The Law of Attraction Doesn't Work

"I tried using The Law of Attraction to grow my business but it just doesn't work" I have heard this several times lately.People seem to be somewhat confused about how if works. There are several reasons why the law of attraction may seem like it isn't working.

1. I often find with clients that they are not really clear about their goals and the direction their business is headed. It is typical of entrepreneurs to bounce around from one idea to another. Trust me I have been there. :-) In order to be attractive you must be able to focus and you must have a clear vision.

I suggest spending some time really working on this. Take an hour or so each day and spend time meditating, taking walks in nature, or simply writing down everything you want to achieve in your business and your personal life.
Until you are really clear about what you want you are right, The Law of Attraction will not work for you.

2. Does it feel good? When you think about your goal to you get all excited with the anticipation of the achievement. If not something is missing. Make sure the goal is your goal, not your spouse's or your mother's or your father's goal. Make sure you are not being swayed by peer pressure and all of the should's in life. Your desire can only be yours. You'll know your goal is authentic when you feel giddy and excited and cannot stop talking or thinking about your goal.

3. Deep down do you really believe that you can achieve this goal? Now this is where I think most people get shut down. Maybe you were all excited in the beginning but then someone said something and you began to second guess yourself. Or maybe you just get scared. It happens.

We are exposed to so much information on the internet these days and for many it can be overwhelming. Do you ever compare your business to someone else's? Maybe there is a business that is much like yours but they appear to be doing much better than you are. Before you know it you are believing that you can't succeed in this business so you look for another way.

If you want the Law of Attraction to work you have to be clear and confident about what you want. You have to believe you deserve what you want.
