Here’s another example of how powerful our intentions are, and how we really attract the people and circumstances that come into our life.

This one has to do with my financial services business.  Without going into long details about it, I had a client in the past, and when I switched firms I was representing in the investment field, I didn’t want to contact him because of the potential conflict with the non-compete clause.  It’s 2 years, and for a variety of reasons, this particular client was involved with me and another representative who stayed with the other firm and so I wanted to wait the 2 years before approaching him, because I know that the other financial adviser could create unnecessary challenges for me.

This month marks my 2 year anniversary since switching, so I had this guy on my list to call in the next couple of weeks.  He was one of my biggest clients in the past, and I was the one that he trusted with his investments.

Last week I was telling my wife that I will be approaching him, now that my 2 years are up, and that I know he will be more than thrilled, because I know he liked the way I set up his accounts before, and today I have much more options than I had before, which is the reason I switched firms.  Knowing his situation and the way the stock market is right now, these options would be much better for him and he at least needs to know about them.

I haven’t spoken to this guy in over 2 years.  Today Read the rest of this entry »

At times we all feel frustrated, trying to find a solution to a pressing issue.  Information and ideas are all around us.  And all we need to do is learn how to tap into them.  The most critical step in the attraction process, is to allow whatever you’re want to have, to come your way.

Allowing is not trying harder and getting frustrated.  Doing that actually blocks the energy flow, and puts up resistance.  So instead of attracting it, you’re actually repelling.

Whenever I’m faced with an issue, and I need to get answers on how to do that or the other, I immediately remind myself that my subconscious mind knows how to get the answer.  There’s a perfect solution to my issue, and I need to set the intention to get it, and then simply allow it to come my way.

What I like to do is Read the rest of this entry »

Here are 9 things you can do to market your business right now:
(Depending on your business some may or may not be applicable)

1. Join a business networking organization, like BNI or LBN, you can find a local chapter by googling it. (You can also start your own chapter of these organizations)

2. Join your local Chamber of Commerce.

3. Joint Venture with other business owners. If your business is local, then find a local business that’s not in direct competition with you, but serves the same market.

Here’s an example. We have a local restaurant that my wife and I go to all the time. They have a special, when you order 2 entrees and drinks, they include 2 movie tickets to a nearby movie theater, no restrictions on the tickets. Brilliant!

Over the years that I’ve spent in the financial services, I’ve heard numerous people talk about how you should spend less than you make.   And that’s the thought process they taught their clients as well.

Seems like it makes sense, until you stop and think what you’re really doing.  You’re telling yourself that what you’re making is it, and that you should settle for less by cutting your expenses.

Now, I’m not saying you should waste money without giving it any thought.  Having a plan and sticking with it is critical to accomplishing your financial goals.

However, if you think about cutting expenses, then this is your focus, and that’s the energy that you’re putting out.

Why not do the opposite.  Instead of Read the rest of this entry »

When you expect abundance, it comes your way.  Today I walked into a coffee shop to meet with a friend there to discuss some business ideas.

They were pretty busy and people were waiting a few minutes to get their lattes.  All I wanted was a small cup of coffee, and right before it was my turn to order, the guy behind the counter picked up a cup and asked “Who had the small coffee?”  No one answered, he asked again and got no response.  He then asked me what I was going to order, and I told him that that’s exactly what I wanted, a small coffee.  He smiled and didn’t even charge me for the coffee.

Coincidence?

Maybe, but it happens a lot when you look at the world as abundant and expect abundance to come your way.

A cup of coffee may not seem as a symbol of abundance, but the fact that I didn’t wait for it, and didn’t pay for it, is.

When you start noticing and acknowledging these things, more of these things happen, in your family life, your health, relationship, and business.  It’s all connected.

I firmly believe that if you want something really bad, and visualize it as if you already have it, you will.

My wife and I love to travel. This is one of the things that gives me great motivation and excitement.

Every Sunday morning, if possible, I watch the Travel Channel with the different places to vacation. And one of the most exciting programs for me is whenever they show the top beaches in the world.

Years ago I saw the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, Hawaii as being in the top 10 hot spots in the world. They also showed the Waikiki Beach in Honolulu as one of the top 10 beaches in the world.

Whenever I see something that I like, I cut out pictures and put them on my dream board. I suggest you do the same.

I know some people think it’s childish, but it’s not. There’s a whole science behind this action. By surrounding yourself with the images of the things you want, the energy shifts and you are in the manifestation process.

You can also put up images on your computer, set them as a background on your desktop, put up pictures on your refrigerator, in your car. I’ve even seen someone make a pillowcase with an image of their dream home.

Sounds silly, but again, what’s important here, is that you create a positive feeling and pay attention to the thing that you want.

Here’s a picture that I saved from the Travel Channel’s website, years ago and looked at pretty often.

6 years ago, Read the rest of this entry »

There are certain truths behind wealth attraction process that we all need to understand.

One of those truths is that if you look negatively at selling and promoting you’re actually repelling money.

The energy that you put behind how you view salespeople, businesses, and someone trying to sell you something is EXACTLY what you attract.

Here’s a vivid example of someone who obviously views selling and promoting as something negative.

I got an email from Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon.  Actually it’s not really a phenomenon when you understand the science behind the Law of Attraction, but it’s amazing how it works.

Since everything is energy, and we attract into our lives the things, situations, and people that are in harmony with the energy that we send out, then it would explain why I get more business at certain times of the day.

In tune with what I posted yesterday about having a strong guarantee with your offer, I had an incident very recently that I’d like to share with you.

I purchased an information product online about getting business credit without using your personal credit.  I was looking for the information they were advertising they had and they also offered a 30 day money back guarantee.

Now, I don’t believe in returning products unless I find them completely useless and not what I was looking for.  The information was good, but they didn’t have what I was looking for, and the thing that was specifically pointed out in their copy on the site wasn’t really provided the way they advertised.  Other than that the product was good, just didn’t meet what I needed. 

This product is $370 plus $29 shipping, so after going through everything, I contacted the company and asked for a refund telling them why it didn’t meet what I was looking for.

They proceeded to tell me Read the rest of this entry »

One of the most important aspects of communicating your message in print is having a good copy or a sales letter.

Any advertisement, classified ad, magazine ad, direct mail sales letter, a website that sells your product, can all be summed up as copy.  And being a good copywriter is the single most important skill you can develop if your business is going to depend on communicating your marketing message in print on the internet.  You don’t have to become a good copywriter you can also hire one to write your ads, but someone will have to do it.

Having a good product, a simple explanation, and a price is not always good enough, especially if you’re selling a service, an information product, or an expensive item.

Copywriting is Read the rest of this entry »
