 <\/p>\n

Today I am happy to bring you a guest post from my husband Ryan, who is quite the law of attraction maven himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

He is sharing a few key tips on how he used LOA to build a successful online business and become an island hopping fool. Hope you enjoy it!\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I am no Gandalf. I wish\u00a0<\/em>I\u00a0<\/em>was. Because I’m obsessed with the Lord of the Rings series. Too obsessed. Like, I watched each movie over 100 times obsessed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, I don’t wave a wand and manifest results using the law of attraction. I ain’t that good. I am however fairly adept in the department of living my dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelli and I retired to paradise using LOA principles. Sure we smacked into resistance along the way; going broke, being depressed, struggling to grow my online ventures \u2013 mind you, Kelli and I NEVER had a fight (sarcasm alert!) \u2013 but in the end, I write these words today from a villa in Jimbaran, Bali. A football-field sized property. A luxury villa. Where we happen to be house sitting for 6 months. Pretty sweet, eh?<\/span><\/p>\n

I left my 9-5 job behind to build a full time income earning blog, over at Blogging from Paradise<\/a>. That blog has helped me live in places like Fiji, Bali, Thailand, Laos, Costa Rica, Peru, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia for months at a time. I am blessed to be paradise living BUT I followed practical advice to mold this life.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can’t manifest by sitting on your duff. Unless you’re enlightened. And since Jesus Christ may or may not be subbed to Life Made to Order, I’ll proceed based on the supposition that he may not be an active reader. MAY not, but could be, aight KC?<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, this is how I retired to the tropics, to paradise, using the law of attraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

1: I Got Clear on Why<\/span><\/h2>\n

I set an intent; I intended to free me, and to free you. Said intent got clearer after I released plenty of energetic junk in the trunk. Too much crap spewed into my life, and me, being the dingbat I was at the time, held onto junk. But I let go what need to be released, because I wanted to free me and to free you more than I wished to cling to crap. More on this in the next step\/tip.<\/span><\/p>\n

LOA devotees, the law of attraction<\/a> is always in action, reflecting back to you your dominant intent. Your experience is a mirror. Change the experience by changing the intent. Intending to free me and you inspired me to publish an eBook a week, to start my blog in the first place, to connect with leaders, and to feel good throughout the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s the key: I needed to feel GOOD much of the time. Good, means good. Good, means sometimes,a bit uncomfortable. But my freeing vibe permeated the Universe and it created freedom for me. I didn’t go after money; striving for outcomes is binding, not freeing. Nor for fame, although Oprah, if you’re listening, I guess I can do an interview from Bali, Skype-style, to spread the Blogging from Paradise word.<\/span><\/p>\n

I intended to free me, and that freeing vibe, freed me, and freed a ton of folks around me. LOA 101; your dominant vibe\/intent mirrors back to you, through your experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

2: I Let Go<\/span><\/h2>\n

I let go old friendships, old bonds, and an old way of living. Tough to retire to paradise if you’re living in a spot you don’t feel is paradise. New Jersey rocks on many levels, but to me, it’s not paradise. Bali, Phuket, Koh Lanta, Manuel Antonio and Penang, these spots are my view of paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Different strokes for different folks of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, I retired to become a full time income earning, pro blogger, using the law of attraction, by letting go my employee, security guard job, and by letting go old bonds, and an old, worn out life in NJ. Ya can’t be in two places at once, energetically. Kelli, feel free to quote me on that when introducing this post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ya can’t be an island hopping, full time, pro blogger, and a retiree at that, while holding employee, New Jersey, energy. So the purge made this happen. Kelli and I sent out freeing energy by buying tickets to Bali without a return flight ticket. Four years later, to the day, we are back in Bali, after traveling the world, and we’ve only returned to NJ to see friends and fam here and there.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LOA is always in action, and gives you what you intend. Most people intend chaos, and get it. Kelli and I intended a clear, focused energy, and made what seem to be bold moves \u2013 booking a flight, no return ticket \u2013 but the Universe doesn’t know boldness, it knows clarity. The Universe doesn’t know BALLSY, it knows direct.<\/span><\/p>\n

Universe, I love you for being simple, and clear. It can only give you something when you are aligned, not just because you want it or are trying hard to get it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This letting go feels highly uncomfortable, but it’s the freeing vehicle through which you move from an old life into a new life. Letting go precedes growing. Let go!<\/span><\/p>\n

3: I Acted with the Freeing Intent<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now folks, I have slowly improved my neat manifesting abilities over this trip. I struggled for a while, even when I generated a full time income online in paradise, because I acted with a bound, scared, desperate intent. I switched things up though a while back and most of the time, I acted to free me and you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wonderful things happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

My eBooks were endorsed by New York Times Best Selling Authors and Ambassadors for Oprah Winfrey’s network and by million dollar earners. Humbling deal, to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

I detached more from outcomes, and I focused more on giving, because I was acting from a freeing space. It’s one thing to follow step one; to set the freeing intent, to get clear on your why. After that why question is answered, by you, you’ll let go the stuff, the bad energies, the packed suitcases of energetic poop, that you held onto, because your former why was connected to being bound.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, after you get rid of that stuff, you are FREE to be the person you want to be, and then, that means acting. With the freeing intent. And when you do that, you’ll attract the people, ideas and circumstances, to retire to a life of island hopping, in paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years I have moved away from vision boards and all that stuff. Each works so well, for people, who it works for. Energetically, I felt like the dreams were OUT THERE, and that energy pushed away my dreams. I manifested a different, struggling, miserable life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, when I took this 3 step approach, I felt free, and I let go of binding ideas, people, circumstances, and my old life, and then, I acted largely from a freeing, inspired space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I acted from an uncomfortable, scared space, because I am human, but acting from a free space most of the time, creates a freeing vibe, which attracts to you the freeing actions, people, ideas and circumstances, and experiences, to live your most freeing dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s all energy guys. That’s the basis of the law of attraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe I appeared to wave a wand, to manifest this neat life but in the end, I took 3 basic steps, that I take regularly, to manifest my most freeing life. For me, that version includes living in paradise, being retired from the grind of the 9-5, and being a full time, professional, prospering blogger.<\/span><\/p>\n
