0:31

0:34
miracles where else would you rather be right
0:38

0:41
one hell of a ride this episode now do
0:44

0:59
man of your dreams getting your dream job your dream
1:02
home your dream little family but this
1:05
episode I believe today now you know how I always tell you it's because I always
1:13
tell you this episode is amazing because this could be the best one yet But
1:18
that is because I genuinely care about each and every episode.
1:23
When I think about and I research what I'm going to put in the episodes.
1:27
I just, I'm never going to put anything in there that I feel is just mediocre.
1:31
So that is why I feel everyone is like, has every episode has real knowledge
1:38
and inspiration that actually should blow your mind.
1:41
That's what I'm hoping. That's not bigging myself up, I hope.
1:44
That's just, that is my aim. let's just say that that's why I however I,
1:49
Today, like I said, you know those people you feel like always get the luck?
1:53
We've heard of lucky girl syndrome. I actually did an episode on it before.
1:57
This one today is going to blow your mind.
2:02
We're talking about something I absolutely love. And yes, you guessed it. It's about luck.
2:07
But do you know what? Oh my God. Do you know what's really good?
2:10
The revelation that is coming.
2:12
It's not about luck. It's you are creating your luck.
2:17
You can train your mind, your life, your energy to be lucky.
2:22
Can you believe that? So that person, let's go back to that person that I always
2:26
say, oh, they always just seem to get lucky.
2:28
It's all right for them. They meet the right people.
2:30
They get offered the gym job. They find money on the street.
2:34
They get chosen, spotted, invited.
2:38
You kind of just look at them and sometimes you go, oh, you're a little bit annoying.
2:42
And maybe you're like, oh my God, it must be so nice to be that lucky.
2:48
But here's the thing, guys. Lucky people, they're not chosen like the magical
2:54
chosen one, like the golden ticket.
2:55
They're not chosen by the universe. They create their own luck, right?
3:01
So before you're like, oh yeah, is that just a saying you create your own luck?
3:06
No, no, no, no, no, no. Guys, your mind is going to be blown because you can learn to be lucky.
3:13
There's a tactic that I'm going to teach you today and you will become lucky.
3:18
Lucky people aren't chosen, they're creating it. So really think about this for a minute.
3:24
The first way to get lucky, it's simple.
3:28
You show up more, you ask more questions, you try again, you send more emails,
3:35
you apply for the thing, You say hi to the person, you introduce yourself to someone.
3:41
Most people just like try once and they give up and they're like,
3:44
oh, that's a bit embarrassing, that didn't work. Or maybe you put yourself and
3:48
your business out there and someone didn't take the bait, they didn't book, whatever.
3:52
But actually, really think about it. Winners, the ones who seem to live those
3:58
lucky lives, they just keep playing.
4:01
They keep playing. They give themselves more opportunities.
4:04
They try more things. They ask more questions.
4:08
They apply for more jobs they're getting more
4:11
lottery tickets in life and you know
4:13
what you've got you've got to be in it to win it haven't you
4:16
so they just keep playing so think
4:19
about it the more tickets you buy and I'm
4:22
not actually saying lottery tickets because you can earn your own money you
4:25
can attract your own money but I'm talking about like the lottery tickets of
4:29
life the opportunities in life if you play more you will win more if you play
4:35
more you will become luckier so we're diving into that today and how to increase your chances,
4:42
multiply your opportunities and make lucky your new normal.
4:48
Now, if that is not the episode of all episodes, then I don't know what is.
4:54
This is going to blow your mind. When you leave this episode,
4:59
when you press stop, when it rolls onto to the next podcast you're listening
5:03
to, you're going to go, I get it.
5:06
I get it. I can be lucky too. I am lucky too.
5:11
So let's start with this. Let's think about it. Luck isn't magic.
5:17
Okay. Now I know there is a lot of magic in manifesting, but I always say to
5:22
you guys and to my clients.
5:24
That manifesting is a mix of kind of magic and science. It's like a lovely little fusion.
5:31
So luck isn't magic, it's maths, all right?
5:34
The more you show up, the more chances you have to win.
5:38
It is probability. This is a game of probability.
5:41
It's energy. It's magnetism. So the more times you show up, the more chances you have to win.
5:48
The more you are showing up, the more you are becoming that future version of you.
5:52
And then those lucky things, I'm using the little brackets there,
5:56
those lucky things, they just come to you anyway, because you are aligned in
6:00
that energy. It's probability.
6:03
So when people say, oh, you know what, she's so lucky. What they're actually
6:07
seeing is someone who's taken more shots.
6:10
Think about it. It's not just a one hit wonder that you get lucky on one thing.
6:16
You might just have a bit of luck with one thing one time. But actually,
6:19
the person who takes more shots is going to
6:22
be more lucky that is maths that is
6:25
not magic well it is magic if
6:28
you think about it let's call it a maths and magic fusion think
6:31
about the person who gets the dream job maybe they've
6:34
applied for maybe 50 other jobs before that one it's
6:37
not the one and that's it and they've got their dream job for life they've maybe
6:40
applied for 50 others that you haven't seen them apply for or the person who
6:44
found love on a dating app probably went on 20 30 40 awkward terrible disappointing
6:51
dates before meeting the one and then they became lucky.
6:55
And the influencer online who
6:57
became viral, like, you know, maybe they've posted a hundred times before.
7:02
Maybe they've posted every day for a year, two years, and then they go viral.
7:07
That's not, that is probability. That is not luck. But you guys might see it.
7:12
We might all look at it and go, do you know what? They're really lucky.
7:16
And actually, I had this recently just thinking about that, the influencer who
7:19
went viral. I work with a lot of clients who are starting small businesses and
7:25
starting their own businesses, looking to generate income, looking to attract their dream clients.
7:31
And I quite often talk about posting, and I've done this myself a lot,
7:34
is that when I transitioned to becoming a manifesting coach a couple of years
7:38
ago, I started posting regularly.
7:41
Started posting every day for a while but also I
7:45
work in film and tv it's not always easy to find content
7:48
to create content to imagine what content you're going to
7:50
put out but you know what I kept doing it I
7:53
kept posting because I believed in the
7:56
content and I believed in the message I kept posting now
7:59
recently last month I went mega viral
8:03
mega viral you know I've had lots of views before
8:06
in their thousands but this one is close to a million views
8:09
and then another one's gone viral now someone went to
8:12
me oh my god you're so lucky you're so lucky you went
8:15
viral and actually this is where this is what I'm honing in on today that that
8:20
was actually a really lovely comment but actually I've posted every day for
8:25
a year or you know there and thereabouts the amount of content I've posted before
8:30
going viral and now someone thinks I'm lucky yes I am lucky I've gone viral.
8:35
I've gained more followers and clients. That's great.
8:39
But actually, is that luck or is that maths where I've posted every day for a hundred days?
8:44
Now, this isn't about me. I just wanted to use kind of a real life example where
8:48
that's just popped into my head. Now, we call it luck,
8:52
it's really, it's like persistence in disguise. It's persistence.
8:57
It's consistency in disguise. And there's something spiritual about that too,
9:02
because every time you show up for yourself, you are telling the universe,
9:08
I am ready. I am available.
9:11
I am willing to play the game. I am willing to play the game of luck.
9:17
I'm willing to play the game of life.
9:20
I'm willing to play the game of law of attraction.
9:22
And that energy is magnetic. You become the kind of person that things happen
9:28
for because you're opening up your pool of opportunity.
9:33
So there's a brilliant quote by Thomas Jefferson that I love. And it goes like this.
9:37
He said, I'm a great believer in luck. And I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
9:45
Now that sums up the whole episode, this whole theory that we're talking about.
9:50
The harder I work, the more luck I have. I mean, it's obvious.
9:55
Why have we not noticed this before?
9:57
So actually, you can put the work in to become a lucky person.
10:02
And the more work you put in, the more reward you get, that's going to feel
10:06
like less like work and more reward.
10:08
And that is it. Lucky people, they simply create
10:12
more opportunities for magic to meet
10:15
them on a daily basis so we are bringing
10:17
the magic in there this is this not blowing your mind I'm sorry I know I'm delivering
10:22
it and that might sound like I'm going guys aren't I just the best manifester
10:26
ever I just can't believe this like something has really clicked when you go
10:30
this is so obvious each and every one of you can go off after today and become lucky.
10:37
It's that simple. You can be in your lucky girl era, your lucky guy era,
10:42
whatever you choose, you can create that luck.
10:44
So let's think about it. Let's call this the play more hands mindset.
10:49
We'll talk about this idea of playing more hands. It's so simple.
10:53
Just think about it in a card game.
10:56
Most people play one hand, they lose and they walk away.
10:59
Lucky people, the people that win the money, they are the people that stay at the table.
11:04
The lucky people, the ones that win more money, they stay at the table.
11:09
They keep playing because they know the longer they stay in the game,
11:12
the more likely they are to win. Now, this isn't encouraging people to go out and gamble.
11:16
We know that. You're never going to beat the house and all of that.
11:19
The point is when you see people win at the table, you think they're so lucky,
11:24
but actually they've just stayed in and played more hands.
11:26
And it's that simple. That is the secret of luck.
11:29
What does that actually look like in real life? So let me give you some real examples here.
11:33
If you're thinking, ah, okay, I want to do this. I want to get lucky.
11:37
I want to play more hands. What can you actually do?
11:40
Well, if you're one of these people that you're looking for more clients,
11:43
maybe you have your own business or you're setting up your own business.
11:47
If you're looking for more clients, for example, then send 10 more emails,
11:52
reach out to more people, maybe follow more people online and reach out to them
11:58
to see if they'd be interested in whatever service you're delivering.
12:02
Maybe make the offer clearer. Lucky coaches and business owners, they plant more seats.
12:09
So send more emails, more messages, reach out to more people.
12:13
I have clients that I work with who say this and they go, they're not actually
12:16
really reaching out or maybe they need to work on their confidence first.
12:20
But if you think about it, this is how we play more hands. We send more emails.
12:25
We reach out to more people.
12:27
Maybe if you're single and you want to meet someone, you go to more events.
12:32
Say yes to that birthday party.
12:34
Message someone first. Swallow that pride, especially if you're a woman.
12:38
Sometimes I hear this a lot where they're like, I don't want to send the first message.
12:42
I want to be chased. But actually, just be bold and send that first message.
12:46
It doesn't mean that you're going to lower your standards and have to do the
12:48
chasing all the time. But send that message first.
12:52
Smile more. Start more conversations. Start conversations with strangers.
12:57
Lucky people give love more opportunities to find them.
13:01
And I often find this as well. If you've been in the dating game for a while
13:05
and you feel like you're not meeting anyone, I think it can become uncomfortable
13:09
to kind of go, no, I'm going to stay in. I choose myself.
13:12
I'm going to stay in. I'm confident.
13:14
And actually, I'm going to let more people come to me, more people approach
13:18
me. I'm sick of doing all the legwork.
13:20
But actually, let those guards down. Go out, say yes to the invitations,
13:24
go to mixers, message someone first, smile more.
13:28
Lucky people give love more opportunities to find them.
13:31
What about your dream job? Think about your dream job. If you want your dream
13:35
job, apply for five roles a week. Message someone on LinkedIn.
13:40
Set your LinkedIn up. Pitch a new idea.
13:43
Lucky people put themselves where luck can see them. Where can luck grab you?
13:50
I was going to say by the balls.
13:51
Not sure if that's the right way to say it, but we've said it, so we're going with it.
13:55
Let luck be able to find you so that it can grab you and take you into its lucky energy.
14:00
If you want to grow your Instagram, I hear this a lot from people at the moment,
14:04
post more often, be consistent, try different styles.
14:09
Even if you're stuck in your ways of how you post, just try something different.
14:14
Engage more, write more messages on people's posts. Like if you're inspired
14:19
by someone else's post, drop them a message.
14:22
Just reach out more, engage more. Lucky people don't just hope to go viral,
14:28
they create more chances and more opportunities for something to take off.
14:34
So you see, it's not that lucky people win every time.
14:38
This is the bit here that I really want this to sink in.
14:41
So let's say that again. It's not that lucky people win every time.
14:46
They lose more often. Now that sounds weird, doesn't it?
14:50
They just have more goes, more tries, more attempts, more lottery tickets.
14:56
And that is why they win more often too.
15:00
And you hear this a lot. I listen to a lot of podcasts about how business owners
15:05
started their businesses and the amount of times they had knockbacks.
15:08
The amount of times people said, no, this is not going to work.
15:11
The amount of times people said, no, we don't want to work with you.
15:14
And yet they've become millionaires and set up successful multi-million pound businesses.
15:19
How do you actually become that lucky person? Let's get practical with this now.
15:25
Step one is to say yes more often.
15:29
It's so simple. Say yes more often start
15:32
saying yes to opportunities to invites to ideas even when they're small even
15:38
when you're not sure every yes opens a new door even if it doesn't lead to where
15:43
you think you will be surprised at how often that yes might lead you to something eventually somewhere.
15:51
Step two is to ask more questions. This one is huge, ginormous.
15:58
So lucky people, they just ask more.
16:00
They ask for more feedback. They ask for introductions.
16:04
They ask for clarity because every question invites new information,
16:09
new people, new energy, and the universe responds to curiosity.
16:15
So get curious.
16:18
Step three is to follow up. One email doesn't necessarily get you the job.
16:24
One interview doesn't get you the job. The follow-up does. So this is just stepping
16:29
out more to give yourself another opportunity, another lottery ticket.
16:32
One post doesn't build the brand. The consistency of the posts build the brand.
16:37
One conversation doesn't build connection. The check-in,
16:40
the post check-in afterwards does following up kind of says I'm serious I'm
16:47
still in the game I'm in business I'm open to new opportunities universe I'm ready.
16:54
Do you see how that kind of works and it kind of strengthens your hand?
16:59
It strengthens your hand that you want to play.
17:02
Step four is to detach from the outcome. You can't be scared of losing if you want to be lucky.
17:10
Think about those business owners that I said who have multi million pound brands.
17:15
They have had no's. They have had years, hundreds of no's. They're not scared of losing.
17:22
They're not scared of the no's because you cannot be scared of losing if you want to be lucky.
17:28
Lucky people don't play lightly. They don't make every attempt mean something
17:33
about their worth. They take a shot.
17:36
They take a chance. They buy a ticket.
17:39
They create an opportunity. They start the conversation. They try again. They move on.
17:45
They try again. They move on. so they don't
17:48
let those knockbacks get them down and actually
17:51
what they do is they use it to strengthen themselves remember more
17:55
hands the more hands you play in a card game the more chance you have of winning
18:00
they just trust that the right one the right opportunity the right person that
18:06
will be the right one that right one will hit number five is to put yourself in more rooms I
18:13
cannot, I cannot tell you how important this is.
18:18
Literally and metaphorically, put yourself in more rooms. Go to events that
18:23
align with whatever it is you are trying to attract.
18:26
Join online groups. Start conversations.
18:29
Luck loves movement. And movement happens in rooms filled with people, ideas and energy.
18:37
That is where you are going to find more opportunities. That is where you're
18:41
going to find more people, events and circumstances that align with what it
18:47
is that you're trying to attract.
18:48
Now, my sister, one of my sisters, she is the most amazing baker and cook,
18:55
actually. She bakes everything from scratch.
18:57
She has four children and everything is fresh. Everything is whole foods.
19:02
And you know what? I'll pop around
19:04
there and she's in the kitchen and I'm like, oh, what have you done?
19:07
What have you cooked here she's like oh you know a
19:10
tray of I've just made a tray of cinnamon buns and
19:12
there's a fresh loaf of sourdough over there and I've made this lavender and
19:17
rose cake and you know all of these amazing things right so it is her passion
19:22
it is her passion baking feeding people her cakes her baking her food is exceptional
19:30
everyone loves it it's what she's known for.
19:32
She would love, she often talks about combining that skill, that passion with
19:38
work and creating a business out of it. It's not something that she does for work.
19:42
I always explain to her the law of attraction and manifesting and how she could
19:47
start doing something with that business.
19:49
Maybe start posting her recipes or posting how she feeds her kids with just
19:54
whole food stuff. Like you should see her lunchboxes, guys.
19:58
If you have kids, she's one of those girls, one of those women that you just
20:01
look at and you go, oh my God, that's so annoying.
20:03
There's not a packet of crisps inside. She puts us all to shame, honestly.
20:07
But I'm like, you know, start posting, posting your recipes.
20:10
Post how you give your children everything organic, everything from scratch,
20:15
you know, just start posting how you do some of this stuff.
20:18
Maybe put yourself in places where there are other bakers, maybe take yourself
20:24
to events, cooking events, maybe.
20:27
And she went, yeah, but what difference does that make? What difference does
20:31
that make if I take myself off to a cooking event?
20:34
Well, she probably wished she hadn't answered that question because
20:37
I went on about a half an hour conversation of
20:41
just saying but if you put yourself at that event I
20:44
said nothing might happen that's that's the
20:46
bare basics that's the bare minimum nothing might happen but
20:50
maybe you look at new equipment
20:53
and you go oh that's interesting I might use that with
20:56
my baking maybe you meet people there who are
20:58
on a similar journey to you maybe you meet people there
21:01
who are saying I wish I could feed my kids like
21:05
wholesome foods whole foods from scratch but I
21:08
just don't know how to do it maybe you might then meet
21:11
someone and say well look I'll teach you or do you know what
21:13
I have an Instagram page follow my Instagram you just don't know what awaits
21:19
you until you take yourself and put yourself in these rooms there was loads
21:25
more that I kind of went down I went down a hole of cooking and how it can help
21:30
to throw yourself in these different scenarios but she was like.
21:34
That's so true and i said but ultimately you are
21:37
aligning yourself and throwing yourself in with new
21:39
people opportunities events that align
21:42
with your passion and that is that can only be a good thing and when the law
21:47
of attraction gets to work it brings you more things that are aligned so she
21:51
is starting to do that more and she kind of gets it she started posting her
21:54
recipes and i'm like this is an amazing sourdough and i can see people responding
21:59
and caption and their captions and say,
22:00
can you give me the breakdown of the recipe and the ingredients for this?
22:04
So that's the kind of thing that I'm talking about, about putting yourself in more rooms.
22:10
Step six is to tell the universe you're ready.
22:14
Now, this one's an energetic step. So say it out loud and say,
22:17
I am ready for new opportunities.
22:21
I am open to new luck. The universe can't deliver what you're not available for.
22:28
So just by saying that out loud, one, the universe is listening.
22:33
Two, your brain and the neuroscience of your brain and the signals that it sends
22:38
out to your body is also listening.
22:40
So the more you say, I'm ready for new opportunities, I'm open to new luck,
22:43
your brain, your body, your energy is then kind of sending out a signal to say
22:49
that you're ready to receive that luck.
22:51
You're ready to receive those new opportunities.
22:53
So say that out loud, I'm ready for new opportunity
22:57
I'm open to new luck and you know what you
23:00
know I've mentioned that these you know multi-million pound
23:03
business owners how they've had so many knockbacks but there
23:06
are people in real life that you'll know have a think for a minute and think
23:09
about the people that you know who you go oh this is so lucky now there's a
23:14
great example now although controversy around her JK Rowling is a really really
23:19
good example so before Harry Potter became a global phenomenon.
23:24
She was rejected by 12 publishers. Now, I find this fascinating because I'm
23:29
writing my own book at the moment and I'm kind of dealing with the publisher's
23:34
market and how you get your book published.
23:36
She was rejected by 12 publishers. Now, at any point, even the first one,
23:41
I feel like a lot of people would go, oh my God, that's so embarrassing.
23:44
They don't like my manuscript.
23:46
They don't like my book. Now, she could have given up, but you know what?
23:50
She kept putting her script out there. She kept putting her book out there.
23:53
She was rejected by 12 publishers before
23:56
she got published she didn't get lucky she
24:00
kept submitting she taught herself
24:03
to become lucky she played more hands and you know what if she'd have stopped
24:08
maybe maybe not even the first imagine by rejection number five and she'd given
24:13
up that would be easy wouldn't it for a lot of publishers like for a lot of
24:17
writers if the publishers are saying, we're not interested.
24:21
This isn't good enough. This isn't going to make any money. People aren't going
24:24
to buy this. They're not going to read it.
24:26
If she had stopped at rejection number five, the world would have never met Harry Potter.
24:32
Isn't that mind-blowing? Think about that. And like I said, I know that she
24:35
comes with controversy. We get that.
24:37
But in terms of her journey, isn't that fascinating? So think about that for a second.
24:42
Or what about the friend? I think we've all got one of these now I think I could
24:47
possibly even be this friend so I don't know the friend who meets the one you
24:53
know like they meet the one and they have a magical fairy tale relationship
24:56
and you say to them or you say about them oh my gosh she's so lucky she's met him,
25:02
She's so lucky. But you know what? She also went to every event when she could
25:07
have stayed at home. She went on to those first dates.
25:10
She spoke to people on online apps. She started the conversation when she was out with a stranger.
25:16
She followed her intuition. I'm not saying this is all me, but you know what?
25:20
I was single for a very long time.
25:22
I had been in failed relationships where I just thought, is this ever going to happen?
25:27
But you know what? I constantly, consistently, I should say I consistently dated
25:33
I had good dates I had bad dates I had disappointing dates.
25:39
But you know what I took them all with a pinch of salt and I kept playing
25:42
my hand and when I thought about this subject matter for today's episode I thought
25:46
about that and I thought you know what I just kept playing I kept playing until
25:52
I became lucky and I met the love of my life and that is true and a lot of people
25:56
say oh you're so lucky you've had a fairytale relationship and I'm like, I do feel very lucky.
26:01
But in the context of today, I just played my hand more and more and more.
26:06
And that's it. And for those people, those friends that you know,
26:10
who you feel like they're lucky because they've met their partner,
26:12
this can be you. This will be you.
26:14
That's not luck. It's just that they showed up. It is that simple.
26:19
Or what about business success stories? There are so many entrepreneurs,
26:24
you know, I mentioned it a few times that will tell you the investors said,
26:27
no the product failed the idea flocked but
26:30
then they tried again I was actually listening to another
26:33
podcast Jamie Lang's podcast called what's
26:36
it called in conversation with
26:39
that's it in conversation with or something like that in conversation and it
26:43
we I want to say his name is James Wyatt but I might have just made that up
26:47
I should have done my research before but I've just thought about this but have
26:50
a look it's the guy who runs and owns Brewdog the the beer company now And what
26:56
I loved about his story is that he had this great idea.
26:59
He was brewing this beer and, you know, he hadn't made money from it yet.
27:03
He went to pitch on Dragon's Den.
27:06
And now I'm not going to get this story 100% right, I feel like,
27:10
with the statistics. But just bear with me, guys.
27:12
He went to pitch for Dragon's Den. And he said he was down in the waiting room
27:17
and he pitched to the producers or, you know, he hadn't been to the Dragon's Den yet.
27:21
And they came to him. The producer said, I'm really sorry. You're not going
27:24
to meet the dragons. We just don't feel like it's good enough.
27:27
It's not going to work, you know, along those lines. And he went home.
27:30
Now, that company, BrewDog, has been valued at over £1 billion.
27:36
Which is like it's very rare to have a
27:39
unicorn company that is valued over
27:42
a billion pounds I think even at one point it might have been valued at
27:45
two billion but anyway the point is he was laughing
27:48
about it because he was looking at something like I
27:52
think he wanted a hundred thousand pounds for like a
27:54
one percent stake in their business and actually
27:57
he was saying that would have translated to now roughly
28:01
what it was worth something like four hundred million pounds
28:04
off of their investment and they said no they didn't
28:07
see the value in it and that's where you have to
28:10
really think about what I'm saying here pick
28:13
yourself up after those no's pick yourself up after those failed dates and thinking
28:18
now I know so many people there's someone very close to me actually who would
28:22
really like to meet their partner their soulmate and they get really really
28:28
disheartened after you know maybe they're talking to someone and then they get ghosted online.
28:33
And I understand that's disappointing. I understand that sometimes you can feel
28:38
rubbish about yourself, but they spiral.
28:40
They spiral and go, right, well, this is all rubbish. All guys are rubbish.
28:44
I can't online date anymore. I can't do this.
28:47
And they kind of shut it off. And then they're not opening themselves up to
28:51
these more chances and these more opportunities.
28:53
So think about this and think about those no's. Think about all the people that
28:57
have had failed dates, no said to their businesses, people saying no to publishing
29:03
their book or to start in their business or investing.
29:06
Think about when people have said no, but actually the people that are lucky,
29:11
I bet you, I bet you anything, any business person you speak to or,
29:16
you know, the people that have been dating for ages and they've met their partner,
29:19
I bet they have all had failed attempts,
29:23
failed investors, failed dates, and now they have become lucky.
29:27
And that is going to be you.
29:30
Now, another example, let's think about manifestation moments
29:33
so let's think we do we all do vision boards I'm
29:36
hoping some of you have done your vision boards I think I did an
29:39
episode on it a while ago I don't know what number it was
29:42
but you can scroll back it will be called something about vision
29:45
boards you write down the goals you visualize
29:48
them you feel aligned and then you act
29:52
so that's when the magic happens and that's when energy meets action so it's
29:57
another example of you don't just kind of wait for it to happen you don't wait
30:02
for luck to lock at your door you go out and make it happen you act as your
30:07
future self you align your behaviors with what it is that you want to attract.
30:12
Often, luck finds us mid-action. When you move, you're easier to find it.
30:18
So think about luck as this little person who is trying to find you.
30:22
You have to put yourself in places and with people where luck can find you.
30:27
How can you multiply your luck? Now here's where it gets really juicy.
30:32
Let's talk about specific ways that you can multiply your chances this week.
30:37
Whatever it is you're trying to attract, whatever luck you are trying to bring
30:42
to you, let's think about this. Number one is the 10 times rule.
30:46
Whatever number of actions you'd normally take, multiply it by 10.
30:51
That could mean send 10 more DMs, post 10 more times on your stories,
30:57
reach out to 10 more people.
30:59
You will instantly expand your opportunities.
31:03
It's that simple. Just think about it. Anything you're doing,
31:06
any actions you're taking, multiply it by 10 this week and do it 10 times more.
31:11
Reach out to 10 times more people. Maybe reply to 10 people on your dating app.
31:16
Whatever it is that you're doing, just multiply it by 10 and you will instantly
31:19
expand your opportunities.
31:22
Number two is the one more rule. Every time you want to stop, send one more message.
31:30
Make one more phone call. pitch one more idea.
31:34
That extra step is where the magic often happens. Just one more.
31:39
You're just showing the universe. I'm really in it to win it.
31:43
Three is the visibility game. For seven days, focus purely on visibility.
31:50
Post more, speak more, share more, network.
31:55
Ask yourself daily, how visible am I right now?
32:00
Visibility multiplies luck. make yourself more visible.
32:05
Number four is the curiosity challenge. Ask five new questions a day to people, to life, to yourself.
32:16
Remember curiosity is a magnet for new energy and lucky coincidences.
32:22
Just become inquisitive, become a little bit more curious, speak to people,
32:28
ask five new questions a day.
32:31
Even when I say even to yourself, five new things to yourself,
32:35
what would make me feel really good this week?
32:37
What would help me align with meeting my partner this week? What do I really
32:42
like doing that raises my vibrations?
32:45
Curiosity is a magnet for new energy. The universe loves curiosity.
32:52
Number five, are you still with me? I hope you are.
32:55
Number five is the room test. So once a week, put yourself in a new room.
33:02
Now, whether that's an event, a class, an online space, or even just a new cafe,
33:10
every new room is a lottery ticket.
33:13
That's what you need to think about. Put yourself, pick you up and put yourself in a new environment.
33:20
And like I say, it doesn't actually you have to mean physically going somewhere.
33:23
It could be an online space, an online room, a membership.
33:26
But also try and think outside the box. You may want to take yourself out every now and again.
33:31
Just think about every new room is a new lottery ticket.
33:36
It's a new chance at winning at life. Number six is the no fear of no game.
33:43
The no fear of no game.
33:46
Every no means you're one step closer to yes.
33:50
Every no that you get, every unanswered
33:53
message you might get on Bumble or Tinder, think of it as a game.
33:57
So rather than being disappointed, disheartened, think of that as like,
34:00
great, I'm one step closer to my yes.
34:03
So whatever no you might get these next few weeks, turn it around and think
34:08
you are one step closer to yes.
34:10
Rejection is redirection and it is the Absolute secret ingredient to luck.
34:17
The energetics of luck. Let's just zoom out and talk about energy for a minute.
34:22
Now, we know we are all made up of energy. We love energy.
34:26
All of our, you know, law of attraction work, it's all built on the foundation of energy.
34:33
And lucky energy is open energy.
34:37
It is the frequency of possibility.
34:40
It is walking around like something amazing could happen to me today.
34:45
And I quite often get up. Now, sometimes I don't know if it's intuitive because
34:49
I quite often feel like I have psychic thoughts.
34:52
I don't know if it's intuitive or if it's me saying I'm going to have something good happen to me today.
34:58
But sometimes I get up and I go, you know what? I feel like something amazing
35:02
is going to happen to me today.
35:04
And quite often it does.
35:06
More often than not, it does. Just think about that for a minute and walk around
35:10
today and think something amazing is going to happen to me today?
35:13
And make sure you make a mental note of it. What happened to you today?
35:17
What was that good thing that happened to you today?
35:20
It's about being in an expectant state, a trusting, light-hearted vibration.
35:26
When you are kind of in an expectant state, you're basically open.
35:30
You know how I said that lucky energy is open energy?
35:33
It's showing yourself that you're open.
35:35
Whatever opportunities are coming, I'm here. Luck can find me today.
35:39
You don't need to be perfect to get lucky. You just need to be available.
35:45
Lucky people are not desperate.
35:47
They are ready. they're open to being surprised they
35:50
believe that life is working with them you
35:54
are working in tandem and that is the most important thing to believe and to
35:58
remember that belief alone attracts opportunities when you expect good things
36:04
you start noticing them when you expect good things the law of attraction the
36:09
universe will start bringing them to you and when you notice them you act on them.
36:13
And that is where manifestation and luck meet. It becomes energy and action.
36:20
And that manifestation and luck, oh my goodness, it's manifestation and luck kind of baby.
36:27
You are it. And that is the way that I want you to remember it. What a lovely fusion.
36:33
So there you go, guys. You are going to create your own luck.
36:38
You are going to become lucky, even if you don't think you are,
36:41
after today's episode, you are going to become lucky.
36:45
You are going to create your own luck. You are going to welcome your own luck.
36:50
You're going to be open to luck.
36:53
Now, luck isn't about chance. It is about frequency.
36:58
Think about that. You increase your luck by increasing your attempts.
37:01
It is that simple. You create more opportunities for miracles to meet you.
37:07
This is what I'm asking of you to think about and to do.
37:11

37:58

38:01

38:04
