You know that a mind is a terrible thing to waste and when it comes to
transforming your brain into a wealth-generating, abundance-grabbing
machine, you need a few exercises lined up in your financial arsenal. As
you read throughout the course of the Millionaires Brain, your mind is
made up of levels, sublevels, cortexes, neurons, and all sorts of fired-up
connections that can either help you achieve success, or hold you back
from raking in the kind of money you deserve.
You want to be rich, positive, and abundant, right? Of course thats
what everyone wants in life! But rather than attribute someones
financial prowess to their luck and good fortune, its time to reconsider
that these people know something you dont. While money doesnt
grow on trees, it certainly is all around us in abundance and with the
right brain training and tenacity, you can ensure that youre on the
receiving end of financial prosperity.
Think of this Brain Optimizer workbook as your training manual for
success. While the Millionaires Brain helped you learn the science
behind why some people are rich while others stay mired in poverty
think of this as a workout book filled with the training and exercises that
you can do to attract more wealth into your life. No matter what your
experience with brain training, the Law of Attraction, and other
positivity exercises, this workbook will lay out the steps you need to take
in clear, simple, and highly productive steps.
Make a commitment to doing these exercises each and every day. The
more you do these exercises, the more likely it is that youll start
attracting positivity and abundance into your life. After all, these
exercises can have a powerful impact on your life but only if youre
willing to put in the work that will get you what you want.

Life is an adventure, if only youre willing to take the risks. Each exercise
in this workbook helps ensure that your brain is properly prepared for
your long and exciting journey. From breaking down negative beliefs to
ensuring that nothing but positivity comes your way in life, youll notice
real and profound changes with each passing day you engage in these
techniques.
Tell yourself now that youre going to commit to these exercises and
dont settle for anything less than your best. This is your moment to
take advantage of the miraculous powers of your brain. This is your time
to make your dreams of wealth and prosperity really come true but
only if you take these exercises seriously.
Regard them as your new habit, like brushing your teeth in the morning
or checking your side mirrors before you merge into a new lane. Soon,
these exercises will become second nature to you and youll have all
the benefit of more money, more abundance, and more positivity
flowing through your life.
Think this is such a tall order for such a short workbook? Just try out
these exercises in your own life to see. We guarantee that with each
passing day, youll notice unique and exciting changes happening in your
life. Suddenly, youll start to feel your positivity and power flowing
through you and the world will open up its potential to you as a result.
You have nothing to lose by at least trying and you have everything to
gain. Make the commitment to do these exercises each and every day.
Youll be amazed at the financial abundance thats just waiting to make
its way into your life.

As you read through Millionaires Brain, its likely that you discovered a
few new surprising and powerful things about your brain. For example,
your brain isnt just a lump of muscle and memory in your head, waiting
to learn something new. Your mind is continually making connections,
forming new thoughts and processes, and creating new neurons that can
either reinforce your old behaviours, or develop new ones.
The basis for Millionaires Brain is that you can train these new neurons
to develop positive habits and beliefs regarding you and money. The
more you put these thoughts and habits into practice, the more likely it
is that you can use the Law of Attraction to create an abundant and
wealthy lifestyle.
Think of these brain optimization practices as icing on the mind-money
cake. Brain optimizers are exactly that theyre exercises that are
designed to help you achieve your minds full potential. Your mind is
made up of so many individual parts that its important to connect them
together with powerful practices. Thats exactly what these brain
optimizers are the techniques and exercises that will help you form
new wealth-generating connections in your brain.
When you go to the gym, you dont just work out for a couple of minutes
and then expect yourself to walk out looking like a supermodel or action
hero (if that was the case, wed never read another diet book or follow
another exercise program again!). Instead, we need to put in the time
and dedication that allows us to achieve our weight-loss goals. We have
to exercise, and we have to complement our healthy new lifestyle with a
good diet.

Well, these brain optimizers operate in the same way. You have to make
a commitment to do them everyday, and you have to complement these
exercises with positive thinking, productive habits, and a healthy dose of
optimism. If your mind, body, and soul isnt aligned for achieving this
goal, you may quickly realize that you wont be able to attract
abundance into your life.

These brain optimizers are successful for a simple reason: theyre each
designed to take advantage of a unique part of your brain, neural
connection, or brain wave. Each brain optimizer trains a specific part of
your brain, resulting in the kind of abundant results that will, quite
frankly, astound you. These brain optimizers are designed to change
how your brain waves operate, thus ensuring that your new and positive
thoughts stick with you for the rest of your life. These brain optimizers
are certainly no joke and we guarantee youll realize that just after a
few days of practice.

If youve ever attended a yoga class, you might realize that yogis are
unique people who have trained their minds and hearts to seek out
inner peace and calm. As a result, their lives are much less stressful,
despite the fact that they may be exposed to the same stimuli as us.
Thats because they frequently practice these mind-clearing techniques,
thus allowing their brains to calm down and release any stress that they
may have felt throughout the day.
6

While master yogis take years and gurus to make this happen, you dont
need to make a spiritual trip to Nepal to discover the incredible benefits
that come hand-in-hand with constant practice. In fact, we want you to
let go of the idea that practice is a dirty word.
Sure, practicing anything means putting in a lot of time and grunt work
before we see any results. But these brain optimizers are different.
They dont require you to have a specific skill, and they certainly arent
as expensive as buying a one-way plane ticket to visit your guru in India.
Theyre not laborious and technical; in fact, these brain optimizers are
often fun.
Whats more, if you find it difficult to engage in these brain optimizers,
all you have to do is come back to this workbook and try again. Theres
no beating yourself up if you dont get a certain concept, or get
frustrated, or lose your patience.
The only thing you have to do is commit to these practices each and
every day. Its like engaging in a routine, rather than practicing a new
skill. If you do it every day even the days when youd rather crawl into
bed or hang out catching up on your favourite TV show just give
yourself five to ten minutes to work on these brain optimizers.
As you practice, these brain optimizers will become routine to you but
the results certainly wont be. In fact, we guarantee that as you practice,
youll become so motivated by the abundance and positivity in your life
that you wont want to stop.
Thats the amazing thing about these brain optimizers. With practice
and a little bit of patience youll be astounded by how much of an
impact these results can have within your life. And not just your life;
those of your family and friends, too. Living a positive and productive
life means challenging and inspiring those around you to do the same. It
means that as you become successful, those you love and care for the
most will become successful as well.

As you can see, theres nothing that could go wrong by trying out these
brain optimizers within your own life. Just give them a few weeks, and
youll see the kind of results that truly help you understand and realize
the power of your own potential.
Now lets start exploring some of the brain optimizers youll be using
throughout this workbook and for your foreseeable future.

One of the biggest reasons why we hold ourselves back from achieving
our dreams is because we simply feel too busy or too stressed to
make it happen. We know that in order to accumulate more wealth, we
have to make a commitment to increasing our financial education and
filling ourselves with positive self-belief.
But perhaps our negative beliefs are standing
between us and our dreams. We start telling
ourselves that were too busy, or too stressed, or
even not good enough to pursue a more wealthy
lifestyle. We let days of potential slip through
our fingers, until one day we wake up with the
full realization that we let so much wasted
opportunity go by.
Thats why its critical to break down any negative beliefs that might still
be clinging to your brain. Negative beliefs have been reinforced by years
perhaps even decades of reinforcement and societal influences.
Perhaps we wanted to be rich, but our parents told us to keep our feet
on the ground and not dream so big.

Perhaps we had dreams of becoming wealthy, but because we didnt

know enough millionaires, our access to resources and knowledge
became limited. Perhaps you even tried to become wealthy yourself,
only to experience backlash or a financial crisis that crushed your dreams
before they even started.
There are dozens of reasons why it can be difficult to escape these
negative thoughts and habits. Thats why its important to provide your
brain with plenty of alpha enhancement and theta bursts, as these brain
waves can help you become more self-aware, relaxed, and peaceful in
other words, primed for pumping positive beliefs into your brain.
Being more self-aware is a unique quality that can help you attract more
positivity and abundance into your life. Being self-aware helps you
pause and realize when youre being reactive to negative thoughts in
your head.
You see, without mindfulness and self-awareness, it can be all too easy
to let negative thoughts and habits take over. Its like being on autopilot
and instead of moving yourself forward to success, youre just stuck in
the same habits and thought cycles, forever denying yourself the joy and
abundance of wealth.
However,
neuroscientists
believe that when you engage
in meditative acts, you allow
critical brain waves including
your alpha and theta waves
to take over, thus relaxing
your brain, creating emotional
stability, and creating an
aware state of mind. Without
activating these brain waves, it can be impossible to become aware of
the negative self-beliefs that are holding us back from success.

To help activate these alpha and theta waves, consider using the
following meditative techniques:
Find a calm and quiet place where you can relax without worrying about
noises or distractions. In order to activate your alpha waves which is a
state of deep relaxation its important not to distract yourself with your
phone, television, or any other common noises that could prevent you from
achieving this state of mind. Turn off the television, leave your phone in
the other room, and find a quiet spot in your house or apartment where
you can be alone.
If youre living with roommates or family members, consider letting them
know that youre about to take a few minutes for yourself, and you
shouldnt be disturbed. That way, you wont have family members walking
in on your meditation or roommates disturbing your efforts to activate your
alpha waves.
Get in a comfortable position where you can sit for a few minutes without
focusing on your physical self. For example, if youre sitting cross-legged
but this position doesnt come naturally to you, you may want to consider
lying down or sitting up on your bed. If youre too busy focusing on your
aching back or readjusting your legs during your meditative process, youre
not going to be able to activate the alpha waves that are essential for
breaking down negative thoughts.
Take a few deep breaths. Taking the time to focus on your breathing can
help trigger your alpha waves, which is essential for getting your brain into
a deep state of deep relaxation. Breathe in for a count of five through your
nose, and breathe out for a count of six through your mouth. Really focus
on your breathing here. Let the breath fill up your tummy, and exhale until
your belly is a hollow pit. Dont let your mind focus on anything else other
than your breathing, as this can distract your mind from activating its alpha
waves.

10

 Once youre in this state of deep relaxation, its time to get your theta
bursts working for you. Theta bursts are slower brain waves than
alpha rhythms, which will signify a deeply relaxed state of mind.
Theta bursts are normally associated with being asleep, but here, it
simply means that youre in such a relaxed state that you feel calm.
If you find yourself getting distracted as you focus on your breathing,
just settle back into your spot and try it all over again. Dont pressure
yourself to feel relaxed or beat yourself up if it doesnt happen fast
enough. Meditation can take years to master, so youre not going to
get it in one fell swoop. The point is to get comfortable with relaxing
so you can start focusing on the negative self-beliefs that are
preventing you from achieving your financial success.

Once youve reached this heightened

sense of self and dont rush it; it can
take either a few minutes to relax
yourself, or half an hour its time to
start analyzing the negative beliefs that
are holding you back from achieving a
life of abundance and wealth. With
your alpha and theta brain waves in full
motion, youll be able to analyze your
negative thoughts without feeling
down about yourself.
While you do this, your brain will be
engaged in desynchronization, which
severs ties between well-connected
areas of your brain. In other words, your alpha and theta waves are
breaking down the connection between your neural pathways and your
negative thoughts, meaning that theyll become less stronger and
reinforced in your mind.

11

This is essential for replacing negative thoughts with positive beliefs, as

it helps break down the strength of toxic neural connections that are
preventing you from achieving success.
Still not convinced about the benefits of meditation? Just the simple act
of taking a moment to process your inner thoughts can help you achieve
the following benefits:

Reduce your levels of stress and depression in your mind and

body;
Enhance self-awareness, including becoming aware of toxic habits
that might be holding you back from success;
Emotional control, which is essential for resulting impulses to
engage in familiar negative thinking and toxic habits;
Increase higher brain functions;
Clarify inner reflection;
Visibly grow more brain matter and enhance positive connections
within the brain;
Boost immune system;
Reduce addictive behaviour to toxic habits and negative ways of
thinking about money; and
Make room for enhanced development of communication and
social skills.

During this activity, think back to the societal influences and beliefs that
are holding you back with your money practices. Dont ruminate over
these thoughts until they make you feel down. The point is to recognize
that they exist, and realize that theyre holding you back. In the next
activity, youll learn to replace these negative thoughts with more
positive and productive ways of thinking.

12

Cognitive behavioural therapy is critical for gaining control over your

thoughts and emotions, which is important for creating positive beliefs.
With cognitive behavioural therapy, youre not at the mercy of negative
thoughts or impulsive emotions that could make you feel depressed or
anxious about money. Instead, cognitive behavioural therapy ensures
that your thoughts are primed to create feelings of positivity and
abundance throughout your body.
After all, neuroscientists have long since discovered that our thoughts
control our emotions, and not the other way around. It may feel that
when we become sad or happy, our thoughts follow suit; however, by
controlling our thoughts, we can control our emotions, thus ensuring
that were always in a positive mindset to attract more wealth and
abundance.
For example, have you ever noticed that some people seem to thrive
under pressure, while others cave in and shut down at the smallest sign
of stress? Thats the heart behind cognitive behavioural therapy. Some
people allow their thoughts to take over, while others are in complete
control at all times. Take, for example, two students who need to study
for their
Cognitive behavioural therapy can have a huge impact on our brains
functions, as brainwaves and neural connections form the foundation of
our thoughts and habits. In the Millionaires Brain book, you already
learned that neural connections form the basis for powerful thoughts
and habits; cognitive behavioural therapy can help you reform these
neural pathways so that your positive thoughts are more powerful than
any negative ones.

13

In other words, cognitive behavioural therapy can help you rewire your
brain, thus ensuring that your mind is primed for positivity and power.
Neuroscientists have estimated that this process can take approximately
12 weeks to occur, with six weeks being necessary for breaking down
the negative thoughts and habits that currently reside in your mind.
Cognitive behavioural therapy can also have the following advantages:

Reduce anxiety and depression associated with negative

thoughts and habits;
Take effect quickly, as cognitive behavioural therapy has been
shown to produce results in as little as 12 weeks;
Can be used easily by people with little to no experience with
cognitive behavioural therapy;
Improve your concentration and focus on achieving goals that are
important to you;
Improve your overall awareness of self;
Improve your mental attitude by allowing more positive thoughts
and habits to form in your brain; and
Improve your overall sense of self-esteem and positive belief in
yourself.

To engage in cognitive behavioural therapy, considering utilizing the

following tips and techniques:

14

 Its time to recognize the negative thoughts and actions that are holding
you back from achieving success. During the meditation exercise that
youve been engaging in, recognize the negative thoughts that could be
holding you back. They may appear similar to the thoughts outlined
below:
Im not good at saving money.
Im never going to be rich.
Im defective, so Im never going to be wealthy.
People are going to laugh at me because Ill fail.
Im a failure at saving money.
Its my lot in life to be here.
Once you recognize the negative thoughts and beliefs that are holding
you back from attracting wealth and abundance into your life, youll
need to decide on what core belief you want to replace these thoughts
with. For example, if you commonly tell yourself that youre not good at
saving money, youll want to replace this comment with a more positive
thought, such as, I AM good at saving money.
Dont tell yourself that youre sometimes good at saving money or
most of the time youre good with money. Your positive belief needs
to be powerful and all-encompassing, which means there are no rules for
exceptions.
Identify how much you believe the negative core belief, and the new
positive belief. For example, you could rate it on a scale of one to ten,
with ten being you firmly believe it, and one being you dont believe it at
all. Be as honest with yourself as possible, as this can help ensure that
your cognitive behavioural therapy will be successful.

15

 Identify the negative core belief that youre experiencing. Are you
experiencing
a negative belief that disappears when you feel more
\\\
positive about yourself? Or is it a stable thought that exists, no matter
what your mood or thoughts might be?
Strengthen the positive beliefs that you want to embrace in your own
mind. Cognitive behavioural therapy doesnt work by trying to ignore
the negative thoughts that already exist inside of your mind.
Instead, it works by focusing on the positive thoughts that youd like to
replace in your brain. If you spend more time giving strength and
power to your positive beliefs, your negative ones will eventually shrink
away, resulting in a more positive and powerful mindset that will
attract abundance into your life.

When it comes to replacing your negative beliefs with positive and

powerful ones, its important to repeat positive mantras to yourself as
youre meditating. When your brain waves are relaxed, its easier to
break down negative neural connections and replace them with positive
and stronger ones. Consider replacing your negative thoughts by saying
the following affirmations out loud:

I am good with money.

I am wealthy.
I live a positive and powerful life.
My life is filled with abundance and wealth.
I am filled with potential and power.
I have an abundance of opportunities available to me.
I am capable of anything.

16

You dont necessarily have to believe these positive mantras the first
time you say them. The point is that the more you say these beliefs, the
more your brain will respond to your mantras and that will create the
kind of neural pathways that will lead to more productive and abundant
habits. Be as specific as possible with your mantras. Dont just give
yourself vague mantras about money; tell yourself how your wealthy
and abundant lifestyle will make a difference for you and your family
members.
Once youve start creating positive beliefs within your mind, you can
take your powers of attraction to the next level with the next brain
optimizer, which weve called the Gold Medal technique.

Neuro-linguistic programming (or NLP) is a relatively new phenomenon

within the world of neuroscience, as it didnt become recognized until
the late 1970s. NLP embraces the fact that communication and
language play important roles in the formation of our brains.
By using selective words and communicating them to ourselves and
others, we can help ensure that our brains are primed for success. In
effect, we can use NLP to tell our brains what to believe. NLP utilizes
and activates the same areas of the brain as meditation, which means
that our minds are much more receptive to positive mantras than when
were in any other state.
While there isnt a great deal of research that has been performed on
NLP since the 70s, it is still a powerful technique that can make it
possible for you to optimize your brain for wealth and abundance. To
effectively use NLP techniques to optimize your own brain, consider
taking the following steps:

17

 Keep a journal of all the positive statements youve been saying to yourself
over the course of the last few weeks. Write down how you feel when you
say these positive statements to yourself. Do you believe in them? Do you
feel a sense of hope and happiness? Track your emotions in your journal,
as this will play an important role in helping you determine how your mind
is responding to these brain optimizers.
Repeat the positive mantras in the last exercise in a mirror or another
reflective surface. Sometimes looking yourself face to face can force you to
acknowledge that you need to believe in what youre saying. You may feel
uncomfortable at first, especially when you look yourself in the eye and say
positive things. This is because youre so used to negative thought
processes that saying something different might feel strange. But keep
going through with this exercise, as over time, youll come to feel more
comfortable with the act of looking yourself in the eye and telling yourself
positive things.
Tell someone you trust about the positive influence you want to have over
your mind. Since NLP techniques require you to use language and
communication, having someone provide you with verbal feedback about
your goals can help positive neural pathways form within your mind. Tell a
family member or friend about what youre doing, and what you require
from them. You want to tell someone who is going to be supportive of you
and pick you up when youre feeling down. Be very selective about who
you tell, as you dont want this person to mock you; this just reinforces any
negative beliefs and thought processes.

18

 Interpret some negative events and experiences that youve encountered in

your past. Events and experiences can play a powerful role in forming
negative thought processes, as they serve to reinforce the dismal beliefs you
have in your mind.
Spin these previous events around into more positive ones. For example, if
you lost money on an investment during the Great Recession, dont use this
as a reason as to why you should avoid investing. Instead, regard it as a
learning experience. Instead of using aggressive investments, you could
spread your money out more so you wont be as impacted by a sudden dip
in the market.
Remove the words, I cant from your vocabulary. Saying I cant
acknowledges the fact that nothing is in your control, which removes your
sense of responsibility and power. If you want to optimize your brain to
achieve wealth, its important to recognize that everything in your life is a
choice. When you remove the words, I cant, youll find that there are
more options and choices available that you might not have realized before.
Pretend you can do the things you feel you cant do. For example, if you
think that youre bad at handling money, tell yourself that you are, and act
accordingly. This follows the mantra of fake it until you make it, which
means that with enough pretending, youll eventually become the thing you
want to be. Its just another example of how powerful and incredible the
mind can really be.

NLP works to reinforce your brains newfound positive beliefs. After all,
it can be very difficult for your brain to let go of negative beliefs and
thought processes, especially if theyve been reinforced by previous
events and experiences. Thats why its critical to recognize that your
beliefs are a matter of choice.

19

Youre not married to your negative beliefs, nor do you have to suffer
with them for the rest of your life. You can drop the beliefs that are
limiting you, or you can choose to keep these toxic beliefs in your life.
Give yourself permission to explore the newfound possibilities and
opportunities that are available to you. Dont restrict yourself based
upon your past, or from experiences that you may have encountered in
the world of finances. The past is your past and the future is waiting
for you with new potential and choices.

These brain optimizers are designed to show you something powerful:

its your choice whether you end up wealthy or not. Wealth isnt
something that happens to a lucky few, or something thats randomly
given to some people over another. Money is something that you can
make happen in your life with a little bit of work and a few smarter
choices.
Its like weight loss or pursuing a job youve always wanted. Its not
going to happen right away, nor is it going to happen if you sit back and
wait for everything to be handed to you. It takes a considerable amount
of effort and work to attract wealth into your life but when you use
these brain optimizers, youll notice something amazing happen.

20

Youll notice that youll start to make smarter choices with your money.
Instead of spending your pay check as soon as you get it, youll find that
the impulse to spend is gone and instead, you want to save as much
money as possible. Youll discover that you dont look at money as
something you dont have enough of; instead, youll realize that you
have an abundance of money already, and you can help it to grow.
Youll also realize the power and potential that resides within your own
mind. When you realize the incredible potential that your brain can
achieve, youll suddenly be in awe of all that you can do. Nothing seems
off-limits to you.
Youll be able to pursue anything and everything in your path and
whats more, you wont encounter any of the limiting thoughts and
beliefs that previously held you back. Youll feel energized and
heightened by the sense of your own power and potential. And whats
more, youll inspire those around you. Your family members and friends
will realize just how powerful positive thinking can be and theyll be
quick to follow suit.
Right now, you have a choice. You can
choose to use the exercises youve found in
this workbook. You can choose to optimize
your brain for success, and achieve the life
youve always wanted. Or you could choose
to continue down the same path, hoping for
a wealthy life but always ending up
disappointed.
The choice is before you so which options
will you choose?
