Plugged Back In

We're baaaaaaack...

I'm still a little sluggish from the trip home (four-hour layover and a three-hour time change), but our trip to Vegas was a blast. The Four Freshmen are alive and well (I ran into one of my trombone heroes and founding members of the Frosh, Bob Flannagan in the elevator) and Ruth hit the 20,000 (penny) jackpot on the "Blazing 7" slot machine, which didn't exactly pay for the trip, but it paid for our entertainment. Carrot Top was in rare form, and Dirk Arthur the Extreme Magician (pronounced 'cheesey') made a helicopter appear on stage--and took the stripes right off his tiger!

What amazes me about Vegas, is how much cash is flowing. At any one table, there are thousands (maybe more!) of dollars changing hands each hour. Multiply that by hundreds of tables in each casino, and all those casinos...it's hard to imagine how much money they can make (take?) in 24 hours...seven days a week...365...

The most amazing thing about it, and what I learn the most from it, is that there is an unlimited supply of money. There are always people playing. There is no shortage of casinos. In fact, they are building more. Vegas is expanding, and squeezing out more room in the city limits as well. There is no thought of "well, there are already so many casinos, I couldn't build one, there's too much competition..." It's more like: "All these casinos have proven that you can make money in Vegas...let's open another one and join the fun!"

The Competitive Mind always limits your ability to succeed. Wallace Wattles describes it in his classic work "The Science of Getting Rich". He explains how the Cooperative Mind is the key to getting what you want. It's alive and well in Las Vegas. And it's in action anywhere you see someone succeeding. It's a natural law, kind of like gravity (and chiropractic).

It's sort of like the way that Lowe's always builds next to a Home Depot. But Lowe's doesn't take Homer's customers. In fact, having a Lowe's next door actually doubles Homer's business as well. It doesn't seem to make sense (and that's why most people aren't rich), but it's true.

I'm putting together a course based on Dr. Wattles' work that explains the competitive and cooperative mind, as well as how to make better decisions, how to make your faith invincible, how prayer can (and can't) help you get rich--even the very best thing you can do to help the world. When it's done, you can check it out at http://www.drvinceonline.com/scienceofgettingrich

Until then, remember that anything is possible...the only limits are those you acknowledge.

Live Enthused,

Dr. Vince

PS. I'm also working with a friend of mine on 'The Inside Scoop to Winning at Craps and Black Jack'. And it works. Even though I'm just learning these strategies, I doubled my money (but since I was still learning, I decided to keep playing anyway...and I still broke even and played for hours.) Knowing when to quit is just as important as knowing how to play...and that will definitely be part of the course, too. Stay tuned.
