A few years ago I had a troubling experience with one of my readers. Through this experience, I learned a powerful lesson about “how to receive”.
Let’s talk about a piece that sometimes gets overlooked: our ability to receive what we’re asking for.
It takes a certain amount of faith to ‘receive’, and I’ll show you why. And, as a thanks for all of the tremendous love and support I’ve felt from my readers since 2002, I have an additional GIFT below, a downloadable guide on this topic – but if you want to “receive” this gift, there is an “obstacle” that must first be “overcome”.
You will be taken to a Shopping Cart page where the file will be listed as FREE. No need for credit card info, just tell me who you are and you’ll be sent the download. There is a reason I am delivering it this way… see how you do!
Listen to the podcast, and then click here to request your FREE GIFT
Enjoy!

Just a quick note to let you know that I declined checking out your offer as I see no reason for you to get my postal address, etc. for a free download. In fact, you don’t need that for a paid download.
Unless you need that information to send me something that I’ve requested or bought from you, there is no need to capture it.
If you want to give something away for free, a shopping cart is the worst way to do it. There are 3 steps instead of 1 and you’re collecting too much information. A simple landing page with an email optin would be much more successful for you.
Hi Leslie,
After hearing to the how to receive audio, it was quite clear to me that it is really true that “The teacher appear when the student is ready”, there are times when we desperately has for help, but do not listen to those who provide it.
Great lesson!!
Best regards and blessings
Hi Leslie,
Thank you for the valuable free gift. It makes you stop and think what I may have been blocking from happening. I felt a bit reluctant to get taken to the shopping cart but your clarification that it is free and I don’t need to give you my credit card details for access put me at ease. I didn’t realize how easily I let a block stop me. Thanks again,
Lisa
THANK you Leslie! I’m finishing Jack Rabbit Factor this weekend and LOVE what I’ve been reading! I’m using it to help a friend in the doldrums after his business went under. “Think Positively” has to be our “mantra” 🙂 You have more patience then I would have with the Pennys. I look forward to reading your Portal book next. 🙂
Have a GREAT weekend!

Thank you so much for the gift. I have read 2 of your books, attended a home school seminar where you presented and your presentation and writings have assisted us in our climb out of the muck, I am finding that I can see how the last 40 years of my life have created unique talents and abilities in me, I am finding that I am still expecting the answer to come from outside me….like another person would be more qualified to receive that inspiration of how my life mission is to be accomplished. I am finding myself frustrated because I know the answer is available and I am just not tuned in (the radio receiver). I have been journaling for months,regularly study my core book and I receive answers to so many questions on my knees. Still, when I look inward specifically with the purpose of how to implement what I know my mission to be, I feel scattered and confused. I am working on my life vision and I find that I will confidently write down a section only to experience extreme doubt the next time I read it through. Is this just fear or is it a message? I will keep asking on my knees but I’m wondering if you’ve experienced this?
The spiritual life of my family from the outside looks the same but we have all experienced profound deepening that has brought such joy. Our financial life is turning around, I feel in every cell of my body we are on the edge of an unbelievable change I just feel scattered when I am trying to envision the milestones. I’m not sure if that will make sense to anyone but me.
Your books have been read by every member of my family that can read and excerpts have been shared with everyone else.
We have passed our copies around to friends and family and recommended them to dozens of people.
I am so grateful for your family and the service you render to so many. I’m grateful for your influence on me and my family. 🙂 Susan
Ironic, and sad.
Persistence is still a VIRTUE.
Lou, George, Lee, be careful what you ask for,the Lord might just hand it to you on a silver platter.
Go back, try again, this time you just might be successful. If the desired goal is worthy of a first effort, is it not, also, worthy of a second, or third, etc., effort. T. Edison did NOT invent the light bulb on the first shot Failure only exists when we refuse to try again. Unsuccessful efforts only that, nothing more, nothing less, just a learning experience. A mistake is never a loss if one learns from it. As is said, “Keep on truckin’.” Larry
Thanks for the download! I did find the people you asked about. It is ironic. After reading the Jackrabbit Factor, small blessings I “didn’t” want to pay attention to before are all around me. Thank you for all you do and God bless you and your family.
Thanks a lot for your gift. Well received!
I think you did the right thing sending her the book through the mail. You could have saved alot of your time by doing that in the first place though. I do understand the reasoning behind it too. Everyone makes mistakes, and deserves the benefit of the doubt. She no doubtably is too emensed in her problems at the time to “see the forest for the trees”.Hopefully, she has read the book and gained some enlightment in the process.Thanks, Dana
Leslie,
I have been exposed to some powerful lessons with my mentor, Alice Hawke. She too has been very patient with me. I’m moving toward a deeper awareness and am grateful she introduced me to you and your generous wisdom/sharing. Practicing patience and forgiveness of myself is another key component for me!
Grateful for your connection with your own inner wisdom and not being afraid to use God as a source in your presentations/lessons is commendable!
Simply, thanks,
Suella
Leslie, All I have to say is wow! you are an angel!! And its beautiful to see your caring. Just to know that there are caring people like you, is a beautiful thing for me.
Leslie;
There are many people like Penny who are too fearful to even reach for the help they have asked for, and they can and will trip themselves up once they muster the courage to reach for that help.
That is the other side of the coin when it comes to being willing and ready to receive. So, just as she could have taken action to provide you with a postal mail address once she first had trouble with e-mail and/or downloading an e-version of the book, what prevented you from asking her early on: “Penny, where can I just mail you a printed copy of the book that I’ll even sign & personalize for you?”
That’s the first thing that came to my mind when you were first presented with what you label an “insane” dilemma over & over again when trying to sincerely help this person seeking a rescue.
Stated differently, you could have saved yourself all of your valuable time and effort on all that WebTV research, on the cut & paste of the e-book into a document attachment e-mail, and everything else done for her over all that time, simply by mailing her the book in an envelope.
Just as one must be ready and be open to receive and accept a blessing, I think another message for you was “to take measures to reasonably assure what you send out will be received.”
As for those 2 correspondents who were flummoxed by the checkout cart with a bill for zero dollars, we can see how people can be confused by what they do not expect to see. I think we all were looking for a download link, not an invoice.
I successfully downloaded the excerpt, but I really did not figure on having to fill in postal mail and telephone information all over again to retrieve an electronic download, either.
Fondly,
William
Hi William,
Actually, she emailed me again about three weeks ago (after having disappeared for nearly two years). She said, “I don’t know how you went from broke to fame in such little time. …I have no clue, no ideas, as to how to get out of this poverty filled life. You were lucky you had an idea, I don’t even have any idea how to change this depressing life.”
Do you see why I included the segment in JF about successful people being “lucky”?
Anyway, I did just what you think I should have done all along: I asked for her mailing address. I did it as an experiment because I know we would all like to know what might come of it. I asked for her mailing address, and I sent her the book. She expressed heartfelt gratitude once she found out it was on its way. I asked her to let me know when it arrived, but to date I have not seen an email come in from her. Perhaps she’s tried and I’m the one who hasn’t received. She signed for it, so at least I know she got it.
I can hope for the best, but it’s most likely that the effort she has put forth to obtain it will be commensurate with how much she gets out of it. It would surprise me to find out that she’s read it. A person who receives it as a gift will sometimes glean less from it than the person who chose to sacrifice their grocery money or some other priority to obtain it.
If you’ve read the Jackrabbit Factor and understood the meaning of the various encounters, then I believe you’d understand exactly why I didn’t send her the book in the first place.
Warm regards,
Leslie
Hi Leslie:
I read those comments from “Lou”, etc. I am one who did find the $0.00 FREE gift in the Shopping Cart. And I could really relate to your story and the lessons you got out of the whole process yourself.
HOWEVER, a couple yrs ago I may have been ‘LOU” and not have been “able to find the info.” (I have read Jack Rabbit and the Portal book.)
It is interesting how we start to see things differently— as we Vow to “BE PATIENT” and to ALLOW ourselves to actually “SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.”
Also I am getting more experience on how all websites are set up. It is language and technology unto it’s own. You need to be WILLING to LEARN it.
A lot of people don’t even know that they are “unwilling” to learn at certain stages. It just seems so overwhelming. (and I was one of them, too.) So I will pray for others— that they OPEN to their next step. And set aside TIME to learn….

Hi!! Leslie. It is really awesome. I’ve been enjoying everything you share with us, I’ve improved my life in some areas, since i started reading Tony Robbins books. I’m certain your style is unique and really good. I loved the video about the stickman as well, really good. I’m worried because I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I’d like to share all of this with my family and not all of them speak English. Please try to start in our language, that will help a lot of people here, I’m sure about that. Sincerely, Oscar.
Hi Oscar,
I have good news for you… some of the information has been translated into Spanish. Not all of it, but at least The Jackrabbit Factor and I believe the tidbits, too. Contact me here for more info.
All the best,
Leslie
I continue to be in awe of your generosity and of your truly giving nature. I know I would have given up on “Penny” after the second or third go-around — and that does say something about my own lack of persistence. And I don’t suppose this was the central point of the audio. So the4 learnings are indeed multi-dimensional.
Thank you!
Martha
Howdy Miss Leslie,
After listening to your “receiving” audio last week I am also amazed at the irony of the comments left by the three folks you mentioned in your email yesterday. I just had to laugh. It has been interesting for me to learn how our brains are programed and how that program effects our reality. Rewiring our neural networks is no small feat but I’m told is doable. Discovering how to do this is my desire and I believe that I have already been led to sources that will help make this possible. Some of these sources appeared after listening to your “receiving” audio. It seems that your message about following our gut feelings and to be open to receiving had an impact that helped me attract and allow. I am very grateful for your free information and appreciate being able to listen to the audios again and again. Please accept my heartfelt thanks. I look forward to becoming more involved in your programs. I can tell you really care about helping folks.
Adios,
>Paul< from Texas
Dear Leslie,
I did get the irony of the three comments. I also was a bit taken back when I ended up in the shopping cart but I really wanted the information. So I looked carefully, had a trusting heart and voila! I got the recording. I have listened to it and it is me somewhat. That was a bit disconcerting. I am working on it. I read the Jackrabbit Factor and didn’t get it. Oh the story is clear enough but it didn’t sink into me. So I talked it over with my daughter who has read your book. She said “mom read it again and this time take notes.” So I am doing that. If you have a hard time recieving then you have to keep taking responsibility and work it out. I am doing that and actually it feels good albeit a bit frightening at times. My daughter told me today to embrace what I have with gratitude and stop defending the past. Hmmmm. I do beleive it is all becoming a bit clearer. : )
Leslie,
This was actually difficult to listen to – it harkened back to some “not-quite-clear” experiences in my life when I simply know I was Penny, unable to receive – perhaps in direct proportion to the depth of my need(iness). I ached as I listened, both for you and Penny, and for me. I also chuckled because I currently have the same thing going on with someone who contacts our Spiritual Center where I am a Practitioner (I pray with people). She begs for help and then lashes out vehemently claiming she’s being ignored, but never leaves a phone number or address or anything other than a first name. I’ll do some soul searching for the gift of a lesson for me in this current experience, because I haven’t figured out how to be there for her – yet – and also have only the option of prayer. Thank God that’s enough!
Thank you for your work, your gifts and your being.
Blessings, Pamela K., RScP
Good lesson. Being open to receive is just as important as asking, but I tend to forget
that. I think I am worthy to ask, but when it is time for receiving I have not the same strength, so to speak. I am asking myself now: What am I feeling afraid of that I am not open to receive? Everyone may have his own answers. Thank you, Leslie, very insightful.
Leslie,
It is ironic! It just shows you, People are who they are. You can only help those who want to be helped. Lol… Definately Ironic.
