We all know how the law of attraction works. Ask the universe for what you want, keep that vision in your mind and eventually you will get what your wish. But what happens when you are living in a hyper busy world, full of bright shiny objects and never ending distractions that pull your focus away from that vision? What happens when you are so distracted that you forget to specify the terms of your wish? What happens when the Universe shows up with exactly what you wanted BUT… it doesnt look the way you expected. Today on the Hot & Healthy in Business Show, we have Inspirational Speaker, Mindset Coach, Brain Cancer Survivor and Best Selling Author, Luke Amery who will be sharing with us his own story of manifestation and why you should be careful what you wish for, because…. you may just get it.
