When Mimi Bouchard was 19 years old, she was living in London with only $9.63 in her bank account.
She was juggling four jobs, trying to make ends meet, while exhaustingly pouring whatever little leftover energy she had into an online magazine she wanted to create.
It was around that time that she picked up The Success Principles by Jack Canfield and her entire frame of mind shifted.
‘I realized that success wasn’t about luck – it was about rewiring my mindset and aligning my actions with the version of me who had already achieved everything I wanted,’ Mimi told the DailyMail.com.
She naturally gravitated toward manifestation.
When she first started dabbling, she said that she didn’t have much prior knowledge but she was fascinated by personal development and the idea that people could shape their own realities.
She tried meditation at first, but realized it wasn’t for her.
‘Sitting still and trying to clear my mind felt disconnected from my goal-driven nature,’ she said.
Mimi Bouchard started with less than $10 in her bank account and then built an app that’s worth over $40 million
‘I wanted something more engaging, something that would energize me and help me feel like I was already living my dream life.’
And this dream life soon became a reality for her.
Mimi now owns a multi-million dollar ($40-million to be exact) app Activations, where she helps people achieve their dreams through manifestation.
Activations is an audio app, and just like Mimi’s own personal philosophy, it has nothing to do with meditation.
She explained that the help provides listeners with audios meant to help rewire their subconscious mind.
The hope is that you listen to these ‘Activations’ while you’re walking, cooking, or getting ready in the mornings, slowly embody the energy of your future self.
‘Instead of passively listening, you’re actively stepping into your future self while doing the things you already do every day,’ she said.
‘This triggers classical conditioning which makes you transform even faster.’

She had begun making these Activations for herself as a way to help her visualize the life she wanted – the financial freedom, being a successful business owner.
Mimi said this is exactly why she recommends that her followers do the same.
While manifesting through things like her own Activation app, she’s seen firsthand how powerful one’s state of mind can be.
But she specified that it isn’t ‘magic’ the way people assume it to be.
‘Manifestation isn’t about wishful thinking or sitting back and waiting for things to happen,’ she said.
She explained that there’s a science behind it all.
‘Our thoughts and emotions emit an energetic frequency, and when we shift that frequency, we align ourselves with the opportunities, people, and circumstances that match that energy,’ she said.
While Mimi is a huge proponent of manifestation, she doesn’t expect people to just be on board automatically.

In fact, she said she too understands the skepticism, especially if you’re someone who has been taught that success only comes through hard work and luck.
But she emphasized that you don’t have to believe in manifestation to start seeing results.
‘You just need to be open to the possibility that changing the way you think, feel, and act can change your life,’ Mimi said.
She encouraged beginners to try manifesting by doing things like listening to her Activation app for only five minutes a day.
‘Let yourself feel what it would be like to live your dream life – how would that version of you move, think, and make decisions?,’ she said.
‘When you consistently align with that version of yourself, your actions naturally start reflecting that reality, and that’s when things begin to shift.
‘Once you experience that shift, the results speak for themselves.’
