CAN YOU PASS THE PROSPERITY TEST
Randy Gage

I was working on the copy for my Prosperity Power Experience website yesterday. I was writing about the process I used to go from a dishwasher making minimum wage to becoming a multi-millionaire.

More specifically, I was looking at the mental process I went through in changing my mindset and my consciousness. I certainly changed the way I think.

And as I have told you many times before, that is the difference.

Poor people think differently than rich people. Healthy people think differently than sick people. And happy people think differently than sad people.

I began my transformation when I had my business seized by the IRS for delinquent taxes. That was the final catalyst that caused me to stop looking outside, and look instead at my own issues of self-sabotage.

I began an intense study of prosperity, which has continued to this day. Of course I studied the classics like, "Think and Grow Rich," "As a Man Thinketh" and stuff from Getty, Rockefeller, and Carnegie. Then I went back even further and deeper, to the metaphysical teachings of Charles Fillmore, Ernest Holmes, and Emile Cady.

Now here's the interesting thing...

Millions of people have read those books. And they have helped a great many people. But most of those millions of readers did not achieve true and lasting prosperity.

What happened?

They liked the books, and they accepted the information. But they were still mired in the same thought patterns.

They wanted to change - but on a subconscious level - they were still programmed with defeatist thoughts, lack of confidence, and feelings of unworthiness.

They were programmed on a subconscious level. By TV, radio, the Internet, their government, organized religion, and even their friends and family. They unknowingly started to believe that money is bad, rich people are evil, and it is somehow spiritual to be poor. You've heard me same this before. But here is the million-dollar question...

Has this happened to you?

In fact, it is highly likely that you are right now sabotaging your own achievements. Doing things that derail your career, keep you sick, unhappy, or broke. (Or all of the above!) You can think you want to be successful, but actually be doing things to sabotage that success.

It is fairly simple to find out if this is the case with you. Take the quick little quiz below, and see if you have been infected with "lack" programming and limiting beliefs:

1. Do you secretly fear that if you became wealthy your family and friends might not like you anymore?
   
2. When you grew up, were you ever told things like, "We may not be rich, but at least we're honest!"?
   
3. Did your religious upbringing teach you that it is noble to sacrifice now, and that your reward will come in the afterlife?
   
4. Did you feel a little guilty when you started to earn more than your parents did?
   
5. Were you raised to "fit in" and not do anything to stand out?
   
6. Did you grow up liking shows like Dallas, Dynasty, Gilligan's
   Island, MASH, and The Beverley Hillbillies -- where rich people
   were always presented as unscrupulous and conniving, or pretentious and bumbling?
   
7. Do you have chronic health challenges that doctors can't seem
   to solve?
   
8. Did you ever get jealous of people with expensive clothes, cars and houses - which may have led you to develop a "hate the
   rich" mentality?
   
9. On some level do you think it is somehow noble, romantic, or spiritual to be poor?
   
10. Did you ever end a negative relationship - then immediately replace it with another one with a person just like the last one?
    
11. Have you sometimes used judgmental expressions like "poor as a church mouse," "filthy rich," or "obscenely wealthy"?
    
12. Do you make excuses for failure by saying things like, "you have to have money to make money," "you have to know someone," or "you have to get in at the top"?
    
13. Do you relish being the underdog and fighting against the odds all the time?
    
    

If you answered 'No' to all 13 questions, you have a very strong prosperity consciousness. You can probably pass this test along to someone else.

If you answered 'Yes' to three or more questions, you likely have some issues of worthiness on a subconscious level. You may be in a holding pattern, afraid to leave your comfort zone.

If you answered 'Yes' to five or more questions, you are quite likely in a self-sabotage mode, making small advances in life, but not really breaking through to the real success and happiness you deserve.

If you answered 'Yes' to seven or more questions, you are headed toward, or already experiencing a definite downward track toward serious emotional, physical, and financial challenges. This is the kind of "victim cycle" I was on when I lost everything at 30 years old.

Now if you fall into one of the last three categories, I have some resources that can help you a great deal.

Because I really did discover the secret of health, riches and happiness. I took the practical insights from Getty, Carnegie and Napoleon Hill - put it together with the metaphysical teachings of Fillmore, Holmes and James Allen - then tested and experimented, and sorted through the results to find out how to apply it in your day-to-day life.

I don't want to bore you with the details, and it's not my intent to show off. But I want you to know that I am qualified to speak in this area. But I will tell you I am living a very prosperous life. I live in a condo on the ocean in Florida, have a second place in Costa Rica, and a flat in Paris for the summers. I drive my dream car, have closets packed with designer clothes, and have the money to do the things I enjoy in life.

I ended my old pattern of dysfunctional relationships, and attracted the love of my life. Now the people in my life are my greatest treasures. My health is better than excellent, my work is meaningful, and I am truly happy.

I have spent the last five years analyzing the changes that took me from scraping half-eaten French toast and pancakes off of sticky plates - to living a lifestyle most people don't dare even dream of.

That knowledge is what I reveal in the prosperity resources I have developed. So if you didn't score the way you would like, please consider getting some of these resources to turn things around for you.

If you only answered 'yes' to a few questions, start with my prosperity book series and build from there. They are a good start on developing the mindset and consciousness to increase your prosperity.

If you were in the five, six, or seven neighborhood of 'yes' answers, you need some extra help. In addition to the books, get my "Prosperity" audio album. It is 8 discs or tapes. There is one side for each of the 7 Spiritual laws you must live by to prosper, and other segments on getting out of debt, and the principle of attraction.

If you were at the eight and above neighborhood, you really need some serious work on your belief system. You have core beliefs that will constantly keep reappearing to sabotage your success efforts.

We need to identify those underlying beliefs that are holding you back, and replace them with empowering beliefs that serve you. Nothing short of "The Midas Mentality" 31-Day program and a trip to the Prosperity Power Experience is what you need.

Both the program and the live weekend are designed to take you through the process of releasing limiting beliefs and immediately replacing them with a powerful new way of thinking.

Take some time and study up about them. I know that both the Midas program and the live weekend can make the difference for you.

You can find details about all of these products here. You'll also find some great articles on developing wealth and other prosperity issues.
