Do you want to know the secret on how to manifest $1,000,000 dollars? I bet you do. We all do. And wouldn’t you know it – you listen to most of the gurus out there and they will tell you how to manifest $1,000,000 overnight while you sleep.
Well – my method is different. My method won’t be like any others you heard. Are you ready for my technique on how to manifest $1,000,000? Ok – here it is:
How To Manifest $1,000,000
You don’t.
BOOM! There it is.
And that is the truth that most people won’t tell you. You will never manifest $1,000,000 in your life because you don’t believe it.
“but Zach – yes I do. I really believe that I want to be a millionaire”.
Nope – you want to believe that – but the truth is you can’t. Let’s face it: If you are making $30,000 a year, you cannot grasp how much money $1,000,000 is. Sure – you say it’s $83,333 dollars a month and there is so much you can buy with that. But is that pre-tax? Cause post-tax it’s closer to $44,000 a month (which is still great don’t get me wrong!). I mean I am no tax expert – but the tax rate for wealth that high has to be in the 40% range. Ok – so you take your 44k a month. Can you really picture that? what would you buy with it? A new car? which one – and how much is that payment? OOOO Lambo – good choice. Did you factor in the maintenance on that one? An oil change on a Lambo is about $2k.
That is the main problem I have with the way most gurus teach – and subsequently, most people try to manifest. They think of the biggest thing they can and pray for that. Look – I get it – I use to do that too. But the problem is – manifesting comes from the feeling. The feeling is the secret as Nevil Godard says. So if you truly want to manifest $1,000,000 you truly have to know what it feels like to be in that kind of wealth – including the problems that come with it – because you can bring it into your life. If you can’t feel it – you can’t believe – if you can’t believe it – you can’t feel it.
Look – I am not saying don’t try to go for that million – I am more saying conceptualize it a bit more. One great exercise to do this is to use the “7 Layers Deep” exercise.
7 Layers Deep
The 7 layers deep exercise apparently is from Tony Robbins, but I have heard so many self-help teachers use it I don’t really know who it is from originally – but it really helps to get what you truly want – in a way you can truly feel – to get in a mindset you can truly believe. Here is how it goes:
You think of the thing that you want – then you ask yourself why you want it. Whatever your answer is to that – then you ask yourself why you want that. You do this 7 times (or more if you need to) until you can get something that you can use on a daily basis in your meditations, prayer, and otherwise manifesting activities. It helps you get that feeling that you want – that you need – in order to be successful.
Let’s do one now using our $1,000,000 example above.
- Why do you want $1,000,000?
- So I can buy a nice car
- Why do you want a nice car?
- So I can show people the fruits of my labor.
- Great! So why do you want to show people the fruits of your labor
- Because I have worked really hard and I want people to know how hard I have worked.
- Ok – why do you want people to know how hard you have worked?
- Because I am the one slaying over a keyboard in late nights trying to make ends meet and I feel like I have nothing to show for it.
- Why have you been slaying over a keyboard in late nights trying to make ends meet?
- Because I want to be successful someday and that is the only way I can.
- Why do you want to be successful?
- Because then I can stop worrying about the stress of not having any money and what people think of me.
- Why do you want to stop worrying about the stress of not having any money and what people think about you?
- Because then I can be happy.
BE HAPPY IS THE FEELING.
Most people don’t want the million dollars? They want the FEELING of the million – and they think that is going to make them happy. They want the FEELING of success and prestige because that is what will make them content.
I always ask people after this exercise: Why wait for the million? Why can’t you go be happy tomorrow? Why can’t you find something small to feel happy about and be happy now? Because once you start being happy for no reason – there will be no amount of money that you need. You will feel like a success. You will feel the fruits of your labor paying off. You will feel like you have a million bucks. And when you feel like you have a million bucks – manifesting $1,000,000 is finally within your grasp.
Learn the Basics
This is the basics. 101 class for manifesting. Most people overreach – they think too big, which again isn’t a bad thing. I love thinking big. But if you can’t conceptualize the big thinking – it is hard to get into the feeling of getting something. That is when most people quit. They ask for the money, can’t feel like what the money will do – and say ‘manifesting is bullsh*t and quit. You have to put in the work – you have to get your mind around the FEELING that you want. Once you have that, you can BE you who need to be to DO those things you need to do to HAVE the things you need to have. BE. DO. HAVE. Actually – it should be FEEL, BE, DO, HAVE.
FEEL happy. BE happy. DO happy work. HAVE happiness in your life.
That is the case with anything. Rethink what you are trying to manifest in your life. Do the 7 levels deep exercise and find the FEELING of what you need to do. Start there. Cultivate the feeling first – then watch the world come to you.

Another tip: write it out. Don’t try to think it out in your head – you will forget or it will get lost in another thought. Focus for 10 minutes and do the exercising hand written so you can refer to it back again and again.
Manifesting is not hard work – but it does take the right work.
