Elon Bomani has a simple mantra, "I speak positively about money and business."

Through these simple words she has indoctrinated millions on how to think and grow rich.

"I believe in multiple incomes." she says proudly. Bomani also believes, "you are not wealthy until you are making money in your sleep."

Sounds like a simple philosophy, one that anyone would embrace. However, Bomani's own rise to financial and spiritual success was anything but a breeze. She had to hit rock bottom in her life before she took time to re-assess and strategize her goals.

In 2001, Bomani was a stay at home mom from Philadelphia relying solely on her husband's income. She had a brand-new baby boy and her marriage was in a rut. It wasn't long before she and her husband divorced, leaving her nothing. You see, her husband emptied their joint checking account, rendering her penniless. If that wasn't enough, when she sought help she was even denied a bed at a women's shelter.

A bed eventually became available at that shelter and Bomani jumped at the chance for a place to rest her head but, she wasn't complacent. After a two week stay at there, Bomani shifted into what she calls a "prosperity consciousness."
