5 Lucky Bitch by Denise Duffield-Thomas Introduction You lucky bitch! I can t believe how easy life is for you! Have you ever thought that about someone else? Lucky bitch! is a refrain we hear often in our society, often with thinly disguised envy wrapped in humour. But don t worry by the end of this book, you ll be full embracing your absolutely awesome good luck. Do you already consider yourself a lucky person or are you reading this book to get some much needed ideas about how to improve your fortune? Either is totally okay. The truth is we can all consciously create luck in our own lives, not entirely by hard work and perspiration as the refrain goes, but with a combination of the right kind of effort, plus an unwavering belief that we deserve to experience the highest levels of love, abundance, good health and personal success. Make this realisation and the results can be astounding. However, I haven t been specially selected by the Universe any more than the next person. There s nothing particularly unusual about me, I wasn t born under a lucky star, I didn t grow up wealthy and I haven t yet won the lottery. In fact, some of us have not had the most auspicious starts in life and there were times indeed in my life where I was downright unlucky. There have been times when I was down to my last dollar, when I struggled with finding a fulfilling career path and times when I honestly felt like the potential deep inside me was to be forever lost. Yet, since those days of dark despair, the most extraordinary things keep happening to me. I ve become unbelievably lucky. Opportunities seem to be attracted to me and crazy synchronicities have become a regular occurrence. Bank

6 errors in my favour, all-expenses paid travel around the world, the right mentors and courses along with the money to pay them, even winning at Bingo it all seemed magical. At first I thought it was random, but it happened with such regularity that I had to take a second look at what I was doing to attract this good fortune to me. Then I started coaching other women in similar situations, and also began happening to them. I get s all the time that start with Denise, you re never going to believe what happened. Suddenly, people are attracting dream jobs, pay increases, free flights, new relationships and increased levels of happiness for no apparent reason. The world around all of us is changing. Many of us are awaking to the possibility of being the Director of our own lives. We realise that we don t have to accept what we re given, but that reality is highly malleable. We are responsible for our own circumstances. None of our revelations are new; we are just remembering who we are and turning away from old belief systems like shrugging off an old coat. What lucky bitches we are! It s becoming so easy today to find the information we need to unlock these secrets and keep our positivity high. New leaders are emerging. Concepts of manifestation and the Law of Attraction have become mainstream. Thanks to the power of the internet, we are able to find our like-minded tribes worldwide, and share what we know with each other. Thank god for Facebook and Twitter, right? I m so grateful that I can be part of this movement, to be a living, breathing example of what you can do when you harness your own power and decide to live in your own reality. This is not a book where I just brag about my accomplishments and how astoundingly lucky I ve become. Well, not entirely. My genuine wish is that Get bonus chapters and audios at

7 Lucky Bitch by Denise Duffield-Thomas you re inspired by the luck me and my clients have been able to harness, because trust me it s not random. This book is designed to inspire you to take action in areas of your life that may be lacking some magic. Some concepts are familiar, and some may be new, but I invite you to take them all a new level that you have always dreamed for your life. What else could be possible for you? You ll learn some very practical techniques to exponentially increase your luck. You ll also learn some wonderful metaphysical concepts which produce amazing results in the real world and make your day to day life much more fun and fulfilling. However, never presume the results are 100% predictable. When you set an intention to change your life, it will happen. Always. Not always in the way you expected, but always in the way you asked for. The Universe is ridiculously literal. The time frame however, is unknown. The Universe is a complex machine. We do not yet know the exact chain of events we put into motion when we send out a request. We can only trust that we ve been heard, and trust we will be taken care of. I believe we won t need these rituals in the future in order to manifest our heart s desire. In the meantime, we do; perhaps as a pathway for us to believe we can do it. The day you decide to do it is your lucky day Japanese Proverb As you read this book ask yourself constantly What do I really want for myself?. Some chapters might bring up some emotion for you. Disbelief or impatience. Perhaps frustration, anger or resentment. If this happens, put your hand on your heart and affirm Good things are happening for me too, I am ready for the next step. Do that every day for a month and you ll be astounded at what the Universe brings you.

8 The truth is, we re all capable of becoming unbelievably lucky. It s possible to choose to become that lucky bitch, and to see the doors of opportunity open automatically for you. As I was writing this, I was drawn to picking some writing music. The famous Barbara Streisand song How Lucky Can You Get was the first song that caught my eye; the version from one of my favourite musicals Hot Shoe Shuffle. I wasn t even aware of the awesome synchronicity as I started dancing around my living room, I just love any excuse to dance. As the song finished, I realised was I was singing a song all about gratitude, abundance, luck and loving life. Isn t that fabulous? Another message from the Universe. I get them all the time and I always express my thanks for how marvellously I m taken care of. We all are, all the time. We just need our eyes opened every once in a while. This book is designed to give you everything you need to become more consciously aware of what you are attracting into your life and start directing your energies to becoming luckier in the things that matter most to you whether that s in love, money, business, relationships or health. There is enough for everyone. Just because you become a luck magnet doesn t mean that someone else in your life will have to go without. Nor will my supreme luckiness suck up all your luck too. There is enough for us all. We have an ocean of abundance, of luck and of good fortune. You can choose to be lucky or unlucky. The Universe doesn t distinguish; it just gives you exactly what you ask for. I m so excited for you! Get bonus chapters and audios at

9 Lucky Bitch by Denise Duffield-Thomas Denise Duffield-Thomas Success Magnet Winning the Ultimate Job I want to share the whole story with you of how I won the Ultimate Job competition, because it really is an unbelievable tale. There is something in this for everyone, so even if you've heard it before, I want you to read it with new eyes. There is a lot of information here that I ve never shared publicly until now, and it really illustrates how good luck and hard work can combine to attract absolutely anything you want in life. Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come. Serena Williams Here s the short version. In 2010, my husband Mark and I won a social media competition to travel around the world for free, reviewing honeymoon destinations all over the globe. Places of sheer luxury, of blinding adventure. It was all expenses paid plus we got paid a salary. Awesome, right? We travelled to 12 different countries over six months. Tropical islands and the beating heart of the desert. Luxurious resorts and hotels. We experienced them all, and in return we had to write about it and make videos. It s a dream job. We started in New York, visiting the fabulous and the famous; like the Waldorf-Astoria and the Empire State Building. Next on to Kenya and a safari, meeting real life Masai warriors and seeing elephants and lions in the wild. We stayed in private villas in Mauritius and Zanzibar; in some locations we had a butler

10 and a personal chef. We traversed Malta, Spain, Jordan, Ireland, the UK, Indonesia, Thailand and finally topped it all off in beautiful Queensland, Australia. It was unbelievable, right? Of course it was hard work, and not a total holiday, but obviously a small price to pay for an unbelievable opportunity. Most people would absolutely kill for it. Was it a fluke? No, it was not. I believe I completely manifested the opportunity into my life. I used the Law of Attraction techniques to actually win it. You can manifest opportunities, but you also have to win them and take action to actually achieve them. I ve been interested in personal development since I was about fourteen, when I walked into a second-hand book shop and I found an amazing book called The Magic of Believing. It s all about creating your reality with your thoughts and feelings. This was news to me. I grew up with a single mum in an area that, whilst a positive environment, it wasn t particularly inspiring. It wasn t stretching me to grow and to be a better person. So, at that age, when I read about goal setting and the power of positivity, I was absolutely blown away. The seed had been deposited, and would germinate many years later. Whilst at University, I attended personal development seminars like Tony Robbins Unleash the Power Within and walked on hot coals while thousands of people shouted and pumped their fists. I also read hundreds of motivational books. These kept me positive, but they weren't really changing anything for the better in my life. I got good jobs here and there, but regularly sabotaged myself, and didn t earn very much money. I started businesses and entrepreneurial ventures, but these didn t really work out. Again, I didn t really make any money out of these endeavours. Get bonus chapters and audios at
