Mark Haughton 

The author of multiple books, Mark Haughton, wasn’t always the beacon of positivity he is today. Life had struck him so hard that he felt like a popped balloon. His optimism dwindled amid distractions, and his well of good luck seemed dry. Yet, within Mark, a flicker of defiance remained.

Mark’s mind had questions. How could some people seem to have all the luck while others felt perpetually stuck?

Years melted away as Mark devoured books on physics, meditation, and anything else that hinted at the universe’s hidden mechanics. It felt like chipping away at a stubborn granite wall with a teaspoon – slow, frustrating, with little to show for his efforts. But then, one day, a crack appeared. It dawned on him: our inner world, that storm of thoughts and feelings, might actually be shaping the reality we experience on the outside.

This discovery was a light bulb moment for Mark. He practiced visualization, conjuring vivid images of his goals. And guess what? The results were astounding; he won the lottery several times!

The financial windfall was exhilarating, but a deeper realization dawned on Mark- empowering others to unlock their own potential. So, he poured his knowledge into books, his bestseller being “How to Win the Lottery Using Quantum Physics,” a title that both intrigues and unveils the secret – it isn’t about external luck, but harnessing the power within.

But Mark’s impact is even greater than the books he has written. He has crafted transformative courses like “The Law of Attraction” and “Deliberate Creation.” Here, he becomes a guide, leading individuals on a journey to unlock the boundless potential of their subconscious and actively shape their lives.
