to Tina, the type that is the perfect fit for her because she attracted it to suit her qualities, desires, abilities, and spirit.

Remember to be your own unique self, be it similar to someone else or completely different, just be true to you. That authenticity and honesty is the heart of you, the heart from which your vibrations are unleashed. Honest thoughts, vibrations, and actions will produce amazing results that are so in-line with what you truly desire.

I’ve always heard that jury duty in the U.S. is an interesting experience. Interesting in a good way. I thought I’d enjoy it, but I never wanted to do it since I’ve owned my own business. I have a very delicately balanced schedule between work and kids. If I unexpectedly had to leave for a week or two from my business, it’d create a bit of chaos.

Needless to say, when I got summoned for jury duty right before my second son was born, I panicked. After a little reading, I saw that I could postpone it because of my due date being so close. Phew!

Darn if I didn’t get another summons in the next year. I was able to postpone again because now I was breastfeeding. As you can see, I must’ve had some emotional charge on this topic. And to seal the deal, I got ANOTHER summons this past December. Well, I didn’t have a legitimate excuse to get out of this one.

Every time I saw the paperwork for jury duty on my desk it brought up a little anxiety. You see, I remember when my business partner, Eva, was chosen some years back and it took about two weeks out of her life. Geez, was that going to happen to me?!

Everyone has stuff that pushes their buttons. I happen to have a hot button on the topic of time. I’m a lot more peaceful about it than when I first had children, but I haven’t mastered the feeling of total spaciousness with work, toddlers, not sleeping through the night and taking care of the household stuff.

Knowing that I create my reality, I decided I was not going to serve on a trial but I didn’t know how that was going to happen. I was very caught up in the cursed ‘how’. I’d wake up in the middle of the night plotting out all the possibilities and getting myself worked up.

When I arrived on the scheduled day I armed myself with books, calendars and gadgets that connect to the internet, so I could still work on things that felt inspired. I actually got some important things done while waiting. But once in the courtroom things got very interesting.

The case was about a DUI and I instantly wondered how this person thought they were going to get out of a DUI, as they had been given a blood test. I had already decided that this person was probably guilty and they were wasting the taxpayers time and money. For this one case, about sixty people were called in as potential jurors. Whew, one person and a lot of energy, effort and resources were being poured into justice being served.

Now, I’m very aware that I was making a ton of assumptions based on nothing but my own stories. But guess what? That’s just how us humans are programmed. So I surrendered into all of my judgments and prayed I wouldn’t be called to be questioned as a potential juror. At the last minute, they called my name (of course! I was soooo wound up at this point!).

Heart pounding, I went into the jury box and stayed very focused on my objective: being excused. I didn’t worry about what to say. When they asked questions, I answered, with no wavering in the reality I was going to create. Within two minutes of sitting down, I was excused. I walked all the way to my car with a smile on my face.

Here’s what I learned (again):

• If you think something is a big deal, it will be a big deal.
• Spending time going round and round about the how, solves nothing. The how will come when you’re relaxed.
• You can still have anxiety about a desired outcome and still get what you want in the end.
• Suffering is optional.
• Judgment is inevitable, but stay open to other realities.
• It’s none of my business how the court system is setup. The U.S. system works better than many other countries and I appreciate that!
• If I would’ve been chosen to be on the jury for the trial my business, my finances and my sanity would’ve been fine. I always figure it out and great things would’ve happened as a result.

If I ever get summoned again, I will still focus on my end desire, but not resist the possibility of serving. My fear of spending unexpected time away from the business is what caused me the greatest unnecessary stress. I’ve never had to spend unexpected time away from my business. Even when I birthed my children, I was back to work in two days. That’s just the way I roll.

But as soon as I thought somebody else was in control of my destiny, I lost my power. I’m always in charge and I can relax into that truth. Ahhh…
