I still haven't managed to manifest any of the things I tried focusing, maybe I quit to soon or I was doing it wrongly... And I don't know of a better time for the LOA to work as now !
My business is slowly climbing up in a time when the financial crisis is going deeper every day it seems.
If you know of a simple but powerfull exercise that works, by all means...

The Realization System is about exactly that - I've simplified the whole Law of Attraction into a simple equation that makes it easy to remember the key principles of the process and therefore easy to apply on an ongoing basis (once you understand the basis behind the equation). Consistent never ending application is a necessity. Of course, to understand the simplicity of
The Realization System in a way that you can integrate into your belief system requires background and supporting information first. Hence the need for a book of explanation. I wish I knew an easier way than to supply the detail, without which I feel it is like explaining the depth of something by commenting on the surface level.
Still, one powerful excercise I can recommend is what I call Mindbeat. It is a form of self hypnosis. You define what you want, then you write this in rhythmic form as a statement of its approaching. An example might be "I'm attracting better business every day - I'm attracting better business every day." You put a ticking clock in your room, and you verbalize or move your lips to recite the statement with each syllable recited in tune with each tick of the clock. After you've verbalized it or moved your lips to the syllables a few times (usually 20 or so is good), you stop moving your lips and think the statement in tune with the ticks: Better business every day, better business every day.
You go to sleep reciting your affirming statement in tune with the ticks of the clock. What happens is the message is sent directly through to your Celestial Mind constantly all night long in time with the ticking which you continue to hear as you sleep. This is a form of isolated fixation, whereby you train your mind to keep fixating upon the statement of the thing you want approaching in isolation to all other thoughts. By falling asleep as you do this (and it does help with falling asleep), your mind continues to recite it even as you sleep for as long as the clock continues to tick. Psychologists refer this as a form of 'self suggestion'.
On face value this process sounds like it would do nothing. But when consistently practiced it offers an excellent means through which to isolate and send a clear message of what you are intending through to the very Source of your creative power. The process of creative attraction is invoked as a result of your fixated attention on the statement, and you will find yourself moved to do whatever is necessary to, in this example, make your business better and, in harmony with this tune, all other aspects of reality that can aid this will be in turn drawn to you. This may happen next day, the next week, or in due course. But, even if you haven't noticed results, the process will most definitely be underway.
I like this process because it is simple but powerful. It also supports your attention which is a key to the Law of Attraction.
Have you ever gone to sleep with a question on your lips and woke up with the answer on your mind? This is because although your Temporal Mind turns inward during sleep, your Celestial Mind continues to work on the things your attention is tuned into, even while you sleep. Most people have had this experience, which is just a version of what can occur when you actively send isolated questions to your Celestial Mind during sleep. Most people dont' realize you can also send isolated messages related to desires, and in turn the same process of 'answering' those messages is put into Celestial play.
It is not uncommon to use this simple process and wake up with new inspired ideas for how to improve your business that seem to have come out of nowhere. It is also not uncommon to find apparent 'coincidences' begin to happen during the day that help you move toward whatever it is your Mindbeat affirmation relates to. This 'better business' example is just an example. You can use this with any affirming statement that something you desire is currently on its way to you.
I use this technique in conjunction with my daily fixation upon what I want. That is, my attention is on something specific throughout the day. Before I go to sleep, I Mindbeat an affirming statement that is related to what my attention is on during the day. The result is my mind works upon it as I sleep, as well as when I'm awake.
Of course, you must support such affirming statements by also defining what you want first. Do you want a specific amount of money, or a certain amount of sales of a certain thing, or a new this or more of that etc. Define this and keep your attention on it during the day. Mindbeat it specifically or generally at night.
Here's a good story on why being specific with your definition is important. Years ago I sold up everything I owned to pursue a different path. At the time, I calculated that my assets only added up to $3-4000 (yep, I had more debt than asset, and hence my net asset was pretty much nonexistent). Problem was, I calculated I really needed $12000 to make the change. So I wrote on a piece of paper that I would get $12000 from the sale of my assets. I actually didn't believe I would for it seemed impossible, but I did it anyway and despite my belief, I allowed my attention to fall upon this figure. I stuck the sheet on the wall in front of my bed. Every morning and every night I let my attention fall upon the numbers $12000 (whilst in the back of my head I was also aware that $12000 was what I wanted to get from all my assets because it was what I needed).
Crazy things began to happen. As I was clearing out my things, I found old birthday cards - 3 of them to be precise, with $50 notes in them. Who leaves $50 notes in birthday cards? Well apparently I did, on no less than 3 different birthdays, and put them in various boxes. Easy $150. I found other cash lying around. Some items I sold went for way more than I expected. For example, I found some of the CD's I had in my small CD collection had become collectors items, with one of them worth $2500! (which I thought I'd get $10 for). Thousands of dollars came to me in ways I couldn't possibly have predicted. So many crazy coincidences happened that slowly but surely began to add up in $$. At the end of selling all my stuff, guess how much money I received? $12400 almost exactly! This is another example of why you don't
need to 'believe', but rather the most important thing is to apply attention to your intention.
The beauty of the way the process of creative attraction works is that it seems like its nonsensical or the idea of a mind not grounded in reality. But, when applied with fixated attention, it almost always works.
You mentioned you might have given up early. The thing about the creative process is it is not time bound. Sometimes the object of your attention will come quickly, other times it will take years. But, in my experience, it nearly always arrives and if it doesn't, something else arrives in its place that is close or better, as if your Celestial side really did know what was better for you. The way I've come to view the time aspect is this: the longer it takes to manifest, the more the Universe is asking 'just how bad do you want it?' If your attention on it wanes, then it was never a real, burning desire to you. But, if its something you absolutely must have in your life, no matter what, then by keeping your attention on it, you reply to this message with 'So bad that I'll never give up.'
If you find that the LOA is not working for you, I honestly believe it would be that the problem resides in your understanding and application of it (no offence there by the way, that's not a criticism, but constructive advice). Not always of course, for this is a co-creation universe. But if you find it consistently doesn't seem to have an effect, then I'd wager it is related to a lack of conviction to specific desires, a lack of definition of what you want, a lack of isolated fixated attention upon a clear definition of what you intend to experience in life, and a lack of noticing the signs upon which to take action.
In terms of simplicity, it really is this simple: Decide what you want in life, define it in full detail, then place your fixated attention upon its realization. Be attentive to what you want, be attentive to the messages that spontaneously enter your life related to what you want, and take action upon those messages. Always know that even when you can't see it, it is on its way in some form or another. Simply keep at it, and when you least expect it, usually that is exactly when it will appear.
