I resigned from work a few months ago to start my business. I had known about The Secret book for years now. I had tried to read it a few years ago but I couldn’t seem to get past the first few pages. About a month ago, a friend of mine and I had a conversation about the Universe and she mentioned The Secret. So I borrowed hers.

Fast forward to last week. I had one of my usual ‘pop-up stores’ that I do on Sundays. The place where it was held was dead quiet. It was supposed to be a flea market but I was the only vendor there. I sat there almost the whole day without any customers. We had less than 40 people who came through on that day.

As I was sitting there, I figured I might as well just read while I waited for more people to come. I was still reading The Secret and I happened to be reading the chapter that spoke about a man who wanted a hundred thousand dollars and then a million dollars. It was also the chapter about blank checks and money. There I was setting a goal of R1500 sales for the day. It seemed impossible considering the crowd we had. I kept meditating on the R1500 amount throughout the day.

Later in the afternoon, I walked by a group of 7 people and there were 3 ladies in that group. To make a long story short, they bought 4 handbags that amounted to R1200. And then I sold a pair of shoes for R300 to one of them. I had bought the shoes for myself as a sample, to see if I could sell them. But the shoes matched her handbag and it was her perfect size. There I was with R1500 worth of sales! I now want to use The Secret for even bigger things!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
