Oh brother. I taught for 20 minutes before we realized everyone was still in the waiting room and couldn't hear or see me. So we regrouped, fixed the problem, and started over. 🤦‍♀️

SOOOO... for those who couldn't get on the meeting last night, the Webinar for Aspiring Authors REPLAY is now available! Request access here:

Knotted Shoelaces - My oldest was probably only four years old when he showed me proudly that he could tie his shoes.

There they were, with the laces knotted together over and over until there was no more string left with which to work. How proud he was, and how I smiled. He had not tied them properly, but he had done his best and I was proud of him anyway.

With the laces tied together – tightly – in nearly twenty good knots on each shoe, I naturally had a bit of an unplanned project ahead of me. Undoing what he had done would take some time.

Even though it wasn’t on my agenda to untie all those knots, I remember being sweetly amused by his valiant effort to do something he had never done before. Tying shoes was important, something he knew I’d have to do if he didn’t. He was only trying to help, and I knew it. Of course there was no punishment for doing it “wrong;” only praise, and a little bit of guidance to help him do it a little better next time.

It really is a Spiritual Journey - For anyone who is worried that the principles I share might take them away from their relationship with God, I just want to share one of the most authentic, heartfelt messages of gratitude I have ever received, which recently came to my mailbox:

"Dear Leslie,

"You have no idea how you’ve been used and are still being used by God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit for my restoration….deep from within the recesses of my mind..."

Rare Faith and Tithing:

"The Law of Cause and Effect states that every cause has an effect and that every effect has a cause. Nothing happens by chance. The example Leslie Householder gives in her book, Hidden Treasures, states that if you plant a carrot in the ground, you can be assured a carrot is what you’re grow. If I move in a good direction, good things will move towards me. That is why I draw near unto the Lord, so that he will draw near unto me. Likewise, what we reap (in outward actions), we will reap (in reactions towards us).

"There is great encouragement for obeying this law through positive actions. I have always been a person who preferred to follow the rules because I didn’t want to feel the repercussions not only from possibly getting caught, but dealing with my guilty conscience. That would be a slow painful death of my spirit. I prefer to act so I can reap positive rewards. Tithing is a great example of obeying a commandment and receiving the positive effects of that action.

"When Brian and I were baptized, there were many traditions we had to change in order to abide with all the gospel principles and doctrines. One of them was paying our tithing. My husband didn’t feel it was necessary and I was afraid to test it. I wanted to, but it took years before I finally started paying an honest tithe. However, it was only on my salary, and Brian did not approve of me paying on his salary. As a result, I was not always consistent myself.

"I waited a few more years before I tried again to get Brian to agree to pay a full tithe. He didn’t want to participate but he finally agreed (grudgingly). It just so happened that around that time, I read that when someone does something without true desire or good intentions, then it will be worse for him. I did not want that for Brian and I let him know. I told him that we would not pay tithing if he didn’t agree with it. I had decided I would stop asking.

"Brian shocked me when he said, 'No, I think we should go ahead and do it.' I asked him if he was sure, and he said he was. It was a huge relief for me and I was so excited to finally get the opportunity to put to test Malachi 10:3 'Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.'

"As you’ve probably already guessed, the blessings poured in and haven’t stopped. I knew we would be blessed because I have learned that even though I cannot rely on anybody to come through for me here on earth, I have the best on my side…My Savior, Jesus Christ. I can always count on him to be there for me, make things happen for me and bless me so that my cup continuously 'runneth' over."

Is Absent-Mindedness Affecting Your Success? - A few years ago, my husband and I took our seven children to a neighboring state for a read-a-thon. On the way home, we stopped half-way and stayed with my sister for a night to break up the trip. The next morning, in our rush to be on the road again, we gathered our blankets and pillows, said our goodbyes, and loaded the van. My husband was at the wheel and I glanced back to ask the kids, “We got everybody?”

Nobody indicated otherwise, so I said, “Great!”

We had just begun to roll down the road when I looked back again and noticed my 15-year old missing.

How the Stickman Concept Helps you Prosper - You’ve probably heard by now that one of the most powerful ideas I’ve ever encountered is The Stickman Concept.

Ever since I launched ‘The Jackrabbit Factor: Why You Can’ back in August of 2005, I’ve had a lot of questions come my way about the principles contained in that story.

In response, I started holding an introductory seminar to answer some of those questions. I shared more about MY story and how the book came to be… but most importantly I shared some things about the stickman concept and how this one simple idea has been the most succinct, empowering idea ever to hit the world of success psychology EVER, in my humble opinion.

How Rude I Was (Or Was I?) - Prosperity is built on faith. It requires thinking truth in spite of appearances and making decisions based on the images of one’s dreams, over and above the state of perceived reality. The truth is that there is only abundance in this world. However, perceptions often get in the way of individuals being able to see that truth.

How many goals at a time? - One of my readers recently asked: “Can you have more than one goal at one time? Or is it too overwhelming for you and your mind?”

That’s a really good question.

The length of what follows reminds me of Blaise Pascal, who is known to have said (in French), “I have made this [long] …because I have not had time to make it shorter.” I understand, Blaise. I understand. Anyway, here we go:

You can have as many goals as you want, but there should be an ultimate overall goal that steers the ship and helps you determine all the other goals you should set along the way.

Heaven's Help with your Money Matters - Does life ever seem unfair?

Maybe you’ve dealt with more than your fair share of financial struggles. Perhaps you’ve had the feeling that your big break is just around the corner, but that corner never comes. Learn the seven laws that govern the flow of blessings you receive. The laws are like a kite string… and we are the kite. Without the string, we are tossed in the wind, and struggle to soar. But with an understanding of the laws, we can rise to remarkable heights.

Good in the midst of tragedy - I want to share a letter I received recently, because of how it illustrates so powerfully the fact that the principles are not only true for money, but for more important, eternal things:

"Leslie,

"I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you in person yet, but I’ve been a fan of you since being introduced to the Jackrabbit Factor almost a year ago. I recently felt prompted (and even guided in how to approach it with my husband) to purchase the Mindset Mastery program… I knew it would be great, and the principles taught were powerful. I knew I would see changes in my life and miracles.

"What I didn’t know is what God had in store for me..."
