In my seminars we use “accelerated learning” techniques that
allow you to learn faster and remember more of what you
learn. The key is “involvement.” Our approach follows from
the old saying “What you hear, you forget; what you see, you
remember; what you do, you understand.”
So I’m going to ask that every time you reach the end of a
major principle in this book, you first put your hand on your
heart, then make a verbal “declaration,” then touch your head
with your index finger and make another verbal “declaration.”
What’s a declaration? It’s simply a positive statement that you
make emphatically, out loud.
Why are declarations such a valuable tool? Because everything
is made of one thing: energy. All energy travels in frequencies
and vibrations. Therefore, each declaration you make
carries its own vibrational frequency. When you state a
declaration aloud, its energy vibrates throughout the cells of
your body, and by touching your body at the same time, you
can feel its unique resonance. Declarations not only send a

specific message to the universe, they also send a powerful
message to your subconscious mind.
The difference between a declaration and an affirmation is
slight, but in my mind, powerful. The definition of an
affirmation is “a positive statement asserting that a goal you
wish to achieve is already happening.” The definition of a
declaration is “to state an official intention to undertake a
particular course of action or adopt a particular status.”
An affirmation states that a goal is already happening. I’m
not crazy about this because, often when we affirm something
that is not yet real, the little voice in our head usually responds
with “This isn’t true, this is BS.”
On the other hand, a declaration is not saying something is
true, it’s stating that we have an intention of doing or being
something. This is a position the little voice can buy, because
we’re not stating it’s true right now, but again, it’s an intention
for us in the future.
A declaration, by definition, is also official. It is a formal
statement of energy into the universe and throughout your
body.
Another word from the definition is important—action. You
must take all the actions necessary to make your intention a
reality.
I recommend that you state your declarations aloud each
morning and each evening. Doing your declarations while
looking into a mirror will accelerate the process even more.
Now I have to admit that when I first heard of all this, I
said, “No way. This declaration stuff is far too hokey for me.”
But because I was broke at the time, I decided, “What the
heck, it can’t hurt,” and started doing them. Now I’m rich, so
it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that I believe that
declarations really work.

Either way, I’d rather be really hokey and really rich than
really cool and really broke. How about you?
That said, I invite you to place your hand on your heart and
repeat the following...
DECLARATION:
“My inner world creates my outer world.”
Now touch your head and say...
“I have a millionaire mind.”
