I
first met Lawrence on one of my earliest Feel Free to Prosper
teleconferences in 2004. At the time, he was just crawling out from
personal bankruptcy and awaiting the birth of his first son. He was
determined to make meaningful changes in his business and life.
Here's
how it happened, in his own words.
Lawrence,
take it away...
How I Manifested 1.7 Million Dollars (And More...)
(From:
Lawrence Bernstein)
Hello...
In
a moment, I'd like to share with you how Marilyn's 'Feel Free To
Prosper' teachings helped me to manifest 1.7 million dollars in just
a year...and much more.
Now,
I understand this may seem like an unfathomable sum of money.
If
someone had told me even two years prior to that wondrous manifestation
that such things were possible, I would not have believed it. At the
time, a simple walk to the mailbox filled me with dread because I knew
I'd be greeted with a batch of bills I'd have trouble paying.
It
felt like I was living under a financial dark cloud, yet somehow I kept
my dreams alive: the things I wished to do, places I wanted to travel
to and experiences I hoped to have kept me motivated. Yet, with each
passing day it felt like the flame inside burned a little dimmer. My
lack consciousness kept me shackled this way for years.
Gratefully,
I learned once you create the kind of prosperity consciousness that
Marilyn reveals in her training...a world of exciting possibilities
begins to open.
Now,
I'm not asking you to accept anything just yet.
All
I ask is for you to reserve judgment while I share my experience with
Marilyn's 'Feel Free to Prosper' teachings.
In
late 2003, a marketing colleague, Glenn, told me about extraordinary
things that were happening in his business since he began working with
his prosperity mentor.
"A
prosperity mentor," I thought to myself. "What's that?"
You
have to remember, this was years before The Secret movie
which seemed to usher in a period of prosperity and law-of-attraction
teachers on every street corner.
So,
in January of 2004, Glenn invited me to a teleconference in which his
prosperity teacher would be speaking. I paypaled my enrollment fee and
dialed into the conference line just before 5:00 pm. After the usual
introductions and ice breakers, Glenn introduced Marilyn.
Some
of the callers were clearly familiar with her work, early students who
proudly related financial and other manifestations, even after years of
clogged, negative thinking and results.
Irrational
Optimism
I've
always been an optimist -- even a bit of an 'irrational' optimist --
that's why I was on the call.
But
it was hard for me to shake the feeling of the 'man-on-the-street
skepticism' I'd observed and slowly let myself begin to feel -- after
years on the hard scrabble streets of New York.
I
wondered to myself, "What if this call turned into a Shirley MacLaine,
New Age rah-rah session?"
"Well,
the worst that would happen is I'd be out some dough," I thought to
myself. And since my baby boy was about to be born in two days, I owed
it to myself to at least give this woman a fair hearing.
About
20 minutes into the call, I slowly found myself gravitating to the real
meaning of Marilyn's words. While many of the concepts weren't
completely new, I'd never heard anyone put it together the way Marilyn
did that evening.
Marilyn Walks
the Walk...
What
inspired me most about Marilyn was she was a woman who walked the walk
and talked the talk.
She
was a pioneer in the events planning industry with plentiful
multi-national clients and articles about her to back it up in
prominent press like the Los Angeles Times. It
was vitally
important to me that she made money in a real world business prior to
becoming a prosperity teacher. And now she was teaching us the
same prosperity principles she used to build that renowned business.
In
short, I knew I could trust her.
The
call lasted another two hours but flew by in what felt like a fraction
of that. As the call wound down, I had the feelings of calm, clarity
and resolve.
I
immediately dove into the lesson work and took a copy of it with me to
the hospital for the birth of my son two days later.
Do the
Work...Get the Results
Once
you begin Marilyn's program, you may find yourself wondering: "Can it
really be this simple and work?"
But
as you may have found in your own experience, the simplest things are
often the most powerful. For this reason, Marilyn created the teachings
to avoid information overload. This is the key.
Because
once you start getting results and confirmation that the principles do
indeed work, your confidence in your results grows. Your faith in the
process will be as strong as your expectation that a light
will go
on when you flip a switch in a dark room. It's a simple proposition. Do
the work and get the results.
And
the results did come.
Though
they were relatively small at first, they were confirmation of the
process, like a lighthouse beaconing to a ship in a dark harbor.
Marilyn
mentioned the two-week marker as an important milestone for a true
shift in consciousness to occur. And Lord knows, I had so much
cluttered and dysfunctional thinking, especially related to money and
finances, that it was a small miracle to notice things starting to
happen for me in as little as two weeks.
A Laser
Accurate Manifestation
Back
in early 2004, just after beginning the 'Feel Free to Prosper'
training, I developed a passion to become a marketing consultant.
And
I was particularly captivated with the training by a man I'll call
'Mel.'
I
continued to do the 'Feel Free To Prosper' lesson work while I became
absorbed in the free training modules on Mel's website. I dreamed about
getting a seat to Mel's consulting seminar but the $20,000 enrollment
might as well have been $200,000. I was nowhere close to writing a
check that large.
Then
one day, I got a call from a marketer who was promoting Mel's training.
Let's call him 'Bill.' Bill had inquired about my copywriting services
in the past, though we never managed to ink a deal. This time, Bill
asked me if I'd be willing to audit (at zero cost) a
marketing-consulting seminar in exchange for writing advertising copy.
It
was an amazing moment.
But
when he mentioned it was Mel's seminar, it was
all I could do to keep my composure and reply "yes" in a casual tone.
After
speaking to Mel a few days later, it was a done deal.
I
attended the training, realizing my first big manifestation. I
was
floored by the exactness of manifesting a seat at the precise seminar I
wanted to attend.
Writing
Yourself a Check for $20 Million
But
I let the 'Feel Free to Prosper' lesson work begin to slide a
little.
After
all, I had gotten what I wanted and my money and prosperity
consciousness was180 degrees improved from where it had been.
A
few months later, I was hit by a new bolt of inspiration.
Marilyn
had related the story of struggling actor/comedian Jim Carrey in his
early days.
One
evening in 1987, Carrey drove his beater Toyota up Mulholland Drive and
stopped to overlook the Los Angeles skyline. While engaging in his
dream of a brighter future, Carrey wrote himself a check for $20
million. He dated it Thanksgiving 1995 and added the notation, 'For
acting services rendered.' It turned out his figure was conservative.
By his third film, his price skyrocketed to $20 million per picture.
After
hearing this story and recalling my manifestation of the
marketing-consulting seminar, I decided to return to
the lesson
work...and I also wrote myself a check for $1.6 million.
Why
1.6 million dollars? I have no idea. It seemed far more plausible to me
than $20 million, yet it was still up there.
While
I won't get into the "how," I'll tell you the "that." Within a year of
writing the check, I received not $1.6 but $1.7 million.
Life
changing, startling and stunning. And it all traced back to a
conference call with Marilyn from January of 2004.
Now,
you might not be surprised to hear that after this experience,
I
decided to write myself another check. But this time for $100 million.
But
it didn't take long to realize that it was frivolous from the get-go
and that I actually have no desire for such a sum. I'm delighted to
have a wonderful family and a successful business that funds everything
that I need. But I know what to do should goals and desires shift.
A
Student Again...
In
April of this year, I read one of Marilyn's tweets for a fascinating
teleconference called the "Teleclass for Business Success."
After
a hiatus from the 'Feel Free to Prosper' work, I was looking forward to
a new chapter of Marilyn's teachings. The tele-seminar inspired me to
return to her prosperity lessons with a vengeance. I'm as excited as I
was over six years ago when I took my first steps with "Feel Free To
Prosper."
I'm
happy to be an example of what can happen once you participate in
Marilyn's program. And now, I'd like to encourage you to begin your own
prosperity journey and experience the excitement of where it will take
you.

P.S.
I wonder where I'd be if I hadn't listened to my intuition and joined
Marilyn on that call back in 2004. It was one of the most rewarding
decisions of my life.
Note
from Marilyn:
It was Lawrence's idea to speak to my subscribers today and
I'm deeply honored and grateful for his acknowledgment and
endorsement. I hope it will encourage you to
trust and make this life decision.
