Law of Attraction is the Third Step for Businesses

August 13th, 2009 at 12:42am Under copyright law

One of my clients, Don, kept waffling back and forth over which sized firms he wanted as his clients. For the lack of that focus, his efforts were scattered and outright conflicting with each other.
If you’ve been aware of hearing about the Law of Attraction recently, you’re in step with the latest message about inspiration. For nearly 25 years, I’ve seen it taught in various forms, from ‘mindfulness retreats’ to EST to various Human Potential and Self-Actualization programs. Each program teaches their own frameworks, or those borrowed from the ages, to give us tools to use on a daily basis.
As with anything in life, all the techniques and frameworks are only moderately effective if you don’t KNOW where you’re going. Without a clear Vision and destination in mind you’ll either eventually get lost or it’ll take you a long time to get there, much longer than necessary.
If you’re heading out to drive into new territory and choose to do it without a roadmap, you may spend a lot of your time recognizing you’re lost and looking for road-side assistance, over and over again. It may not make sense to even head out in the first place.
Over the years, it’s been proven out that if you don’t consciously declare what you want, you’ll continually attract what your unconscious mind wants to attract rather than what you say you want.
In business, I see this play out over and over again with participants in my programs. People learn a technique or two that has the potential to double and even triple how much they accomplish in less time. They take on a commitment to using the new practices, and then come back asking for personal tune-ups.
When we take a closer look at what’s going on, they’ve go the technique down pat. They’re often missing the content – what they’re spending their time on has not been prioritized or selected to get them to a specific destination.
It’s a lot like taking a fabulous ride in a Maserati (yes, the techniques are that powerful), on a perfect day with superb road conditions… and then noticing you’ve got no idea where you’re headed, for how long, and why.
All that energy going to waste! So I want to share with you two of the tune-up steps I use with my program participants.
Pick a Focus
Over the years, I’ve seen certain entrepreneurs be completely wishy-washy about what they want. Or they’re wanting it for the reasons that are taking them off course. BIG mistake. Not knowing what you really want creates confusion in both your marketing AND your manifesting.
Here’s what I mean. Say one day you decide that you want to attract a roster of 200 clients, and you set that intention. But the next day, you decide that instead, you’re interested in only 35 private clients and systems to serve another 150 with a second tier of services. That same afternoon, you decide you don’t want ANY private clients, but instead, you want to only deal with groups. (I’ve watched this switching take place over and over with professionals.)
If you’re sitting in a restaurant placing an order and calling the waiter back over and over, to change it again and again, eventually the waiter will tell you “Call me when you know what you want.” And walk away.
The same goes in your business. For the lack of a focused Vision, every new idea pulls you off course. At that moment, all the time management techniques in the world can’t get you to your destination faster or easier.
If you’re aware that what you focus on is what you bring into your reality, whether you refer to it as the Law of Attraction or by any other term, then you’ll recognize that you’re repeatedly sending the wrong message over and over again to the Universe (or your subconscious mind, whichever you prefer).
Bless The Rest
One of the greatest fears I find my clients facing, is “But what about everyone else who could use me?” I know that fear – I struggled with it for 18 months!
When you recognize that people are looking for ’someone who understands them’ you’ll realize you can accelerate your results by focusing your message and your marketing on them. If other folks show up – serve them if you wish. Open your grip on trying to serve everyone and keep your eye and your message on focus and you’ll find your ideal clients will be clamoring to work with you.
That single focus will guide your product or services design so that they send a consistent message. You’ll be able to keep all your marketing and your service delivery targeted to their specific needs. This in turn will attract what you want, much faster.
Don picked a specific industry, and a target company size for his ideal clients, and 90-days later he’d doubled his active clients. Now it’s your turn!

What is the Universal Law of Attraction?

August 12th, 2009 at 06:41am Under copyright law

Copyright (c) 2008 Rebecca Hanson

The Universal Law of Attraction states the following: We attract whatever we choose to give our attention to — whether wanted or unwanted.

Most of the time, we attract by ‘default’ rather than by deliberate choice. We just sort of go through our day, focusing on problems that need to be solved or on things that did not feel good nor seem right. In so doing, we are actually creating more problems, more of what does not feel good and more of what does not seem right.

Think of yourself as a huge magnet. The kind that pulls metal to itself from afar off. It doesn’t “try” to attract, it simply does attract. It is the same way for us. Whether or not we are trying to attract, we ARE doing so all the time. (Except when we are asleep.) And we attract the likeness of what we think about. If we are thinking about a lack of something, we are attracting more lack (scarcity). If we are thinking about something we love, we are attracting more of what we love and enjoy. I know it sounds incredibly simple, and it is.

We humans are actually very powerful attractors and we can use this wonderful, god-given power to attract more of what we want in life-simply by paying attention to where we place our thoughts and desires.

An old proverb just came to my mind: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 It’s interesting that the writer of this proverb says “thinks in his heart” because most of the time, we think that we think with our mind. However, it is truly from the heart where we do our thinking, our believing, our ‘ vibrating.’

It is from the heart that we attract. Picture your heart as a powerful magnet. The heart is the ‘”vibrator’” of all signals that attract.

Think of a radio. It has many different stations. To tune into a station you dial a specific frequency. As soon as we turn our attention to something (dialed its frequency) it begins its journey to us.

To be rid of something you do not want in your life, simply tune in to a different vibration (frequency or radio station) to something that you do want.

I see the art of Deliberate Attraction as consisting of three parts:

1. Getting very clear about what it is I am wanting.

2. Raising my vibration until it matches what I want.

3. Allowing what I want to come to me.

We have the opportunity to gain clarity in knowing precisely what we want, through the many “contrasts’” that life offers us. The key to successfully using contrast is to observe it briefly and use it to help you decided what you do want. This takes a little practice, since our habit is to talk about, tell others about and focus on what we did not like.

It is usually the third part that trips me up. I have held onto some self-limiting beliefs for a very long time, so long that I no longer recognize them, yet they are still vibrating below the surface, canceling out what I am wanting.

My work is to let go of all resistance and believe that what I am wanting will come to me — simply because I want it.

Law of Attraction: the Truth or a Lie?

August 10th, 2009 at 12:41pm Under copyright law

Copyright (c) 2008 Rebecca Hanson

Recently I discovered how the Law of Attraction makes it easy to recognize the truth from a lie.

A coaching client had asked if I could help her regain her joy in her marriage. Married almost 40 years to an exceptionally kind and caring man, two years ago she had listened to a “friend” who shared, in confidence, that she thought my client’s husband was having an affair. This came as a shock to my client. Yet, she allowed those words to take root. Why? Because 20 years earlier, she had begun to tell herself, “This is too good to last. One day he will leave me.”

Now, my client began to wonder if all she had learned about the Law of Attraction could help her turn this situation around. The amount of suspicion and “evidence” against her husband had grown, but he maintained his love for and faithfulness to her. She admitted that there was no proof he had been having an affair, other than he was seen talking with one of her girl friends.

As a coach, I knew it would be important to help my client sort through what was truth, what was not the truth, and what was an illusion or a lie. Then I remembered those words from the Bible, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” I prayed for wisdom, and my inner voice spoke ever so gently. “You can tell the truth by how it feels. Truth feels good. Untruth feels bad.”

I spoke this wisdom to my client. She was relieved to know that there was a way to know the truth — and it had nothing to do with externals. However, by looking at how the report about her husband made her feel, she could see that it had all been a lie. All her suspicious, all her sadness, all her imaginings of him being with someone else had been based on falsehood. The truth was (and is) that he loves her and continues to love and cherish her. As we did EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) together, she released the old energy and thought patterns that had caused her so much grief. And as we “tapped in” the truth, the joyous Truth, her vibration came up very quickly AND so did the first evidence of the Truth of his love. During our coaching session, he left her a very loving voice message while we were talking on the phone.

Yes, the Law of Attraction is very powerful. A fear, entertained for 20 years, attracted a report that was not true, but was a vibrational match to that fear. From then on, looking for evidence to support the lie, many situations were interpreted as “evidence” that the fear and the lie were “the truth” when, in fact they were not.

Do you have an issue in your life that brings you sadness or pain? Ask the Law of Attraction (LOA) to show you the origins of this situation. Most likely it is based on fear or self-doubt. Notice how you feel relief at uncoving the Truth. Thank the LOA for showing you the Truth: that something based on a lie doesn’t feel good but learning the Truth does feel good.

This is such a simple method of determining Truth. I hope you’ll remember this story and trust your feelings to keep you happy and well.

Law of Attraction: People Want to Make a Difference

August 10th, 2009 at 06:41am Under copyright law

Copyright (c) 2008 Rebecca Hanson

I’ve been noticing an interesting trend lately. While teaching TeleClasses, I’ll ask my students why they are learning about the Law of Attraction, and 8 out of 10 studnts will say something like, “So I can really make a difference in the lives of my clients.” Or they’ll say, “The Law of Attraction (LOA) offers a genuine way to make a difference in (their area of interest).” I shared this insight with a student in our Certified Law of Attraction Practitioner’s course and she agreed immediately! Jackie Davies has noticed that after just a few courses in Law of Attraction, she IS making a difference. Here’s a story she shared with me.

Cathy, (not her real name) a coaching client, wanted support to overcome some inner resistance she was feeling about moving her new business forward. A couple of weeks into the coaching process, a personal crisis erupted in her relationship with her significant partner. She felt she needed to end the relationship and would have to shelve the new business for a while.

Cathy said that she has never been able to “stand up for herself” in a relationship. Over and over she has found herself in the same unrelenting cycle: unable to talk about aggravating incidents and behaviours and then tolerating and stewing about them until they became unbearable. Eventually, she would feel like the only solution would be to end the relationship. And now it was happening once again. She was acutely aware of her repetitive pattern: It upset her, but she just didn’t know how to change it even though she wanted to.

We talked about LOA – and it resonated with her. I offered her some tools – the T-Tool, Raising Vibration Statements, and using the Emotional Scale to reach for a better thought-feeling.

It was a really tough week for her with other serious issues arising as well. However, she persisted. She used the tools, several times. And, she noticed that it was essential to sit down and do the writing, not just think about it.

To her surprise, she easily and calmly confronted her partner and was able to tell him what she needed in the relationship. Her clarity and openness also helped him to speak openly and calmly about where he was coming from. For the first time, they were able to communicate in a way that that allowed them to break the destructive pattern which was leading to their separation. And, the best part is that Cathy is feeling better about her partner than she has in a long time.

Knowing how to deliberately reach for a better thought-feeling has been a life changing discovery for Cathy (and me too). It is truly liberating to learn that we are capable of changing our vibrations to more positive ones, to have the tools to do so, and to change what we are attracting into our lives.

Cathy is now back at moving her business forward with renewed enthusiasm and energy.

The Law of Attraction & a Balanced Lifestyle

August 9th, 2009 at 06:41am Under copyright law

We live in a world where things that should be counted as uncommon have become widespread. One of which, is more familiar than we would think, is people that have no balance in their lives. Balance is defined as stability, steadiness, and equilibrium.

When we speak of a person having a balanced life we mean that person has a since of stability in every area of their life. In the book the “Power of Focus” by Jack canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, they defined a balanced life as having “work that you love that gives you excellent financial return and allows you to have significant time off to pursue your other interest.”

For many of us if that is the definition of a balanced life then we would be quick to say we have a ways to go. However, the first factor to having a balanced life is to understand the reason why you don’t currently have the balance you desire. Nothing comes into your life without a mental invitation. The Law of Attraction says that like attracts like. Your lack of balance is not something that started a day ago or even a month ago. For your life to reach a state of being unhealthy and unbalanced it has been a process. The lack of balanced always starts with the careless decisions that you make that turn out in the long run to be unhealthy for you spiritually, socially, financially, and relationally.

When I speak of mental invitations I’m referring mostly to our non-deliberate attractions. Any thought that you have that is accompanied with strong emotions becomes an unalterable magnet that has the power to draw like situations in to your experience. When your mind is consumed with work related cares this magnet is at work making sure that you have and unbearable amount of what you have been thinking about.

Thoughts are literally regenerative in nature. The more you think about a particular subject or matter the more thoughts you will attract. The more you think about work the more work you will have to think about. If you are passive when it comes to your mind and thoughts you will find yourself in a state of being unhealthy & unbalanced very often. An unbalanced life is simply the outward manifestation of unbalanced thinking. Long before a person’s outward life shows up as being noticeably unbalance their thoughts have long been contaminated.

Since it is the mind that leads us to a state of being unbalanced we must first seek to regain a mental state of balance before we try to change individual habits. The attempt to change habits without first having a firmness of purpose in the mind is a futile attempt. We must remember that habits are only the products of thoughts. If we try to change the habit without changing the thoughts we will be fighting a losing battle. If you desire a different result you have to first develop a different way of thinking which leads to new habits.

The solution here is to use the Law of Contrast to become very clear in your mind about what you do not want. If you desire balance it is necessary that you first establish in your mind what balance would look like verses what you are currently experiencing.

What you have Vs What you want

Long hours. Vs Shorter Work days.

No time at home with family. Vs Quality time With Family.

Leaving home before daylight. Vs Sleeping in from time to time.

Coming home late. Vs Flexible Hours.

No vacations. Vs Vacations.

No Social life. Vs Time for Friends.

When you’re working with the law of attraction remember you get what you think about with strong emotions weather deliberately or non-deliberately. The more you focus on long hours the more jobs you will attract that require long hours. When you get down on yourself and start feeling guilty about not being able to spend time with your family you are then sending out a negative vibration. What this does is cause you to land in a position that calls for you to miss more time with your family.

Balance comes when we begin to focus on what we want and not on what we don’t want. If you truly desire to have shorter work days, to spend quality time with family etc then these need to be the thoughts that you are constantly mulling over in your mind. When you do this and can muster up strong emotions with those thoughts you have just set yourself on a mental path to regaining balance. You will see other start asking to help you with work you normally have to do yourself. You will find yourself being more productive and finishing projects weeks ahead of schedule. You may even find yourself landing a better job that offers you what you have only imagined!

What you do with this extra time is yet another self-discipline that you have to master. We say we want what we want, but when the Law of Attraction delivers it will we have the mental alertness to do what we need to do.

Remember, you deserve to have fun! Life is meant to be lived up close and in living color, not from in front of a 42 inch plasma TV. Creating balance demands change! That change starts with changing the way you prioritize, what is most important to you. Get that piece straight and allow the Law of Attraction to do the rest.

Summary:

1. A Balanced life – that means that person has a since of stability in every area of their life.

2. We invite our unhealthy & unbalanced lifestyle.

3. An unbalanced life is simply the outward manifestation of unbalanced thinking.

4. A balanced thought life must be gained first.

Use the Law of Contrast to become very clear about what you do not want.

5. Balance comes when we begin to focus on what we want.

6. Correct thinking &The Law of Attraction delivers balance, be discipline to keep it.

Law of Attraction: What’s Wrong With Big Dreams?

August 9th, 2009 at 12:41am Under copyright law

Copyright (c) 2008 Rebecca Hanson

Recently, a student phoned to ask me this question, “What’s wrong with having big dreams?”

“Nothing,” I replied. “Why do you ask?”

“Well, my friends are all telling me my dreams are impossible and I just want to know if I can attract them into my life.”

“Tell me,” I asked, “what are these big dreams?”

“I want to win the lottery, inherit a lot of money or find a rich man,” was her quick response.

“Oh, you want to be ‘rescued’,” I observed.

“No, I’m not that way. I don’t need to be rescued.” Her voice faltered over the word “rescued.”

“No?” I replied. “Listen to what you just told me. You said your big dreams were to: win the lottery, inherit a lot of money, and find a rich man. Which one is not being rescued?”

My student was quiet for a few moments as the realization sunk in deeper that she had been looking for an answer outside herself — a rescuer.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming big dreams like:

–I want to become a millionaire

–I want to own a nation-wide chain of restaurants (or auto parts stores).

–I want to be a famous author.

Each of these dreams can come true, if you are willing to do the foot-work. To be a famous author, you must write a book. To own a nation-wide chain of anything, you must begin with one and learn the industry well. To become a millionaire, you must know what you enjoy doing and do it well, noticing each opportunity the Law of Attraction brings your way as you climb the “stairway to heaven.”

Now, you may be wondering if there is a difference between old-fashioned hard work and using Law of Attraction if you still have to do the work. Good question!

You have been born for a purpose. There’s a reason you have shown up on earth at this time. The Law of Attraction helps you recognize just what that purpose is by letting you experience “contrast”. Contrast teaches you what is not in alignment with your purposes while letting you experience “excitement, joy and fulfillment,” all of which teach you what is in alignment with your purpose in this life time. As you follow your heart’s desires, you develop into the person you were born to be.

Every desire, every dream, every imagination of who you could be and what you could do comes with its own unique blueprint. This blueprint includes the lessons to be learned along the way to becoming “a millionaire”, a “famous author”, or anything else you want to become. The blueprint also knows the timing of events that must occur for you to recognize your purposes and achieve them.

Last summer, I received a great lesson in timing and development. It happened about two months after I moved into my new condo. The developer began landscaping the ground between my condo and the one next to mine. Every morning I sat by my living room window to watch the progress. First they brought in big machinery to scrape away the dirt which had been covering up a cement tunnel connecting the two underground parking lots. Once the cement was exposed and cleaned thoroughly, a layer of tar was applied. Next, a crew of men applied a layer of tar paper, followed by strips of something that looked like asphalt shingles on a big roll. On top of the asphalt shingles the men spread a layer of gravel and finally they laid down rubber strips. THEN the developer began the task of bringing in the dirt, followed by trees and shrubs and grass. It took over a month to complete this piece of landscaping.

Did the landscaper who designed the layout of this piece of earth have a dream, a vision? Yes she did! What would have happened if she had taken a shortcut and left out one of these steps? More than likely, the underground parking lots would now be underground streams of running water. Everything that might have been planted above the parking lots would need to be removed and the whole process done properly. The cost to remediate (fix) the shortcut would have more than doubled the cost of doing it right the first time.

Are you starting to get the picture?

Yes, dream big. Discover what you truly love to do. Learn everything about it. Practice doing it until you can do it with your eyes closed. Expect the Law of Attraction to guide you to and through each lesson you need to learn so you CAN be the millionaire, the famous author or whatever you came forth to be and do. The Law of Attraction will make your journey to the top as easy as possible; and it will make sure you receive all the financial, physical, emotional and mental support you need as you grow and develop. It must do so, it is the Law.

If you have been focusing on being rescued, as my student was, take a few moments to write down what you’d use the million dollars for. What would you do with an inheritance? What if you had all the financial security (assurance) you needed–what would you do? Who would you be? Start your answer with something like, “If I had my way, I’d be doing…” or, “If I had my way, I’d become…” Your answer is a clue to your purpose on earth. Write it down. Keep it in your line of vision. Be willing to do the work and the work will be meaningful and fulfilling.
