I don't buy it either... even if I am a strong believer and benefactor of LoA... |
I’m agnostic about quantum/string theory, etc claims of how the LoA works. Rupert Sheldrake’s and other research seem to suggest that The Secret’s presenters may be on to something, but I don’t attach myself to a particular theory.

LoA without MASSIVE ACTION is dead...

I don’t think anyone actually believes that no action is required. If some people do believe in that, they misunderstand the LoA. However, statements like “LoA without MASSIVE ACTION is dead” are ambiguous.
Friend of mine was working on his online business for two years. He was spending in excess of 10 hours a day doing everything a webmaster should do to increase the number of visitors to his website. Sometimes, he would not even take one day off to go for a walk or spend more time with his family.
I can definitely say that he was putting massive amount of action into his business. Guess what? He was making little money from his website and told me he was thinking about quitting. I offered help and told him that I would look into the coding he did for the site.
Guess what? It took me 10 minutes to find a number of mistakes that he has made. It took me another 15 minutes to fix them. Guess what happened next? The number of visitors to his website has skyrocketed to thousands of visitors a day and it is still growing. Now he earns enough money to support his family and he is expanding his business.
I have seen many people who took massive action, but they did not get what they wanted; they burned out.
I know for a fact that I have taken far less action than my online competitors and I have gotten much better results. Do you know why? Am I smarter than they are? Do I know some “secrets” that they do not know? No, they know just as much as I do if not more, and some of them are more educated than I’m.
At the conventions and other gatherings, I consistently hear something like, “Man, I don’t know how you are doing it, but this sh*t is so freaking hard.” Hard? I never actually thought it was hard and I never thought about competing with them. I just do my thing and I love what I do.
They often complain that other people in the industry get away with things that got them in trouble, etc. In essence, they always have an excuse, which in their minds explains why they failed to get what they wanted. They think it is hard, they think they need tricks to get what they want, and they think they need to take massive action.
I don’t think about any of that stuff, I don’t even understand half of the things they are talking about. I just do my thing.
