I had no real job, no money and no family.
I seriously thought about what it would be
like to live in my car. “But what if my car is
repossessed?” I thought. I quickly pushed
that thought away.
Yeah, I was at my all time low.
And that’s when I turned the corner. I stopped
struggling and began to methodically
take one day at a time, with an important
caveat—I followed The Map.

“Hey,” I thought, “this map worked for
money and career, why not love?” And so, I
followed it.

THE MAP CREATES LOVE
I met Richard through a mutual friend. Yeah,
a blind date. “I know you don’t do blind
dates,” my friend persuaded, “but this just
feels different…”
And different he was. We were married on
a tiny island in Fiji four years after we met.
Oh, it wasn’t all sappy happily-ever-after.
We had struggles. Big ones. We separated
not once but three times. We didn’t talk for a
year and during that time each of us became
engaged to other people.

THE MAP CREATES ABUNDANCE
Within days I had a part time job.
It didn’t pay much, but just a few weeks
later I was offered a full time job. And within
two years I was given part ownership of a
company. In another year I was full owner of
my own company (that investment cost me
a whopping $50).
And five years after that, that company was
producing sales of $5 million a year, without
investing another dime.
Yeah, The Map worked.
And what fun I was having! I loved my
work—I couldn’t wait for Mondays. The
money was an added bonus.
But my love life was struggling. I longed for
a deeply committed relationship. I wanted to
grow (and grow old) with someone who truly
loved me and vise versa.

But each time it wasn’t working, I went back
to The Map to figure out where I had taken
a wrong turn.
The Map works—every time—for every
area of life.
Lots of people have heard about the law
of attraction—yet most have some major
misconceptions about it. Contrary to popular
belief it isn’t something you have to “apply”.

WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH

If that weren’t enough, I was failing miserably
at the multilevel marketing job I clung to
as my only hope. My home slipped into
foreclosure as the bills piled up faster than I
could open them, much less pay them.
