The concept of the law of attraction is that you can manifest your deepest desires into being with merely the power of thought. So, does that mean you can think your way into a 6-figure copywriting career? Sadly just sitting and waiting for it to happen isn’t quite how it works–but you do have to believe that it is possible for you.
If you’ve ever been guilty of saying things like “Sure, it worked for them, but it wouldn’t work for me!” or “I don’t think I can do it”, this skepticism could be holding you back from achieving your goals. Join Nicki and Kate as they dive into the world of manifestation and explain why you have a lot more agency than you might think.

A Sneak Peek at the Episode
[2:55] The concept of the law of attraction is that you think about and focus on what it is that you want, you believe that it’s possible for you to have, and you align your actions in that direction, so that eventually that thing that you want will come to you.
[4:00] Overcoming skepticism and opening yourself up to the idea that success is possible is a huge hurdle for many. But if someone else can do it, then you can also do it (just look at the hundreds of CCA testimonials)!
[10:14] Whenever we start something new, our fearful brains can get in the way of our success. But if it’s not working for someone, it’s usually because they’re not doing the work that they need to do. Taking action is crucial for success!
[11:22] Belief is a lot easier once you’ve had a little bit of proof. So until you have that from getting your first clients, definitely lean on the CCA community where students regularly share their wins.
[13:46] Instead of asking ‘Why can’t I…?’, try asking yourself empowering questions like ‘How can I do this better?’. You have so many resources and so many people there to support you, build up your belief, and encourage you to take action.
[15:03] Belief and action go hand in hand. If you feel like you’re in that spot where you haven’t fully cemented your belief yet, keep following the steps and trusting the process.
[18:12] By keeping going, it’s not just helping you get to your end goal, it’s also developing you as a person along the way.
[21:23] Many people don’t realize that they can take control of elements of their lives. But once you do that with one thing and make it happen, then you realize you can do that with many other things in your life.
[23:33] Our hosts Nicki and Kate share examples of testimonials from CCA students who have stuck with it despite feeling doubtful, and gone on to achieve great successes!
Must-Hear Takeaways
As with every episode, we highly encourage you to listen to the entire conversation! But here are a few of the highlights:
“One of the first things I would encourage you to open yourself to is this concept of possibility. If someone else can do it, then I also can do it. And the question then is whether you are willing to do the things to get to that result.” – Nicki
“You can complete a marathon by taking baby steps, but you have to keep taking those steps. Will it take you a little bit longer than maybe some other people? Certainly, but who cares? You’re going to get there eventually and that time will pass no matter what. But you will have completed a marathon and obviously that’s the metaphor for your business, and it’s not just that you’ve completed the marathon, it’s who you’ve become on that path.” – Nicki
“It’s the first hurdle in even taking action and some of us may not even realize we’re creating this hurdle for ourselves.” – Kate
“It’s like a self-sabotage moment of just getting in your own way because you’re scared so you’re trying to temper your excitement and expectations from the get-go but then that’s stopping you from taking the right steps that you need to take and from taking action. So you’re just limiting yourself out the gate.” – Kate
