My 40 Day Prosperity Plan Experience

I have finished my first round of the 40 Day Prosperity Plan almost a month ago. I am doing my second round of the 40 Day Prosperity Plan and I am on day 28.

I found out about this challenge in July when I was on my favorite forum and there was a thread on it.

The 40 Day Prosperity Plan was created by John Randolph Price, author of The Abundance Book. I did not read the book (so many books on my list to read), but you don't have to read the book to do the Prosperity Plan. The Plan consists of 10 statements and You recite one statement each day for 40 days. You can recite the statement when you wake up or when you go to sleep. You are suppose to meditate on the statement and journal your thoughts. If you miss a day, you are to restart to day one until you go 40 days straight of reciting each statement. You begin the plan by writing a statement of commitment which is provided.

I don't think you necessarily have to do the plan exactly as it is set up. The main purpose is to form a habit which in essence will create a commitment and cause change. To me this plan help me see that all that I need is already here. I am less anxious about how things are going to be and my finances. I know that I will be alright. I have made it this far.

I changed the plan slightly for my needs. Some of the wording in the plan as far as the statements are religious in terms and I don't practice any religion (although I do believe in spirit). I just simply changed the wording that resonated more with me. I record each statement and for whatever day I am on, I play that statement over and over again while I journal my thoughts, goals, or whatever I wanted to write. I then meditate after I finish writing in my journal. I incorporated my morning ritual with the 40 day plan to fit my comfort level. I did have to start over during the first round but after I made it over the 20 day hump it became a habit.

As I previously stated before, this plan has allowed me to look at things from a more positive light and reminded me that we have all that we need. I am still a work in progress but I don't worry my nerves about things that I use to.

Many people have experienced prosperity come into their lives very quickly whether it be a new job opportunity, money some how coming out the blue, or a new car. Sometimes this happens in the matter of days other times it is months down the line. But the most common thing I have seen is that something happened to that person internally and external manifestations happened.

Its like focusing your mind on positivity and abundance and it reflects in your external world.

For me I felt a change internally although I didn't see anything externally. But I had made bonus the month after I started the prosperity plan and I am on the path of making it for this month also. Its a gradual thing for sure and I am enjoying every moment of it. There are other little things that have happened and I know it has alot to do with having positive thoughts. It is not a coincidence.

Financial Freedom: My Thoughts after readng Cashflow Quadrant

I finished reading Robert T Kiyosaki's book CashFlow Quadrant last week. I can't believe I just now found this book. It is definitely another eye opener. I now look at things way more different. I feel more confident in going after what I want and desire. It is amazing what we are taught growing up and then what we learn as we are adults. My favorite part of the book is Part II of the book which is called Bringing Out The Best In You.

He talks about how if you want to be financially free, don't work for money. As a kid I was taught to go to school, get good grades, and go to college to get a nice good paying job. I did go to college but I don't feel like a regular 9-5 is fulfilling to me. Kiyosaki talks about how him and his wife were homeless before they became financially secure. They took a leap of faith and let go of the old conditioning that many are taught when we are growing up. Although I am sure there were times they wanted to go back to the security of having paycheck but there was a bigger picture that they saw.

Right now I am battling with that same scenario. I see the end in mind (being financially free) but I admit that there is a fear of the unknown that creeps in the back of my mind. It is a very mental thing. Also in this section of the book, Kiyosaki mentions you have to be in order to do which causes you to have. He learned this from a goal setting class. The have part is the goal. What he wrote in the book is not new information. It is mentioned in Write it Down, Make it Happen, Think and Grow Rich, and You Can Heal Your Life.

We can create anything we want as long as we believe it. I do believe we create our journeys by what we think.
