It really saddens me to see that so many people struggle and can’t manifest the success they desire. And I’ve been there too. I felt busy trying out so many “tactics” (both in business and spirituality) to no or little avail.
It took me years of struggle to realize that what I really lacked were the fundamentals of success manifestation, in other words: having the right vision, knowing my true goals, and having the mindset, energy, and strategy to achieve them.
You see, to manifest success and your dream reality, you need complete alignment, and this is exactly what you’ll discover in this post!
So, no matter how many times you “failed” in the past or how many disappointments you’ve experienced in your life…you’ve made it here. My energy attracted you because we are similar. We both understand the value of living on our own terms and consciously creating our dream reality.
My mission is to help you on your journey. I have a step-by-step manifestation system for doing just that…manifesting success and creating your dream life. Yes, it requires your attention and commitment. Still, if you follow the steps you’re just about to discover, you’ll manifest all the success you desire! The system I share in this post can be used to manifest all kinds of success, such as: starting or growing a business, attracting more work opportunities, changing or improving your career, or manifesting a new job.

8 Secrets to Manifest Success on Your Own Terms
#1 Define Your Own Definition of Success and Embody It
One of the biggest mistakes you can make on your manifestation journey is…trying to manifest someone else’s success.
And it never works because everyone is different.
This is why it’s essential you define your own definition of success.
For some people, it may be running a huge multi-million dollar company and living in a fancy penthouse in a big city…
For some, it may be living in the countryside and running a small local business…
Or working a few hours from home, doing something you enjoy…
Perhaps you want to lead and coach people…
Or get a pay-rise/promotion at your current job/workplace…
The bottom line is- be yourself. And choose yourself and your own vision.
If you’ve read some of my books, you already know my story…
For several years I chased other people’s goals. Back then, I knew I wanted to have an online business and be location-independent. And there are hundreds, if not thousands of ways to manifest an online income or even a passive income online…
It’s easy to get confused…so back then, I thought the only way for me to be successful was to be a well-known social media influencer…or sell high-ticket workshops or seminars.
And there’s nothing wrong with that if that’s your actual goal and desire.
But in my case, I was only deluding myself. I wasn’t in alignment with who I really was.
You see, I’m an introvert, and I work best as an introvert. I love writing and sharing stories and experiences with my readers. This is why I struggled with manifesting success as an online influencer. I felt drained all the time!
And high-ticket offerings weren’t my calling either. Yes, they’re great for people who want to sell their products to affluent people or companies. Nothing wrong with that. But the high-ticket business model wasn’t aligned with what I wanted to do- get my message to as many people as possible…
I remember watching one of Aaron Daughty’s videos, where he shared (probably) his biggest manifestation secret- being true to yourself and following your passion. He always said that doing what you love automatically raises your vibration and helps you attract amazing synchronicities into your life. So true!
The main reason why his channel grew so fast and was able to help so many people was that he was in total alignment. He loves making videos! And he began making them every day. He took action, and that action felt natural and inspiring to him.
And as I watched him, it hit me…I could do the same by… writing my own books and publishing them on Amazon Kindle…
Aaron always said that it wasn’t until he began making daily videos that his channel grew…and he could manifest a full-time income from his passion.
So, I decided to do the same with writing. I used Aaron’s success manifestation formula, but I didn’t copy him.
I re-modeled the fundamentals and followed my passion and dreams…
BTW I also remember him saying how other people would copy him…doing the same videos, with the same thumbnails, sharing the same stories. And it didn’t work for them as much as it did for him.
Why? Because it’s all about alignment.
Now, what about you? What do you want? Is there anything you can start doing every day to get closer to your dream?
For example, a friend of mine is into high ticket sales. He loves selling for other people. He loves talking to people, identifying their problems, and offering solutions. He’s very good at what he does because…he was in alignment and had no issues taking sales calls every day.
Also, what he does is in alignment with his lifestyle and his extroverted nature. He travels a lot to different events and seminars, meets lots of people, quickly positions himself as a go-to expert, and attracts his dream clients pretty much on autopilot. He then closes deals for them and helps their businesses grow.
He embodies his desires, and his lifestyle, actions, thoughts, and feelings reflect just that.
Now, if he was to write books and articles every day, he’d feel drained.
Just like I would feel drained if I had to talk to people all the time or do sales calls. Or travel all the time.
Once again- full alignment. I know that the more I’m immersed in my passion- writing, publishing, and blogging, the more success I can manifest.
And I say no to what no longer aligns. Readers sometimes ask me if I do coaching or seminars or if they can connect with me on social media. But, if I was doing coaching, interviews, seminars, and social media, I wouldn’t be able to write as much as I do now. And I wouldn’t be in alignment.
So, I mindfully leave these opportunities to other people who are passionate about them.
This is why I always tell my readers to focus on their own goals and definition of success.
Because if you focus on something you love doing…and you use it as a tool to help others, you’ll manifest success!
So, take some time and journal about your definition of success. Who are you?
-A multi-millionaire doing big deals and living in a fancy apartment in Dubai?
-A writer who creates amazing novels, and writes from a beautiful house overlooking the mountains?
-A motivational speaker who loves doing seminars and inspiring massive audiences?
-A stay-at-home mom, who can work online and make an excellent living working part-time from home while taking care of her kids?
Write your vision. Now!
Include:
-your passions
-your strengths
-your ideal lifestyle
-your ideal income
+ everything else that comes to your mind!
And remember…be yourself, be authentic.
It’s all about manifesting your goals, not someone else’s goals!
#2 Turn Your Ideas Into Goals
This step is very simple…
After brainstorming in #1, you need to develop a goal.
Write it down using positive and empowering language:
Here’s a simple template you can use:
I’m so happy and grateful that I’m now making 10k/m from my online business, working only 4h a day from home, doing what I love for a living!
Turn your goal into an affirmation. And keep affirming to yourself, in front of the mirror, whenever you get a chance:
I’m so happy and grateful that I’m now making 10k/m from my online business, working only 4h a day from home, doing what I love for a living!
Now…it may feel weird at first. Because your mind might try to rebel against you and offer you some negative scenarios of “what if”. This happens to many people who get started on affirmations.
But remember that you can always create your own “what if” and keep it positive.
Example:
Negative what if:
“What if I write this book and publish it, and someone posts a negative review?”
I often had these thoughts as I was doing my affirmations…
But then, I learned the “what if” technique but in a positive way…
So, I say…
“What if I publish this book and it will help someone?”
Real game-changer that will help you stay focused on your vision!
This article will help you unleash the power of affirmations to manifest success.
#3 Forgive Yourself. Turn Mistakes into Valuable Lessons.
You need to forgive yourself right here and right now. Because it’s the present moment that can really change your life.
Remember: you don’t fail. You succeed, or you learn.
And life doesn’t happen to you. It happens FOR you.
So, whatever happens FOR you, embrace it, learn from it. Grow from it.
We all did some things we’re not so proud of…
We all made some mistakes…
Your past story can be an obstacle or motivational fuel…it’s up to you to choose!
#4 Focus on Daily Gratitude
Oprah Winfrey practices gratitude daily, and she recommends writing down at least 5 things you’re grateful for every day.
Gratitude is like a magic ingredient…and it works, but most people refuse to practice it.
If you want to manifest success, practice gratitude as much as possible (through journaling, affirmations, or visualizations, whatever you choose).
Be grateful for people, events, and circumstances you attracted in the past, as well as the present moment and things you desire to manifest.
Do it daily. It’s an instant vibration booster.
#5 Welcome All Your Limiting Beliefs…Because Now You Can Transform Them…
Whenever I identify a limiting belief, I’m so grateful! Because I have new homework to do, something to work on!
In the past, I’d get very defensive…” Oh, come on, I’m always right, and the reason it didn’t work out is that…”. I would blame everything and everyone around me but would never have a look at my limiting beliefs.
But one day, it hit me…
This is the main reason we use manifestation methods…we want to get rid of limiting beliefs and train our subconscious mind to BELIEVE that we REALLY are WORTHY of manifesting success…
This is the essence of manifestation. We manifest what we hold inside…we manifest who we are…
Here’s one thing to understand…
Unless you train your subconscious mind to believe you can manifest success, you will self-sabotage. Because if your subconscious mind feels that you are not deserving of your success, it will make you take actions that will hurt your progress.
This is the essence of the Law of Attraction explained on a scientific level…
Manifestation methods are a tool to reprogram our subconscious mind for success.
It’s like programming our inner GPS and mindfully allowing it to take it to our main destination.
Don’t fear your limiting beliefs. Welcome them, and turn them into new, empowering beliefs!

#6 Align with Your Why’s DAILY
If you’re into self-development, you probably already understand the importance of having your WHY.
But I like to take it to the next level. You see, the more WHY’s you have, the bigger your motivation.
So…think about your desire. For example, you want to manifest a 6-figure coaching business.
Your WHY’s could be:
-helping other people improve their lives
-becoming your own boss
-creating financial freedom
-taking care of your family
-making authentic connections with people
-traveling the world and being location independent
Do it now. To manifest success you need to come up with as many WHY’s as you possibly can!
Use them to boost your motivation!
#7 Audit Your Mindset and Energy Daily
You need to be in total alignment. Your body, mind, and soul must be aligned. Just like your thoughts, actions, and feelings must be aligned.
If you’re not manifesting your vision yet, don’t worry, and don’t beat yourself up. Instead, use your current reality as feedback from the Universe. You have the power to get back into complete alignment.
It may take multiple attempts, and with each attempt, you’ll learn so much!
So, how do you know if you lack alignment?
Be mindful of the following:
-lack of energy, feeling drained for no reason, or manifesting a disease
-not attracting the right people and opportunities (I was there for many years…attracting people who didn’t respect me and my biz…well, I had to dive deep and learn how to respect and love myself first)
-no focus, feeling like you “have to motivate yourself”
-procrastination, lack of discipline
Most people try to fix themselves, watching videos on how to stay motivated…while these videos may be helpful for some people and God bless people who make them…
If lack of motivation, focus, discipline, and energy become a negative pattern in your life, it’s most likely because of a lack of alignment.
If that’s the case, get back to #1…follow yourself…create your own vision and stick to it!
#8 Develop Your Plan of Attr-Action
This is so important! Yes, the Universe has your back and everything…
But…you need a plan of action.
For example, if I want to manifest a successful blog, I can’t just sit and think about it.
Yes, I sit and journal and do the inner work. I identify my own limitations and transform them daily.
And I visualize all the success I desire to manifest in detail.
But, I also take action. Aligned action. And I work on my blog every day.
Now, here’s the thing…when you’re in alignment, it no longer feels like “having to hassle”, or “pushing harder”.
It feels…good. And even if there’s a problem to solve or an obstacle to overcome, I choose to stay grateful. I’m grateful that I can learn and grow. And grateful I can help people.
I simply LOVE the process. I know that if I stick to it, I’ll manifest success with this blog.
At the end of the day, you need to find your own way to balance action with attraction…the masculine with feminine…
Sometimes, you may need to slow down…sometimes you may need to speed up…
But ask yourself, what is the #1 thing you can do DAILY to get closer to manifesting success?
Is there a simple, process-oriented goal (in my case, it’s writing 1k words a day or more), you can commit yourself to?
Brainstorm now…the Universe LOVES action takers! Those who take action always get rewarded.
Choose actions that align with your vision. Actively market yourself to the Universe and show that you’re committed! Be very mindful of your time. For example, you may want to cut down on watching TV, or reduce/quit social media.
If you decide to consume any content, be sure it’s positive, helpful, and in alignment with your goals!
#9 Be Mindful of ANY Feedback from the Universe
Stick to your vision, but be very flexible with your approach.
As you start taking action to manifest your goals and achieve success, you will be presented with other ideas and opportunities to help you on your journey.
For example, as I was writing and publishing my manifestation books, I got the idea to start a blog. At first, I thought: “No, I don’t have the time. “
But then, I realized it was a limiting belief, and I had the time. What was holding me back was my own mindset. I also feared “all that tech stuff”.
I identified my limiting belief. I did some inner work. Then, I did my research and took action. Now, I’m so happy I have a blog and can add more value to my readers (and reach more people!).
I also use this blog to answer readers’ questions.
So…ask yourself…is there anything else you can do to manifest success and reach your goals?
As one of my mentors, Miles Beckler always said, as you start taking action and stay committed, you attract amazing opportunities and synchronicities into your life.
So, always watch out for feedback from the Universe and use it to adjust your actions and strategy.
#10 Prioritize Self-Care and Relaxation
This one is so important!
As a leader of your life, you need to learn to…lead yourself first. You need to prioritize self-care…
Not just physical (water, good food, nutrition, exercise, nature), but also emotional and spiritual.
You need some YOU-time. To re-connect with your vision, re-charge your batteries, and do some inner work.
After all, you don’t want to burn yourself out, right?
I used to resist self-care….because I wanted to manifest success faster.
And I ended up with a burn-out and couldn’t do anything. Or, I wasn’t nice to my family, friends, and readers…
Now, my new mantra is: “More self-care, more success!”.
Mindful self-care will help you persevere and feel good on your journey to manifest success!
The following are extra tips, specifically for business owners and people looking for a new job, as well as artists, creatives, and writers!
Extra Tips for Manifesting Business Success
Set business goals that excite you…your goals are the best trigger for your subconscious mind.
As you write your goals, you’ll probably think:
“How to get more sales and clients for my business?”
First of all, visualize yourself getting the sales you desire. Feel the excitement! If you’re working with clients, imagine people saying YES to your services and products.
If you’re an author or a blogger, visualize reviews and emails from happy readers. Read through their success stories. Feel their gratitude for your content. I mean…they’d been searching for you, for your answers, and now they found them. Feel their positive emotions and use them as an encouragement to create.
Of course, adapt this strategy to your business model. For example, if you do affiliate marketing (selling other people’s products), you can imagine your sales dashboards growing bigger and bigger. Maybe you even get a thank you email from a company you sell a product for, and they offer you a bonus and a higher commission!
Stay in that energy and vibration 🙂
It took me so many years to figure it out. Even though I read about it multiple times…my own mind was holding me back with “come on, this is not possible”.
If you ever catch yourself with a negative mindset like: “I can’t” ,or “it’s not possible,” journal about the things you’re grateful for and everything you’ve accomplished so far. Journaling about your achievements will immediately raise your vibration. Guaranteed.
So, remember to surround your mindset with feelings of joy and excitement, and your products/services will inspire these feelings in your prospects, clients, and customers.
Ask yourself…who would you personally buy from? Of course, you’d prefer to buy from someone who’s high energy and has good intentions, right?
Whatever it is that you do, remember that your vibration comes first.
This article will show you exactly what to do to raise your vibration.
If you do this every day, you will see an avalanche of new sales (and income opportunities!)
Extra Tips for Manifesting Career Success or a New Job
So, this advice is specifically for people who want to manifest a new job. In the last paragraph, I talked about manifesting a business success. And many of the tips I suggested, such as being mindful of your energy and vibration, apply here.
Now the main problem I see with people trying to manifest a new job is that they think about it as just that…a job…maybe a job that pays a bit more or is more aligned with their passion, and has a friendly working environment and benefits…
But when you think about it…what you call a “job” is like a living organism that consists of different energies, people, and rules…
And a living organism must be in full alignment…
So, how does alignment apply to you?
Well, you start off with the first steps described in this article, getting clear on what you want and your definition of success.
Then, as you proceed to the step “attr-action” (in other words, taking aligned action), you want o research the companies you send your CVs to. You want to know who they are and what they stand for. And you want to make sure you’re in alignment with that.
Yes, sometimes you may manifest a new job out of nowhere, I have seen it many times, and it happened to me too. So, be open to that possibility. In the meantime, take action and have fun with it!
As you research the companies, you want to work for, visualize yourself working for them…what would it feel like?
Then, think like an ideal company you wish to work for…Who would they like to hire?
Be that person…Act from the energy of the company you’d like to work for.
In alignment with that, if there are any skills you need to master, go for it.
Once you’re in alignment, it shouldn’t feel like “something to do”, but “something you choose to experience”.
How to Manifest Success as an Artist or Creative
Whatever you do, see yourself as someone who helps people raise their vibration.
As you create your art, think about how it will elevate, uplift, and inspire others.
I always do it as I write!
Be in alignment with the people who choose to create for.
And whatever it is that you create, create from good energy.
Always have your WHO- people you create for, people who appreciate what you do.
And choose to be grateful for every person you attract to your audience, art, or brand.
Some people may not like your work of art, that’s fine. Bless them, wish them well and move on. They are not your ideal avatars anyway. They have other things to do.
Simply focus on those who get you and what you do, and you’ll manifest success!
