    Default Positive manifestation or luck?

    So today I was getting ready for work and my flat iron completely broke, like... no heat at all. My foot is sprained and I just wasn't feeling well, I considered not going to work, but then I said-- fuck it, I'll just go in, all I need to make is 250 dollars, that's it, no pressure. (enough to buy a new flat iron and some groceries). I pictured myself walking out of the club with exactly 250 dollars.

    I get to the club. It is dead. No more than 20 customers in and out all night. I didn't even hit the floor until 11 because I had to do my hair and makeup. There were no more than 5 customers in the club at one time, and the vibe was totally dead. All the girls are bitching and complaining about how it sucks. All the bouncers are complaining about how it sucks. I go sit at the bar by myself and watch the stage and get some water. A weird guy from new orleans wearing a black trench coat walks right up to me and asks for dances. We go do 4, but he gives me $120. He says he's going to get a drink at the bar across the street and he'll be back, yeahhh right. About half an hour goes by, still dead. maybe 2 custies in the club, not even sitting at the rack...he walks back in- gets another 5 dances and gives me $175. I got 9 dances. The most another girl got was 4. Stage tips were horrible. Maybe 30 bucks and I went up 5-6 times?

    So.... how is it that I made EXACTLY how much I visualized myself making that night when all the other girls (except one, who had around 100) left with around 50 bucks??

    Is it luck or positive manifestation? I think it's manifestation...I told a bouncer I manifested the customer out of nowhere and he told me I was nuts. haha. It worked though!!

    I spend time everday on the way to work, imagining myself doing well. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It's certainly luck...but I keep doing it, just in case. It can't hurt, right?

    The ones who make the money are the ones who don't worry about it--no pressure. I have seen this time and time again. The ones who are freaking out because they have to make the car payment or rent by tomorrow are the ones who wind up pissed off and broke.

    Also, visualization of your goals is well known as a key to success. It's something almost every motivational seminar, etc., will emphasize.

    Successful people have a way of creating their own luck, or drawing it to them, which apparently you just did.

    This is how it always worked for me when I danced, too. If I made a point of setting myself a realistic goal, I would make it within $20 or so almost every time.

    My problem was that I was lowballing myself. It's often harder to find a realistic goal range than it is to make it happen.

    I don't think it's positive manifestation or luck. I think psyching yourself mentally into a place where you are setting good goals and hitting them is a big part of sales work. Your customer might have felt like a fluke, but working with the flukes and the randomness is part of your sales rhythm.

    Yeah, as you are well aware, negative energy and thoughts brings negative outcomes.

    So it only makes sense that positive energy and thoughts bring positive outcomes.

    I'm a very positive energy person. It's not that negative things don't happen to me, but I don't dwell on them. I can't let negative things bring me down because I feed off energy so much. Some I can't control, but most I can. This is mostly by keeping negative people out of my life and not worrying about negative things, like my locker being robbed, or my achey back, or whatever. Bad things happen to everyone. I take care of it to the best of my ability and move on.

    That is so true. Men can sense the girls who are in dire need of money.

    I'm going to do more on visualizing how much I'd like to make.

    ^ this was like magic though, this wasn't even a customer who was sitting in the club for awhile observing the girls before he got a dance. This was a weird dude from new orleans who waltzed into the club wearing a black wool trenchcoat and just walked straight up to me and asked for dances.

    Im going to visualize $$$$ every time I work now!!!! now.... off to buy my new flat iron I manifested

    If you haven't read the Secret yet, you should (think you can download the video online easily too)... it seems like something you'd like and is very in line w/ that.

    I haven't read the secret... but I've watched it! and what the bleep do we know, and I've read a bunch of books on the law of attraction too.

    This is me exactly. I consider myself so incredibly lucky and I really believe that I am, I know it. But crappy stuff happens to me just like other people, but I don't let it really effect me.

    For the first time the other day I lost money. Like, it fell out of my purse when I was tipping out or something. I got home and I'd lost a hundred dollar bill. This is really shitty - I mean, it was a hundred dollars - but I just thought, you know, hopefully the universe gave that bill to someone really deserving. And the next day I focused on making a solid $100 over my regular average, and I did. To the dollar.

    I think there is something to be said of being thankful though and positive and keeping that energy out there. But I also know that sometimes life can simply be hard. I'm thinking particularly of when I had just turned 21 and money brought so much stress. it was rough being on my own, and lonely and having to financially support myself, it was hard for a while. So it's good to see you finding little bits of positivity Keira.

    I'm a ramblin', I'm trrrd.

    ^ i love rambling

    I did the same thing hoping that money I lost went to someone who really needed it. I lost my wallet and my LAST 60 dollars about a month ago and at first I was upset, but then I just tried to focus on the positive... I got to get a new DL picture and maybbbbe the money went to someone who needed it even more than I did (and i needed it REALLY badly)

    Personally I think a one off can be simply passed off as a co-incidence. If you do it 10 times in a row or even 10 times out of 20 I will be converted to "the secret" stuff.
    I have actually tried the visualising-and-the-universe-will-deliver stuff for a number of years. I actually think now that all it did was to leave me wide open to rip off merchants because I thought my break had come instead of being healthily skeptical about those out of the blue good things.
    Once I realised that good things don't just happen because you want it to, I stopped losing money to morons offering me fools gold, I then worked really really hard for a long long time and slowly dug myself out of the hole I was in.
    Maybe I didn't do it right. If it works for you, fantastic.
    I would love to hear if you can get consistant results with the visualisation (but then again I don't really want upon your club more crappy nights when everyone else is only making $50)

    The Law of Attraction in action!!

    I am a big believer.

    I do the same thing. I'll set a goal, and I'll make it, even if the club is dead. I think "it may be slow, but somehow it will come to me. SOmehow it always does". This happened to me the other night. I was $150 short of my goal, with only 30 min left to the night. And guess what happened? Yep, I made $170. YAY!

    This is why we must stay positive even if negativity surrounds us!

    I think that's great you made your goal! I'd call it 'self-made luck'- the goal-making was pure chance since he approached you, but that opportunity wouldn't have existed at all if you hadn't hauled yourself in despite those setbacks.

    OMG i totally did this tonight! I was all about not needing the money, but wanting it and it just came! I upped my hourly cost tonight and sold a few bottles and I was hungry and cramping. So after my VIPs i went to the bar and thought how amazing it would be if someone would just buy me dinner. Low and behold this guy comes up outta nowhere and askes me what is ate for breakfast (random much?). i told him I hadn't eaten all day. He told me to come to his table, where he already had 2 steak and lobster dinners and told me one was mine. score! and then paid me 60 bucks after I ate it ! YAY!!!I had to tell him that i totally manifested him and he was quite pleased.
