I need help in learning how to use the prosperity tape. I received the tape a month ago and have been listening to it almost daily but haven't seen any changes at all so far. Therefore, after reading thru the forums I think I need to modify how I have been using it.
First off - I usually listen to it in the evening when I won't be interrupted, or right before I go to sleep at night. I follow all instructions and have a clear goal in mind before I start. I haven't changed my prosperity goal every other session or anything - just wanted you to know what I've been doing thus far.
I want and need to see more prosperity in my life regarding my finances. I am in sales - gifts for all occasions - trying to run my own company from home - and doing terrible. I received the prosperity tape and stated that I would like to see more people join as subwholesalers. I'd like to sign-up one new subwholesaler with each new ad that I place.
That has been the consistent goal each time.
So far nothing. Am I not doing this correctly ? Is there anything that I should change ? Would it be better for me to state that I want to be more prosperous in my gift business and then state an X amount to earn each week ? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Your goal can be specific, but the ways to achieve the goal should not be limited. For instance, do not state a specific amount of money or number of clients you want to bring in each day. Why set a limit?

Focus intead on what a prosperous home business can bring to you, rather than the money or the sales. Money is just one possible means to an end. Think about what higher sales can bring to your life and Incorporate this into your goal. Who is to say HOW your ideal end result should work out?

Also, make sure that your goals are:
1) Realistic and within your control
2) Measureable and testable
3) Stated in positive terms

A goal such as,"I want everyone to like me," for instance is something that is not within your control. To strive for better, more meaningful, and prosperous relationships in your personal life or work, on the other hand, is a much more realistic goal. Do you see the difference? Do not limit yourself with your goal statement.

Good luck!

I'm a little confused. I thought that when you set a goal, such as finances, you should set a specific amount. Say I want to make a consistent weekly income with my home business - and that is what I ask for as my goal. Wouldn't I state a specific goal - starting out realistic of course - and work my way up from there ? If I start making $25.00 a week, won't my subconcious think that the goal has been reached ? I just want to make certain I'm using this the correct way.
Thanks,

I suggest you take a different approach, rather than just a finacial goal have the goal that you enjoy the business.

My sister in law has a similar home business, where she sells products and had subs who also sell and get others to be their subs. In the first 2 years she was doing 'exactly' what was expected of her. Went backwards $12,000 in the second year alone. I kept telling her to change her approach or quit. It took me a couple of months to fix up her records so that she could see for herself. When she did she decided to quit the business. She like the product so much and had a few customers that like it also that she decided to just continue selling to her exisiting clients. Forget the parties, forget looking for subs, and forget trying to get 'upline'. She just did what she wanted to do to the level she wanted to. Now she has more time with her kids and funny enough she decide that since she wasn't trying to get upline herself that she would spend a bit more time helping the one or 2 subs that came along.

Now 8 months after telling her to quit, she does less, has more and stable subs, less party bookings and heaps less cancelations on party yet they turn over more. What she did was change it from the have to do to I want to do and only need to do what I enjoy.

True prosperity is having a business you enjoy that allows the money to come in at a enjoyable rate. I suggest you use the prosperity tape to see yourself enjoying your business and the income it produces and feeling good about helping others. Rather than specific targets or amounts let your enjoyment set those levels for you.

Yes, your mind will think it reached its goal. But think of the possibilities if your goal was to be prosperous in your finances and business. A specific goal is good, however, if you tell yourself you will make $25 more per week...what if you could bring in $500 or $1000? Why set that limit for yourself? It's like saying, "My goal is to finish high school," because you think that is a more realistic goal, but what you really want, is to get a college degree. Getting the high school diploma is one step toward your desired goal. Don't put limits on yourself. Sometimes it's better to think of sub-goals to your major goal, goals that will get you to the end result you desire.

Remember, your thoughts and your goal statements work like instructions that affect your capabilities. Ultimately you need to take action and change what you are doing if what you are doing currently isn't making you happy. Paraliminals are a tool that can help you do this.

Make sure to review your day. What did you do that brought you closer to your goal? What did you do that might have hindered reaching your goal? Then tomorrow, you can use what you learned to move closer to your desired goal.

And, terrific comments AlexK!

I have used the prosperity paraliminal too
for now ca. one month.
I focused on rising up the ladder in the
software house were I work. Not only climbing up but delivering a niche market service.
During the time and after listening to the tape I felt great. That feeling continued to
grow. About a week ago I got a key idea and
a few days ago I presented it to the management team.

I become an instant hit, the right time the
right place. I bet that's just the beginning.

I think I will also use the Automatic Pilot
tape as well.

I have noticed some changes since listening to the prosperity tape, but not in the direction that I wish to go. I have noticed that for the last 2 weeks money has been seeming to stretch like rubber. Ex: I've paid all the bills, bought groceries, paid for my daughters birthday, with money to spare. Usually just paying all the bills leaves me broke, so this has been fantastic except for one thing, the money is from my husband's paycheck. When listening to the prosperity tape I have focused entirely on my homebased business, which is where I need to see progress, as I will be depending on that income alone soon. But so far nothing in that department.
How do I get "my" business off the ground - not my husbands ? I don't see how I can be more specific than I am already being.

I gave an example of a goal statement in an above post, to have prosperity in your home business and finances. That is specific, measurable, and realistic, isn't it? You still haven't said what kinds of things you are doing differently since using Prosperity? Listening is absolutely a good step toward your goal, but if your actions don't change, even just a little bit, then your results will stay the same. A tape cannot literally bring you money, YOU can! The tape is a tool to facilitate this. Can you see that setting a specific money amount as your goal will set you up for failure if you do not achieve that specific amount? You stated that you want to see progress in your home business, well that's a great goal! Then, even the smallest amount of growth in your business shows that you are moving toward you goal, and there's no limit. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Take a few days off listening and witness any changes, however minor, in your attitude or motivation in your business or personal life.

Relax,its only been 5 days since your orginal post it takes a while for the universe to organise itself.

One more idea. It sounds as if what you really want is to be financially independent, with your home business as your means. How about using this as your goal?
