You’re either reading this book because you’re already quite lucky and you want to attract even more into your life,or you’re thinking, “Are you kiddingme?My luck has just about run out”. Either way, get ready because this book will blow your mind! I love it when self-help gurus promise that, don’t you? Not everything in this book is 100% new or ground-breaking, I’ll be honest. After all, if you’ve ever read any personal development books, you’ve probably heard most of thisbefore. However in Lucky Bitch, you’ll read practical examples of the Law of Attraction that sound like magic (or witchcraft). Every story in this book (including my own) is completely true and unembellished, but will soundunbelievableat first. 1 Denise Duffield-Thomas Have you ever thought “You lucky bitch!” about a friend or someone you’ve seen on T.V.? That shows up when you’re ready for more in your life. But – you have to be prepared to do something about it, because the feeling of jealousy is not nice at all. Are you ready for more? Naturally lucky or not, by the end of this book, you’ll be fully embracing your absolutely awesome good fortune. You’ll be surprised how easy it can be. The truth is – we can all consciously create good luck in our own lives, not entirely by hard work and perspiration as the saying 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, regardless of your current circumstances. Make this realisation and the results can be astounding. LikeOMG, what’s happening?! Here’s the truth: I haven’t been specially selected by the Universe. 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.I’m smart but I’m not any genius. Here’s another thing – I may write about personal development, but I’m not perfect, so don’t think I’m some out-of-touch “guru” telling you what to do. I’ve achieved some awesome results in the last 2 Lucky Bitch couple of years, but I had to get over my own fear of not being perfect before I wrote this book. I still yell at my husband when I’ve got PMS, pee in public pools and sometimes cheat at board games. I’m a normal chick with faults like anyone. Many of us have not had the most auspicious starts in life and there were many occasions in my life where I was downright unlucky. There have been times when I was literally down to my last dollar, when I struggled with finding a fulfilling job and times when I honestly felt like the huge potential inside me was going to be squandered. That’s a shitty feeling,right? Yet, since I made a decision a couple of years ago to negotiate my reality (and believed Ideserved it), the most extraordinary things have happened. I’ve become unbelievably lucky. Opportunities seem to be attracted to me and crazy synchronicities have become a regular occurrence. Bank 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. When I add up all of the unexpected gifts from the Universe, it adds up to almost half a million dollars. 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 attractallthis goodfortune. Denise Duffield-Thomas I was always a personal development junkie, but nothing like this had happened to me before. I actually thought I was immune to the Law of Attraction. I went to some of the cheesiest personal development seminars and was always reading goal setting books, but it was hard work. When my goals came true, it was two steps forward, one step back. Until one magical year when everything I wanted suddenly came true. I recorded everything I did. Then I tested my concepts by coaching other women in similar situations, and amazing things began happening to themtoo.Almost without fail. I get emails all the time that start with “Denise, you’re never going to believe what happened…” Suddenly, ordinary women like you and me are attracting their dream job out of the blue, pay increases, free stuff, new relationships and increased levels of happiness for no apparent reason to the outside world.They are becoming moreattractive. What’s going on? The world around all of us is changing, especially for women. 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 ourreality is highly malleable. We are responsible for our own circumstances every day. 4
