- You need to have a strong desire and motivation, and the commitment to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goal.
- You need persistence, concentration, the ability to visualize, and at least some degree of self-discipline.
- You need to learn to recognize opportunity when it appears, and to be willing and ready to take and use this opportunity.
- You need to be willing to act and take the required steps whenever needed, and not just wait for your desires to materialize from thin air or suddenly drop on you from the sky.
In order to take full advantage of the law of attraction you need to know certain rules and follow them. It is true, some people achieve great success, without knowing much or anything about the law of attraction, but they intuitively use it correctly.
The law of attraction is not a method for getting rich quickly, without doing anything. It requires mental work, focus and visualization, and also the willingness to follow the mental work with any required actions on the physical plan.
The law of attraction can manifest your desires in many ways, sometimes obviously and directly, and sometimes in an indirect way, through various steps. Sometimes you might attain your goal in a sudden or miraculous way, and at other times slowly or indirectly, one thing leading to another. People might offer you help, a new job might open, an idea might pop up in your mind, or you your intuition might tell you to follow a certain course of action. These are just a few of the many ways, through which this law can help you manifest your desires.

Making The Law of Attraction Work For You
The law of attraction is not a new idea. It has always been here from ancient times, and people have always used it. Hunters, who painted scenes of hunting on the walls of caves thousands of years ago, used the law of attraction. Businessmen, who visualize and plan what they wish to accomplish also use it. You use it too, whenever you think, make plans or daydream.
Books on this subject started to be popular more than a hundred years ago, but the authors of these books did not use the term "the law of attraction". They called it the law of opulence, mental power, mental magic, the power of thoughts or creative visualization. It is the same law, the same power, only with a different name.
William Walker Atkinson, Richard Ingalese, Opheil and many others, have written books on the power of the mind to attract what one thinks about, many years ago, and these books are still popular and available nowadays at bookstores. Other known authors are Joseph Murphy, Napoleon Hill and Wallace.D.Wattle. Later, Shakti Gawain wrote a book on the subject and popularized the term "Creative Visualization".
All of these books are on what is now termed "The law of attraction". As you see, it is not a new subject, but due to the media, it became a "hot" subject today. If you look around in bookstores, the Internet, TV and the newspapers, you will find many new books and articles on this subject budding every day. It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, just a change of terms or names.
The message of all these books is that if you keep thinking upon a certain subject, you will ultimately attract it into your life. Thoughts, mental images and feelings can move the subconscious mind and the Universal Mind to act on your behalf and manifest your desires.
This is a most inspiring and elating idea, and is the reason why so many people are fascinated by what the law of attraction can do.
The fact is that inspiration and feelings of elation are not enough to make this law work. You need to know what to do and how to proceed; otherwise you will get no results. Just thinking for a little while about what you wish to achieve is not enough, and might lead to disappointment, discouragement and losing of faith in the law of attraction and the powers of the mind, if you don't get immediate results.
Reading books or articles on this subject awaken a sensation of power. The realization that you can transform your life and create success brings excitement and hope, but these feelings can change into disappointment and frustration, if you don't know what to do next.
If you are told that you can attract anything you want into your life, but are not provided with the proper guidance and practical instructions, how can you proceed?
It is not enough just to think about or visualize what you desire for a few minutes, and then let doubts and disbelief fill your mind for the rest of the day.

Increase Financial Literacy to increase Wealth!
Albert Einstein said Compound Interest is the 8th Wonder of the World!
When Albert Einstein discovered the Compound Interest Rule of 72, he said that compound interest is the Greatest Invention because it provides a Systematic Way of Increasing Wealth!
What exactly is the Rule of 72? Simply stated, it estimates how many years it take for your Money or Debt to double in value. All you have to do is simply divide the number 72 by the Annual Rate of Returns you get from your savings/investment.
Eg. if you earn 3% annual returns on your savings, it would take 72 divided by 3 = 24 years for you to double your money. Eg. if you earn 3% on S$10,000, it takes 24 years for you to double the money (Grow the money) to S$20,000.
Increasing Returns can help You Retire Young, Retire Rich!
However, if you can earn 7% annual returns, it only takes about 10.28 years for you to double your money. Thus, by increasing the returns on your Money, you are actually gaining Life (well, if you think about it, Life is the years of you live). So imagine, by increasing returns from 3% to 7%, you save about 14 years of your Life to double your money. Thus, if you want to Retire Young and Retire Rich, you ought to start making your money work harder for you rather than just you working so hard for your money.
The most amazing thing about the Power of Compounding is that the Power GET Bigger and More Powerful Over Time. If you have S$20,000 and earn 3% returns, over 40 years, your money grows to S$65.2k. However, if you earn 7% returns, over 40 years, your money grows to S$299.5k, or 359% MORE!
Rule of 70 to calculate Impact of Inflation
Another not so commonly known rule is the Rule of 70, which basically measures how many years it takes for your money's buying power to halve (drop by 50%). Thus, if the inflation rate is 3.5%, using the Rule of 70, it takes about 70/3.5 = 20 years for S$1 to become S$0.50.
With Inflation in Singapore running at over 7% in April and May 2008, what it means that if inflation continues at 7%, it takes 70/7 = 10 years for S$1 to become S$0.50!
What are you doing to protect yourself against Inflation?
So how to protect yourself against Inflation? The only way other than working harder to increase your income, is to make your Money Work Harder for you. You need to aim for your money to get an annual returns of about 7% or higher to be Richer.
