#200: How To 'Actually' Manifest What You Want

Instead of just wanting, wishing and hoping.

Something bizarre happened last month.

I enrolled in a 30-day 'The Art of Manifestation' quest on the Mindvalley platform, by Regan Hillyer, one of world's great manifestation teacher, . I was asked to set both short-term (30 days) and long-term (6-12 months) manifestation goals.

Given my focus on developing my educational email ghostwriting business, I set a short-term goal to secure one of Mindvalley's coaches as my ghostwriting client by April 30th. For the long term, I aimed to write and publish a bestseller in the self-help category before the end of 2024.

Both these goals seemed a far cry when I set them at the start of April. Reaching to Mindvalley's esteemed coaches is challenging enough, let alone pitching my services to them. And my chances of writing a bestseller comparable to the works of James Clear and Mark Manson are next to none.

But I went with those goals anyway. I guess driven by curiosity. Besides I was in a good mood, and wanted to test the manifestation theory. After all, I had nothing to lose.
