The Law of Attraction

So what is The Law of Attraction?

This Universal Law – the Law of Attraction says this: What we focus on we bring into our existence. So, if you are focused on the lack of money in your bank account – then lack is what you will continue to experience! However if you are focused on your abundant finances then this is what you will be experiencing.

The law states that what you think about you bring into reality.

The law responds to your thoughts, no matter what they might be. The law says that like attracts like, so as you think a particular thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you.

Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experienced.

Until now – now you have the choice to change things in your reality.

Remember your current thoughts are creating your future life.

There is one more piece to this and that is your thoughts also rule your feelings; so if you feel fantastic it is very difficult to think depressing thoughts. And visa-versa notice what happens when your thoughts take a nose-dive – you feel awful and your physiology will mirror this too of course. So by holding your body in a good energetic way, feeling good you are more likely to produce positive thoughts. By taking control of your thoughts in a positive way, you keep feeling great and are in the optimum position to produce the results you want.

You want to become in tune with what you are feeling at all times.

There are three easy steps to using the law of attraction:

Step 1: Ask
Step 2: Believe
Step 3: Receive

Step 1: this is like making your order with the universe; and here you need to be specific. Because you will get exactly what you ask for! If you’re not clear, you will be sending out a mixed frequency and you can only get mixed results.
You only need to ask once. You don’t place an order with a catalogue, doubt in it and place the order again do you?

Step 2: you must believe that you have received; you must have complete and utter faith – if you had placed an order with a catalogue you would relax knowing your order was placed and get on with your life.This involves acting, speaking, and thinking as though you have already received what you have asked for.

Step 3: receiving involves feeling the way you will feel once your desire has manifested. Feeling good now puts you on the frequency of what you want.

All this comes from the Law of Attraction teachings and via 'The Secret' of course - for me there is much more to it....

I will post my thoughts next!

Work/Life Balance

So, just what is Work/Life Balance? Just recently I have met a few people who have made themselves physically ill due to stress, overwhelm and long working hours. And although I am aware that it is important to focus on your business, take lots of action, drive yourself forwards in an energetic way - one must still remember why you are doing all this! A balanced lifestyle surely?

So, here are some simple tips to move you towards balance:

• Plan your holidays, short breaks, days off before anything else.
• Get them on the planner, in the diary and stick to them.
• Aim to work harder for short bursts at a time, rather than long drawn out 'medium energy days' - this can result in you never taking a break at all!! Speaking from previous experience!
• Reward yourself at the end of every week, look back at what you've achieved and celebrate.
• Look after your body - would you take a long drive in your car without petrol or oil and expect it to get them without breaking down?
• Drink lots of water, eat light health snacks, and good quality home-cooked meals.
• Learn to switch off at the end of each day - write down everything you need to remember for the next day, so you can forget about it!

So, let's keep ourselves in tip top condition so we can best serve the people around us.

Goal Setting for 2010

So here are some easy steps to how you can plan yourself into the new year!

Step 1: Get in touch with your true passion in life; make sure you are doing what you love and what means the most to you. Once you are doing this your motivation will be very high to move forwards.

Step 2: Start with the end in mind. Think about where you ultimately want to be in say 5 or 10 years time, what’s the BIG plan? Write 3 or 4 pages of how your life will be in the future and get really clear about what it is you want (write in present tense as if you have already achieved it).

Step 3: Next write down all the things you really want to achieve this year and select the top 10 that mean the most to you (making sure they fit in with your future vision of course).

Step 4: Write each goal out making sure it is spesific, consise, short and to the point. Write it in the present tense as if you have already achieved it, and put a date in there of when you will achieve it.

Step 5: Get into action. For each goal write a list of everything you can think of that you would need to do to take you from where you are today, to achieving that goal. (This is best done on a spreadsheet where you can move the lines around).

Step 6: Prioritise - put each list in order of what you will need to do first. (For example if your goal is to have a new website launched in July – then you might need to: find a designer/s, get quotes, do some planning, write the content, hand over the content to the designer, proof, etc. Now you might really enjoy writing the content, but by the time you’ve spent a few weeks doing this, then you look for a designer and they are all booked up, you have not been forward thinking, or using your time effectively).

Step 7: Commit to your plan and put your actions into your diary or planning system, stating when you will achieve each small step.

Step 8: Use visualisation techniques to keep you connected and motivated towards your goals.

Step 9: Get support - find someone to keep you accountable, either a professional (coach, mentor etc) or a work colleague. Once you have told people about your goals, then can help you keep on top on each small step you take.

Step 10: Celebrate each step. It’s all too easy to forget this part! It is so important to celebrate each step that you take on your journey in life, this will really help you to stay focused and motivated.

So, I hope you’ve found this useful! Get going and plan this to be the best year ever!! Don't forget if you would like my Free E-book on the same title with much more detail then go to the home page of the website:

Review of 2009

I thought I'd include this as a reminder of my last newsletter subject. This is such an important thing to do in terms of your learning, growing and of course improving things for 2010!!

So, the thoughts I gave you were:

What were all the successes you had?
What were the high-lights?
What did you do really well?
What did you learn?
What will you do differently next year?

When I was doing this I went through this one bit at a time, really considering each ares, what were all the successes I had? Then narrowed it down to the highlights - exciting stuff... then acknowledged myself what I did really well. The next question sometimes proves harder to get the answers to, that's o.k. just allow some time to let them come. Then write down everything that comes into your mind.

And last, but not least - what will you do differently this year? Without this question it will be difficult to move yourself forwards. Make a list of about 5 core things you commit to doing differently and plan how you will go about accomplishing them.

And now of course celebrate all those successes!!!

Get Positive!

How to bring Positivity into your life

• Are you a glass half empty, or a glass half full person?
• Do you see the potential in every situation, or just the negative?
• Do you focus on what you have achieved, or what you haven’t?

• How do you change things if you have discovered you are a glass half empty person? How can you radically change things for your future? Well committing to start right now this minute, is the best way forwards.
• And if you do, how might this affect what you are doing?

• Does it really make a difference if you are a positive or negative person?

• A person who always sees the negative in the situation, could be seen to ‘be looking out for’, or ‘protecting’ or ‘being aware of the potential danger’ in any situation. Is it a matter of perception?

• But if what you focus on is what you get; how would this actually help?

• What could happen if you focused on the positive in every situation? Might you just get the great future you want?

So how can you make these changes?


5 Tips to Getting Positivity in your life:

1. Gratitude – being grateful every day for the things you do have. If you’ve seen The Secret, then you will know about the Gratitude rock story, and if you haven’t I’d recommend getting on Amazon and ordering it!
2. Language – this is so important, change your vocabulary and increase the use of positive words.
3. Meaning – look for the opposite meaning in all ‘negative’ events. I.e. you lose your job; isn’t it great you now have the opportunity to start a new career. If it’s the perfect job you lost; well isn’t it great you now have the chance to widen your knowledge and learn new skills which will make you an expert in more than one field. If you have huge obstacles in your way, get excited because this could mean by overcoming them you are closer to achieving your goals. Obstacles indicate movement; so no challenges could mean you are not moving forwards! Help others to so the same (although this can prove difficult).
4. Direction – looking forwards not backwards. What plans do you have for your life, how many goals have you set; where are you planning on being in 5 years’ time? Focus on where you want and plan to be with your life. Start with today and work forwards. If you spend your life looking over your shoulder, will you get where you want to be?
5. Inspiration – surround yourself by inspiring books, CD’s, articles and mix with like-minded people. Your immediate environment will determine you current experience of life.

Social Networking

I know this has been quite the ‘buzz’ subject over the past few months, some people ascribing enthusiastically and others somewhat hesitant to say the least!

I would like to challenge you now, if you haven’t already, to really step up here and join in! You could be in danger of having fun, connecting with great new people and getting customers!!

Here are some questions for you:

• Do you really want to move your business forwards?
• Are you willing to learn new skills?
• How important is it for you to build new relationships and find new customers?

Surely, it’s therefore very important for us to keep up with the times and if we don’t know how to do it, find out!! There are plenty of people out there you can talk to, me for a start!

Here are some great advantages to social networking:

• Most of it is FREE!
• You don’t need to leave the office!
• You can connect with people all over the world, not just your local area!
• Once mastered it can take up as little at 10/15 mins per day!
• It’s fun!

So what is not to like?

O.K. so the next step to ask yourself is:

• What do I join and how many do I sign up for?
• What do I want to get out of this?
• How long each day am I prepared to get involved?

The last one is very important, for this to work you have to maintain contact regularly. You are building trust with your followers, credibility, and ultimately friendships. Because as we know people buy people; go ahead and get involved now!

I am in the process of shooting some short videos which back this up and start giving you some ideas how to get started. And I will let you know as soon as they are live...!

Remember small steps but like the tortoise you will build a great following if you just do a little bit every day.

Watch out for more videos on all subject of running your business, especially if you are a new business or you work from home!!

Good luck & have fun!
