[How does the law of attraction work?]

It works, but you have to get out of duality first. If you're still operating in duality then whatever you project that you want will be cancelled out by its opposite.
It's like when you try not think of a pink elephant, but then it becomes all you can think about.

However I found a way out, it took me going through the dark night of the soul in order to find it though. So what I say may sound simple or trite, but believe me it was a soul struggle to find it.

Here it is:
Life's not about winning or losing, it's about easing.

What this means is, don't feed into the sensations of winning or losing, only hold the sensation of easing.
Once you do this you will feel unburdened by the weight of duality, at first this is enough, just being in this state of easing. You won't need to do anything, just remain in this state, get used to it, make it your default state, do it for a few months and keep going. Once you have transitioned sufficiently into this state of easing then your highest joy will start to manifest, you won't need to do anything, except act on your highest joy as the opportunities flow in. It's mostly about beingness, not doingness.
