How The Law of Attraction Made Me A Successful Stockbroker

This is a true story that took place in 1988-1989:

I was a newly-minted stockbroker with a major brokerage house, wearing the only three suits I owned on a rotating basis, and I had a family with five mouths to feed.

My own family was not from the city I now lived in, and regardless they were not from money so I had no contacts to call on to build my business.

Selling financial services, especially for the big brokerage houses is one of the hardest sales jobs there is. First of all you are selling a risky product that can lose or gain the client money despite your best efforts. You can be as honest as Abe, do all kinds of homework, study the markets thoroughly and still lose money for your client.

Second, there is the low commissions. By the time the house takes out its fees, the broker is lucky if he or she gets to take home 1% of the investment amount (more often it is a fraction of that 1%).

Finally, small investors will make you poor. Only six figure investors will support your business. The problem is, there are just not that many people out there who have hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest. And those who do, already have a relationship with a financial professional5B4.

So it is a brutal game. Somehow I had to get clients. I had to get the right kind of clients who had investable assets, and I had to do it quickly because the brokerage firms have unforgiving quotas that had to be met or I would soon be out the door and my clients would be distributed to the older brokers.

But I did survive and I did make money, and the way I did it almost seemed like magic. I had unwittingly discovered the Law of Attraction and it helped me feed my little family through one of the toughest career ordeals in my life.

I wrote out a couple of simple affirmations that I repeated to myself at least 50 times a day (although there were days I repeated them up to 100 times just because I needed to keep my faith alive). Here they are:

Every day, more and more new clients are being brought to me who want to do business with me.

New clients, who want to do business with me and who want to invest substantial assets, are being brought to me every day.

As I said, the results seemed like magic. One month I was on the edge of failure and absolute poverty. The next, I became an account-opening machine.

I can't begin to tell you where all these new clients came from. Referrals, people I would meet at social events, people who would call into the office after hours or during the lunch hour, total strangers I had handed my card to months earlier,90F etc.

The point is that I never stopped working to bring in new clients (back then cold calling was legal and I made a lot of cold calls). But the truth is that most of these new clients came to me from sources unrelated to my hard work.

I did notice, one interesting thing about the Law of Attraction. I couldn't just sit back and expect new clients to come my way if I didn't work. When I stopped cold calling, I stopped getting those new clients from random sources like referrals or incoming calls out of the blue. But when I started working my butt off again, the stream of new clients started coming in again.

Try the Law of Attraction for yourself. Expect the results you need to come to you. Expect to manifest these results and expect to create into being these things. But don't start working.

He now teaches others how to use neuro-linquistic programming (NLP), subliminal technology, self hypnosis, and other methods to make major changes in their lives.
