Hey guys, welcome back after I recorded my last episode on the Law of Attraction and how to

manifest and what that even means and how it's worked in my life, the feedback was just insane.

You guys loved it. It's a really, really highly listened to episode of mine. So I wanted to do a follow-up episode all about

the common mistakes that people are making when it comes to the law of attraction. Some books,

for example, The Secret, which I did enjoy. It's one of the first things I actually read that kind of got me

I'm trying to like, I guess guide you along the pathway, the journey towards using this whole thing right and trying to make as much,

trying to get as much out of it as you possibly can.

The first big mistake that people make is expecting that it's going to happen very quickly. It's not to say that some things might not manifest

themselves quickly, but as a whole, I think we have this instant gratification mindset where

everything happens for us so quickly these days. We have everything at our fingertips,

we order something, It comes the next

day. We can just do everything so much quicker. The internet's faster. Our phones are faster.
