Today is the start of your richer life.

And it’s the start of effortlessly creating your First-Class life. I’m thrilled that you’re joining me with my new book, “Get Rich Lucky Bitch: A Guide for Exceptional Women to Create Outrageous.”

This is a journey.

Because, yes, your path to riches really is a fascinating journey, and I know you picked up this book because you’re ready. It’s your time and you’re ready for the next step.

When I ask clients and women in my seminars to tell me why they don’t make as much money as they want, this is what I hear:

• I’m just no good with money.
• I’ve reached the limit of my earning potential.
• I’m doing great: it would be greedy to want more.
• I should be earning more, but I’m afraid it will cost too much (in terms of health or relationships).
• My partner takes care of our money.
• I’m just afraid to even look at my finances.
• I wish I could just win the lottery.
• Money just isn’t that important to me.
• I have a good life, and I should just be happy with that.
• I’m smart, but I just can’t seem to break through to the next level.

It actually doesn’t matter why you believe you don’t earn enough, because whatever you come up with is just a story you’re telling yourself. It’s not really true, and it also doesn’t have to be that way anymore.

I’m on a mission to change the world through helping women to become rich, because I believe:

• Every woman deserves to be as rich as she wants.
• Every woman deserves to feel safe and taken care of.
• Every woman deserves to be treated like a VIP.
• Every woman deserves a First-Class life.
• Rich women change the world.

I’m going to teach you how to become an amazing money manifestor. It means that you’ll be able to create money at will, whenever you want or need it, and that you’ll enjoy the process.

It sounds like a big promise, but I can assure you that when you follow the steps, it works. No exceptions.

Manifesting is simply the art of transmuting a thought (a dream or a desire) into reality so that you can touch and experience it for real. It’s not just about having a great mindset.

Yes, you can work on having a “millionaire mindset,” but it doesn’t always translate into actual dollars in your bank account (maybe you’ve noticed this!)

Like you, I didn’t want to be ordinary. I didn’t want to live in my small, cramped apartment on the outskirts of town, full of cheap Ikea furniture put together (badly) by my nonhandy hubby.

I didn’t want to walk to work in the rain, or worry about paying the bills. Most of all, I didn’t want to depend on anyone for money.

So, while my friends were climbing the corporate ladder, I spent my time going to conferences and reading abundance books. I felt like there was a missing puzzle piece, though.

There must have been something I was missing.

The idea of manifesting was awesome, but I needed to know the specifics and the logistics. What should I do next?

And then what? Is there an order I should follow? Am I doing it “right”? Where’s my money?

Now, as a coach and mentor to thousands of ambitious, entrepreneurial women around the world, I’m constantly asked questions like:

• Denise – what affirmations are the best?
• What’s the right way to make a dream board?
• How should I word my goals?
• How many times a day should I write out my goals?
• Which works better: Emotional Freedom Technique or Access Consciousness?
• Do subliminal meditation CDs really work?

Here’s the answer: Try it all. It all works.

My philosophy is throw everything at it. It’s your life, and your dreams deserve to be fulfilled – no matter what it takes.

There’s no perfect way to word your affirmations, and there’s not the definitive dream board software. Everything that you do compounds over time and helps you to achieve your goals; you just have to be consistent and persistent in manifesting your wealth.

Don’t get too caught up in one particular tool being the silver bullet that will change everything.

When I was manifesting my goal of traveling for six months, I tried everything, every day. I did it all – visualizing, goal setting, EFT tapping, journaling, forgiving, dream boards, etc – to make my dream into reality.

The Universe had an interesting way of bringing the opportunity to me – via a travel competition.

But I wasn’t trying to manifest a competition – I just wanted to go traveling, and I was willing to make it happen no matter what. It’s like the competition got swept up in my desire – not the other way round.

Every day, I made at least ten to twenty little subtle shifts to tell the Universe that I was serious about wanting to travel the world for six months with my husband.

Before I even knew about the travel competition, I got obsessed with my goal.

The Money Manifesting Formula

In a nutshell, here’s my five-step formula for manifesting money (or anything else):

Step 1: Declutter everything in your life.

Step 2: Decide exactly what you want.

Step 3: Surround your life with positivity.

Step 4: Take inspired action.

Step 5: Receive and fine-tune.

This formula can be used to manifest literally any goal in your life.

You can use this formula to manifest your next car, a new job, five new clients by Thursday, your future husband – anything.

As you practice using the formula, you’ll start to receive what you ask for: even money. Simple as that. You don’t have to be incredibly smart or particularly lucky to follow it – it just takes practice.

The best thing is that you won’t just manifest “stuff” – the way I did when I started winning scholarships and prizes.

When you follow the steps with a particular focus on money, it will become effortless. Money will start coming in from everywhere.

The formula is designed as a continuous cycle: if you get to Step 5 and your goal hasn’t yet manifested, go back to Step 1 and start again.

There’s always more to declutter, and always more to clear. You can get even more specific; you can take even more inspired action; and you can practice the art of allowing even more abundance into your life.

It seriously works every time, if you follow it.

My Manifesting Formula is not an intellectual exercise that you need to sit with and analyze to death.

The thing with the Law of Attraction is that just thinking it isn’t enough.

You have to feel it, and every cell in your body has to believe it.

You have to get into the space of living abundantly before the means to live abundantly actually show up in your world.

Before we start putting the Manifesting Formula into action, here’s some “pre-work” that will support your new relationship with money.

To get yourself ready for more money, you’ve got to be a good steward of every penny, cent, or dime that comes into your life now.

Acknowledge Every Cent

Let me tell you a harsh truth: you can’t manifest money when you feel broke. You might think I’m missing the point – after all, why would you be reading this book if you already had all the money you needed?

But that’s the frustrating paradox of the Law of Attraction. You’ll only get more of what you ’ve already got.

Keep Track of Your Money

Here’s the daily habit that will change your relationship with money. If you take nothing else away from this book, do this one thing:

Starting today, keep track of the money that comes into your life.

Track every cent – whether it’s from your salary, gifts, money found in the street, bonuses, or an inheritance.

Big or small, track it every single day; and most importantly, feel good about it. This will truly change how you feel about money, and attract more of it to you like a magnet.

With this exercise, you’re starting to train your awareness to look for more money opportunities.

By paying close attention to all those extra little bits and pieces of money that come your way, you’ll start to activate the Law of Attraction.

Remember: like attracts like. So the more money you realize you have, the more money will start flowing to you.

Make a commitment to track your money every single day for at least a month, because what gets measured gets improved.

Plus, when you’re aware of what’s coming in, it’s a wake-up call to take more action. You might get motivated to send out more invoices, to follow up with potential clients, or to chase unpaid debt.

Remember: What gets measured gets improved.

Tracking simply gives you the information that you need to hit, exceed, and adjust your goals as you get better at manifesting and keeping money.

Focus on what you want to grow

You are smart enough. You are ambitious enough. You are enough, and you deserve to be as wealthy as you want, now.
