When Life Pulls You In a Certain Direction
An Arabic Tea Shop In Malaga, Spain

They say there are four levels of personal transformation.
  1. Physical
  2. Mental
  3. Emotional
  4. Spiritual
I was on a phone call with a successful forum member who has done over $10 Million in revenue in his life. We began talking about spiritual philosophies as it applies to experiencing life the way we want to experience it and how they have helped him grow his business.

On the call, he mentioned he doesn't talk about these things with other people because they will say he is crazy. I don't mind being called crazy, so that's why I'm making this post for you! Throughout this post, I'll steer clear of any religious interpretations of anything and keep the frame with how this approach can help us in growing our businesses with more ease.

Level 4 - Spiritual
In the book The Millionaire Fastlane- MJ talks makes an analogy about everybody living in a Matrix. Just like the movie, you take one pill and you wake up and see the world for the way it really is. You take another pill, and you remain asleep forever, living inside of the system.

When I first read his analogy, I always viewed this through the lens of looking down at Slowlaners not seeing the world the way it works. As Fastlaners, we are awake to look at people droning away in a life that's not for them.

But it wasn't until five years later before I started interpreting this analogy more literally.

I always grew interested in the idea of being able to hack the reality we live in in order to live the life we want to live. In spiritual teachings, they say there is an inter-connectedness between each and every one of us. I'm sure that you may have picked up MJ's book at a time in your life when you needed it the most. When I booked my ticket to the first Fastlane Summit - it was something that just happened without any thought. I've put off other decisions before, but this turned out to be one of the greatest ones that I just acted on. Or just the right person appears in your life at just the right time.

This is the stage of my journey where I threw away my belief systems that included "it has to be proven by science before I believe it". Looking at this through the lens of living in a literal matrix, where when you make a change within yourself, this internal change has some type of ability to shift the actions and behaviors of other people and things as well. In some un-explainable quantum physics type sense.

I think a thought, someone across the world gets a burst of insight, and they message me about my services.

When I was on the call with the fastlaner, he said that a deeper part of you chooses to experience every single experience you have on this planet. You are in full control of whatever happens to you, and when you understand how to control your life, you don't only control your actions, but you can actually take control of the things that happen to you.

This applies to good and bad experiences. When you learn how to tap into this spiritual way of connecting with things beyond you, things begin to connect at a whole new level.

He went on telling stories about how when he chose to grow a new investment, people began appearing in his life offering him opportunities which ultimately led to making millions of dollars. He didn't have to go chase them down, but he paid close attention to the people/things that appeared in his life.

He went with the natural flow of the universe.

Trusting in the process.

In October 2016 I flew over to Granada, Spain to be with a girl I was dating at the time.

They say it is a true test of any relationship to travel the world with the person you date. If you can make it through that, you can make it through anything. Within four days of moving in with her, I wanted to cry. Within two weeks, we broke up and she said I had to pack my things and leave by the morning.

I had $50 to my name and when I tried to book a flight to Italy on my credit card, it didn't work. I tried it on all my other cards, and it didn't work. My cards were blocked from making that purchase, and the next morning I'm standing in the middle of the street with my travel backpack and suitcase, not knowing what to do.

I try to book a bus ticket to Madrid from my phone, and PayPal threw an error message.

I renew my hosting plan, I buy something on amazon, and everywhere else - my cards worked fine. The ATM didn't work for me either, so I was left with only 50 Euros.

Everything I was trying to do to get to Italy or Madrid wasn't working.

Then a message came in via Facebook from a girl I met in Malaga the week before asking how I was. I didn't want to lug my extra suitcase around Europe for three months before my return flight, so I paid 12 Euros for a bus ticket to Malaga to leave my suitcase with her.

It was the only possible option that the universe lined up for me and going there was a breeze.

On the bus ride down, I text GlobalWealth about my breakup and he says "Is this one of those 'I'm sorry' or one of those 'Congratulations' type of breakups?"

I send him a picture of the girl I'm about to meet.

"Congratulations." he replies.

While in Malaga for a few weeks, I wanted to go to an Arabic tea shop for lunch around noon.

It was closed...right after noon.

I go back to my hostel, explored the city, and had plans to get dinner with my friend at 5:30. Something came up in her day, and we had to push it back to 8, so I go back to that Arabic tea shop by myself.

Screen Shot 2017-02-15 at 1.21.03 PM.png

While there, I try to go inside (where I sat sat time) and something just didn't feel right about going inside...

I go outside and as I'm about to sit down at a table, something inside be almost pulled/tugged me away from that table and towards a bench on the other side. One woman is sitting at the end, and I say in half-spanish "es bien?" as I point at the empty seat and she nods. That's the best Spanish I knew...

She answers the phone and starts speaking a few words of English, so when she is off the call I say that I'm from America, I own an internet business and I'm traveling.

Her response "Oh cool, I have a business idea. I just read a book called The Millionaire Fastlane , have you ever read it?"

Too much to be coincidence.

We talk for a few hours and exchange contact information. She leaves Spain to live in Chile and I travel around Europe for a few months before coming back to the States.

Fast forward to today - I'm in the process of re-branding and re-building my magazine business and one of them is a fashion magazine. I was in talks with someone from this forum who was interested in buying it a few months ago, but no matter how much I wanted to sell it - something always got in the way.

Just last night I'm talking to my friend from the tea shop and I'm going to have her take over the fashion magazine while I do the design/back end tech stuff for it - to help her grow her network in the fashion industry and promote her modeling career.

During our talk, she began mentioning some clients she worked with in the past: Billionaires from Dubai who pay her $2,000 per day for photo shoots. She said something which allowed me to realize they would be a perfect match for some services I offer.

Side note - Fu*king zen******* - Back in 2013-2014 he used to give me so much sh*t when I wouldn't listen to anything he said. He told me to focus on ONE magazine (A dog magazine) and the inner feeling I felt back then resisted everythign he said and I built about 20 different magazines to see what would stick. Going against all logic, I followed that intuition and this fashion magazine has about 75,000 free readers. And because I followed that feeling/intuition, I am now opening myself up to a much more rewarding opportunity in the fashion model industry.

</rant of some old memory over>

Trust that feeling...

The reason I share this story with you (of myself and the other fastlaner).

In these instances, it's almost as if we set a goal for ourselves (largely unconscious), and the universe begins to line up in our favor and pulls us in a certain direction.
  • My bank cards worked fine when it came to ordering stuff online, but no matter how much I tried to get to Italy, it wouldn't let me.
  • The only reason I went to Malaga is because of a girl I met there a week earlier. On the beach, we locked eyes from a distance and I had that same internal feeling which told me I should talk to her.
  • The tea shop was closed down in the middle of the day (in a popular tourist area) and my friend had a sudden change of plans; leaving me with a burst of insight to go to that tea shop.
  • I literally got pulled by an internal feeling to sit near that woman, and when we both read MJ's book - the conversation opened up and it led to a mutually beneficial business exchange for the both of us.
My mentor had large investment opportunities come to him almost effortlessly. Instead of forcing himself to make the deals work, he just went with the natural flow and things worked out very well for him.

How I interpret this:

When you set these goals for your life (Mental - focus on what you DO want to experience), and you tune into your emotions (pay attention to what your emotions are telling you and that internal feeling), and have this spiritual sense of the universe lining up for you, and the power to help pull experiences to you ...the only thing left is to go with the flow of where the world is taking you, and act on the opportunities that come your way.
  1. Do you ever notice a specific vibe or frequency to a feeling you get when certain important people have came into your life?
  2. "When the student is ready, the mentor appears" - Do you ever notice that just the right people appear in your life at just the right times for just the right reasons?
  3. "Coincidences" - Do you notice common themes of different people telling you to do certain things. Two people this week told me to get into past-life regression hypnosis. A guy at a bookstore and two separate business friends told me to get my new book on Smashwords. Two people from different social circles told me to take a certain type of personality test.
I'm acting on those opportunities because they came to me, and I'm trusting in the process.

When you set your goal for yourself, you will begin to notice people and things appear in your life. What if these are not coincidences, and the things that happen to you (good - the girl and the random call with the fastlaner) (bad- the flights not working at any cost) are actually the universe lining up to get you to your business goals in life.

Where the only thing left to do is to choose to take action on the opportunities that come your way, because when I noticed that I do this - things seem to unfold much more effortless than if I kept trying to book that ticket to Italy and miss out on the amazing business opportunity I described above.

By viewing the world through this sense of being connected (matrix, or whatever you want to call it), this has helped me a lot in releasing the resistance to the way things are and to be able to act on the opportunities that are already hear. Whereas in the past, I would view them as random, but by seeing them as being meant to happen - it helps me act on them quicker, and things seem to flow effortlessly.

If you put it more logical and practical way.

What would be the odds you're born into the world and INFJ (Counselor, Advocate, Protector) and be surrounded by individuals who work with Developmentally Disabled, Mentally Impaired, Alcoholics Anonymous, Death and Dying, Military, Prison Guard, and Firemen. Internships were with those in Poverty. Then end up in the Fastlane and constantly learning about Neurology, Mental Toughness, and Self-limiting beliefs. The Upper Class Mindset. Even if having two friends be killed and one of the still missing.

I don't think i could plan that if I wanted to my whole entire life span. I'm grateful for the journey, the many roads I've traveled, the experience talking with so many diverse populations, and seeing from different perspectives. I believe every single person shaped my character, contributed to me becoming the self-actualized INFJ, and being an Authentic Leader. They were all from sidewalk, slowlane, and even Fastlane.

The whole journey of the INFJ has been enlightening experience. I don't believe you can ever live a more richer life than I have. I believe this was more about getting past the ego, speaking a voice, not just for myself, but all the people in the world who can't speak for themselves. I've seen the raw animalistic nature in society in more ways then I care too through the years.

In the end I don't think there was any mistake in me being born and INFJ. This is who I am inside and out. An advocate and even in the Fastlane everyone played a part in building my character even further. If I'm ever a millionaire in life, it will because I stayed true to my authentic self, and added value to society as a whole no matter who is standing in front of me. We all play our part, we all do our jobs in people's lives in evolving people's consciousness no matter how great or small.

Raise Your Vibrational Frequency
In neuroscience, they say our outlook on life and behavior is determined by three things:
  1. Internal Representation (thoughts in our mind)
  2. Emotional State of being
  3. Physiology
Theres a whole bunch of psychology and logic behind all of this, but let's get less practical...

In spiritual circles, they say the universe is made up of energy and energy vibrates at a specific vibrational frequency.

When you adjust YOUR vibrational frequency (your emotional state of being), they world outside of you adjust to match your frequency.


Think of it this way:

You tune your radio to 107.5 but you want to listen to 100.3. While you want to experience 100.3, and 100.3 is blasting through the airwaves, you can't hear it because you're not at that frequency.

I was just chatting on Facebook with another fastlaner who said that he notices a direct correlation between the days he does meditations where he feels the energy of making money compared to the days he doesn't.

The process:

When you feel the emotions of money coming to you, and the ability to give it away no problem, you reach that "radio station" where the matrix outside of you vibrates at the frequency of abundant money.

Lets get practical:

  • When you're stuck in a rut, are you operating at a low vibrational frequency (emotional state) of scarcity and negativity?
  • When you're feeling great, great things happen to you?
When I did this the first time, I had my first $1,000+ day.
When I did this last year, I had my first $6,000+ day


And when I forget to do this stuff - I have days at a time where I get stuck in a rut.

Going out into the forrest to meditate and feel the emotions of having money flow in abudnance, and to release any attachments/fear of giving it away (signs of scarcity).

Will report back with findings!

Any update on this, @AndrewNC? This kind of stuff interests me. I believe business is the perfect medium to learn how to become in tune with yourself. I've been reading Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss and so many people recommend meditation in the morning.

A kind of interesting/funny thing happened to me shortly after reading this. I saw a thread about Wim Hof and his breathing technique. I was doing it while watching the video. Minutes after I finished it and sitting here slightly relaxed, my mom sent me a text message with a link to the Dept of State. In that link was some business related things, but one was about veterans being exempt from having to pay business fees. I didn't know about it a month ago so I can't go back and ask for a refund (I tried and LegalZoom is giving me a hard time); however, now I know in the future that I can bypass having to pay the state's filing fee if I have to file for any reason again.

I just thought it was interesting that I read this thread, did a few short minutes of meditation, and then I get a link telling me I can save money.

Do you think you wouldn't have got the link if you didn't do those things?

Maybe he would care less and didn't read the whole thing and make that connection.

Like Wim Hof said, connection is power, if you become an alchemist in life you can always create good situations out of anything by creating the right connections.

I probably still would have. I mean, I'm not going to sit here and try to say it was a direct result. I just found it interesting how the sequence of events happened.

I do believe that there is a spiritual side to life and I try to listen to that voice. Some people may say it's God speaking to you, your intuition, or your subconscious. Either way, when one is in tune with that inner voice, it could place you in favorable situations.

Any update on this, @AndrewNC?

Oh god yes...

For the women I met in the tea shop in Spain:

1. She is going to take over one of the magazines I built the other year to build her brand as an international supermodel.
2. Right after I made my most recent post, my friend messaged me after seeing the cover of the magazine and begged to get on board. He wants to reach out and do all the interviews/connections with models for the magaine.
3. Someone I randomly messaged the other day to write sales copy for my other business says he wants to target high end products, and I suggested the fashion niche. He said he wants to write sales copy for products that cater to men. I offered him to bundle a free promo in my magaizne to help him get sales. And when we sell ad space to large brands like Gucci, etc. - I could possibily hire him to do all the copywriting for that.
4. Some guy who I hired on upwork years ago messaged me last night asking if I needed a website build (right after thinking we'll need a new site for that magazine).

For my personal life:

A few days ago I sent an email to my friend Alyssa saying I'm looking for a female to travel the world with and translate my happiness book in different languages. A few minutes on my newsfeed, someone in a digital nomad group made an intro. She is absolutely beautiful, publishes a happiness blog, and has the same ambitions. 80 other people commented on her post....

Either way, I've got a call today with the woman who's going to run the fashion magazine - I have to update that and do about a million other things.

Sorry, I see this and alarm bells are ringing out loud, red flags are raised and I can here James Randi's voice warning of woo woo.

There is no such thing as vibrational frequency, it's utter nonsense used to fleece the rubes.

Look, I gotta admit some skepticism about some of the stuff @AndrewNC uses, but given his proven success I'll listen. Doesn't mean I buy into all of it, but I'm not gonna hardcore criticise the methods of someone that clearly gets better results than I do.

Second, he posts all this shit for free on here, who's he trying to fleece?

I stated that I'm not sure about everything Andrew posts about, but, he has achieved more success than I have, so I'm willing to listen to him. Thanks for looking out for my credulity, though. :clench:

What I really took exception with, honestly, is the implication that he's trying to take advantage of anyone.

Idk about the whole metaphysical aspects, who knows.

But I believe in general 'vibes' and intuition.

There are people I've met who emitted positive 'vibes' of confidence, content, etc. and I felt drawn towards them.

And I've encountered many people who gave off negative 'vibes' of neediness, anxiety, etc. and I did my best to avoid them.

One could argue it was just emotions caused by body language cues, biochemical responses, + a number of other sensory inputs but I think there is something to it that can't be quantified.

Seems science is still researching the theory or origin. So we shall check back in fifty years from now. :)

Well, thats a complete and utter non-sequitur. We have evidence there is life thus we have evidence that it must have started. We also know that in montmorillonite clays amino acids can replicate themselves without any outside intervention. Do this enough and you will get replication errors leading to rna.

So yes, we have a pretty good idea. Of course seeing as we can never go back to the exact conditions when life first started on Earth then we can never be sure.

But we do know that there is zero evidence for vibrational frequency that you can change through the power of your mind.
That is new-age nonsense. However, if you believe in these things then the power of placebo does take hold and an influence can be had. But not for the reasons stated. And of course from the OP, there is a positive mindset, which of course has an influence.

But Vibrational frequency.. nope

I think you misunderstood my "Fleece the rube" comment. I wasn't accusing Andrew of that, and if it came across that way it shouldn't have. But there are a large number of people out there who do try to fleece them. If you look at the likes of Doctor Oz, David "Avocado" Wolfe, Joseph Mercola... the list goes on and on. Multimillionaires who have fleeced many vulnerable people out of money with quackery. That I do take exception to. Maybe on a forum like this there will be people who say fair play, there was a buck to be made and they did. Of course that is their prerogative.

contributed to me becoming the self-actualized INFJ, and being an Authentic Leader. .


since we are talking about the spiritual entrepreneur, your job is to help people whith you spiritual gift : introverted intuition



let me explain


INFJ is the rarest MBTI type. found in 1 % of the population

you and i share the same general pattern : introverted intuition ( i am INTJ , the second rarest type of the MBTI after you )

so what doest it mean ?

introverted intuition ( INFJ and INTJ ) means this : the 6 th sense

" excited by the unknown"

Whatever You Ask For Is Delivered
Imagine for a moment that "the universe" delivers opportunities to you when you ask for things you want. Instead of "trying to get these things" I want - with this mindset, I already get it....and my job is to simply not f*ck it up (which I have a long track record of doing). But we live in a world of abundance so more opportunities are always coming our way.

Manifesting Bad Things & Opportunities

If you focus a lot of your thoughts on the negative thoughts or the things you don't want - this is where your focus is. I first learned about this in psychology. The Reticular Activating System (RAS). Out of the 2 million bits of information that bombard your senses at any moment, you only consciously notice 150 bits (0.000075%).

When you focus on exactly what you do want, you begin to notice things that get you there.

Let's stop being practical...

But what if your desires and thoughts control things that happen outside of you?

This started when I was talking to a B&M business owner who wants to have an internet business and live in a different part of the world. When he set a goal of making more money, an amazing business opportunity came his way for a local business.

But his REAL goal was to be in a different part of the world.

All of a sudden, he began having problems pop into his life with his current businesses. Lots of struggle and frustration one thing after another.

What if these problems are caused by his desire to be somewhere else and this is the universe pushing him in a certain direction?

When he switches his focus from "I want out of this business and into a location-indepdant one" to "I want to increase revenue and sell this business by July" - perhaps better things will start to come.

It's this incongruence between what you're doing and what you truly want which causes the bad things. Maybe?

Then I had a convo with another fastlaner on FB where we talked about this philosophy. After he set the intent for an new business - some craigslist type of hustle began having problems.

When he set an intent for a different type of business, "bad things" started to happen.

So what if you know exactly what you DO want, and stick with one path and be congruent with what you want?

In my life:

I noticed this in my relationships.
  • I set the intent to have a girl to travel around the US with. I matched a 20 year old on tinder who said she wanted to do this with me over summer vacation. She parties and drinks all the time and won't lead to a lasting relatoinship, so I thought to myself I wanted something different. Bad things happened (she faded out of my life)
  • Then I realized I wanted someone more mature. Things faded away with that first girl, and I began matching with other more mature girls with slowlane jobs but no desire to travel.
The universe was giving me what I asked for, but in both cases, it's not what I wanted.

I asked for a more mature woman who is free to travel. A few days ago I sent the following email to my friend who messaged me after not seeing her for 3 years. Her message was wayyy too religious for me, so I toned it down a notch and talked about soulmates and bringing happiness to earth...Below is an exerpt from waht I said to her.Screen Shot 2017-02-17 at 8.44.02 PM.png

Then, after waiting a few days, the exact girl I asked for appeared in a facebook group I'm a part of - and her goal is to spread happiness to the world too and believes in soulmates:

So the girl who believes in soulmates, wants to spread happiness to the world, is into my philsoophies, etc. matched me a few days after I asked for exactly that.

Out of the 50 people who commented on her post - her and I got wrapped up in conversation all day.

Perhaps the "bad things" that happen in your life are signs from the universe bumping you in the direction you WANT to choose to walk in life?

-The store owner who got a new store but wanted freedom else where - bad things happened with the new store.
-The other fastlaner who said he wanted a sign if he should do a new business, and the cops showed up on his (legal) craigslit hustle)
-myself with thinking I wanted one thing (20 year old party girl - I'm 30) and then thinking I wanted a mature woman (9-5 employee), and then asking for exactly who I'm talking to now.

Focus on exactly what you DO want in life, and notice the things that come into your life.

If something is off key, adjust what you ask for, and ask again.

INFJ is the rarest MBTI type. found in 1 % of the population

you and i share the same general pattern : introverted intuition ( i am INTJ , the second rarest type of the MBTI after you )

so what doest it mean ?

introverted intuition ( INFJ and INTJ ) means this : the 6 th sense

" excited by the unknown"
Just imagine being 1% of 7.5 Billion People World Wide. This makes me a rare individual. I've taken that test at least 20 times in the last three years. Usually end up INFJ/INFP and of course mistype INFP because I perceive before I judge. And my son is an INFP. There's a distinct difference. We laugh at this time to time, because it's classic when we make choices together about something. I find in my paternal side of the family we're all INFJ's, INFP's, and INTJ's. So it is quite interesting you can see a family pattern generation to generation.
