F OREWORD
I n 2004, burdened by debt, tired of the roller-coaster ride of boom periods and bust periods, and unsatisfied with my daily work, I found myself looking for another answer. I knew that what I had been doing simply wasnt working, and it wasnt for lack of effort. I read the self-help books, I studied the financial courses, I strived to improve myself and my financial reality, but nothing seemed to click.
It wasnt until I discovered EFT Tapping that everything changed for me. It was at that moment that I began to realize that what I had always thought was an outer gameworking harder, getting lucky breaks, the economywas really much more of an inner game, as were my perceptions, decisions, belief systems, traumas, and more.
That awareness is a fantastic first step toward changing, but the question then remains, How do I actually change? I know Ive got some bad patterns, belief systems, and traumas, but what do I do about it? This is where Tapping comes to the rescue, in extraordinary ways.
When I began Tapping in 2004, it helped me to clear out that old junk and create a new reality for myself. The documentary film about EFTThe Tapping Solution, now also a New York Timesbestselling bookwhich I set off to make in 2007, was a project inspired by a new way of being, a new reality, that said all things are possible, that I could make my dreams come true, and that I not only could provide incredible value and contributions to the world but could also be financially rewarded for them.
After I began Tapping to change my financial reality, the last six years of my life have been simply extraordinary. And I credit the success to the time I spent taking a close hard look at my financial beliefs and using Tapping to change them. This simple, scientifically validated process has made all the difference in my life, and it can do the same for you.
So I can guarantee you that there is no more powerful tool in the world to actualize change than Tapping. But there are times when the tool isnt enough, when you need the guidance, care, and nurturing of a powerful mentor who can pinpoint exactly where you need to go, what you need to explore, in order to get the fastest results possible.
And this is where my friend Margaret Lynch and this amazing book come in. Sure, you can learn the Tapping basics and use the process on your own. But its likely to take longer, be more difficult, and generate results that are less powerful than what you will achieve with the laser-focused guidance of an expert like Margaret Lynch.
I met Margaret in 2008, at the dawn of both of our EFT careers. Her bright smile and engaging personality instantly attracted me to her, and after spending time with her, I quickly learned that not only did Margaret exude success and confidence but she also had a deep understanding of money, finances, goal-setting, and all the key elements to creating lasting success.
Ive watched Margaret during the past several years as shes continued to innovate on EFT, bringing a new and profound sense of clarity and enthusiasm, as well as impressive results, to this work. And with this book, shes taken all of that to the next level.
You hold in your hands the opportunity to be personally mentored by one of the smartest ladies I know. (Shes coached me personally one-on-one on many occasions.) Her insights and her understanding of the material are unparalleled and can help you to quickly and efficiently change your financial reality.
So sit back, relax, get comfy, start Tapping, and begin the journey to finally unleashing your creative potential, following your dreams and passions, and creating a life of success and abundance!
Nick Ortner, author of the New York Times bestseller The Tapping Solution

W hy dont I have more money? I hear that over and over from people who are frustrated about feeling stuck in an income bracket, despite their strong desire and best efforts to have a lot more. Many work harder, yet dont reap the rewards of it. Others use the popular New Age idea of the Law of Attraction to create more wealth by consciously focusing their thoughts on it (more on this in chapter 1), but wonder why this doesnt end up working for them. Most feel frustrated, disappointed, and down on themselves for their inability to generate a larger income. Then the blame and excuses begin:
