Great financial tips to ensure you make more dollar

Law of Attraction Classics: Your Invisible Power – How I Attracted Twenty Thousand Dollars – Genevieve Behrend

In the laboratory of experience in which my newly revealed relation to Divine operation was to be tested, the first problem was a financial one. My income was a stipulated one, quite enough for my everyday needs.

But it did not seem sufficient to enable me to go comfortably to England where Troward lived, and remain for an indefinite period to study with so great a teacher as he must be. So before inquiring whether Troward took pupils or whether I would be eligible in case he did, I began to use the paragraph I had memorized.

Daily, in fact, almost hourly, the words were in my mind: “My mind is a center of Divine operation, and Divine operation means expansion into something better than has gone before.”

From the Edinburgh Lectures I had read something about the Law of Attraction, and from the Chapter of “Causes and Conditions” I had gleaned a vague idea of visualizing.

So every night, before going to sleep, I made a mental picture of the desired $20,000. Twenty $1,000 bills were counted over each night in my bedroom, and then, with the idea of more emphatically impressing my mind with the fact that this twenty thousand dollars was for the purpose of going to England and studying with Troward, I wrote out my picture, saw myself buying my steamer ticket, walking up and down the ship’s deck from New York to London, and, finally, saw myself accepted as Troward’s pupil.

This process was repeated every morning and every evening, always impressing more and more fully upon my mind Troward’s memorized statement: “My mind is a center of Divine operations.” I endeavored to keep this statement in the back part of my consciousness all the time with no thought in mind as how the money might be obtained.
Probably the reason why there was no thought of the avenues through which the money might reach me was because I could not possibly imagine where the $20,000 would come from. So I simply held my thought steady and let the power of attraction find its own ways and means.

One day while walking on the street, taking deep breathing exercises, the thought came: “My mind is surely a center of Divine operation. If God fills all space, then God must be in my mind also; if I want this money to study with Troward that I may know the truth of Life, then both the money and the truth must be mine, though I am unable to feel or see the physical manifestations of either; still,” I declared, “it must be mine.”

While these reflections were going on in my mind, there seemed to come up from within me the thought: “I am all the substance there is.” Then, from another channel in my brain the answer seemed to come, “Of course, that’s it; everything must have its beginning in mind.

The “I” the Idea, must be the only one and primary substance there is, and this means money as well as everything else.” My mind accepted this idea, and immediately all the tension of mind and body was relaxed.

There was a feeling of absolute certainty of being in touch with all the power Life has to give. All thought of money, teacher, or even my own personality, vanished in the great wave of joy which swept over my entire being.

I walked on and on with this feeling of joy steadily increasing and expanding until everything about me seemed aglow with resplendent light. Every person I passed was illuminated as I was. All consciousness of personality had disappeared, and in its place there came that great and almost overwhelming sense of joy and contentment.

That night when I made my picture of the twenty thousand dollars it was with an entirely changed aspect. On previous occasions, when making my mental picture, I had felt that I was waking up something within myself. This time there was no sensation of effort. I simply counted over the twenty thousand dollars.

Then, in a most unexpected manner, from a source of which I had no consciousness at the time, there seemed to open a possible avenue through which the money might reach me.

At first it took great effort not to be excited. It all seemed so wonderful, so glorious to be in touch with supply. But had not Troward cautioned his readers to keep all excitement out of their minds in the first flush of realization of union with Infinite supply, and to treat this fact as a perfectly natural result that had been reached through our demand?

This was even more difficult for me than it was to hold the thought that “all the substance there is, I am; I (idea) am the beginning of all form, visible or invisible.”

Just as soon as there appeared a circumstance which indicated the direction through which the twenty thousand dollars might come, I not only made a supreme effort to regard the indicated direction calmly as the first sprout of the seed I had sown in the absolute, but left no stone unturned to follow up that direction by fulfilling my part. By so doing one circumstance seemed naturally to lead to another, until, step-by-step, my desired twenty thousand dollars was secured. To keep my mind poised and free from excitement was my greatest effort.

This first concrete fruition of my study of Mental Science as expounded by Troward’s book had come by a careful following of the methods he had outlined. In this connection, therefore, I can offer to the reader no better gift than to quote Troward’s book, “The Edinburgh Lectures,” from which may be derived a complete idea of the line of action I was endeavoring to follow.

In the chapter on Causes and Conditions he says: “To get good results we must properly understand our relation to the great impersonal power we are using. It is intelligent, and we are intelligent, and the two intelligences must co-operate.

We must not fly in the face of the Law expecting it to do for us what it can only do through us; and we must therefore use our intelligence with the knowledge that it is acting as the instrument of a greater intelligence; and because we have this knowledge we may and should cease from all anxiety as to the final result.

In actual practice we must first form the ideal conception of our object with the definite intention of impressing it upon the universal mind -it is this thought that takes such thought out of the region of mere casual fancies -and then affirm that our knowledge of the Law is sufficient reason for a calm expectation of a corresponding result, and that therefore all necessary conditions will come to us in due order.

We can then turn to the affairs of our daily life with the calm assurance that the initial conditions are either there already or will soon come into view. If we do not at once see them, let us rest content with the knowledge that the spiritual prototype is already in existence and wait till some circumstance pointing in the desired direction begins to show itself.

It may be a very small circumstance, but it is the direction and not the magnitude that is to be taken into consideration.

As soon as we see it we should regard it as the first sprouting of the seed sown in the Absolute, and do calmly, and without excitement, whatever the circumstances seem to require, and then later on we shall see that this doing will in turn lead to a further circumstance in the same direction, until we find ourselves conducted, step by step, to the accomplishment of our object.

In this way the understanding of the great principle of the Law of Supply will, by repeated experiences, deliver us more and more completely out of the region of anxious thought and toilsome labor and bring us into a new world where the useful employment of all our powers, whether mental or physical, will only be an unfolding of our individuality upon the lines of its own nature, and therefore a perpetual source of health and happiness; a sufficient inducement, surely, to the careful study of the laws governing the relation between the individual and the Universal Mind.”

To my mind, then as now, this quotation outlines the core and center of the method and manner of approach necessary for coming in touch with Infinite supply. At least it, together with the previously quoted statement, “My mind is a center of Divine operation,” etc., constituted the only apparent means of attracting to myself the twenty thousand dollars.

My constant endeavor to get into the spirit of these statements, and to attract to myself this needed sum, was about six weeks, at the end of which time I had in my bank the required twenty thousand dollars. This could be made into a long story, giving all the details, but the facts, as already narrated, will give you a definite idea of the magnetic condition of my mind while the twenty thousand dollars was finding its way to me.

These days everyone is looking for a deal when planning a vacation. With the cost of going on holidays these days who can blame them. Some resorts can often cost up to $300 or $400 per night, and that is if you can even get a reservation. Many of the best resorts are sold out a half year in advance. Others keep their best rooms and suites exclusively for timeshare holders or owners.

So what does that mean for the average traveler? Generally they are restricted to the all inclusive package deals that keep them two to a room in a modest hotel. There is nothing wrong with that. For many travelers this is all they need. However, for a family of four or more this style of accommodation is just not enough. Often families are forced to book two rooms; one for the kids and another for the parents.

This type of vacation accommodation often leaves families separated for a large portion of their vacation. There is a planned activity for a portion of the day followed by the teenagers going off to pursue their own activities and retiring to their own room.

Often a family that wants to lodge together has to rent a condo or a suite with two bedrooms. This is expensive with a week rental often costing a couple thousand dollars.

There is another benefit to renting a condo and that is having access to a kitchen. Lets face it, the cost of eating out while on holidays can be a lot. This can lessen that cost burden and give a chance for a family on holidays to sit together outside of a restaurant setting. After all that is the point of the holiday in the first place; to enjoy time together.

One option for a family that travels annually is to buy into a timeshare. This will allow them to spend time together, enjoy meals together and re-establish family bonds. Although the cost of a time share is generally out of reach for many families and if you choose not to travel one year you still end up paying the fees. Plus who wants to continually visit the same resort year after year.

A new and less expensive option is to buy a vacation membership. This will provide travelers with much more flexibility when choosing holiday destinations. However caution needs to be used when choosing a membership since not all are good value. Many limit the resorts available and times which you can visit. It is important for anyone considering a vacation
membership to do their research and make sure it will suit their travel needs.

There are many options available for a traveler seeking discount rates on their vacation. Time shares, travel vouchers, and hotel deals are all viable options but for those looking to have a lifetime of fantastic vacation deals them there is a specific vacation membership that needs to be considered.

On March 5th, CNBC kicked off its 2007 Million Dollar Portfolio. Each week, the person with the largest gains will be given ten thousand dollars. On May 14th, the first phase of the contest will end. CNBC will give each of the ten highest ranked players and the ten weekly winners a fresh fake one million dollars. At the end of two weeks, the person in this group that has the largest portfolio value will be given one million real dollars.

So how can you win the CNBC Portfolio Challenge? Well, you can start by taking a look at last years winner. Although last years contest was called the Squawk Box Fantasy Portfolio Challenge, the objective was the same. At the end of the Fantasy Portfolio Challenge, Thomas Ko came out on top with a portfolio which was valued at over five million dollars. He accomplished this feat by investing all of his money into single stocks and riding them to the top of the challenge. Even though CNBC didnt give away one million dollars last year, Ko did drive away in his brand new 2006 limited edition Maserati GranSport. Ko was also given an invitation by MSN to their Money Strategy Lab.

In addition to the one million dollars that you are given at the beginning of the CNBC challenge, you can also earn up to fifteen thousand more dollars each week to add to your portfolio. In order to do this, you must correctly answer two questions everyday. The first question, which is worth two thousand investing dollars everyday, is known as the video trivia question. The second question is the news question and is worth one thousand investing bucks. Correctly answering these questions everyday over the course of the contest can add an additional one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to your portfolio!

You are in the market to buy a new car. Your first thought is to trade in your existing one at the dealership. If you do not have any time and you are very comfortable loosing a couple of thousand dollars, go ahead and trade in your existing vehicle at the dealership. If you trade in at the dealership, you dont have to pay a portion of the sales tax, equivalent to the trade-in value of your old car, on your new car. For a $2,000 trade-in, that may be as high as $160 at 8% sales tax rate. But the same $2,000 trade-in car can be sold at $3,000 to a private party if you put some efforts. And that can be a nice chunk of money for a few hours of works.

If you have read so far, you must be interested in getting that extra $1,000. Go ahead start your research for the fair market value of your car using edmunds.com. Enter all your available vehicle features and mileage to obtain an accurate number. Take a printout of the page. Now you have all the details of your car at your finger tips and the estimated market value the sellers in your region are willing to pay from a private party sale.

Call your local news paper and buy a classified ads in automotive section for one week starting from a Sunday. Some local papers will extend your ad for an additional week for a nominal charge or for free if the vehicle is not sold in one week. Give details like make, model, year, mileage, engine cylinder size, etc. Also check out the online car selling sites like motor zoo.com and car.com. Get the title of your car and keep it in a place you can access it quickly if a prospective buyer wants to buy the car immediately.

Take your car to the nearest car wash and give it a through cleaning, both interior and exterior. Remove every thing from the trunk, back seats, and floor. The car should only have floor mats on the floor. Trunk should be completely empty. Secure the spare tire and the jack appropriately. Vacuum the trunk. Use a spot remover to remove spots from seats and trunk carpet if it is possible. Dont spend money fixing the car for any mechanical and electrical repairs, unless it is very minor like replacing the fuse or a bulb etc.. Be honest to the buyer if you have any mechanical or electrical problems with your car. Take the car to a quick oil change place for oil change and topping of other fluids. Most quick oil places will also fill up your anti-freeze, transmission fluids, power steering fluid if you go for their 20, 21 or whatever point inspection. They will also inflate your tires pressure to the recommended level.

When prospective buyers call you, answer all questions they might have about your vehicle. Answer them honestly because you want to turn an appointment into a sale. Make appointment at a specific time. dont be vague like come after work, because your after work and the buyers after work may not be the same. Ask the buyer to come during the day and not at night. This may be a problem during the week-days in Winter months when days are shorter but in the Summer it should not be a problem. You can also schedule your appointment during the week-ends in the Winter months. Get the cell phone number of the prospective buyer if it is possible. However, dont get upset if the prospective buyer does not show up or shows up late. Remember that a prospective buyer is your customer and customer is always right.

Before the buyer takes the car for a test drive, check his/her drivers license. You should accompany the buyer during the test drive and direct the buyer to roads you are familiar with. Dont allow him/her to take the car wherever he/she wants. During price negotiation, dont be extremely rigid in your price. Depending on the resale value of your car, you should be able to accept a couple of hundred dollars less than your advertised price. Take only cash; do not take checks or registered checks.

If you receive any inquires from prospective buyers to your online advertisement, be very cautious. There are lots of scams going on online. If the online buyer proposes to send you a registered check for more than what you are asking for and tells you to send the difference to a shipping company, than you know it is definitely a scam. The check is forged and they will take your money and run. Have fun with your extra money.

Get the most out of every dollar you spend – Using rewards credit cards

Word Count:Article Body:
We all have expenses, some more than others. Why not get something out of it? With so many reward credit cards out there that offer sky miles, hotel discounts, cash back, gas bonuses etc. we should all be taking advantage of these. If you shop around a little you can find the type of bonus you like best and the best offer that’s currently out there for that type of bonus.

If you own your own business you have an opportunity to really rack up the bonus points. I’ll use someone I know personally as an example. I know an electrician that owns his own business. When he gets a job he has to buy materials. The customer ultimately pays for the material as well has the labor but the gentlemen I know does have to lay out the initial funds for the materials. And we’re talking about jobs where the material costs alone may be a few thousand dollars. He’s in a fantastic situation here because he can quickly earn thousands of points toward a free trip or gas for the company truck with every job and the customer ends up paying for the materials anyway.

Even if you don’t own a business that requires you to put thousands of dollars every month on a credit card you still have an opportunity to earn some nice bonuses that you would not otherwise recieve unless you were using a bonus type credit card. If your car breaks down and you’ve got to pay $700 to fix it, you might as well earn some bonus points. If you’re doing any remodeling around the house there’s an opportunity to rack up some points.

But it doesn’t have to be big ticket items. Every dollar you spend with these credit cards earns points for you. Now, I’m not saying you should go on wild shopping sprees but we all have certain expenses. Things that we have to pay for one way or another. Things like groceries, gas, cell phone bills etc. These types of expenses are things that you buy every week or every month. Instead of paying for them with a credit card that doesn’t offer you anything other than a high interest rate, you could be paying for them with a credit card that will earn you a couple of free airline tickets to Hawaii, or a free week at a four star hotel, or cash back, or free gas.

Please spend your money responsibly. But if you have to spend the money, you might as well get something out of it.
