Yesterday was a record day for this website.
I made $12.33 from Google Ads. Twelve big ones. And change to spare. This may not seem like much, but it bought Karin and me breakfast at our local diner with a 40% tip (good, cheap breakfasts are a perk of country living).
I’ve never been so excited to make $12 in my life. When I checked my Google account and saw what flowed in yesterday, you’d have thought that I’d attracted 100 times that amount.
So why am I so excited?
Because I am witnessing my intention unfold. To be clear, my intention in this regard is as follows:
I spend my time observing, writing, and creating to my heart’s content. I attract at least two thousand dollars a month with total ease. I am filled with the joy being of fully self-expressed.
In the first month of this blog, I’ve attracted a total of $166.69 from Google Ads and donations. Again, dollars-wise this is no big deal. I make more for one hour of work than the site’s entire earnings for the month.
But to me, there are few things as thrilling as standing in the wonder of watching an intention being born. It’s like watching the bud of a tulip come into bloom, petal by petal, right before your eyes.
Attracting “at least two thousand dollars a month” would cover my mortgage and taxes – my biggest expense. How cool would that be? In my first month of operation, I’m 1/12th of the way there and I am fully resonant with the intention; I just know it’s on the way.
I have no clue how or when all of this money is going to show up, nor I am not concerned with either detail. However, I am supremely curious and excited to be in the unfolding of it all.
In the face of my clear, fun intention, I’ve met with some resistance. Some of my regular readers have contacted me to let me know that they do not care for my new direction. Here are some samples of that sort of the feedback:
* Blogs suck, so much to read and click on etc. Why have people such a need to put all those words out there anyways?
* I am not connecting with the new format … and it is leaving me confused and feeling as if this is the end of my Drewsletter experience.
* I wish you wouldn’t change anything!
While I am grateful that people care enough to write me, as I read those messages all I could hear was John Lennon’s voice echoing in my head:[mc src=”http://www.drewrozell.com/audio/lennon2.mp3″/]
One thing I’ve learned is that when you’re move deeper into who you really are, you cannot expect that everyone around you will choose to continue walking beside you. Just like old friends that drift apart, as you evolve, sometimes there just is not much common ground any more. And that’s okay. It really is.
Other times when you take those first steps into being fully self-expressed (i.e., your true greatness), you remind the people around you that they are standing still in their lives. Do not be surprised if they react with frustration and anger and direct this toward you. But remember that’s about them, not you. And step forward.
When you work through the resistance and continue forward in the direction of your deepest knowing, the rewards are always grander than anything you can imagine.
Did I say two thousand a month?
Tip. Of. The. Iceberg.
I love the blog and think you are doing a great job…I know you didn’t necessarily need any affirmation, but I felt the need to balance the negative comments above!
A friend of mine is now writing a very popular blog and I can appreciate how much research, time and effort is put into every post. Thanks for that.
Dear Drew,
To echo Diana’s sentiments, I love the blog! It actually fits more into the way I use the internet and gives me the control to check out what you’ve written. I can check it from anywhere not just waiting for your once a month email. And since you are writing more often, I can read your relevent always-on-target thoughts, ideas, and observations more often, too! It’s working for me.
Regarding John – I suppose you saw the movie the U.S. vs. John Lennon? Wasn’t it fantastic? The end credits were amazing, song after song – lyrics by John Lennon. He created so much music, and those lyrics just flowed through him from the universal energy and back into the world.
Anyway – from one fan to another, the best part of the whole movie was the love between John and Yoko.
Definately something to strive for in love:) Real Love
Drew,
I am very excited for you! It is great that you can see your intention come true. You are expressing a gratitude attitude along with it, which will attract even more into your life. You are correct, $2000.00 is just the tip of the iceberg!
I love the blog format 🙂 I love how you’re so in alignment with the manifestation of $2,000 a month (or something better! Yay!). I love too how you say “it’s on its way.” Rock on!
When I need a Drew fix, I simply click on my easily-accessbile Drew icon. No more waiting for Drew to show up in my inbox. Although I was put off by the site of ads on the site, especially in the middle of the page where one’s eye goes to first, I now know how to navigate to get what I want. Thanks Drew. Love the photo at the top. It reminds me of the beauty that surround us. Peace.
Hi Drew,
I am in the camp that really prefers the new format over the old one. I like to know what Drew is thinking TODAY, not just what he was thinking a month ago. So, I totally dig the frequent posts, and I’m going to enjoy posting my thoughts to your thoughts, just to see what I think… This is much more interactive and interactive is a good thing for everyone involved!
you are on top of your game mr. rozell.
i’m so happy for all the good stuff that is and will continue to come tumbling down, thru and onward to and from you.
thanks for keeping IT going and growning 🙂
love always…
Hi Drew,
I took part in one of your first teleclasses a few years ago. For some reason I must have fell through the cracks because I stopped receiving your newsletter for a long time and then all of a sudden out of the blue I am receiving it again !
The changes you have made are fine with me . I just enjoy reading your thoughts and perspective on life. And I enjoy immensely how you include and use your own personal life as an example.
Thankyou !

As usual inspirational stuff, plus heart warming honesty. Can one go exist without the other.
“Attracting $2000 a month” is now an affirmation post-it on my desk… It really is that easy.
We’re downshifting, inspired by Drew and my other fav, Sally Lever of Fruitful http://www.sallylever.co.uk/fruitful.html
My dh quit work this week – far too much work to do at home doing what is right and best for us and this gorgeous planet! We’re fully into the business of attracting life our way!
I’m looking for a reliable blog that’s dummy proof. Blogger has locked me out somehow. I’ve pages of ‘how to fix it’ info to read and try, but I’m a writer not a techie and don’t really want to go there… Any suggestions? And yep, I’m ready to buy – actually pay for – something that’s gonna keep me happy. 🙂
I like both formats – newsletter in my inbox and blog. When I’m reading Drew I feel like I’m in the best company. Ta. 🙂
