Do This Daily Habit To Manifest Abundance And Success
A Challenging Time
In this episode, we’re diving into something that can truly transform your life. A simple daily habit that can help you manifest abundance and success. We hear about success tips all the time, but what if the key to manifesting your dream was rooted in one powerful daily practice? We’re going to explore just that, but before jumping into our topic for this episode, I have to take a moment to catch you guys up on what’s been happening with me.
First, I want to thank all of our readers for their unwavering support, love, kindness, prayers and thoughts. We have not been producing any new episodes for a while because, being fully transparent, life got a bit tough for me. Back in October of 2023, October 1st, 1 of my 5 dear sisters transitioned into what I call the heavenly round, Marcia Alethea Anderson. She was the third child of eight children.
I share with you guys that my mother was a single parent of eight children. Marcia was ahead of me by two years. She also has the same name as my mother, Marcia Alethea. Yes, life stood still for me. It stood still. To be honest, I needed to stop and be still so that I could manage my emotions around my sister’s departure. I had to travel almost every month to support my family and my mother with managing my sister’s estate. My mother was Mexican and Marcia was married, but her husband preceded her in death.
Unfortunately, my sister Marcia did not have a will. Let me stop and say this. Please look into look into a will or trust and put it in place for your family because one thing is for sure, we all are going to die. It’s inevitable. It’s going to happen. My request is for you to put a will. For some of you, you may even have to do a trust. Put that in place, please, for your family. If you don’t know what to do, if you don’t know how to get started or you’re clueless or the thoughts about it give you angst, just reach out to me. I promise I will help you.
This meant leaning on the state of Delaware probate laws because I said my sister did not have a will. Marcia lived in Delaware and I’m not an expert yet, but I can tell you this. I’m crystal clear on the state’s expectations when it comes to estate and probate. Needless to say, we’re getting there and that’s for sure. In April of 2024, my mother had a mild stroke on top of the health issue she had been battling. This setback required an extensive hospitalization, which increased my travel extensively and hindered my ability to create, let alone produce episodes.
I needed to be with my mom and be my mother’s advocate for her help and her recovery. My mother is doing better, but she’s still on the journey of recovery. We’re taking it one day at a time. Someday, it may require taking it moment by moment. Nevertheless, I’m truly grateful for the journey. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity for me to support my mom and serve her the way that I’m doing.
Although, we had some major setbacks, I’m eternally grateful that my mother is still here in the land of the living. My mother has a spirit of determination. She is committed to getting better. Her spirit alone is uplifting. Please, my request is to keep me, keep my family, and most of all, keep my mother in your thoughts and your prayers. Thank you.
New Show Format
I wanted to share the reason for my absence from the show scene. I just could not create in this space that I was in and I know a lot of you get it. I know a lot of you understand what I’m saying and where I’m coming from, but glory to God, I’m back. I’m back to being creative and giving back the way that I was created to do, serving others, sharing, giving by you, and doing this is what I was created to do. I’m back.
With all that being said, allow me to share some changes that we are implementing. You guys know that we do things differently around here. Starting with the next episode, we’re changing our format just a little bit from before the way we did things. If you remember, instead of having a variety of topics, we invited a diversity of guests to discuss the same topic for about 4, 6, or 8 episodes, depending on how juicy the topic is.
Our episodes were at that time about 45 to 60 minutes and we are going to shorten our discussion with about 2 to 3 speakers or 2 to 3 guests speaking on a topic. This will allow us to increase our topics because a lot of you want us to talk about a lot of different things. We want to get more in. By doing that, we want to shorten our discussion and our episode. In our new format, each of our guests will have about 15 to about 20 minutes to share and to get value, what I call scrumptious tidbits, but still, in that time frame, they will be giving explosive value.
Success
For this episode, I decided to do it solo because we needed to catch up. I needed to share and give you an update on what’s going on with me and all of what I’ve been up to. This is what part of this episode is about. It’s not all of it. As a matter of fact, let’s get back on to the topic. We’re diving into something that can truly transform your life. A simple daily habit that can help you manifest abundance and success. It sounds cliché, doesn’t it? I know. Don’t worry about it
We hear about success tips all the time, but what if the key to manifesting your dreams was rooted in one powerful daily practice? We’re going to explore just that. Success and abundance. As I said, it sounds cliché and you heard it before. It’s just not about working harder or longer hours. No, it’s not. There’s a lot to be said for the energy you bring to your day and how you started. This episode is about aligning yourself with the right mindset, creating intentional habits and showing up for yourself in a way that attracts the abundance you deserve.
Whether it’s journaling, meditation, affirmation, or visualizing your goals, these are daily practices out there for everyone. We’re going to help you find your daily practice. We’re going to tell you what I do. That’s what I’m going to do. Anyway, I know what you’re thinking, “Why is this so important?” At the end of the day, abundance isn’t just about money or materials. It’s not. It’s about a mindset. It’s about believing that you are worthy. You’re capable and deserving of success. It’s about being you and showing up as your authentic self. Hence, you are you, unapologetically.
We build what creates the foundation for manifesting abundance. I’ll be sharing a daily habit that will help you manifest success in your life. I’ve been on my own journey of discovering, uncovering, and identifying, like who I am and how I show up. What does it mean to be me unapologetically? I’ve been doing this for some time and yes, I have arrived. I know what it is. I know how to be me unapologetically. That’s why we’re doing this show. Not because of me. It’s because so many don’t know.
I know how to manifest abundance and what I found is that abundance is not just about money and material success. As I said before, it’s about the mindset you bring to your day. The energy you put out into the world and the belief that you are worthy. Not only worthy. You’re worthy of every desire that you have. Everything that you desire. When I committed to this one simple daily habit, it completely shifted the way I approach my goals and my life. That’s what it did and I want to share it with you.
First, let me let me clarify something. I want to clarify how I see success. When I talk about success, I’m not talking about success when you hear it or the Webster definition of success. When I speak of success, I’m speaking about the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success by Bob Burg and John David Mann. They said the five laws are the Law of Value. Your worth is determined by how much more you get than you take in payment. The Law of Compensation. They said your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
They gave us the Law of Influence. Your influence is determined by how much you put other people’s interest first. The Law of Authenticity. The most valuable gift you can offer to anyone is yourself. The Law of Receptivity. The key to effective giving is to be open to receiving. Bob and John are authors of The Go-Giver book. In this book, this is how they identify success. They said these are the five laws of stratospheric success. When you think about it, stratospheric, that’s out of this world.
The key to effective giving is to be open to receiving.
Anyway, Bob and John believe that these laws not only apply to business or success. It applies to life in general. It will usher in abundance and success when you focus on these laws. Bob and John’s underlying message of the book is that those who give a lot of value will get a lot in return, i.e., abundance and success. We’re not just doing some cliché abundance and success. I just wanted to lay the foundation or the groundwork of what we’re talking about, what I’m talking about when I say success. We’re talking about the five laws of stratospheric success.
Manifestation
Next, let’s do a quick refresher on what manifestation means. Manifestation is the process of turning your thoughts, feelings or emotions, and beliefs into reality. When you manifest something, you’re using the power of your mind, your energy and action to attract the things you want in your life. Here’s the thing. It’s not magic. It’s not scary stuff. It’s about aligning your actions and your mindset with your desires. That’s where daily habits come in about aligning. That’s what I said, your mindset and your desires. Aligning those things, but we’re going to do that by using daily habits.
Manifestation is not magic. It’s about aligning your actions and your mindset with your desires.
Habits are the small actions that we take every day to shape who we are or who we want to become or who we become. If you’re trying to manifest abundance, success, or anything else, having a daily habit that supports that goal is key. Why? It’s because consistency is what builds momentum. It’s what keeps you focused, grounded and aligned with what you want to attract. It doesn’t have to be something complicated. It just has to be something you do every day with intention.
The Daily Habit
What’s the habit that I’m talking about? It’s simple. Gratitude and visualization. Here’s my point and here here’s how it works. First, you want to start your day with gratitude. Every morning, I get up and I think about what am I grateful for. I say, “What am I thankful for?” Every morning, before you get into your day, stop. Take a few moments and focus on gratitude. Think about what you are thankful for. Be intentional. My thing is to write it down. It doesn’t have to be a lot. Write down a list of 2 to 3 things that you’re grateful for in that very moment.
That very moment, when you open up your eyes, before you jump into your day, do that. It can be as simple as something like, “I’m grateful for my health, my family, and my spouse. I’m grateful that I can breathe. I’m grateful that I can stand up on my own without assistance.” You can share an opportunity that is available or that’s real, your reality and achieving your dreams or living your dream. Why grateful? Why gratitude? Why? You know and I know it shifts your mindset into a present and positive abundant space.
When you are focused on what’s going right in your life, you attract more of it and it’s abundant. You attract more of it. See yourself being successful. After practicing gratitude, I want you to take 5 minutes or maybe 10 minutes to visualize literally visualize the success and abundance that you want to manifest. Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and picture yourself implementing 1 of the 5 or all 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success. Let’s go over those.
Visualize yourself, the Law of Value. I want you to see clearly your worth. I want you to see yourself giving much more of yourself than you take back or take in payment. I want you to see that. Visualize yourself doing that. I want you to see yourself greatly serving many people because your income is determined by how many people and how well you serve them. That’s the Law of Compensation. We’re talking about success.
Visualizing. I need you to visualize and see yourself influencing many people because you’re putting other people’s interests before yours. Stop and visualize it. See how you’re putting another person’s interest first. That’s the Law of Influence. The Law of Authenticity is stop and see yourself. Visualize yourself giving the most valuable gift that you have to offer. Visualize yourself giving you because you are the most valuable gift you can give. Visualize you giving yourself, your true self, to the world. The Law of Authenticity.
The Law of Receptivity, all of what you do hinges on this law. That’s what I think. Visualize yourself staying open to receiving. It is coming together. Receiving. One of the things we don’t know how to do is receive. Who taught you how to receive? Who taught me how to receive? No one. I did not know how until I sat down and I thought about it. How do you receive? How does someone that is giving you a compliment know that you are receiving? They don’t.
Let me just say this. You may say thank you, but just by you saying thank you doesn’t mean that you receive it. It may be something that you exchange in your hand. If it exchanged one hand to another, yes, you received it. What about a compliment? When someone gives you a compliment, what do you say? Thank you. How will that person know that you will receive the compliment and it just didn’t go on one ear and come out the other?
This is what I do. When someone gives me a compliment or give me an accolade, I say, “Thank you. I receive it.” I do my best to have my palms up because I want to receive it. That is the position of receiving. I want you to visualize 1 or all 5 of these laws. That’s what I want you to do because visualization trains your brain to believe that it’s possible and that energy is what attracts more opportunities and abundance in your life. It’s that simple and that’s it. Give 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, or 15 minutes of gratitude. You decide.
Abundance And Success: Visualization trains your brain to believe that it’s possible, and that energy is what attracts more opportunities and abundance in your life.
Visualization, maybe 5 minutes of gratitude and 5 minutes to 10 minutes of what went well. You’ve got to write them down, and then five minutes of visualizing. Visualization each day. By doing this, it can completely shift your mindset and open you up to abundance. You’re in the mindset to manifest. When it opens you up to abundance, you can manifest in that mindset.
Importance Of Gratitude And Visualization
Let’s talk about why this habit of gratitude and visualization is so effective. First, gratitude raises your vibration. We’re all energy. Everything is energy. When you’re grateful and you express your gratitude about things, it raises your vibration. It literally puts you in a state of abundance by focusing on what’s already good in your life. When you combine that with visualization, you’re priming your mind to see your success.
Your brain doesn’t know the difference between something you vividly imagine and something that is real. When you visualize your success daily, you’re programming yourself to take action and align with that reality. Remember, thoughts become things. The more you focus on abundance, the more you attract it. Remember, I said visualize. Let’s look at the five Laws of Stratospheric Success. Let’s visualize that. Consistency is key.
Practice Tips
I know the hardest part of any habit is sticking to it. You agree, sticking to it is the hardest part. Here are a few tips I want to share with you to make sure you stay consistent with your gratitude and visualization practice. It’s commitment. Let’s start with commitment. You have to commit to doing this. Commit to it. Commit to making it a part of your routine. Attach this habit to something that you already do daily, like brushing your teeth. That way, it becomes automatic.
I wanted to say something like drinking coffee in the morning, but everybody doesn’t drink coffee. I don’t drink coffee, but I brush my teeth at least twice a day. Let’s make it part of a routine and keep it simple. Don’t overthink it. Don’t make it hard. Don’t make it long. Keep it simple. Your gratitude list doesn’t need to be very long. It can be just 1 or 2 or maybe 3 things and then you’re visualization doesn’t need to be complicated. You don’t have to do all five. You can do one and just focus on one. Focus on what feels good in the moment. Set reminders.
We all have cell phones. Mine is right here. On them comes alarms, so set a daily reminder until it becomes second nature. What are the things that I do? I do this with scriptures or affirmations or quotes. I tape it to the mirror in my bathroom because I’m looking in the mirror every day, especially when I’m brushing my teeth. You can tape it to your mirror. Set a reminder. We look in the mirror, as I said, every day and setting a reminder will help because we all need that little nudge. We all need it. Set reminders.
Here’s one of my favorites. Celebrate your small wins. I don’t care if it’s a micro-baby step. Celebrate it. I like celebrating, anyway. Celebrate your small wins or your micro wins. Each time you practice gratitude or visualization, acknowledge the shift in your energy. Pay attention to that and when you do, celebrate that. I love ice cream. I’ll celebrate by getting some ice cream, but celebrate that and know that you’re moving closer to your goals. For me, my favorite scoop of ice cream helps me celebrate. The best. I’m just sharing.
Once you start this daily practice, don’t be surprised if you know there are changes in your mindset or in your energy. You’ll start seeing opportunities that are coming your way. The more you focus on abundance, about being you, about believing that you’re worthy, about your capabilities and believing that you’re capable and that you’re deserving of success.
I’m talking about Bob and John’s version of success that we talked about. The more you start to see it and reflect it in your daily life, the more that’s going to happen. You’ll start seeing that. We know it’s not going to happen overnight. Stay consistent because it’s a process and trust the process. Trust the process and watch things unfold in your life.
Show Up

It’s about showing up for people in your life every day, even in small ways. That’s what it’s about. It’s amazing what can happen when you show up consistently for yourself and for others.
Abundance And Success: It’s about showing up for yourself and the people in your life every day, even in small ways.
Gratitude and visualization are powerful tools that keep you in alignment with the life you want to create. It works wonders for me. I love it. The best part of all of this is you don’t have to wait. You can start now. You can start this very minute. Here’s your call to action. Take ten minutes after reading and practice gratitude and visualization. Your success, practice that. Take ten minutes.

Most of the time, we push it away or we dumb down or we hide who we are and we go with the flow.
You are YOU, unapologetically. That means being true to who you are and who you were created to be and not allowing people’s opinions to affect how you show up in life. People are going to talk. They’re going to talk. Let them talk. You have no time to be intimidated by the pretense of others and to think little of yourself. When you show up without pretense and hesitation, the world can’t dull your glamour. They can’t dim your light. Most importantly, you will be inspired to shine your light.
When you show up without reasons and hesitation, the world can’t dim your light.
Share it and help others to tap into their own brilliance. Put an end to any of this bearing mindset and begin to own your authentic self. Join me in a safe space where I initiate influential conversations about being you because you are you, unapologetically and no one is better at being you than you.
