I am increasingly aware of what I am attracting into my everday reality these days and even though I am finding it easy to take responsibility for that and not go into "victim" mode so often I still find on occasion a situation that really gets to me.

First of all, a positive note:
I only put Adsense on my PowerBook Studio site about a week ago. The site has been due for a redesign for ages, so I hadn’t made any effort to start monetizing it because it didn’t really have any helpgful information, just more of a showcase for some of my work. Anyway I added some Google Adsense ads at the top of the page and that is it. Basically no more than two "clickable" ads on the entire site and what I noticed was that the click-through ratio was pretty high. About 30%. There are not that many visitors to PowerBook Studio just yet, but it seems that all those that are visiting are very much into the subject matter. This is a greeat feeling because the plans I have for this site give me the belief that it will be a great monetized information site, providing a valuable service to readers and, suprise surprise is a subject I am most passionate about. Go figure! More evidence that following your true passion will bring you the rewards. That’s the good news…

The not so good bit.
The encouraging number of clicks on my Google ads came from looking at my stats on Mybloglog where I have received about 20 clicks in the last week (not bad for a very low traffic site!), but my Google Adsense reports show nothing. I have had a number of email discussions on this subject with Google support and basically the response is " Nothing we can do, we do not endorse 3rd party tracking systems, possible fraudulent clicks (HOW?)". It is really pushing my buttons because no matter how many times I complain and ask them why they cannot investigate further, they come back with the same response. I feel like I am arguing with God. There is seemingly no way to move that stubborn mule way of thinking.

Now, although find it difficult to accept I realize that I have attracted this annoyance into my reality. I can’t figure out how, but I suppose that is not the point. If I can let this go then I have to trust that what I am due, if I am due anything will come to me, whether it is from Google or in some other form. However I do think this raises some practical issue for all those who have the same problem, but maybe have hundreds or thousands of clicks at stake.

1. Are Google making up their stats as they see fit and if so, how long have they been making up the rules?
2. Are Google actually receiveing any revenue from those clicks, which they tell me are not clicks at all?
3. How long will it be before nobody trusts Google’s handling of Adsense, which doesn’t actually require them to provide any evidence of what is real and what is not?
4. Has anybody even thought about question 3 before?

OK ranting over, now back to work creating the life of my dreams!

I am two weeks into my Neural Reconditioning process, which is a commitment of a minimum of 30 days uninterupted, no excuses. If I miss a day. I have to start from day one.

I am no guru of life, but as are all people, I know I am an expert in one thing. My experience. Regardless of how terribly or how admirably I may deal with a situation I can relay my experience of it as someone who knows purely from the experience itself. I think that reading stuff like that can be a terrific source of learning for anyone, so as I am learning the ways of the universe I hope, in turn I am teaching by way of sharing my experiences.

I had a torrid few days earlier on this week and after a few conversations with loved ones and supportive friends I was able to get quite a confident outlook on where I am at. I have taken on a process whereby I am reprogramming some core beliefs about myself and my abilities. I hit a bit of a wall when, without really noticing I found myself in a "hopeless and helpless" loop. I got myself stuck in an internal dialog of "How can I achieve my goals? What if it doesn’t work out? How will I deal with that situation if it happens?". Just such a powerless state to be in. I can assure that nothing is ever achieved directly from that way of being.

I have had some great advice though and it’s a normal stage of the neural Reconditioning process that I am undertaking. However stuck I have been feeling I haven’t lost the will to continue with the daily practices and exercises required to change my brain, so I know that I still have the strength that I require to get to the other side. Laser-like focus on my life’s purpose and vision is helping me to maintain the ability to let the Universe to it’s job for me as I look after my responsibility in the process. It’s so hard, even affirming to myself to keep faith and belief alive that little voice insode is trying so hard to get me to "leave the room" with it and not to believe this "nonsense. Fortunately I have found that the thing to do now is acknowledge the feeling of fear, which at times is actually nausea and to tell that voice to shut up!

I also have a belief that confusion can be a good thing. Not perpetual confusion, but when in a confused state, your mind is looking for an answer. That is better than a feeling of apathy. To anyone who is starting out applying the Law of Attraction in order to create a much bigger life for themselves I say. You are acting in a very heroic manner because it is not just about getting what you want. By succeeding in your mission you are opening a channel for more truth to be made aware of for others. You only truly inspire people when you are being who you truly are. You can only be who you truly are when you focus on achieving all that you can and being all that you can be. The Law of Attraction will not serve you any other way, so the more deliberate you are with your habits and every thought you have, the more power you have to create your life and not just have it seemingly happening to you.

It’s been quite a week!.

I have decided to go back to blog format both here at Leave The Office and at Travelling Money, my other site. Also over at Travelling Money there is a new article called Five Characteristics of a Successful Entrepreneur; Number 2 of 5 in a series from my friend Maria Palma. An infectiously positive and passionate blogger and entrepreneur herself.

Until Travelling Money is getting more of it’s own traffic I will continue to post about updates to there, to get it off the ground. It’s only a matter of time before Travelling Money will really be living up to it’s name properly.

This website is starting to do quite well in the search engines now, which I am so happy about because I think this can grow into a great place for people to discuss their dreams and get to meet like-minded people… A good place to find help in supporting you towards reaching your goals. It is with this in mind that I am going to start a forum here. I want a moderator or two, so if you are passionate about people achieving a life of their dreams and maybe you’re passionate about being a moderator! please get in touch. Nothing can grow to it’s fullest potential without the energy of a team behind it.

My Travelling Money site is gathering pace now and it’s a good feeling now to have 2 sites supporting each other. When starting new websites, a good way to help them grow is to integrate them into your own network, so that they help feed each other. As one grows it in turn allows growth for the others too.

A few new articles have been added to Travelling Money and am very grateful to my blogging friend Maria Palma (The Good Life) for writing a great article to inspire you to move yourdreams of online income into a reality. It’s called "Why You Should Start an Online Business".Thanks Maria and look out for more of her writing style in the near future.

I will also have a very interesting feature coming up soon, but I can’t tell you about that yet. It will, I believe prove great reading however.

New articles can be found here: Travelling Money Articles

Another string of night shifts has left me feeling completely drained. It seems lately that I am becoming more easily "bruised" by my working situation. I also discovered a few other office-politics-related facts recently, which don’t sit very well with my desire to maintain my positive outlook on everything.

This is more proof of the transformation of my subconscious conditioning because it’s always when a commited effort is started to re-program your habitual behaviour that you will experience what appear to be a series of personal tests. It is the automatic behavoural subconscious mind reacting to the onslought of a desired change. This is why I am coming up against various negatively-motivated actions from the outside. My mind is trying it’s hardest to stay in vibrational alignment with those old occurences out of familiarity I guess.

So my positive spin on it all is this: I am suffering increasingly in terms of my energy levels and I am experienceing tales of generally negative attitudes of others, so I am simply attracting this as proof that this situation is not congruent to my real purpose in life. Any doubts I may have had about taking a leap of faith and following my dreams has weakened significantly.

My quote for the day "I am the Champ, my voice of doubt and fear is no contender! It’s lying on the canvas and the count has begun".

It is about time I put the energy into the above mentioned website that it deserves. It is the very thing that I want to encourage people to push through that has kept the progress of this website sluggish. Procrastination! I’m not beating myself up about it because I have been doing many other constructive things, but it goes to show that the spark you initially have when you come up with an idea (In this case the domain name popped into my head and sounded great to me) can easily lose much of it’s energy if you don’t nurture it.

I have had dreams of making money without a job and my perception of what that is like has evolved over the last year or so. When I first got interested in generating an online income I was dreaming about sitting on a beach with my laptop, sipping a beer and knocking out a few articles whilst surfing the internet. The image to me was a little like being on a permanent vacation. Well as we all know being on vacation for your whole life will turn your mind to mush and there is nothing wrong with putting the hours into making your living as long as it doesn’t feel like work. If you are going to try your hand at creating a portable income, make sure it is doing something that you enjoy!

I will be honest with you now and say that although it can be easy to make money, it is only easy once you adopt a certain mindset, which is covered in more detail here. Once you know you are ready to start creating your own job, which has no fixed boundaries you really are on the right path because you are then only limited by your imagination. This picture, for example is the view from my second home. The place I intend to be living long-term as soon as possible. It provides me with that incentive to keep my focus on success.

I will not be concentrating solely on making money from the internet. I will also provide ideas and inspiration for other ways to make money from anywhere too. The internet however does help because even if your chosen method of business is not web-based the internet is the best place to start for publicity, promotion, research, support and advice when you are out there on the move. It is also possible if you are moving around frequently that you may get dis-heartened at times or lonely. It’s only natural if you are a normal human being, so the internet is a way of keeping contact with just about every aspect of life out there to give you some perspective.

So get your pen and paper and write down the draft for your website now. Don’t worry if you have to start again. Just start and you’ll find you will get into the flow. Let me know how you’re getting on, you might be able to enlighten me a little too! I am not here just to teach I am here to learn as well.

Oh yes, one other thing. Set yourself a short-term goal, like how much you are earning from your venture in six months time. Not what you think you will be able to achieve, but what you truly desire to achieve. Write it down including what it means to you to acieve that goal and let it be your driving force.

My goal by the end of October is to be making £1000 per month from this site. It’s a new site and it’s a big task, but that’s my intention. I love the fact thought of making £1000 per month from this website by the 31st October. It’s got me fired up already.

I have added a new article and a new product review to help inspire a sense of motivation and encouragement in your own journey towards a more fulfilling life. I believe that most people who stay on this website long enough to read any of it are interested in how life works and wish to learn the steps to dance with it rather than battling against it the whole time.

The article is called The Law Of Attraction: An Experience and the review is for the Dream Manefestation Wizard, which is a simple, but very effective tool to aid in the acheivement of your desires.

Has anything profound happened to you in your life that made you see that there is definitely more to life than we take for granted. I would love to hear about it and publish a selection of the most inspiring and interesting accounts, so get in touch and send them to me.

My contact page seems to be broken at the moment , so please send any correspondence to info at leavetheoffice dot com

I said I wouldn’t write a long post, but this post is an introduction to a new article on this site called The Law Of Attraction: An Experience. I feel it contains some crucial information about how this universe works and how any situation is the “right” one at the time, despite how bad it may appear.

The story starts just over a week beforehand. I normally have no trouble getting to work on time. I always leave an hour and a half before I am due to start in the evening and usually arrive 15 to 20 minutes before my start time.  Somehow, since studying various books and DVDs on applying a new mindset for success and to achieve the things I desire, things started to change. All of a sudden, it was not so easy to get to work on time. I would come up against traffic, there would be an accident ahead on the motorway or construction work on my route into work. It seemed that the more I tried to beat the traffic the worse it got. It got so bad that I even left for work 2 hours in advance and still arrived 20 minutes late. I started to realize that I was attracting chaos, which I will explain in more detail in my next article.

I then made a choice to try a completely different route into work and leave 2 hours early and not to change my mind about the route I would take. I got to work on time, but I still experienced delays. I then would have a few days off before my next shift at work, so I thought that by then this situation I was somehow creating for myself would be gone.

In the morning as I set off to return home I experienced quite a shock! A large truck drove straight into the back of my car while I was stationary, completely destroying my little old car. Almost my first thought was that I was attracting this situation and now it was a step up in terms of severity that the previous week’s so –called crises. I thought that if I was being giving subtle hints about something by finding myself stressed in traffic, then whatever that message was had grown from a whisper and a nudge to a forceful screaming in my face “WAKE UP TO IT”. As you may be aware, this website is about my desire to live a life free from the usual commute and maybe it really is time to make the break and simply choose to be free of it.

The events that have happened in the two days since are extraordinary because they have given me one-hundred percent proof that: a) The Law of Attraction is the truth and b) My wealth consciousness is on the rise, yes really.

As I sat in my father’s car being driven home from the hospital I felt really annoyed that I would now have to go into work by train. I hate the train and I said to myself. “I don’t know how, but I am driving to work on my next shift in 3 days time”. When I contacted my insurance company to go through all the usual formalities of making a claim I discovered that my policy included a courtesy car, as long as the accident was not my fault, which it wasn’t. The car would arrive the next day. “Great” I thought. “I’m driving to work!” The car would be a “like for like”. A car of similar specification would be provided, so I would expect a 5-door small hatchback, small engine and automatic. When the car arrived I nearly fell over! It was a 2 door, large-engine, sports coupe-convertible with manual transmission! My first thought was “Wow, that’s an upgrade!”. However I declined the car because I couldn’t see very much out of the back, my neck was stiff from the accident and I actually felt quite vulnerable in this car, so I was then provided with a smaller, 5 door, automatic car. However this car is a sporty, red, Italian car and is brand-new, so I have still experienced a massive upgrade, temporarily at least.

For the last two weeks I have started focusing on my “Dream car”. Something I never really thought about before, but I started putting some energy into visualizing this car as well as my dream home and my dream lifestyle and occupation. This is proof to me that in doing so my natural vibration is more in synergy with the things I want than before or to say it another way I have started to raise my wealth consciousness.

This may not make sense to some people, but I see it like this: In order for me to step up my vibration, my wealth consciousness, whatever I needed a very sharp kick to shift me out of the groove that I was comfortably running along in. The subtle hints didn’t work, the accident woke me up to it and the result of the accident provided me with some evidence of the law of attraction at work. I have been temporarily provided with a brand-new car!

The big question therefore is this: What is the ultimate message here. What am I being given the chance to see? Well, knowing my goals and what I aim to achieve as soon as I possibly can I can say that the message is for me to leave the office and to embark on my new life without fear. I have had my life spared twice now in two years and I realize that the only fears I have ever truly had is “What if I run out of money?” and “What if I fail?”, which really lead to one overall fear “What will people think of me?”. Not anymore, those questions really are for losers I’m afraid because those fears only become a reality if you focus on them.

Well I haven’t felt too inspired to post for a while because haven’t naturally been able to come out with anything worth reading. Now that I have however I am not going to put it in this post.

I’m not a big fan of writing very long posts. I’d rather save that for articles on this site, so this post is to inform you that an article will be published here tomorrow (under ‘articles’, would you believe ) that I know will interest those who already are familiar with what I am talking about when I mention the terms Wealth consciousness, law of attraction and vibrational alignment and I hope will interest those who are not.

Any concern I may have had up until yesterday about what people might think of me writing about such things is now gone, so I wish to share some recent experience and insight.

This story is definitely going into a book.
