The Law of Attraction says that energy of a certain quality
or vibration magnetically attracts energy of a similar
quality and vibration.
If we're stuck in a whirlpool of fear, we'll magnetically
attract more words, feelings, thoughts and activities that
resonate at a consciousness of "fear." A self-fulfilling
prophecy of doom is really just the inability to launch
ourselves out of the negative maelstrom caused by our
own thinking.
As business owners, I'm sure we've all felt those tugs
into fearfulness, where the question of the day (or hour)
always starts with, "What if...?" What if I don't make
enough money to cover the office rent? What if no clients call this month? What if my advertising gets no
response? And on and on.
If we let the "what if's" take over, we can find
ourselves making unwise and unprofitable business
decisions that actually make things worse, not better.
How many times in the past have we lowered prices,
hoping to bring in new business? Or cancelled an
advertisement, thinking we'd save a few marketing
dollars. Lowering prices actually gives people the message that our services probably weren't worth the money in the first place. And disappearing ads make it look like we're going out of business.
Are these the messages we really wish to communicate
to prospective clients? Yet, we've all seen it happen,
when business owners allow themselves to make
important decisions while temporarily stuck in a consciousness of fear.
So, how can we get out of - and stay out of - these
lower states of consciousness?
In "
The Abundance Book," John Randolph Price
suggests 6 steps for cultivating our energy field daily in
order to harvest money. We can "condition" our
consciousness for business success in much the same
way.
Number one on the list is meditation. In his book, Price
gives statements on which to meditate daily, each of
which has the effect of raising one's consciousness regarding money. We can do the same thing about
any and all aspects of our business.
I personally like the energy of
Florence Scovel Shinn's
words, such as: "I am awake to my good, and gather in the harvest of endless opportunities." Meditate on
that for a few days, with paper and pen close by... and see what new business ideas stream forth.
Price also advocates controlled visualization, intense
love, joyful thanksgiving, verbal harmlessness and right
action as steps we can all take to free ourselves from
beliefs of lack and limitation.
I'm sure we all have our favorite methods for "conditioning our consciousness." The trick is to keep
doing what works on a regular basis, to maintain
ourselves in that higher vibration, and avoid sliding back
into old patterns of fear and anxiety.
If you've been reading my newsletter for any length
of time, you'll know I frequently refer to an e-book called
"
The Classic Seed Money in Action." This little e-book
teaches one of the best "right actions" I've come across
for raising my consciousness about money... and every
time I remember to put it into action, I seem to attract new,
improved financial circumstances in both my personal and
business affairs.
What ideas have you tried that work for you in conditioning
your consciousness for business and financial success?
