The Book Advance.

I go with the premise that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are powerful beyond measure.
I had written a book and submitted several manuscript submissions to agents and it was quiet for a while.
I wanted a one million pound book advance and that was it. For days, I dreamt of all the things I would do with the money.
The main ones were being being able to give my parents 100,000 pound checks, pay off my education loans as well as my brothers and fiances. And to meet with my fiance to have the best one month together in his country before he comes to England to settle down with me in our apartment, one that I would have gotten ready from the money.
It came to a point where all day, every day my thoughts were consumed with my new life. I wrote an email to myself from the agent stating that they want to offer me a one million pound advance for the book.
March 2015 my wish came true exactly as I had wanted, one million pounds for my book! Just in time for my holiday.
Phenomenal!
