Real Estate and the Law of Attraction!

Some of you may think the Law of Attraction is a hokie way of thinking positive but I'm hear to tell you that it's not. I first started practicing the Law of Attraction a couple of years ago when the Chicago Bears were going to the Superbowl in Miami. I have been a Bears fan since I was 10 years old and it they hadn't been to the Superbowl since 1985. I knew I couldn't wait another 20 years so I had to figure out a way to see them this time. And living in Naples made it easier - it was just a 2 hour drive.

So, what do I do? Pay $4000-$5000 per ticket to sit in the nosebleed section? That was an option, but not what I really wanted to do. So, I started practicing the Law of Attraction. Every single day I visualized myself sitting there at the game. I visualized what I was wearing, how excited I was, and who I'd see there. Whenever the phone rang, I would say, "Oh, those must be my Superbowl tickets." Every night before I went to bed that's what I thought about - for almost 2 weeks.

It was looking a little grim the Wednesday before the Superbowl but I didn't give up. I met with a client and told him that I'd have to cancel our Monday appointment because I wouldn't be back from the game in time. He replied, "Oh great! How'd you get tickets?" When i told him that I didn't actually have any yet, he looked at me like I was crazy. I was kind of starting to believe it myself but knew I had to be there to witness Devin Hester, Brian Urlacher and Rex Grossman in person. I had to - so I kept on believing!

The next morning my phone range and it was my best friend, Lew. She said, "Girl, pack your bags. My boyfriend got us Superbowl tickets!" Oh, and let me add, not only did he get us tickets, he got us BOX SEATS! So I sat in a box and got to see Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake, Bob Costas, Kevin Butler...you name it, they were right in front of me. We also were invited to the NFL Network party and a host of others. It was amazing. So amazing, that the fact that the Bears got totally killed didn't even bum me out too bad.

So, by this time I was totally convinced that the L.O.A. totally worked, so I decided to manifest a listing in Port Royal in Naples. (Homes start at $4.0 million and go to $30 million). I did the same thing - visualize, visualize, visualize - and of course believe! Within 2 weeks, I am riding my bike with a client who lives in Port Royal and out of the blue he asked me, "Mindy, do you think you could sell my house for me?" Well, after I picked myself up off the side of the road from wrecking, I said, "of course". There again, the L.O.A. and now I have a $5.5 million dollar listing. The incredible thing was, the owner just moved there 2 years ago and told me at that time he planned to stay there for life.

You probably can figure out that, of course, I used the LOA and sold that house - oh yeah, and found him a $3 million one. I could go on and on about the other instances, but I think you get the idea.

The Law of Attraction is not new, Naplolean Hill and Normal Vincent Peale have been writing about it since the early 1900's - though they called it the Power of Positive Thinking. Call it what you want - just do it! It works!!
