How to Reset Your Vibes — Law of Attraction Style
Attract More of What You Want and Less of What You Don’t.
Have you caught yourself using words like coincidence, synchronicity, fate, karma, it-was-meant-to-be, or everything-fell-into-place? If you, then you are already experiencing Law of Attraction. They expressions are used to describe evidence of Law of Attraction.
Do you, or someone you know, keep attracting negative things to your life — at home, at work and in your relationships? Yes, that is because of Law of Attraction too!
Join Michael for this training and you will learn:

How Law of Attraction works
Why you (may be) attracting negative things, over and over
What you need to do, say and think to RESET your vibe
A daily habit that keeps your vibes positive so you can attract what you want

You will also bring home strategies for maintaining good language, positive thoughts, and a 30-day assignment to help integrate the message of Law of Attraction in your business.
