The Law of Attraction Is Failing You


Listen Later

The Law of Attraction isn't some mystical secret.

It's actually dead simple: know what you want, believe you can get it, and get your ass to work. Three steps. That's it.

So why does it fail for most people? Because they're focusing on the wrong thing. They're thinking about what they don't want instead of what they do want. They're maintaining vision boards without taking action. They're journaling about dreams without making them real.

I break down why the Law of Attraction is really just the Law of What You Think About Most, share a story about divorced women who can't stop listing what they don't want, and reveal the Harley Davidson vision board disaster. If you've been wishing and hoping instead of believing and doing, this episode is your wake-up call.


Featured Story

I work with a lot of divorced people. Men and women going through transitions, looking for what's next.

And every single time I ask a divorced woman what she wants in her next man, you know what she says?

"I'll tell you what I don't want."

Then she goes off for ten minutes. I could make coffee, pet my dog, throw the ball, come back — she's still listing what she doesn't want.

What's happening? She's focused on the past. The bad stuff. What didn't work.

So guess what she's attracting more of?

That's the Law of Attraction at work. You get what you focus on. Every single time.


Important Points

The Law of Attraction boils down to three things: know specifically what you want, believe you can make it happen, and take massive imperfect action.

Most people fail because they focus on what they don't want instead of what they do want, keeping themselves stuck in the past.

Vision boards and goal lists are useless if you never take action — stop wishing and hoping, start believing and doing.


Memorable Quotes

"Know specifically what you want, believe you can go get it, not you deserve it, believe you can make it happen and get to work."

"You get what you focus on. You ever wonder why somebody you know gets married, gets divorced, gets married, gets divorced to the same guy?"

"He was so busy on his vision board, he forgot to go live the vision."


Scott's Three-Step Approach

Get clear on what you want, not what you don't want. Stop focusing on the past failures and start describing your ideal future in specific terms.

Believe you can make it happen through action. Not because you deserve it, but because you're willing to do the work to get it.

Take action today, not tomorrow. Pick one thing from your vision board or goal list and go do it right now.
