Gifting and Seed Money

Gifting and Seed Money in Motion=

Believe it or not, not everyone wants to be a millionaire!

Oh, the words coming out of their mouth may be saying
that's what they think they want but:

• First of all, most people simply don't believe that it's
possible.

• Second, a million dollars is a figure most people can't
comprehend.

• Third, if they're honest about it, too few want the
responsibility of it.

If i did a survey most will say they want enough money to
have a comfortable lifestyle, pay their bills, enough to
lessen the stress of our insane economic times etc. Our
happiness doesn't come from the dollars we have, it comes
from the satisfaction we feel, being able to do the things
that it [money] does. Whether that's paying a bill, sending
the kids to college, helping aging parents or go on
vacation. It's simply a medium we use for exchange.

You see the average American will have manually earned a
million dollars in their life time. Here comes the rub,
receiving, keeping, and the frequency of regenerating a
million dollars, that is the key.

I've heard the saying ‘the movement of money creates
wealth' at first I laughed and commented, ‘Yeah, it moves
alright, from my hand to the bill collectors hand."

There is an obscure book written by John Hosher in 1960,
titled, "Seed Money - The Law of the Tenfold Return and How
it Works" and later rewritten by Jon Speller. In those
writings I discovered an age old formula based of my
subject of gifting and seed planting.

Like ‘the Secret' and ‘The Law of attraction' there was
also a formula that some attempted keep a secret from the
masses, and that was the principles and formula behind ‘the
Law of the Tenfold Return' or ‘Seed Money' or in today's
terms it's called ‘Gifting'

Even though there was an attempt to keep it secret, there
is nothing secret about it. If you are of the Christian
faith you can go to the index of your Bible and look up the
words giving, gifts, receiving and you can find it in both
the old and new testaments. John H also mentions that Jesus
knew about seed money as told in the story of the loaves
and fishes.

There has been a lot of bad press on gifting programs,
calling them illegal or scams. Those who would diminish
this activity simply don't ‘get it'. Perhaps, they thought
it was magic, but it's not. It is a proven formula with
principles that need to be followed for one to see results
from it.

Giving/Gifting has been around in all societies for as long
as history has been told. It has been used by individuals
as well as organizations very effectively. The biggest
difference in then and now has to do with attitude. In our
modern society we have been lead to believe we can have
something for nothing and do nothing to get something.
There are NO FREE lunches!

The message that John Hosher was attempting to get across
with the ‘Seed Money' formula was that it is an ‘expected
return', making it different than just giving to be
righteous, or tithing. When have the opportunity to read
the book you'll note many famous and wealthy people who
applied the formula and are in our history books today.

The question now, is why aren't more people practicing it?

Let's get one thing clear ‘seed money' isn't the ‘Law of
Attraction'; even though it has similar characteristics,
‘seed money' is a defined application. There is no mooning
over, no wishin', no hopin', it has a formula to it.

Seed Money is an expected return.

John uses farmers as an example. They know what they want
to harvest so they plant the like ‘seeds'. They don't plant
corn seeds and expect green beans at harvest.

The parallel or common denominator with the ‘law of
attraction' and ‘seed money' is attitude and belief.

The greatest thing about giving, gifting and planting seed
money is; no one can stop you from doing it, No One!

Anyone can practice this! No matter their age, gender,
education, economic level. The only thing stopping you is
you and not knowing the formula on how it works.

You can practice this activity alone or you can have a
buddy system. I personally like the buddy system. There is
an element of fun and delight that you can share when you
see that it works.

One last thing, there's a saying that goes, ‘Be careful
what you ask for, you may get it!"

I'd like to add this, "Be careful HOW you ask for it, you
may get that too" Attitude is everything.
