Tourist Attraction Secret

Teasing Women to Create Attraction

2007-12-26T21:16:00.000-08:00

I was at a local bar here earlier today just watching guys walk up and talk to women. I find in funny and sad at the same time to watch guys endlessly walk up to beautiful women and get shot down immediately.

Its usually the same thing every time... the guy walks up close to the girl he likes... so close that there is no other possible reason he could be there but to talk to the girl. He stands next to her pretending that he doesn't want to talk to her while every once in a while glancing at her hoping she might say something to him.

What ends up happening every time is that the guy either finally builds up the courage to say something or gets overcome by fear and walks away pretending like he walked over to her to do something other than talk to her. Before we even talk about what he says to her, let's look a little bit at what he just did. Its very obvious when a guy walks up to a girl that he wants to talk to her. So, when he acts really anxious to be standing somewhere for no reason, the girl knows exactly what he's doing.

She's probably thinking in her head, "Oh no... not another one of THESE guys."

Why? Think about what this guy is doing. He's walking up like he's scared of this little girl and pretending for an extended period of time that he's not there to talk to her in a way that makes it obvious that he's there to talk to her.

And not only that, he's not the first one that did it today. He's not the first one to do it THIS HOUR. Hot girls in bars and clubs have waiting lines of loser guys who try to pretend they aren't interested in women in a way that shows that they are overly interested in them.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

And what makes it even worse is when these guys say something to these girls. Have you ever tried to use one of these lines...

"Hey, do you know what time it is?"

"I just wanted to tell you that... you're beautiful"

"I like your outfit"

"Can I buy you a drink?"

You know, maybe your mom or a girl who isn't very good looking and doesn't get guys who approach her would really like you to come up and say something like that to her. But, rest assured, those four lines were said to this girl probably 10 times each already in the last day or two(I've watched it).

And Guess what... when you say something like that to a girl... when you walk up and act nervous and scared to talk to her... you're just like EVERY OTHER GUY that has talked to her all night long.
Tip! The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything vibrates and every vibration affects all other vibrations. I like the way Abraham-Hicks put it: 'Everything vibrates and is communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things.

You NEED to do something different when you talk to girls. Especially when you talk to HOT girls.

The answer?

Tease her. Teasing girls says so many good things about you. It says that you:

1) Aren't like every other guy in here

2) Aren't overly impressed by her looks

3) Have a sense of humor

4) Are a challenge to her

These are all great traits to have. In addition to being this extremely attractive guy by teasing women, you also weed out women who are insecure. You win in every direction.

So, let's talk a little bit about what teasing comments are. When you tease someone, you give them something and then take it away. For instance, strippers tease you by showing their bodies, making you give them money and then put their clothes back on. It's a total tease.

Well, you can do the exact same thing with a comment. Instead of being just like all the other guys out there and validating women everywhere you go, you can start to tease them.

Here are a few stock comments you can make show you're a completely different guy than most and create engaging conversation...

If you see a girl with a bright colored jacket, say,

"I like your jacket... the 80s look does well for you."
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

When you see a girl with those trendy furry boots on, ask her,

"I really like your boots... did you mean to dress up like Chewbacca tonight?"

When you see a girl with one of those trendy jackets that cut off right above her breasts, ask her,

"Hey, I like your jacket but I feel sorry for the midget you stole it from. He's probably cold now!"

Look at a girl's watch and say,

"That's an awesome watch, my little sister has that exact same one... but her's is pink."

In these teasing comments, we give the girl a compliment and then immediately take it away.

The key to saying something like this is to have a slight smile on your face when you do it. Its all about having a sarcastic, yet funny delivery to it.

It also has to have some playfulness to it. You don't want to look like you're insulting the girl. Most girls understand exactly what you're doing and would LOVE to play along with little comments like this.

If the girl teases you back, ask her if she wants to go outside and fight(keep smiling). If you tease a girl enough, you've eventually start coming up with your own teasing comments that will have women attracted to you.

Go out and try it. You can be like every other guy out there and stand next to a girl for five minutes kicking yourself while trying to think of an original thing to say to a woman. Or, you can immediately walk up with a smile on your face, differentiate yourself from every other guy out there and say something that get her chasing after you.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

I know it's a hard decision. You can be an overly nice guy, chase women who aren't interested in you for the rest of your life and have women walk all over you or you could immediately be challenging, show some back bone and get women chasing you.

You can be one of the 100 "nice guys" who get a fake number from her this week... or you can be the guy who she chases after, calls all the time and wants to have an intimate relationship with.

The key word... TEASE

The next time you go in to kiss a girl, tease her by getting very close to her lips like you're about to kiss her and then lean back away from her and smile.

Tease women whenever you get the chance because it will drive them wild. If you become another boring, predictable guy, you'll lose... every time.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

When you understand attraction and how to build it with women, your dating life will change forever. You won't ever have to "settle" for women you don't want and you'll start having all the options that you want with women.

You can easily learn how to go from making that first approach with a woman to, kissing her, getting her number and getting her back home with you. The great thing about it is that you can get this information immediately and learn all of the secrets that took me years of researching, trial and error, and lots of lonely nights to figure out.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

Creating Attraction with Women in a Relaxed Environment

2007-12-26T21:14:00.000-08:00

I've talked to several people recently who feel like their results in meeting women aren't where they'd like to be because of how much anxiety they are feeling with talking to women. They still aren't comfortable with it and are having lots of anxiety when they go to bars and clubs.

So, one of the suggestions I've had for them that I believe could also possibly help you out is to MAKE IT EASIER ON YOURSELF. That's right... if you're always trying to develop your habits of being attractive to women in high stress environments, it may be a little too overwhelming. Here's one of my suggestions to them and I think it may help you out as well. Go somewhere that you make "forced friends."

Forced friends are people who you see a lot and, by default, end up becoming friends with you because... they have to see you and interact with you a lot.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

Places where you usually can develop forced friends are classes, work, and activity clubs(book clubs etc.).

The second requirement to make this work is that the place you go to has to have a good ratio of women to men.

So, where do these places exist? Actually, there are plenty of them around. There's probably a lot more than you realize.

Most of them just aren't exactly things that all guys want to go do. You could join yoga classes, cooking classes, go to colleges, join activism groups that have lots of females in them, and a lot of other things.

But, the ABSOLUTE best places to go for this type of thing is dance classes. And the BEST types of dance classes to go to are swing and salsa.

There are so many good things that come from learning how to dance and going to dance classes that even if you don't need to make it easier on yourself, you still need to go to these places.
Tip! The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything vibrates and every vibration affects all other vibrations. I like the way Abraham-Hicks put it: 'Everything vibrates and is communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things.

What's so great about these classes? Well, let's see... first off, there's always WAY more girls than guys. Most of the guys are there because of how easy it is to meet women there and are typically pretty bad at socializing with anyone. So, if you have any ability at being a cool guy at all, to the girls there you'll be like a really shiny object to someone with severe ADD.

Secondly, there's lots of physical contact. You have a great excuse to touch girls and get used to touching them(and get them used to you touching them).

Third, you learn how to lead women to do what you want them to. You become a leader by default. Its great practice to develop the habit of leading girls in the direction that you want to lead them.

Lastly, you have a totally legitimate excuse to walk up and talk to them. You're both there to dance, what could possibly be an easier approach than that?

There couldn't possibly be a better place to develop the habits of socializing and creating attraction with women than these places. And if you go to a class, they usually have you rotate around to everyone in the class so you HAVE to meet just about EVERY girl there. Then, it won't be nearly as awkward when you walk up and talk to them.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

I've dated several women from social swing and salsa dances and many of them are more interesting and fun than the girls you meet in bars and clubs. Personally, I don't think there's a better commitment that you could make other than right now deciding that you're going to sign up for the next salsa or swing group dance class that is available.

Go to the dance classes, get used to being around women and develop the habits of creating attraction with women in an environment that makes it a lot easier. You'll be thanking me once you do.

Traffic Attraction by Submitting Articles Actually Works

2007-12-26T21:13:00.002-08:00

Links are one of the key seo components and can generate good website traffic. Linking in general is one of the most double-edged tools since bad "links" might decrease your page-rank and good links will undeniably polish it and hopefully boost your hit-rate.

Unsure of what bad and good links are, many seem reluctant to submit articles in order to distribute links to their sites. Don't. Be reluctant that is. As always, all you need is to know the rules.

So, what are the worries?

* Google penalizes multiple content
* Bad links decimate your pagerank

- The notion that Google penalizes multiple content is not based on fact. Even Google themselves point to the fact that what they penalize is multiple instances of identical content on the same site. No worries then.

- That bad links decimate your page rank is fact. A bad link can be defined as one that has a lower page-rank than your own. Page-rank is affected by other factors too, but high page-rank links is one of the most important.

Still, the number of links is also important. - If you have few links, 5 of lower page-rank will downrate your own rank. - If you mass on reciprocal links (you get a link if they get a link on your site) you rank may be negatively affected since these have a taste of "link farms". A bad taste in a Google mouth. - If you have 4000 links to your site chances are they will be mixed quality, which is not bad. What will affect your page-rank and site status in this case is the

* total number of links
* title and text on links
* activity of links (traffic to your site)

No worries then. As long as you have thousands of links. [NEVER pay cheap link submission services that offer to submit pure links to hundreds of sites. Those links are either trash or nonexistant. Money wasted.]

If you write a simple article of a single page about a subject that has attraction for sites that need content, you might be getting loads of traffic in no time. The formatting is important, so is the mode of including your links and what sites you submit to. Some sites are certainly better than others.

To generate a lot of traffic and get a lot of seological links you need to submit to a lot of sites (read many many many). What you need is a tool that does the job properly, quickly and has a massive amount of targeted sites it distributes your article too. There are quite a lot of submission programs and services out there. I would recommend you to steer away from the ones that offer too much, for too little. Simple organic logic :)

I personally use programs instead of submission sites since the latter give a limited amount of control and usually carry a higher accumulative cost.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

The Fatal Attraction of Online Marketers

2007-12-26T21:13:00.001-08:00

Suppose you were offered 263 links coming into your website from 263 other websites all in one fell swoop. Everybody knows that the more inbound links you have, the higher you will rise in the search engine rankings.

Suppose further that these were real links from real websites that actually sold real products and services - no cheap FFAs throwing come-ons on a street corner on the bad side of town.

Suppose further that this offer included the reciprocal linking code for all 263 sites that just had to be cut and pasted into your website. Piece of cake.

Does it get any sexier than this? Are you drooling yet? Does the sweet perfume of "ka-ching!" float around your head? Is this love at first site?

Well, no, it's actually a fatal attraction, one you had best resist. One that could infect your website with deadly communicable diseases.

I resisted this very offer not long ago, and you should resist anything similar. Here's why:

4. The link pages on these sites are essentially link farms. The more links on a page, the less value they have in a search engine's eyes, especially when you start approaching or even passing 100 links. And don't expect any direct traffic from this kind of link, either.

5. There is a technical term for identical pages within a site or on multiple sites. It is called "duplicate content", and it is strictly verboten by the search engines. Here is what Google says about them: "Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content."

6. Do some quick math. You have 289 outgoing links, 263 of them are labeled "bad neighborhood websites" by the search engines ... so bad that they might even have been banned. What do you think will happen to your rankings?

Sadly, many webmasters fall for such tantalizing come-ons without thinking carefully about what the repercussions might be.

There is a lot of truly bad advice floating around the Internet on how to trick the search engines or find a short-cut to high rankings. This is one example of how following poor advice and hopping into bed with the wrong partner could kill your business.

Here is a good rule of thumb. Two's company. Three's a crowd. Four or more will get you arrested. OK, so I just made that up, and it's not very elegant. But it will keep you from falling for that inevitable offer with the come-hither eyes and the deadly communicable disease.

Parents, Learn How to Teach Law of Attraction to Your 10-Year-Old or Your Teenager

2007-12-26T21:11:00.001-08:00

Recently, on my seven-city cross-Canada seminar tour I was asked by my Calgary sponsor if I would speak to her group, her son's group. I said yes. What I didn't know was her son's group was a group of 10-year-olds in a grade three class in Alberta.

On the way to the school, I designed my presentation. Given this was the first time I had taught Law of Attraction to non-adults, part of my NLP training (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) told me I needed to talk to the children at their level, make it fun and get them to participate.

When teaching adults, I use words like manifestation, vibrations, synchronicity, serendipity, and coincidence. So what words could I use that children would relate too? I decided to open up a conversation about vibes. What did that word mean and what were some examples of it?

The students quickly waved their hands in the air. These were some examples I heard:

(a) When my mom doesn't have her coffee, she gets negative vibes.
(b) When my parents fight in the house, I can feel negative vibes.
(c) When I see a bully at school, I feel negative vibes.
(d) Being in a scary building that's dark gives me negative vibes.

These kids clearly knew exactly what negative vibes are and they agreed having a negative vibe is not a great way to attract friends or nice people.

Next, I drew a picture of a light switch on the blackboard, showing the on and off positions. "On" meant you were negative, and "off" meant you weren't. After having the students agree it was better to be positive than negative, I asked if they wanted to learn how to turn off a negative vibe. They all excitedly said yes.

I asked them to write these three words in their notebooks; don't, not, and no, and asked for examples for when these words were used in their lives. You can bet they had quite a list to give me. Here are some examples:

(a) Don't be late.
(b) Don't get your clothes dirty.
(c) Don't beat up your brother.
(d) Don't talk with your mouth full.
(e) Don't spill your milk.
(f) Don't cry.
(g) Don't play ball in the house.
(h) Don't eat or drink at the computer.

Next, I taught them a "secret". They loved knowing I was going to give them a secret. It was my strategy to give them a secret so they would treat it as something special and really want to remember it. I told them it was a secret that even their parents might not know. And, with this secret, they could help change negative vibrations to positive ones.

The students learned that the secret to switching their vibes is when you hear yourself say or think don't, not, and no, simply say, So, what do I want? And, of course, they eagerly wrote down the answer to the secret.

They got it -- and fast! I knew they'd be going home, eagerly wanting to connect this message with their parents. So again I reminded them they had a secret, and to be gentle telling others about it. This way the next time their parents said don't, not, and no, the kids could say, "So what do you want?"

When the school day ended, the teacher, who was also present for my presentation, made one last comment to his departing class as he's been doing every Friday -- "DON'T FORGET YOUR HOMEWORK". The kids had a lot of fun with this. They quickly asked the teacher, "So what do you want?" And, of course, he said, "Remember your homework."
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

For me, this experience was very valuable. Many people have asked me to teach or write about Law of Attraction for teenagers or children, and I've always given the same answer. I don't know how because I don't have any children. But I learned that young people can pick it up very quickly. Thanks to Cheryl for trusting me to teach Law of Attraction to her 10-year-old son and his classmates.

I will be holding a free teleclass for parents who want to discuss and learn more about how to teach their kids and teens how to use Law of Attraction.

Thanksgiving: The Law of Attraction

2007-12-26T21:10:00.002-08:00

Do you follow the law of attraction?

Do you know the law of attraction?

The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction basically states that we draw into our lives more of what we focus on.

If we focus on what we do not have, we get more of what we do not have.

When we focus on all that we have and the opportunities in front of us, we attract more of the things we want, more good things, into our lives.

An example

Here is an example from the world of private practice building and marketing.

What I have learned while working with our students, members and mentees in BuidlingYourIdealPractice.com is that where you put your focus influences how well you build your practice.

If you focus on the lack of clients and the competition for them in the marketplace, you instill in yourself fear and the probability that you will stay stuck.

If you focus on the fact that there are more clients out there that need and want your unique service than you could ever get to in your entire life, you bypass fear and lack and your practice grows.

Your personal application

So how can you apply these principles in your own life and situation?

Where do you need to shift your focus from lack to abundance?

My challenge to you in this Thanksgiving season is to use the law of attraction and increase your thanksliving.

Marketing Strategies: Using the Law of Attraction to Create Your Own Unique Version of the Holidays

2007-12-26T21:10:00.001-08:00

What do you think of when you think of the Holidays?

If you're like most people the first things you think of are the long lines, the massive amounts of traffic and the over emphasis on consumerism. What if this Holiday Season, you could turn that around by creating your own unique version? What would your version be like?

Using the Law of Attraction as our model, let's explore how through the focusing of consciousness, you can magnetize more of what you desire. What would that be? Warmth, coziness, closeness of friends and family, peace and harmony?

The Law of Attraction:

The Law of Attraction is simple. There are basically 5 steps:

1. Clarify what you don't want 2. Clarify what you do want 3. Clear your beliefs 4. Create your "desire statement" 5. Allow it to come to you

Step 1:

Clarify what you don't want:

Take a piece of paper and draw a line vertically. Then an inch from the top draw a horizontal line, so you have two columns. On top of the left column, write "Don't want" . So when it comes to the Holidays, what are those for you? Some examples might be stress, confusion, exhaustion, pressure and family feuds. Write those in the left column.

Step 2:

Clarify what you do want:

On top of the right hand column, write "Do wants" Regarding the Holidays, what are those for you? Some examples might be love, harmony , peace, and joy. Write those and any others you can think of in the right column.

Step 3:

What hidden or not so hidden beliefs do you have that might get in the way of you receiving what you want? Here's some examples:

"My relatives never get along in Holiday gatherings" "The more expensive my gifts, the more approval I'll receive" "There's no way around the hustles and bustle" "Every year someone gets sick" "My income never meets my expenses during the Holidays"

When you have identified your self limiting and self sabotaging beliefs, ask yourself if you still want to hold onto them? If yes, then you'll pretty much get what you've always gotten. If you decide you're really ready to let them go. Then write a set of new beliefs that cancels out each and every one of the old ones.

For example, you could start to reprogram yourself to think that:

" I can help to facilitate the interactions between my relatives and myself"

" The only person's approval I need is my own. I'll give gifts from the heart"

" I can create my pace to be any way I want. I give myself permission to experience balance this year."

" I visualize radiant health for myself and everyone"

" I can figure out a way to raise my income or I can figure out a way to minimize my expenses. "

Once you have ridden your self of your old beliefs and created a whole new set of empowered beliefs, you are free to create your "desire statement."

Step 4:

Create your Desire Statement:
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

Now that you have more clarity about what you don't want and what you do want and you've cleared out the old beliefs, you're ready to write your Desire Statement. It's simple, just take your top 5 items of your Do Want list. Then make a statement of what it feels like to have them now.

What does it feel like to have a warm, cozy, relaxed Holiday Season that you custom designed? Write down all the emotional and physical feelings you get as you experience it happening right now. It's similar to acting "as if".

Read your Desire Statement aloud every day for at least 16 seconds. This is enough time for you to create a vibrational vortex. Remember like energy attract like energy. So you are making yourself extremely magnetic to having what you want.

Step 5:

Allow this to come to you:
Tip! The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything vibrates and every vibration affects all other vibrations. I like the way Abraham-Hicks put it: 'Everything vibrates and is communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things.

How does one "allow"? To allow you must suspend your fears and doubts. Notice you don't have to get rid of them, you just need to dis-identify from them. Keep your focus on what you want and give yourself supportive, encouraging self talk. Withdraw your energy from your fears and doubts and they will start shrinking.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

So what does it feel like to have a Holiday Season that is unique to you? Relish in the enjoyment so you are ready to roll in the New Year.

Tip: When you find yourself focusing on the negative, i.e. what you don't want, catch yourself and ask this question instead, "So what do I want?" Then focus on that.

Law of Attraction for Weight Loss: Your Secret to Dropping Unwanted Weight Once and for All!

2007-12-26T21:09:00.002-08:00

Ever notice how your best friend can lose weight on the same diet that you don't? Or how you often reach "plateaus"? The yo-yo dieting trend among frustrated women in this country is practically an epidemic!

Want to know the secret of why this happens? And how you can lose unwanted weight once and for all? Of course you do - we all do!

Sounds too good to be true, I know. But once you understand this concept, you'll never again wonder why you're not getting results on the latest diet or with your new gym membership. In fact, this secret will let you in on weight loss without breaking a sweat or refusing another Krispie Kreme.

This "secret" principle has been around for eons, but is being rediscovered across the country. People in the know are successfully putting it to work to achieve weight loss that's easily maintained! If you want to join those ranks, follow along closely.

Drum roll, now, for the secret weapon against unwanted weight: The Law of Attraction!

What is it? Simply put, the Law of Attraction is a powerful universal law that says "like attracts like." This force is at work in our lives every moment, although most are oblivious to it. Using the power of this law will allow you to create the body you want, without requiring unending weeks of blood, sweat and tears. (It also explains why we get such inconsistent results on the same programs!)

Here's how it works. Without getting too technical (although quantum physics is happy to explain), know that everything in the universe is made up of energy. Including your thoughts and feelings. And that like attracts like. This means your thoughts and feelings are energy that attract similar energy.

So basically, as you think, so you attract. You've heard phrases that intuitively reflect this understanding: "you reap what you sow," " birds of a feather flock together," etc.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

What does this have to do with weight loss? Everything, my friend. This law is actually responsible for your original weight gain and everything else in your life, believe it or not. It's time to understand this principle in order to get what you want, instead of what you don't want!

Here's a quick example to give you a feel for how it works. At 5'9" and 135 pounds for most of my life, I considered myself naturally lean. Although my European aunts regularly told me "my day would come," I thought I would be thin for life.

When I joined the corporate world, however, things did change. I noticed women in the office bonding over weight issues. They advised each other on fat grams in each other's lunches, they swapped low fat recipes, shopped together for outfits that smartly concealed extra pounds, and shared exercise tips.

As a naturally lean person who could eat whatever she wanted (and did so regularly), I was soon on the outs with this crowd. All I wanted to do was fit in, so I quickly followed suit and joined their misery. I began complaining about sneaky extra pounds, and appearing cellulite. I swore off fat-packed foods and joined them in break time snacks of carrots and celery sticks.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

At first it was an act. I was thin and I knew it; I just wanted to fit in.

Strangely enough, though, I began to notice that clothes were getting tighter, and thighs getting jigglier. My complaints became much more authentic and alarming as time went on. Soon enough, I was carrying the extra pounds that every woman in the office complained of.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

This was the law of attraction in action! My thoughts attracted circumstances that matched. Because I talked about being overweight, acted overweight, and commiserated with overweight women, I soon enough found myself overweight. At the time, I just assumed my wise old aunts were right. My time had indeed come.

Several years later after unsuccessful diets and exercise programs, I discovered the Law of Attraction. I then understood that my thoughts and actions created my problem and that new thoughts and actions could create the thin thighs and flat stomach I deserved.

So I began thinking thin, and doing things I thought a lean person would do. I talked to myself and supportive friends like a perfect-weight person would (required imagination, I assure you). And I gradually curbed habits of critiquing my body and feeling hopeless about changing it.

And lo and behold -- in less time than you would believe -- there were my thin thighs and flat stomach waiting for me. Law of Attraction, folks. It's magic!
Tip! The Language of Attraction- is about our choice of language with others and especially with ourselves. It doesn't matter whether the communication is verbal, written or just a thought the quality of our language will effect the quality of our results.

Now I will say the Law of Attraction works in accordance with your beliefs. (Beliefs being nothing more than oft-repeated thoughts.) So if you believe it takes blood, sweat and tears to drop weight - then that's what you'll have to experience unless you change those beliefs.

On the other hand, if you can realign your beliefs for an easier experience, you can skip the baloney we're regularly fed about good fat/bad fat, red light/green light carbs, required aerobic & weight sessions, etc. There are plenty of women out there, though, who would happily suffer through those rules if it would just get them where they want to be!

If only they knew the key isn't food or exercise; it's thoughts and feelings. It's the energy that creates the reality. Tell your body what to expect, through aligned thoughts and feelings, and let it happen. It will soon be your reality, regardless of what your European aunts and overweight colleagues say!

Law of Attraction Resolves Diet Controversy

2007-12-26T21:09:00.001-08:00

Who'd have thought healthy eating could be so controversial? Lunching at my girlfriend's house one afternoon, I held my tongue as her neighbors who'd joined us argued the virtues of their respective diets. And not like nice girls would!

Shelli is an avid high protein diet fan, while Debra is a food combining aficionado. Clearly they were both former debate champions, as neither would give up until she'd convinced the other the error of her ways.

Conflicting Info

The fact is we often run across conflicting information when it comes to good nutrition. Low fat, no fat, good fat, high protein, vegetarian, no sugar, low carb, good carb, juice fasts, vegan, food combining, whole foods, raw foods - the list of alternative diets can be exhausting even to the initiated. In fact, 20/20's John Stossel recently reported there's no scientific proof that even drinking eight glasses of water a day is beneficial!
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

And to confuse matters even more, we don't receive consistent results on these programs. While one woman feels fantastic on Atkins, another feels sluggish. One person can thrive on a vegetarian diet, while another develops intense cravings and low energy. What's a good-intending girl to do in the face of so much conflicting information?

What Really Matters

It's simpler than it looks. There are no hard and fast rules about what's good for these bodies of ours. What determines the condition of our body - more than anything - are our beliefs, intentions, and feelings.

If you expect a certain program to help you feel better and lose weight, that's one factor on your side. If you're able to feel good about yourself and intend successful results at the same time, you've likely got a winner. That doesn't mean your sister will have the same experience, however.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

Tip the Scale in Your Favor

A little talked about, but much-experienced, universal law provides the answer to the questions about what diet works best. It turns out it isn't the diet that matters - it's what you THINK about the diet. Bottom line, it's the beliefs you have about the program and the results you expect that determine whether you'll get the body you want.

This universal law is known as the Law of Attraction, and it is all-powerful in delivering what you want.

The Law of Attraction says that "like attracts like," which also translates to "as you think, so shall it be." For example, a woman who feels fat day in and day out will have a difficult time achieving long-term results that make her feel otherwise, no matter how little she eats or how much she exercises.

However, someone who is able to consistently see herself in the body of her dreams, and feel fantastic in the skin she's in, will soon find reality conforming to her expectations - regardless of what she eats or how she exercises.

As an attraction coach specializing in helping women get the bodies they want, I find the biggest obstacle we experience in our weight loss success is the inability to focus on the end result. Invariably those who fail time and again habitually focus on what they don't want, rather than what they do. Changing this perspective is the key to creating a healthy body at a healthy weight.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

But don't tell that to my girlfriend's neighbors. They're too busy arguing over the details that don't matter!

Can I Use the Law of Attraction to Lose Weight?

2007-12-26T21:08:00.002-08:00

Some of the most popular questions I get asked by e-mail or at seminars is can I use Law of Attraction to attract more money, attract an ideal mate or to lose weight? Yes, you can use Law of Attraction to lose body weight, and I'm going to share with you my own personal journey on reducing my body weight over the past four years.

I used the Law of Attraction to attract the things I needed to do, know or have that were in alignment with my goal. Your list will likely be different than mine, but at the same time, only YOU know what YOU have to attract into your life to help YOU lose your body weight. The key is to pay attention to what you're attracting and see if it's in alignment with your desire to reduce your body weight. And if it feels good - DO IT.

Here is what I attracted and how it has helped me:

On Tour and Traveling with Sandy - First I attracted my assistant Sandy's help. In 2005, Sandy and I traveled to 65 cities to deliver seminars. Before we arrived in each city, Sandy knew where the local health-conscious grocery stores were located, our favorite being Whole Foods Market®. (We especially loved the one located near Central Park, NY). Sandy's eating habits and nutritional education has been very helpful to me and she has been totally supportive of my own newfound eating habits. Thanks Sandy.

My Daily Hiking/Running partner Geoff - Since 2002, I have been hiking in old growth forests in the west coast of Canada near my home in Victoria, BC. During the first year, Geoff and I hiked every weekend only... what a commitment that was for me! Plus for all of 2005 and so far in 2006, we have diligently hiked and/or run 6 mornings a week when I'm home. We meet at a local park at 5:30 a.m. each day and start from there on our journey and hike every morning… that's where I get all of my energy! Thanks Geoff.

I have core muscles - That was a surprise to me. My dedicated fitness trainer, Astrid spent a year with me teaching me how to use my core muscle in my hiking, running, walking and during exercises. Astrid kept me on track. I owe the core muscle training all the credit for keeping me so active - especially on my 5K running schedule. Astrid is a Medical Exercise Specialist/Nationally Certified Personal Trainer. I highly recommend her "90-Day Healthy Habit Former" Check it out at http://www.unleashingbook.com/astridevent1.htm. Thanks Astrid.

Metabolism Education - Wanting to learn more about my metabolism, I had my friend Anna Kanary www.annakanary.com provide me with some excellent information about a metabolism balancing clinic called SureSlim® www.SureSlim.ca. Learning how to balance my metabolism (without having to use drugs or pills) has dramatically decreased my body size. Thanks Anna.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

Eliminated food cravings - In 2004, my good friend Linda Storey www.everydaychoicescoaching.com, held a workshop in Victoria, BC, called "How to Use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to Eliminate Food Cravings and Habits". At that workshop I used the EFT process (it's SO simple!), to "tap away" any interest, cravings or desires I had for the following foods: french fries; bread; potato chips; soda pop; and ju jubes, and I have since yet to have indulged in any of those foods in over two years. That's why I refer to Linda Storey as the ‘Queen of Removing Food Cravings'! Contact Linda at lindastorey@shaw.ca. She can help you too! Thanks Linda.

As you can see these were the five prominent things that I attracted. There have been many, many more attractions such as watching a documentary on metabolism on television and watching a program on how to hike when you're overweight. These are all positive manifestations that are all in alignment to my desire to lose weight. If you see me on my seminar tour this year and you've seen me ‘live' before, you will definitely notice my weight loss.

Raise your vibrations around attracting everything you need to do, know or have so you too can reduce your body weight and have a happy slender body if that is one of your desires.

Michael Losier, a Law of Attraction Trainer and author, supports people in understanding and practicing the Art of Deliberate Attraction, so they can have more of what they want and less of what they don't. Michael has been applying the principles of Law of Attraction for many years and enjoys a wonderful and rewarding life in the city of Victoria, BC, Canada. He facilitates a number of in-person Law of Attraction seminars as well as Teleseminars to a worldwide audience.

The Attraction of Pigtails

2007-12-26T21:08:00.001-08:00

Very young girls wear their hair in pigtails because their mommies do their hair for them. Of course, this is because the hairstyle is easy and moms just want their little girls to look cute. When girls get older, the pigtails hairstyle is sometimes selected out of choice. This certainly goes for teenagers, but it is also true for young women as they mature into their 20's, and sometimes beyond. This begs the question, "Why?" Why do young women sometimes choose to wear their hair in pigtails?

The possible reasons for pigtails being a hairstyle of choice are many, some more obvious than others. When the weather is hot, getting the hair away from the head is a cooler way to go, and pigtails help immensely. When a girl is short on time and needs to get her hair ready in a jiffy, pigtails are quick and easy. Ladies might wear pigtails as a fashion statement. Or they might wear them because they want to look young, playful, cute, or sexy. (And yes, pigtails can be both cute and sexy at the same time.) Another possibility for pigtails is when a young lady wishes to present herself as an enigma. "Is she a good girl pretending to be bad, or a bad girl trying to look good?" And then there's the best reason for a young woman to wear pigtails: she wants to be a Pigtail Dream Girl at PigtailDreams.com! But seriously, pigtails are an attention getter, and the more mature the woman wearing pigtails, the more attention those pigtails get.

So, why do pigtails attract attention? Let's start with reasons for men liking pigtails. (OK, not all males enjoy pigtails, but most do, even if secretly.) Pigtails represent youth and, in our society, youth is attractive. As I said above, pigtails are cute and sexy, and what man doesn't enjoy a female showing off something cute and sexy? Some men fall for the enigma thing: "Why is this lady wearing pigtails? What is she up to?" Other men, myself included, see a woman in pigtails and think, "Wow, this lady is truly special." But pigtails also attract the attention of other females, who pretty much react the same way that men do, but with additional possible thoughts like, "She's such a child!", "What a slut!", or "Wow, I wish I had the guts to wear pigtails."

So, we see here that there are oodles of reasons for pigtails to be appreciated by pigtail wearers and pigtail observers alike. But I will close with what pigtails mean to me. To me, an adult female with her hair in pigtails screams confidence. This is a lady who is fun-loving, outgoing, bold, and confident. She likes what she has, but knows what else she wants, and is determined to get it. This is a woman with very high self-esteem. There are women all over the world capable of being dream girls, but it takes a truly special lady to have the confidence to be a Pigtail Dream Girl.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

Non Prescription Cats Eye Contact Lenses - Animal Attraction!

2007-12-26T21:07:00.000-08:00

Long gone are the days when a set of contact lenses were the domain of the visually impaired. These days, non prescription lenses are available to all, even if you are blessed with 20:20 vision. In fact, most of the special effects lenses available on the internet have 0.00 power, which means that they do no alter your vision at all. These types of lenses in particular, like cats eyes for example, are ideally suited for those just wanting a set of lenses to wear to the party, parade on the dance floor or just to frighten your unruly neighbours!

A cat's eye contact lens can be quite striking, especially if the color resembles your natural eye color. Your friends will notice the change, but the effect will be very subtle. Many movie or rock stars now use special fx lenses away from their place of work, purely for the cosmetic effect. And a very powerful effect it is too!

Imagine the scene at a night club, as you casually walk towards someone you would like to impress, with your eyelids down and head bowed, then raise your head, smile, and open your eyes wide right in front of them. Wow! Wouldn't that be a spectacular introduction?

Just make sure you don't ask for your drinks in a saucer ....

Taking Care of Your Eyes

========================

Despite the fact that lenses like the cat's eye effect are particularly suitable for non prescription cases, you should still take great care with them, and seek professional advice to ensure that your eyes do not suffer from improper use. If you have poor eyesight already, you may be familiar with contact lenses and be able to fit them with confidence. If however, your vision is good, how will you know how to:-

* Insert your lenses into your eyes, and later how to remove them.

* Clean your lenses properly

* Store your lenses correctly

Each of these points is critical to the long life of your lenses, but more importantly, to the continued good health of your eyes. The correct fitting of your lens is important for your own comfort, because a loose fitting lens will float away from the eye. A good fitting lens will also help avoid scratching of the cornea when you try and remove them.

And don't share your lenses with your friends. A guaranteed way to pass eye infections such as conjunctivitis and worse between you.

Placenta of Attraction

2007-12-26T21:06:00.000-08:00

In the 2004 movie, Three Extremes, Chinese actress Bai Ling raised eyebrows playing an unlicensed midwife who makes dumplings out of aborted foetus and placentas. She sold them to rich women who believed that consuming them would reverse the signs of aging.

Although Bai herself claims to be disgusted by the idea of eating placentas, there are rumours aplenty of other celebrities who do it in the hope of improving their health by regaining a youthful complexion.

Singaporean actor Andew Seow,36, for one, has been waiting for years to get his hands in a placenta. He said "I have seen people who have taken it, and I believe it works." He says he has heard stories that youthful looking Taiwanese actress Lin Ching-hsia, 53, was taught by her mother to "slice it and eat it with porridge". Then there is another un-named actress, who, after giving birth, had "super skin, a super chest and a super butt" because she is known to have eaten the organ which is "full of amino acids and proteins", he says.

Despite being vegetarian, Seow does not baulk at the thought of consuming something which, when raw, resembles a slimy, bloody liver. "A placenta", he says, "naturally comes out with the baby, if it is not used, it is just wasted."
\

Origins of Species

A placenta is an organ rich in blood vessels that develops in female mammals during pregnancy. It lines the uterine wall and partially envelopes the foetus, to which it is attached by the umbilical cord. At full term, it is about 18 cm long and 5 cm thick. It is expelled during child birth, forming part of the after birth. Its function is to transfer oxygen and nutrients from mother to the foetus. It also releases carbon dioxide and waste from the foetus through the umbilical cord to be disposed by of the mother.

Dr Peter Chew, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, says that though people have been talking about "frying, drying and eating placentas" for years, his patients rarely ask to keep theirs. He says: "Placenta are full of hormones, so theoretically, they should improve the complexion, even though there's no medical evidence to support this."

As for the possibility of dangerous side effect from consuming it, he says "there's no harm, seeing it's your own body's organ." But to be on the safe side, he recommends cooking the placenta before consumption.

Dr Douglas Ong, an obstetrician-gynaecologist, says KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) "used to have a placenta fridge whose contents were sold to cosmetic companies". KKH is unable to verify his claims but a spokesman says that if it existed, it would probably have been "a long, long time ago". Dr Ong claims the practice stopped after 'HIV and other viruses came on the scene".
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

He is uneasy about mothers consuming their placenta, terming it "borderline cannibalism". He says: "Women will go to great lengths for beauty but there are other ways to achieve good skin."

Life Force

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) experts claim the human placenta has been eaten by the Chinese for 2500 years.

Dr Low Chai Ling, a medical director at an established medical institution, says "the Chinese believe it contains "qi" (Chinese for life force) and use it as a remedy for a whole range of problems such as lethargy, rejuvenating ageing skin and promoting breast milk production".

In Singapore, human placenta from China is readily available in a dried form from Chinese medical halls.

Professor Xu Yi Jun, a physician from a renowned TCM Center, prescribes consuming 2g to 3g of powdered placenta daily to increase fertility and blood circulation and to make the body more resistant to disease.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

You can also find it commonly used in beauty salons in various forms. In a certain beauty salon in Mandarin Hotel Shopping Arcade, it offers a health tonic, facial essence and hair tonic said to contain human placenta. Another major spa chain touts its placenta facial that uses sheep placenta as "an alternative to Botox".

According to a spokesperson for the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), "placenta from both human and animal origin is currently allowed in cosmetic products". However, "dealers of eye and dental products are required to provide supporting evidence of safety". But as facial creams and face masks are considered "low risk" products, they are not subject to HSA approval.

The Food Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States classifies animal extract from organs such as placenta as potentially dangerous.

Out of 12 doctors spoke to, only two admitted to prescribing placenta extract treatments, although one does not administer injections. While most doctors avoided commenting on placenta and its supposed cosmetic merits, five, including Dr Chua Jun Jin, a consultant plastic surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Medical Center, agree that there is not enough medical evidence to show that it works.

Comparing placenta therapy to birds' nest and snake oil, Dr Chua says: "some people may swear by it, but if it was such a potent ingredient, there would be people studying it in great depth."

One doctor, who prefers to remain unnamed for fear of backlash from other doctors, admits to injecting human placenta essence by request in small quantities on the face and body. But "the patient has to bring in her own supply". He also has not seen any adverse side effect as a result. He believes the only reason the treatment is controversial is not because it is dangerous, but because "it was not taught in medical school, but simply evolved with the practice of medicine".
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

Dr Wong Yok Meng, who specialises in detoxification and preventive medicine against ageing, has been prescribing human placenta treatments for the past 10 years.

Although he says he does not inject placenta extracts directly into the body, he prescribes topical and oral human placenta extract treatments to rejuvenate the skin of his patients, most of whom are female and aged above 40.

He observes that the treatment "does not get rid of wrinkles, but helps to give skin a youthful look by smoothening fine lines and increasing cell renewal".

A month's dosage of oral placenta extract costs around S$500, while a topical solution for the face costs around S$100. Dr Wong says he has not seen any negative effects in any of his patients.

But one concern Dr Joyce Lim, a renowned dermatologist, has with the use of placenta extract in injections and medicines is that it involves "the transmission of genetic material and may cause allergies".
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

Indeed, in a case reported by Yomiuri Shubun paper last January, a Japanese woman in her 40s developed acute liver disease after being injected with human placenta essence at a Tokyo beauty center.

Perhaps, the next time before you consider consuming this unusual delicacy, do stop and think whether it is worth risking your health all in the name of beauty.

Northern Cyprus Property: What's the Attraction?

2007-12-26T21:05:00.002-08:00

Northern Cyprus. Miles of rugged natural coastline, secluded sandy coves and beautiful un-spoilt beaches, lapped by the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Framed by the peaks of the magnificent ‘Five Finger' mountain range, down into the central plains stretching between Famagusta and Nicosia, it is truly one of the last un-spoilt destinations in the Mediterranean. A haven of natural beauty, with pine clad hillsides and miles of sandy beaches making it the unique destination most people believe no longer exists. The coastline of North Cyprus offers some of the finest and safest bathing in the Mediterranean. The crystal clear waters are wonderful for swimming, snorkeling, sailing and skiing.

An ancient island, inhabited since the Stone Age, it is the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Past inhabitants have included Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Venetians, Ottomans and British. The heritage and culture from these civilizations are evident all over the island, but none more so than in the North, where sites of historical interest abound. The castle of St Hilarion and the Abbey ruins at Bellapais are just two of the wonderful relics of these past times, and still exude atmosphere.

The identity of the island is very Cypriot however. The warm and welcoming nature of the people is one of the first things you notice when visiting for the first time. Go into any of the local towns and tavernas you will experience firsthand the friendly atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at ease. Many of the local people speak and understand English and encourage visitors in their attempts at the language. There are several places where you can learn to speak Turkish in a relaxed atmosphere, something to keep you busy through the cooler winter months perhaps!
A food lover's paradise, you don't have to wander far to sample delicious fare freshly prepared with the abundant local vegetables and locally caught fish. With over 300 restaurants and tavernas to choose from, it would be impossible not to find somewhere that wouldn't satisfy the most diverse of palates. The local Cypriot food is of course influenced by Turkish culinary art, although there are many excellent restaurants specializing in European and international cuisine. An evening stroll down to the harbour in Kyrenia will find visitors spoilt for choice between numerous bars and restaurants where you can sit and while away the hours whilst enjoying a leisurely meal. Eating out is still relatively inexpensive, and always a great pleasure! There are several nightclubs in and around Girne (Kyrenia) for those who wish to have a more active nightlife!

The cost of living in Northern Cyprus is notably less that in the UK, but standards are on a par, with the added bonuses of fantastic scenery and weather! The number of permanent British residents is growing every year, and integrating with the local communities, rather than outside them as has been the case in other countries favoured by ex-pats. A legacy from the British colonial days means that traffic drives on the left and since car hire is cheap and easy, travelling around is no problem.

In the past two years, Northern Cyprus has experienced a true property boom. Property prices have doubled in the last year, with still more potential for capital growth. There are many different types of property to be found, from large and small villas to town centre apartments. Popular choices amongst these are the gated complexes of apartments being built by SeaTerra, one of the largest developers in North Cyprus. Out towards the East side of Girne, their projects are set next to the village of Esentepe and further along the coast road towards Tatlisu.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

The fact that so many people are now becoming aware of Northern Cyprus shows there is huge potential for more tourists to start visiting the area. This seems to be a European and even worldwide awareness. With around 215,000 people living there permanently, this figure more than doubles in the summer months. With both a new golf course due to be opened shortly, and plans for a 400 berth yacht Marina just along from Esentepe, this will no doubt prove to be a big draw for those who have not as yet discovered this wonderful place. At the moment there are about 60 hotels in the region, with another 11,000 beds planned and in the process of being built. More than 60 flights per week arrive at Ercan Airport during the summer, this grows steadily and countless other flights bring people to Northern Cyprus via Larnaca in the South. The winter tourist is also increasing in numbers hugely proving that the secret of Northern Cyprus is well and truly out.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

The Attraction Of Cell Phone Screensavers

2007-12-26T21:05:00.001-08:00

The number of cell phone users have grown tremendously over the years. It is quite unprecedented to think that millions of people are already using a technology that could still be considered just getting out of its infancy. Of course, because of the insane level of acceptance for cell phones it is but natural that other markets that can be considered as products of the cell phone craze have popped up to take advantage of the public's fascination with cell phones.

The market has been flooded with many phone-related products ,accessories and utilities. This phenomenon can be directly linked to the fact that if people are not using their cell phones, they would like to watch it. This attraction for looking at cell phones has resulted in the rising popularity of cell phone screensavers. Cell phone screensavers are just like any other screensaver in that it is a picture or maybe moving graphic that is activated when a cell phone has been left in a state of inactivity for a preset period of time. Of course, the time is set by the user of the phone.

Cell phone screensavers are a very colourful and arresting addition to a cell phone although these types of screensavers are harder to find or get hold of compared to computer screensavers. But this situation is changing because more and more people want to install screensavers on their phones. This increase in the market for screensavers will only mean that screensavers for cell phones will become more readily available soon. At present there are phone manufacturers that already incorporate some screensavers as a stock feature on some of their phone models. Screensavers can also be downloaded on the internet or accessed from the service provider that provides your cell phone line subscription.

Cell phones that have an included phone screensavers as a built in feature are gaining ground in the market. There are phone manufacturers who only put one screensaver in their phone handsets while others give users a choice by putting in more than one screensaver. Of course, it is in the internet that cell phone users can go crazy and get the screensavers that they want. The internet offers cell phone users more options in terms of the kind of screensavers that cell phone owners want. There are so many genres that they can choose from for their phones that can fit not only their personalities, likes and hobbies but even their moods. Some of these screensavers can be downloaded for free while others will require a user to pay for the right to download the screensaver.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

But before downloading any screensaver from any of the online sites that provide cell phone utilities and accessories, the first thing a user must do is to identify the size of his cell phone's screen. Some of the most common cell phone screen sizes are 128X128, 101X80, 128X160, 176X220, or 174X132. A user must identify the correct screen size as well as the compatibility of the screensaver with the cell phone before downloading and installing the screensaver in order to avoid any unpleasant compatibility problems or cell phone crashes.

7 Tips On Getting Ready To Put Attraction Marketing Into Action

2007-12-26T21:04:00.004-08:00

Attraction marketing is about making a customer for life not just making a sale. It's about connecting your passion in business with your perfect clients and customers and giving them a enjoyable experience with your company. People like buying but they hate being sold stuff. Attraction marketing is based on alignment with Universal law and the principles of positive energy not on struggle, lack, and resistance. When using the principals of attraction marketing you are leading not selling. You need to give value and be of service every step of the way without giving away the store. These 7 tips will get you ready to put attraction marketing into action.

1. Begin with the end in mind- what are your big vision success intentions for your business? This is where you would look at what you REALLY want to create with your business in the next 5 years, it's more than bottom line, its inspirational to you.

2. Get very clear on what you really want your business to do for you? Look at the amount of income you want, what your life will feel like with a successful business. What benefits will a thriving business bring into your life...?

3. How do you want to be of service and what contribution would you like to make in the lives of your clients and customers? It doesn't matter if you have a service business or product business, the clear intention of being of service positions you for success from satisfied customers and their referrals.

4. What are you most passionate about doing in your business? Where you have passion you have confidence, enthusiasm, and success. You are magnetically attractive to your customers when you are being passionate about your work.

5. What are the solutions you really enjoy providing for your customers? When you are clear on the solutions you enjoy providing you are giving your customers a greater benefit. Your passion about delivering these solutions gives your customers an edge in solving their challenges and using your solutions for lasting effect.

6. What is a clear definition of your different client niches? Having specific and clearly defied niches does not limit your audience, in fact it broadens and deepens your pool of customers and makes them much easier to market to. Clearly defining your niches is as much about who would be a perfect customer in your mind as it is about their characteristics, demographics, psychographics...

7. Take stock of where you are- has success been a struggle for you? Do you seem to have the same resistance and road bocks? Does it seem like you have a self imposed glass ceiling to your financial flow? Are there any beliefs you hold about your own success that are getting in your way? You will need to become aware of these and dissolve them before you can become an attraction magnet to success on your terms.

Avoid Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket: Diversify Your Client Attraction Portfolio

2007-12-26T21:04:00.003-08:00

Many entrepreneurs I've met get comfortable doing only one or two marketing things and then focus on them to the exclusion of others. Essentially, they put all their marketing eggs in ONE basket and hope for the best. Yet, we know that most successful entrepreneurs use DOZENS of Client Attraction techniques simultaneously to PULL clients in (I do).

Instead of focusing on only one or two ways to get clients, it's time to diversify your Marketing Portfolio and make sure you've got clients coming in from LOTS of different sources. I call this creating your Marketing Pie.

When coaching clients to do this in private sessions, I ask them to draw a large circle on a blank sheet of paper, and draw 4 lines to create a pie with 8 slices.

Then I ask them to fill out each slice of the pie with what they're currently doing to attract clients (only the things that really work) and then fill in the rest of the marketing pie with marketing tools we've agreed will PULL their clients in. This comes from the list of where their Ideal Clients congregate, remember?

So, the list could look like this:

* Network where they network
* Join associations that allow you to rub elbows with them
* Write articles for the publications they read
* Create a Signature Talk for a workshop/seminar they attend
* List your events in publications they read
* Set up referral partnerships with people they do business with on a regular basis
* Get booked as a speaker for organizations they belong to
* Write articles for websites they visit often or rely upon
* Write an e-zine they would be interested in reading
* Give free (or paid) teleseminars they would dial into

Avoid marketing where your ideal clients are NOT spending time, as you will attract people who DON'T fit that profile.

Know that although you DO want a multi-pronged marketing approach (so that you don't ever put all your eggs in one basket), you want to take it slow and not try to put into place ALL the pieces of the pie at the same time You'd overwhelm yourself and exhaust yourself completely, and exhaustion is not very Client Attractive.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

So the idea is to start putting a couple of "slices" of the pie in place, to make them run like a well-oiled machine and THEN move on to adding another slice, one at a time.

Your Assignment:

Spend some time thinking about all the different avenues for reaching you target audience with your compelling marketing message and plot it out on a marketing pie. Then start putting one piece of the pie in place, one after the other, until your Marketing Pie is in full swing and always working to help you attract clients. No more ad hoc marketing, with no results.

OK, but what if you haven't worked out what your compelling marketing message is yet? Or, you don't quite know where to find them in large numbers…You can get lots of help (with tons of assignments and worksheets, templates, etc.) on how to do today's assignment. It's all in the Client Attraction Home Study System™ and it includes lots of crucial stuff to help you fill your practice really quickly. You can get your copy at www.TheClientAttractionSystem.com.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

Client Attraction Should Be Your First Priority (Unless You Want To Go Broke)

2007-12-26T21:04:00.001-08:00

Let's face it, most people put marketing on the back burner, something they get to only once they've put out all the fires that need to be put out, once they answer each and every e-mail in their inbox, once they've sent every client what they promised to send. Yes, it's really important to do all of these things; however, you've got to realize that if you don't MAKE the time for your Client Attraction (i.e., Marketing), then you're simply not going to attract all the clients you need. Make sense?

The good news is, it doesn't have to be difficult. Over the years of coaching thousands of self-employed professionals to attract more clients, I've created a few systems to keep you on track and make Client Attraction a priority. What we've got to do is have you clear the decks and get rid of the "leaks" in your day.

How much time per day should you really allocate for marketing? I recommend my clients spend up to 4 hours of marketing PER DAY the first 6 months to a year in business, or whenever they need a new boost of clients. Many people gasp at that number when I first share it with them, because they usually spend no more than 4 hours per MONTH, if that. No wonder they're having trouble attracting new clients!

First-time clients tell me they just don't have the time to devote that many hours to marketing. Well, since I'm always trying to find solutions to problems, we have to look at what's taking up your time now and there are usually several non-essential things that are eating up your time. I call these the "leaks" in your day. Here's what I mean: if you're spending your valuable time working on non-business items during the day, then you may want to consider putting a "pause" button on these for the first 6 months of working on this Client Attraction System™.

It might mean stepping down from that Board of Directors position that doesn't really serve you, taking a leave of absence from that time-consuming project that isn't giving you a return on your time investment, not going to the grocery store during the day, and just deciding you will go to the gym before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m. every day, instead of smack in the middle of your workday.

Remember, it's much more difficult to attract new clients when you're not out there sharing with people what you do; networking, writing newsletters, articles, sending mailings, following up with potential clients, asking current clients for referrals, or working on presentations or seminars.

OK, then, so let's get really clear on what your day should look like. During the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (or whatever you consider your regular work hours, I'm not picky about that), there are only 2 things you should be working on:
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

1. Client work (the stuff that actually makes you money)
2. Client Attraction and marketing (the stuff that gets you clients)

Everything else has to go (for now) or can wait until after 5 p.m. I know, this is drastic to some, but it just has to be something you strive for, at least for the short term.

After 6 months or a year, when you start seeing consistent results in your Client Attraction, you'll be able to decrease the number of hours you spend on marketing each day and reinstate some of the things you enjoyed doing beforehand, but had to put on pause for awhile. (However, you might just be so happy to focus only on Client Attraction and client work during the day that, as for many of my private clients, you'll decide never to go back to the old way of doing things.)
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

Your Assignment:

Clear the decks. If you know you need 4 hours of marketing per day (that's what I scheduled per day to fill both of my private practices to capacity in less than 8 months each), then you've simply got to make room for it. Your business—and livelihood—depends on it.

Take a pad of paper and write down all of the different things that take up your time every day. Include every curricular and extracurricular activity. Be a hard grader! This is not the time to be forgiving. We're looking for change, not excuses.

Once you've done that, underline or check off the things that can go for at least the next 6 months, to give you the time and space to make your practice what you want it to be: FULL.

Then do it. Make a commitment to eliminate the things (for the short-term) that eat up major amounts of time each day and week. Now, don't get depressed. Remember, this is not forever; it's just for right now, a few months, until you get all the clients you need. Then you can slowly start adding things back in. I did.

This mantra kept me going for the first 6 months: "A strong focus now creates a different future later."

Want more of the tools that I still use today to keep making Client Attraction a priority EVEN while I have a full practice? It's all outlined in the Client Attraction Home Study System™. All the time grids, tools, and tricks I've developed and used over the years are all there for you to use right away, so you can manage your time and start attracting lots of clients fast. The Client Attraction Home Study System™ will save you LOTS of time in filling your practice quickly and consistently. You can get it at www.TheClientAttractionSystem.com.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

Get Past Procrastination and Into Client Attraction: My 5 Steps to Getting Things Done

2007-12-26T21:03:00.002-08:00

Have you ever looked at your to-do list and just wanted to run away? Sometimes, procrastination gets the best of us self-employed people. It seems that everything is priority and we tend to put some things on the back burner. The thing is, if the items on your to-do list have to do with marketing and Client Attraction, then you don't want to ignore them (if you do, you may not have clients in 6 months).

Procrastination creeps its ugly head in my business every now and then. Personally, I think it's more overwhelm than procrastination and the list can be so overwhelming that I tend to go in avoidance/denial mode, preferring to just not deal with it. (Has that ever happened to you too?)

Realistically, you can't ignore having to market yourself, so you sometimes just have to bite the bullet and do what it takes. Here's my personal action checklist to take me from procrastination to massive action:

1. Prioritize: Your list may be a mile long or just a half page long. Either way, the best way to get into action is to sort out what your return on investment is going to be for each item on your list (financially, time-wise, resource-wise) and then sort them by the one that will reap the most benefits (i.e., clients and revenue) from the littlest output on your part. You'll start with that one.
2. What's getting in the way? Sometimes, I find that procrastination is more about something getting in the way than anything else. It could be that you don't have every piece of the puzzle to be able to move forward into accomplishing something. It could be that you don't know how to do ONE aspect of it. It could also be that this is a SHOULD and isn't absolutely necessary to your success. Whatever's holding you back, just get clear on it.
3. How long will it REALLY take: I've found that often, I delay on a marketing task (or any task, for that matter) because I anticipate it taking a lot longer than it really will. To get past this, look at a task and ask yourself how long it will realistically take to get done. Then, take out the to-do list and write down the time it will take you to accomplish it next to each item (15 minutes, 2 hours, etc.)
4. Schedule it: Look at your calendar and find time slots that correspond to the time allotment for each task you did above and schedule them, as if they were client appointments that you were unable to cancel.
5. Just do it: Once you've got the "task appointments" scheduled in your book, just do them. You'll power through them like you've never done before. It's actually pretty cool.

Your Assignment: When marketing yourself, take notice of when you start slipping into procrastination mode (it happens to most everyone, trust me). Prioritize the tasks on your list to focus on the ones that will get you the highest return on investment, notice what's getting in the way or what piece is missing, and solve the issue accordingly, establish how long it will take to get done, and then schedule in your calendar. You'll have no excuse not to do it.

Remember, there's never a point at which you can say (about marketing) "I'm successful now, I might as well take a nap." Notice the very successful entrepreneurs you look up to. They never stop marketing. In fact, they're always adding new things to their existing marketing plans. Do the same. Get past your procrastination and into Client Attraction. ALWAYS BE MARKETING and you'll always have clients.

Sales and the Law of Attraction

2007-12-26T21:03:00.001-08:00

I'm about to challenge your belief system, or at least I'm going to try.

I'm going to tell you exactly why you make a sale, and why you do not.

By doing this, I'm going to give you access to some extraordinary principles that seem to fly in the face of logic, but nonetheless are at work in your life every moment of every day.
There is a Law put in place that permeates the entire Universe. It is called the Law of Attraction. While this idea is generally associated with the new age and metaphysical communities, it is in fact, a Law. This means that there is not one entity in the Universe that is "immune" to it.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

To understand the Law of Attraction on a practical level, you need to have a basic understanding of the building blocks of our Universe. Specifically, you need to know that at our most basic physical level, we are 99% empty space. We are in fact, pure Energy. And this Energy has a specific characteristic that if we understand it fully, we can use this characteristic to create a life beyond our wildest dreams. And that includes making more sales, with more commission, and more effortlessly than you would have thought possible.

The Law of Attraction is all about this characteristic that I mentioned. That is that Energy attracts like Energy. I understand that we're talking about non-tangible things here, and that some of this is beyond the scope of what you've thought about before, thus this all might seem very far out. However, I urge you to continue reading so that you can see that regardless of what you think about it, it IS at work in your life, and thus you have the power to redirect anything and everything in your experience.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

All Energy vibrates. Everything has a specific and unique frequency. You need to understand that EVERYTHING is Energy, including your thoughts, dreams, and passions. When two vibrations are in resonance, they attract each other.

This manifests in subtle ways in our lives every day. We'll be thinking about someone and they will call. You'll think about something you want, and suddenly you obtain it through completely unexpected means. How does this happen?

Every thought and feeling you have has a vibration. It's resonating out into the Universe at a specific frequency, basically seeking a matching vibration. If you're thinking about talking to a person, and really feeling what that would be like, you are literally attracting the circumstances for that feeling to manifest physically. You are attracting a situation that is in perfect resonance with what you're vibrating. When you do that, the Universe WILL respond appropriately every time.

Given this, imagine the possibilities as it applies to sales!

First, you have to understand that this is not about making other people do what you want them to do "against their will". To the contrary, it is about learning to literally ATTRACT the appropriate people who WANT to buy from you. Most people work far too hard trying to FIND the appropriate buyer, expending time and Energy on people who are not a vibrational match for them.
Tip! The Language of Attraction- is about our choice of language with others and especially with ourselves. It doesn't matter whether the communication is verbal, written or just a thought the quality of our language will effect the quality of our results.

Think about that. Wouldn't it be nice to NOT have to cold call all the time? Wouldn't it be nice to know that nearly everyone you deal with is going to make a purchase, or even be a lifetime customer? Of course it would.

It's actually quite a simple process, however not always so easy for everyone. Many people have all kinds of "stuff" (limiting beliefs) about what is possible or necessary with regards to succeeding in sales. They've learned that nothing short of hard work will result in success, and they have had many models in their lives that have demonstrated this to be "true". However, there is NO Truth to it. It's simply a belief. And if that belief runs through you, it affects your energetic vibration - your frequency - and limits what you can attract into your experience b>no matter how much you consciously want something different.
Tip! The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything vibrates and every vibration affects all other vibrations. I like the way Abraham-Hicks put it: 'Everything vibrates and is communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things.

To attract something into your experience, such as a multitude of sales, you have to go from "wanting" it, to feeling that you already have it. There is a very specific vibration to "wanting". It implies you don't have it. The feeling that you don't have it causes your vibration to attract only more of "you don't have it". It's simply responding appropriately as it always will.

Instead you have to take the idea of "visualizing the sale" to a whole new level - because simple visualization without emotion does not serve to attract anything. The attraction starts at the level of your emotion. Changing your emotion is what changes your frequency, much like a radio, and thus changes what you will attract.

You will need to be clear exactly how you want to feel as a result of making a sale. Are you? Don't make this about the money. Money carries a lot of "stuff" for many people. Besides, money is not the end goal here. What will you do with the money? How will spending that money make you FEEL? To the extent that you can conjure up that feeling, you then change your "attraction frequency", thus you begin to attract to you the circumstances necessary to perpetuate or match that feeling that you have.

You're going to makes sales from time to time whether or not you are intentionally trying to use the Law of Attraction. But it's still going to be determined by what you're vibrating. Depending on where you have your attention during the course of the week, and how you're feeling, you will attract all sorts of people. Some will be a match and others won't. However, you can be more intentional about whom you attract by putting yourself in the feeling of what it will be like to work with enthusiastic people who just can't WAIT to buy from you!
Tip! Law of Attraction-what you focus on with your thoughts and feelings becomes your point of attraction and creates the outcomes you bring into your business. You can get into alignment with the law of attraction by having what you say you want, what you think about what you want, and how you feel about having what you want all be congruent with each other.

What counts is how you feel.

Sometimes you'll be confronted with issues of "deserving". You'll realize that somewhere within you, you have a belief that extraordinary success is beyond you, or that you aren't worthy of it somehow. This is another limiting emotion and belief that CAN be eliminated with a little training.

Hopefully, you're selling because you love selling. You're selling because it's who you are. Many people "sell" because they feel it's a good way to make money, but it's far from what they believe their purpose to be. This will always hold them back to some extent from the success they desire. Their vibrational frequency is all over the map as they go through various "roles" during their day. This is the recipe for mediocrity.

But if you believe you are here to sell I invite you to begin to intentionally envision unreasonable success for yourself. But know what success means to you. What do you truly want as a result of a successful sales career? Is it time? Freedom? Peace? For the most part, these are the types of things people are really seeking from financial success.

Again, I realize that this process sounds very bizarre to many. It doesn't seem, on the surface, to make sense. But we are not talking at the level of "surface". We're looking much deeper level of what we're truly made up of beyond the skin and bones we consider ourselves to be. When you can open your mind, you will begin to tap into an incredible power that has ALWAYS been at work in your life, and has always been at your disposal.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

Unfortunately most people are never taught these things, because not that many people know anything about them. This doesn't make them any less true. Further, there are many who DO intentionally use these principles every day and know unreasonable success in ALL areas of their lives.

And now, you know the "secret" as well. You can scoff at it, and go right back to doing things how you've always done them. Win some, lose some. Or you can just give it a try for a while and see what happens. It costs you nothing, and can gain you everything.

To summarize:

Feel the sale. Visualize EXACTLY how you'd like your sale to transpire, but pay total attention to how you FEEL about experiencing that sale in the "now" moment of visualizing it. Make the feelings as intense and realistic as possible. Imagine the transaction on every sensory level - any sights, sounds, smell, feelings, etc. that you can generate will help you "fine tune" the vibration so that you attract exactly what you want.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

The Use of Attraction Will Empower Your Sales Team

2007-12-26T21:02:00.004-08:00

We have all had the experience of feeling an instant connection or bond with someone after just a few seconds of being in their presence. This is the Law of Connectivity. We have probably all met someone whom we instantly did not like and did not want to be around. This is caused by a lack of connectivity and usually takes only a few seconds to manifest itself. The Law of Connectivity states that the more we feel connected to, part of, liked by, or attracted to someone, the more persuasive they become. When you create an instant bond or connection, people feel comfortable around you. They will feel like they have known you for a long time and that they can easily relate to you. When we feel connected with someone, we feel comfortable and understood; they can relate to us and a sense of trust ensues.

When we come in contact with someone of the opposite sex, the attractiveness concept is magnified. Attractive females can persuade men more easily than unattractive ones, and attractive males can persuade females more easily than unattractive males can. We see obvious examples of this all around us. At conventions and trade shows, large corporations fill their space with sexy and attractive females. In one study, men who saw a new car ad that included a seductive female model rated the car as faster, more appealing, more expensive looking, and better designed than did men who viewed the same ad without the model. It is not uncommon for a store manager to assign an attractive female sales associate to the young man who walks in the door. Most store managers (although they won't admit it) hire attractive salespeople to attract more customers.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

There are four main factors in connectivity: attraction, similarity, people skills, and rapport. Let's talk about attraction. However, before proceeding, it is important to note that really connecting with others requires an attitude of sincerity, a lot of practice, and a true interest in the other person. Whatever you do, don't take your relationships with people for granted.

Everyone persuades for a living. There's no way around it. Whether you're a sales professional, an entrepreneur, or even a stay at home parent, if you are unable to convince others to your way of thinking, you will be constantly left behind. Get your free reports at Success Advantage to make sure that you are not left watching others pass you on the road to success. Donald Trump said it best, "Study the art of persuasion. Practice it. Develop an understanding of its profound value across all aspects of life."
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

Attraction operates by making one positive characteristic of a person affect other people's overall perception of him. Sociologists describe this as the Halo Effect. Because of this halo effect, people automatically associate traits of kindness, trust, and intelligence with people who are attractive. We naturally try to please people we like and find attractive. If your audience likes you, they will forgive you for your "wrongs" and remember your "rights." In fact, studies show that people who are physically attractive are better able to persuade others. They are also perceived as friendlier and more talented, and they usually have higher incomes. "Attractive" means more than just looking beautiful or handsome. It also encompasses having the ability to attract and draw people to you.

The effect of attractiveness transcends all situations. For example, the judicial system, which is supposed to be based upon evidence, has documented cases where attractiveness made a dramatic difference. In one Pennsylvania study, researchers rated the attractiveness of seventy-four male defendants at the start of their criminal trials. Later, the researchers reviewed the court records for the decisions in these cases and found that the handsome men had received significantly lighter sentences. In fact, those researchers found that the attractive defendants were twice as likely to avoid jail time as unattractive defendants. In the same study, a defendant who was better looking than his victim was assessed an average fine of $5,623; but when the victim was the more attractive of the two, the average compensation was twice that much. What's more, both female and male jurors showed the same bias.
Tip! The Language of Attraction- is about our choice of language with others and especially with ourselves. It doesn't matter whether the communication is verbal, written or just a thought the quality of our language will effect the quality of our results.

The halo effect also affects political elections. In 1974, a Canadian Federal election board found attractive candidates received more than two and a half times as many votes as unattractive candidates. When voters were surveyed about their bias, 73 percent denied, in the strongest possible terms, that they were influenced by attractiveness. Another 14 percent would only allow for the possibility.

Consider these everyday examples of one's appearance influencing their circumstances: Have you ever noticed that height often seems to have some relationship to one's position? It often seems that the taller people get better jobs and have higher salaries.

Did you ever notice that there are some children who seem to be able to get away with anything? There has been some research showing that attractive children who misbehave are considered "less naughty" by adults than less attractive children. In elementary school, teachers often presume the more attractive children are even more intelligent than the less attractive children.
Tip! The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything vibrates and every vibration affects all other vibrations. I like the way Abraham-Hicks put it: 'Everything vibrates and is communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things.

The attractiveness of our clothes can also evoke the Law of Connectivity. Researchers Freed, Chandler, Mouton, and Blake conducted a now-famous experiment on how easy it would be to encourage people to ignore a "Don't Walk" sign at a city intersection. When a well-dressed individual ignored the sign and walked into the street, 14 percent of the people who had been waiting for the light to change followed him across. When the same person repeated the experiment the next day, now dressed in sloppy clothes, only 4 percent of the people followed him across. A similar effect has been found in hiring situations. In one study, the good grooming of applicants in a simulated employment interview accounted for more favorable hiring decisions than did their job qualifications. This happened even though the interviewers claimed that appearance only played a minor role in their choices. I know that when I travel, how I am treated and how often I am upgraded is directly related to how I am dressed. I can persuade the airline attendant to give me better seats, a better flight, or the help I need much better and faster when I am in a suit than when I am wearing casual attire. When I have on jeans and a T-shirt, I am viewed as less attractive and, as a result, get less cooperation.

Not only can we focus on our other abilities to make us appear more attractive, but we can also increase our physical attractiveness in many different ways. Attractiveness lies in the simple things that many people overlook, like being in shape and watching your weight, picking nice clothes to wear, paying attention to your accessories (i.e., jewelry, glasses, earrings, etc.), and having well-groomed hair. Keep track of hair and clothing styles. Styles can change dramatically, and if we ignore fashion, our persuasive ability may be put in jeopardy. When in doubt, look to national newscasters as conservative role models in style.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

Research has shown that looks matter outside of advertising as well. In various studies, attractive men and women, when compared to those who were considered to be less attractive, were judged to be happier, smarter, friendlier, and more likable. They were also considered likely to have better jobs, be better marital partners, or to get more dates. The halo effect causes us to see such people only in a positive way, which gives them persuasive power. Because of the way we view them, we want to be like them and we hope for them to like us in return.

Conclusion

Persuasion is the missing puzzle piece that will crack the code to dramatically increase your income, improve your relationships, and help you get what you want, when you want, and win friends for life. Ask yourself how much money and income you have lost because of your inability to persuade and influence. Think about it. Sure you've seen some success, but think of the times you couldn't get it done. Has there ever been a time when you did not get your point across? Were you unable to convince someone to do something? Have you reached your full potential? Are you able to motivate yourself and others to achieve more and accomplish their goals? What about your relationships? Imagine being able to overcome objections before they happen, know what your prospect is thinking and feeling, feel more confident in your ability to persuade.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

Networking And Attraction

2007-12-26T21:02:00.003-08:00

I meet a lot of different people both socially and professionally. Being self -employed, I'm at many business mixers and networking events. Whether for professional reasons or casual conversation, the question "What do you do?" comes up. The answer is usually your 30-60 second elevator speech... Hi, My name is .... I work for/my company is ..... I help people.......Sometimes the response goes on for more than 60 seconds.

Last week I was at a mixer and was called over by a colleague to meet a gentleman to whom she was speaking. With my name tag on, I walked over and extended my hand. Next - the question " So what do you do?" I have several short responses that invite questions if people want to know more. He didn't. My turn came up to ask him the same question. After learning about his profession (financial services) in about 6O seconds, I asked him a question to learn more about who he was. His answer was to tell me about how good he was at his job, how happy his clients were with his services and so on for 10 -15 minutes. I stopped hearing him after the first few minutes as I looked for a polite way to excuse myself. Know what I mean? During the entire conversation he never asked me anything that showed any curiosity in knowing who I am. It felt more like listening to an advertisement instead of having a conversation. It was all about HIM! Then he gave me his card, asked for referrals and said he'd get in touch with me. It was a total turnoff. Sound familiar?
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

Here's my 64 cents. People like to be talked to not talked at. If your focus in networking is only to get clients to build YOUR business, that's what people will pick up. That may work with some people. Remember, the first thing people buy is you not your product or service.

Have you met people who have shown a genuine interest in you/your needs? What was that like? Did you feel a connection or want to affiliate with them? Would they have been people you would want as friends? And if that person had a service or product something you needed, would you want to buy from them? If your intent is to forge strategic alliances and build relationships with people, take a look at the way you're coming across and the agenda (expectations, desired results) you bring in meeting people in any situation. Creating connections naturally opens the door to referrals. If you knew of someone great who would be of help to folks in your life, would you keep that person a secret? This is Attraction not a technique to be more effective in business.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

Three Attraction Tips:

-- Be real - be yourself with people. * If you don't know who you are or how to be real, contact me. I'll help you figure that out!

-- Be genuinely curious in learning about people in casual or business situations. Listen for how many times you make "I" statements to draw the focus consistently back to you. Good conversations have a back and forth flow vs. being a captive audience.

-- Really listen by staying present to what's being said. Practice active listening. Asking question that refer to people's comments invites conversation.

Three Networking Tips:

1. Only offer your card when someone asks for it. Ask for their card if you want it.

2. If you want to give your card but haven't been asked - you can say " May I give you my card?"

3. When given a card, hold it in both hands and say something about the card ( I like the color, very striking) before putting it in your pocket or purse.

-- If you meet someone you'd like to know better, invite them for coffee!

Last comment.....I'm a big believer in forging relationships and building a community of support. You can quote me - "What we can do alone is nothing compared to what we can do together" - Lorraine Cohen

Ten Amazing Ways To Increase Attraction at a Trade Show

2007-12-26T21:02:00.001-08:00

These ideas are for anyone that has a small budget to work with or is just starting to expand into exhibiting at trade shows.

You can even use these tips and techniques whenever you are speaking or presenting -- at Toastmasters, delivering workshops -- or even eLearning activities.

1. Have a visual point at your booth -- like a power point show or a television with a video playing. Put together a workshop video, even if it isn't professional quality. People will usually not look at it more than three minutes before they feel conspicuous and will approach you.

2. Have a picture album with success stories and pictures. Especially great for independent professionals selling a intangible product. Pictures of workshop attendees having fun and doing various projects or eating together or a Christmas party in your office with your clients is very connecting and attractive. Please like to belong to things that they perceive as "successful."

3. Have a drawing for something that is valuable and attractive to them. Don't give away something laying around your office or something that has your ego attached, this very unattractive.

4. Candy bowl. One they have to reach deep. Don't fill it up, let it look like there isn't much left -- that is even more attractive. They want to reach in before it's all gone. They will take less too (chuckle)>

5. Hire a model with brains and a marketing background to assist you. Someone "very attractive."

6. Do what they do in grocery stores, demonstrate how to use your product. Wear a mike and have a small speaker attached. Buy the headset mike like professional singers use. The connection to that alone will attract (second chuckle).

7. Wear clothes with your logo. Name tags are great for participants but displaying your logo or name is important for building your brand. If you can't afford to have them done, create your own. There are transfer materials made for your ink jet printers (see your office supply store), find some nice shirts/blouses, and go create.
Tip! The Language of Attraction- is about our choice of language with others and especially with ourselves. It doesn't matter whether the communication is verbal, written or just a thought the quality of our language will effect the quality of our results.

8. Don't just stand behind the booth, go in front of the booth and mix and mingle.

9. Stand up behind the booth with a smile. If you get tired go sit somewhere else and have someone there that has an attractive approachable energy. Rule of thumb is to rotate the energy every 30 to 60 minutes.

10. Display your web site name big and bold in the background. Make the name a different color than the "www" and the ".com".

Here's a bonus for you. How about going in with another one-person business and sharing the costs. One that I like to use, is to work with someone like does chair-massages. It is a big attractor to people.

Oops, let me slip in another tip -- let's call it a super bonus -- for getting this far in your the reading and in your mindset. If you are a shy person, a dead way to sell at a trade show, hire a trade show presenter.

A trade show presenter is experienced at attracting people to your booth. Their fee may seem expensive, and I said I was going to keep these tips in the inexpensive realm, yet then if your ROI gains from it, it will pay for itself. And these experts on presenting at trade shows will pull in the people all the time. Find someone training for this type of work and you might even be able to barter.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

Client Attraction Technique #2: Networking

2007-12-26T21:01:00.002-08:00

One of the most cost effective ways of generating leads and referrals. However it's important that you ‘work' these opportunities in the correct way. The following techniques should make a great difference to your success rate at networking events.

In The Beginning

It's important to know exactly what you want out of a networking event, as well as why you're attending? Is it to refine your skills, build relationships, make sales or research the competition? Will you encourage people them to visit your website? Sign up for a workshop? Set up a time for a further meeting?

In fact, you may find you'll benefit most from networking when you have one intention and stick to it. That way you won't become sidetracked and instead can concentrate on the job in hand, for example, to build potential joint ventures.

Business Cards

Apart from yourself, these are second most important equipment for any networking event. However, don't just hand your business card out to all and sundry. In fact, until you know whether or not the person opposite fits a match to your needs, don't be tempted to exchange cards. No match, no card.

Also keep a pen handy, that way you can write something memorable about the person you've just met on the back of their business card before moving on i.e. what was discussed, their interests, needs etc. This can provide a great memory jog for after the event.

Never apologise for your business card. As long as it contains your correct contact details, then your business cards are performing. Remember, ‘business cards do not maketh the man… Or woman.'

First Impressions

What will make more of an impression, your job title or what you actually do? Remember that with any product (and the product here is ‘you') people want to know about the benefits not the features.

So instead of saying ‘I'm a Financial Planner', try ‘I help people take control of their finances'. Doesn't that immediately sound much more empowering and interesting?

Think about how you would introduce yourself, so that you a) tell people what you do, and b) include a perceived benefit.
Tip! The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything vibrates and every vibration affects all other vibrations. I like the way Abraham-Hicks put it: 'Everything vibrates and is communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things.

However the best way to make an impression is to listen. Remember it's not about you, but them - keep talking about your business and how great you are and you've lost them. However by taking a real interest in the person opposite and how your business can help them, well then you're well on the way to gaining a good contact and maybe even a client.

So what kind of things could you ask or talk about? Here are a few questions to get your started:

* How did you become involved in this kind of business?

* How do you see this event helping you in your business

* What marketing have you found most effective in your business or industry?

* What would a typical client say about you?

* What is your number one need at the moment?

* What business trends do you see affecting you right now (or next year)?
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

* How do you identify potential customers?

Then see if you can leave a potential contact with something more. For example, do you have a report you could take along, a copy of an article or press release about your business? Something different, something ‘extra' that could make you stand out and differentiate you from the competition.

It's Not A Race

You don't have to meet everyone. Three to four productive discussions will yield far better results, long term, than nineteen ‘grip and grins'. Believe me if you're intent on meeting as many people as possible it tends to give away two things, a) a sense of desperation, and that b) you're clearly at the event for one reason: to find work… And quickly!

The Follow-Up

Follow-up within 48 hours of making a contact, either by email, phone or letter. It displays your level of commitment, credibility and professionalism. Yes, we're all busy people, but honestly how long does it really take to write a quick email? How often have we met people who have promised to ‘get in touch' and never do? Don't be one of these.
Tip! The Language of Attraction- is about our choice of language with others and especially with ourselves. It doesn't matter whether the communication is verbal, written or just a thought the quality of our language will effect the quality of our results.

Client Attraction Technique #3: Study the Competition!

2007-12-26T21:01:00.001-08:00

One very powerful and cost-effective marketing strategy is to study the competition. This is an important exercise, as essentially it allows you to find out as much as possible about the opposition - how best they operate, what they lack and then how to capitalise on it!

Study the Competition Offline

Start by reviewing the Yellow Pages, the Thomson Local or even go online to determine what you're up against locally (and if applicable nationally). Make a list of the businesses you need to research, then systematically list the advantages and disadvantages associated with each company. Try to be as objective as possible.

Some questions you might need to ask about the opposition include:

* Where do they advertise?

* Who buys from them?

* What form of marketing seems to work best (or not) for them?

* Do they produce a newsletter you could join?

* What's their background?

* Do they try to appeal to all sections of your particular business sector, or do they have a niche market?

Study Your Competition Online

If a competitor is consistently higher in search engine rankings than you are, work out how they got there. For example use www.linkpopularity.com to see which sites link to their website, as well as your own. Relevant links can dramatically increase traffic to your web site as they provide an excellent source of consistent and targeted hits.

Review your competitor's website from top to bottom - essentially ‘get under the bonnet' and see what makes it work.

View the competition as not only a force to be overcome but an aid in your marketing efforts. You might be pleasantly surprised, or shocked, when you compare your business to what else is out there. Either way you'll learn a great deal using this method!
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

Identify Your Perfect Clients & Develop an Attraction Marketing System

2007-12-26T21:00:00.002-08:00

Your Vision of Your Perfect Clients

Picture in your mind your 3 perfect clients. You may think of them as your A+ clients.

Your Perfect Client Prototype - Qualities & Attributes The Be - Do - Have Approach

BE: Your perfect clients attitudes, beliefs, & values Example:

DO: How your perfect clients' behave. What do they do and what do they not do. Example:

HAVE: What do your perfect clients have and what don't they have that makes them a perfect client. Example:

What Makes Your Perfect Clients Tick? "The key to creating far more satisfying and synchronistic relationships is to say what usually goes unsaid in the context of business, to share the motivations and missions that drive us and our customers (clients) to get out of bed each morning and face another day. When we know what motivates our perfect customers - what is most important to them in their lives - we will be in a much better position to assist them to achieve their goals." Attracting Perfect Customers: The Power of Strategic Synchronicity by Stacey Hall & Jan Brogniez

Interviewing questions for getting to what makes your perfect client tick:

1. Why do you get out of bed in the morning?

2. Who is the most important person to you in the world?

3. What is most important to you in the world?

4. What do you want to achieve before you leave this world?

5. What do you really love about your life?

Attraction Principle: Like attracts like. Based on this, you can lay the foundation for a great relationship by asking the same questions of yourself, since your perfect customers are generally motivated by the same, missions, issues, values and challenges as you are.

What Do Your Perfect Clients Expect You to Deliver?

What are the qualities and attributes that make your practice a perfect place for your perfect clients?

How do you know what your customers expect of you? You get to say.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

How can this be? You are fulfilling your own unique purpose and mission through your business. You are the only one who can create your business in the way you do. To be most attractive to your perfect clients, it's paramount that you be completely fulfilled through your work.

Thought Experiment: Recall a time when you were serving a perfect client? What was it like? Now, recall a time when you were serving a difficult client? What was that like? What was 1 key difference? Didn't the perfect client appreciate the way you do business and the difficult one would have preferred for you to do business in some other way?

Key point: What do you want to provide and how?

I Choose for My Perfect Clients to Expect Me to….

Include: pricing, location, advertising methods, staff size, primary services, secondary services, Not what you think you should provide, or have to provide. Only what you truly want to provide. What would be most satisfying and fulfilling for you? This is key to designing your practice on purpose and filling it with your perfect clients.

Where Do You Have Room for Improvement? Question: What do you have to improve to attract more perfect clients? Answer: Only those items that your perfect client expects you to deliver.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

More Challenging Question: What are you currently working to improve that your perfect clients don't expect or want you to improve? This is the most fun and enjoyable part of the process. It's an opportunity to acknowledge your strengths and to identify where you can ‘turn on the power' in order to be even more attractive to a larger This step helps keep you on track and on purpose with your overall game plan by allowing you to check to see if new ideas are aligned with and consistent with what you say your perfect customers expect from you.

Exercise: 1. Look at your list, "I Choose for My Perfect Clients to Expect Me to…"

2. For each item ask yourself, "Are we providing this service or meeting this expectation completely right now?"

3. If yes, congratulations. Go on to the next item on the list. If no, then circle that one.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

4. Repeat for all the items on the list. As you ask this question, check in with your perfect clients - the 3 you pictured at the start of this process. Ask them what they say. (Often, we're our own worst critic, especially if we have a ‘perfectionist streak' in us.)

5. Top of new page, write "What Do I Have to Improve to Attract More Perfect Customers?" Write the circled items here.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

6. Write down the date when you will BEGIN working on that item.

What's Next?

You've just made a great start in designing your practice on purpose to be even more attractive to your perfect clients. Possible actions for moving forward:

1. Keep adding to your 4 lists.

2. Review your plan daily, even if it's for just 5 minutes.

3. Share it with your staff and invite them to nominate items to add to the list. (But you get to say what you actually add. It's your plan.)

Marketing Strategies: Using the Law of Attraction to Create Your Ideal Income

2007-12-26T21:00:00.001-08:00

Did you know that your thoughts and intentions play a big part in your success in 2006? Not only that, but what you choose to focus on determines what you'll attract?

This article describes the Law of Attraction and why it's so important to master this Law. By learning how to implement the Law of Attraction you'll be able to create your Ideal Income In 2006.

The 5 steps:

Step 1: Get clear on what you don't want.

It sounds strange, doesn't it to focus on what you don't want? However, that's what most of us do all the time, unconsciously. In my 30 years of empowering people to reach their goals, I have discovered that most people are focusing on what they don't want . So, for example, if they have a pile of bills, they'll focus on their pile of bills and their lack of money. What do they get ? More of what they are focusing on.
Step 2: Get clear on what you do want.

For, everything that you don't want, ask yourself, "So what do I want?" By doing that, you are sending signals to your conscious and subconscious mind to bring you more of what you do want. If money is your concern and there is a big contrast between the money you have and the money you want, put your focus on the money you want.

Step 3: Create your desire statement.

So after you begin focusing on what you do want, write a paragraph describing what you desire. If it's about money, then write out a Desire statement describing you Ideal Money Situation, as if it were happening right now. For example, " I now have an abundance of prosperity. Every month there is more coming in than going out. I am happily buying what I need and I have money left over……" and so forth.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

Step 4: Clear your beliefs.

What would block you from manifesting the prosperity that you want? When I ask my clients that question, I usually get answers like , "I don't deserve it". "No one in my family makes that amount of money." "If I have that money everyone will want some of it and I'll never know if people like me or they like my money." " I don't' have what it takes to succeed at that level".

So what self-limiting beliefs do you have? What stops you from having your ideal income? What self sabotaging strategies do you use?

Step 5: Allow it to come to you.

In other words, suspend all doubt and just trust that you'll be guided into inspired action. By following your hunches and keeping your focus on what you want, you become increasingly magnetic.

A tip: Read your desire statement each day out loud and feel what it feels like to have it. Really allow your self to experience it so that you magnetize it to you.

Attraction Marketing: Put Your Marketing on Auto-Pilot

2007-12-26T20:59:00.000-08:00

Years ago when I was looking to add new clients to my consulting practice, I had to proactively go out and seek them.

The marketing strategies I used included networking and speaking engagements, along with keeping in touch with my contact list of friends and business associates in the hopes they would refer clients when appropriate.

These relationship marketing efforts supported my business 100% in the early years.

But, although I'm embarrassed to admit it because I should know better, when I got busy and had plenty of client work, I fell off my marketing wagon.

I just didn't have the time. Or, I guess one could argue, I just didn't make the time to keep up my proactive marketing efforts.

So what happened if I lost a client or two, and suddenly needed more work? I'd have to quickly rev-up my marketing in the hopes I could generate more work in a short amount of time.

Not an ideal scenario by any stretch. But it's also pretty typical, especially for independent service professionals.

Then, several years ago, I discovered attraction marketing.

With attraction marketing you attract qualified leads TO your business so you don't have to go out chasing them.

You forget about "selling" and you focus on "serving."

And just like a magnet, you start attracting prospects and clients. They see you or hear you or read something you've written and if it resonates with a problem or need they have, they come to you.

Can you imagine what it would be like to have potential clients emailing you, calling you and visiting your web site all on their own?

Instead of you having to track them down and convince them to call, email or visit your website?
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

That's attraction marketing. And it's so much easier and comfortable than traditional sales and marketing.

And, if you do a good job of creating a very clear and concise positioning for yourself and your business, you'll attract exactly the right clients and anyone who is not a good fit for your services will not be attracted.

Talk about saving time! You no longer have to wade through an entire list of prospects to find the ones who are a good fit. And you no longer have to rely on cold-calling or other more traditional sales methods to get work.

You can actually focus on doing what you do best and THAT is what attracts clients to you. Yes, you do have to put a few elements in place to start generating awareness of you and your services, but again it becomes more about serving than selling.

The best part is, you can get off the revenue roller coaster and create a more steady business this way. Because you always have new prospects coming into your marketing funnel (Don't know what a marketing funnel is? Read my article at http://www.10stepmarketing.com/marketingfunnel.htm )

Attraction marketing doesn't have to replace your other methods of marketing. For example, I still network and keep up with my relationship marketing and speaking/teleseminars. But it sure is an easy way to really step up your results and practically put your marketing on auto-pilot.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

7 Small Business and Self Employed Law of Attraction Principles For Success

2007-12-26T20:58:00.000-08:00

It is widely held that one of the most important ingredients in small business success is perseverance. Deciding on a strategy and sticking with it. I would agree but you need to be clear that the strategy is in alignment with your passion in business and your natural action and communication styles. It's also helpful to have effective strategies to follow through on what you set as your priorities, goals, plans, calls to action... and other components of your daily business activities. These principals will give you ideas to be effective when working on your business; so you can be persistent, passionate and productive in your small business.

1. Passion- you just can't have a thriving business without it. Being passionate and believing in what you do creates clarity, enthusiasm and focus. It will spark ideas for new products and services, it will come through in all of your marketing pieces, and it will help you keep going when you hit the occasional rough patch. Your passion will inspire your customers, employees, subcontractors, suppliers and colleagues to connect with their passion and give you 100% when you work together.
Tip! I find myself automatically assigning all my new desires to Law of Attraction.

2. Law of Attraction-what you focus on with your thoughts and feelings becomes your point of attraction and creates the outcomes you bring into your business. You can get into alignment with the law of attraction by having what you say you want, what you think about what you want, and how you feel about having what you want all be congruent with each other. This reflects in every aspect of your small business so it's important to recognize if your predominate thoughts are of lack, resistance, and struggle, or of possibility, opportunities, and forward momentum.

3. Attraction Marketing in action- This is where you combine the principals of the Law of Attraction with some traditional business tools. What you get is a shift in perspective from finding business to attracting business. You do this by getting clear on what is important to you, how you want to be of service, and what success on your terms would look like. You start with the end in mind and this big picture view will give way to inspired actions that you can follow through on to make you very effective, productive, and attractive in all of your business activities. Instead of making one sale you are connecting with a perfect customer and creating a customer for life.
Tip! An Enjoyable Personality- If your leadership flows with the Law of Attraction this will be very easy for you. Because your focus will be on possibility not problems, abundance not lack, intention not expectations.

4. Natural Action styles- Everyone has a natural action style that gives them powerful results when they honor it. Some people are Decisive: they gather information weigh the important factors for them and then make a decision. Some are Inspirational: the can see the big picture and create the steps to get there. Some are Conservative they look at what they are currently doing and look for ways to improve it or to build on existing structures that others have created. Some are Selective they like to take time to do research, try things a little at a time and then move forward. Within these four main action styles how people gather and process information will differ. All of the natural action styles have preferences about list making or brain storming, visual cues or verbal cues... You can explore this a bit more on your own by writing down your answers to these questions. In what forms do you like to take action? Do you like to make lists, brainstorm, free associate... do you read or listen for inspiration. If you are not sure of this; reverse the question in what forms do you dislike taking action? This will get you started and your natural action style will become clearer.
Tip! I understand and accept that Law of Attraction is a process. It is a process of gradually reducing the negative vibrational patterns I have towards some areas in my life and replacing them with positive thoughts.

5. The Language of Attraction- is about our choice of language with others and especially with ourselves. It doesn't matter whether the communication is verbal, written or just a thought the quality of our language will effect the quality of our results. When you begin to put this strategy into action you will want to start with your choice of language. Being conscious of the language you choose means you stop stuff from falling out of your mouth or your thoughts without realizing what you are saying. An example: I need to find more people to buy our products we're not doing well. Using the language of attraction you might say, I am thrilled with the customers we have, revenue is coming in and I want inspired actions to help me increase the number of perfect clients I have and increase the volume of profits flowing in. Its subtle I know. But the main difference is that you are acknowledging and appreciating the customers you have that are flowing money into your business, you are standing in the space of appreciating what is working in your business and this will allow you to attract more ideas, tools, resources, referral sources to bring in even more revenue. It's like compounding interest, the more you appreciate what is the more your business grows. And the sooner you start the sooner you feel things flowing.

6. The Myth of Procrastination- Procrastination is not something to blow through or move past, it is a message from your self to pay closer attention to what you are doing. There are two reasons procrastination shows up. 1. Because you are not in alignment with what you are trying to do. Or 2. You are not honoring your natural action style with the actions you are taking. An example for #1: You are trying to create a website by yourself, because you think it will save you some money but you can't ever seem to get it accomplished. One key component in your natural action style is focus on your strengths and move forward once you have made a decision. In this case getting clear on what business you are in will help you move forward immediately. Hire a web master to do what they do best and get your website up attracting more clients for what you do best. Honoring your natural action style will show you trying to do both is false economy and not attracting the success you want.
Tip! The habit of Going beyond Expectations- Going beyond what you are paid to do, what is expected of you or what you want for yourself will be effortless because all of your actions will be inspired actions. The ideas, creativity, solutions and opportunities will just flow because the Law of Attraction is like a big photocopier; it brings you more of what you set out.

An example of #2: You are working on writing a book, you are passionate about the subject, and very interested in getting the project finished and out to your audience to build sales and credibility but you just can't seem to make any progress. One key component in your natural action style is to listen for inspiration and to create word pictures with the language you use. In this case recording your thoughts on tape and transcribing them or starting with an audio version of the material you want to create will honor your natural action style and allow you to move forward. Once the resistance is gone you can build on your momentum.

7. Fun- Is your business giving you the profits and fulfillment you envisioned it would? Do you wake up in the morning excited with the prospect of what the day will bring and the passion you have for your business? When you think about your customers and clients does a big smile spread across your whole being? It is time to put fun back into your life and your business. Isn't that one of the reasons you started your own business in the first place? Using the principals above will help, investing in yourself and your vision of success will make it happen.
Tip! Choosing Free Will- Free will is about choosing to open your connection to Source or to pinch yourself off and be resistant to the brilliance of who you are. The simplest answer to ï¿½Howï¿½ you accomplish success is to say ï¿½Yesï¿½ to Source and allow the Law of Attraction to work with great abandon.

Tourist Attraction To-Be

2007-11-26T20:53:00.000-08:00

The spring is coming to Skopje. By and by, people are peeling of the layers of sweaters. Every second day or so during February, the sunlight displays Skopje in all its might, preparing everyone for the summer heat to come in only a few months. It is an old town, for sure. It has seen many people and cultures come and go. Since centuries ago, the city has growing around the bends of the Vardar River, which flows through a large part of Macedonia. Generations of people have seen empires come and go, as well as natural disasters that have laid the city in ruins. Still today one can see the traces left on purpose from the earthquake that struck the city in 1963. To do the old saying right, "Old leave room for new", that was also the point of renewal of the cityscape.

Time 05:17 am

In 1963 the city was the epicentre of a devastating earthquake which laid the entire area to rubble and caused around a thousand deaths and more than 120,000 homeless people. To mark the impact of nature's strike on Skopje, the old train station still stands as a silent monument. The clock on the front face of the building stopped at 05:17 am, the exact time of the earthquake. On the side of the same building is also painted a large statement from Tito, the president of the former Yugoslavia. The painted text tells of the efforts to be undertaken to rebuild the city, ".. Skopje was hit by an unseen catastrophy but will be rebuilt", while inserting some of socialistic pride, "It will become a pride of and symbol of fraternity and unity of the Yugoslavian and world solidarity". Today the Museum of Skopje can be found in this building, with various exhibitions throughout the year.
Tip! There are too many other tourist attractions to mention. But the above tourist information of Winchester should help to guide the first time visitor around the city.

International relief would assist in the reconstruction of the city, with money, supplies and personnel coming from 78 countries. The buildings hence erected have a distinct feeling of the 70'ies, with greyish white concrete rising high up into the sky. Today, new buildings spring up all over the more recent neighbourhoods of Skopje, while the old town, ‘staro Skopje' (old Skopje), stands as a reminder of what used to be. The most dominant buildings of the skyline today are clearly the concrete facades, though older 19th century buildings can still be found in the shadows.

Old Skopje Still Standing

In the beginning Skopje was actually named Scupi, an ancient tribal centre of Illyrian origin, a people that inhabitated the region during antique times. That was well before the Romans ruled the European continent and traces even survived the Roman empire. Traces of the language of Illyrian has been found in southeastern Italy as well as the eastern coastline of the Adriatic Sea. When Roman rule extended to the Balkans, Scupi was incorporated into the the Roman empire as a province. This happened rather late during the lifespan of the empire, in the 4th century B.C. Centuries of conquests followed, first with the Serbs entering the region in the end of the 12th century. Then two hundred years later, in 1392, the Turks conquered Macedonia and developed the town into an important commercial hub in the Ottoman empire. The city would remain under Ottoman rule over 600 years, until the Balkan wars in 1912 and 1913. Still today one can get glimpses of the long lost Ottoman empire. Whether it is the language, many daily used words have their origin in Turkish, or traces of the Ottoman inspired buildings. Such as the medieval Turkish inn Kuršumli Han. There are also numerous mosques spread throughout the older part of the city. The contemporary history of this city as a capital of Macedonia, with its melting pot of cultures, can be traced to the time of the Balkan wars.
Tip! There are many other tourist attraction in Winchester. There is Abbey House and gardens - a beautiful floral park that is also the setting of the mayor's official residence.

These wars concluded the rule of the Ottoman empire in Europe and the region which is Macedonia was divided between other Balkan countries. In 1913 Skopje was made part of Serbia and in the wake of the retreat of the Ottoman empire there were a lot of tensions. Tensions that resulted in World War I only after another year. After that war (to end all wars, as the dream was..) the it was incorporated with the federation of Yugoslavia. Not until after World War II, when the Bulgarians ended their occupation of the city in 1945, would Skopje become the capital of Macedonia.

Kale

One of the two most prominent buildings in Skopje is the old fortress Kale. To this day a park has survived, surrounded by a 120 meter long wall and two towers. Originally the ancient city Scupi was just there. As that city was destroyed, stone blocks became the building material for the fortress which ruins are still standing.

Close at hand from the fortress, is one of the oldest bridges still standing in Europe. The bridge connecting the old and more recent parts of Skopje is formidably placed beneath the ruins of Kale. The bridge was built in the 15th century during Ottoman rule. Today it is the connecting walking bridge between the old and new neighbourhoods of the city.

Mother, where art thou?

If you chance upon taking a strawl in downtown Skopje, amidst the more fashionable shops, bars and restaurants, you might pass the birthplace of no other than Mother Teresa. She was the founder of the Roman Catholic congregation "Order of the Missionaries of Charity", which is made out entirely of women who dedicate themselves to the poor.

At a corner of the town square sits a plaque by a patch of grass, whereupon is written that it was the place of the house where she was born in 1910. Following a street a few hundred metres a statue has been erected, where Mother Teresa can be seen as kneeling in prayer.

This city clearly is a place of mixture of old and new. For anyone interested in history, culture, monuments and diversity of city life, Skopje holds a great deal of interesting sights.

How To Plan A Car Show Attraction

2007-10-28T08:02:00.001-07:00

Antique classic cars, especially collector and specialty automobiles are a hot attraction for any event—whether indoor or outdoor. How do you get the cars to display? If you are a classic car club, members are happy to participate with their vintage rides. Another option is contributing a donation to a nonprofit car club for their service.

Main Attraction

These beautiful motorcars are show quality. So having a contact with a car club is essential. Individual clubs have different rules and regulations for displaying cars. If you are planning a classic car attraction, you should contact the car club as soon as you decide that you want to have a car show. Time is of the essence to work out the details, and get on their calendar, in the car show season. Prepare questions prior to making the call to appear organized and save time. Some frequently asked questions are:

* What is the donation amount for your service?
* How long can the cars be exhibited?
* How many cars will you bring?

A car show requires a large venue with sections for exhibitors, vendors and visitors parking. Overall, you will need an area big enough for everyone’s ease of movement and equipment storage.

Sub-Attractions

Some car show events feature the main attraction, which are the classic cars without considering sub-attractions such as:

* Disc Jockey and musicians
* Food and beverage vendors
* Swap meet exhibitors
* Children’s activities

Just think about it. A car show with just a main attraction could possibly be boring. A great attraction is built with layers such as automobiles for visual, food for smell, music for sound, and games for interactivity to stimulate visitors—all of which contribute to having a good time—and will make your car show much more attractive.

Women and Bad Boys: What Is The Attraction?

2007-10-28T08:01:00.001-07:00

"Bad Boys".

If you're a woman, you may be saying "hmmm" as you hear these words. You know you shouldn't, but you just can't help yourself.

There is just SOMETHING about these guys that draws you in, even as your head tells you to "beware"!

So, what exactly is the attraction? It's not necessarily that they are more physically attractive or smarter or more successful than the "nice guys". In fact, they can have fewer of these qualities, yet be harder to resist.

So what is it? Let's begin by defining these guys. This term is generally applied to males who treat women poorly. Do these behaviors ring a bell?

*calling at 8:30 on a Saturday night to ask if you want to get together

*not showing up for a date- followed by no phone call or apology

*never having any money when you are out

* forgetting or ignoring your birthday and other important dates

*flirting openly with other women when you are together

*hitting on your good friend(s)

*making booty calls at 1am, after they've had a night out with others

*is doing time for a serious felony

Instead of asking "what is it about these guys"; let's instead examine what it is about the women who can't resist them. The following are actual statements from women who have a history of attraction to these guys. See if any of these sound familiar.

* "It's never BORING with him. He's unpredictable and exciting."

* "He's strong, aggressive and self-assured; I feel safe with him."

* "It's not his fault; he's trying to get his life together."

* "I haven't met anyone else that makes me feel the way he does."

* "He's so charming and passionate."

* "He tells me how much he likes me, so he must really feel something for me."

* "He needs me."

* "He doesn't come across as needy and desperate."

* "I can't believe I've attracted someone like him."

Now, on the face of these, they seem pretty benign. We all seek at least some of these traits in the men we choose. So, where's the problem?

Essentially it's in his inability to meet the woman's fundamental needs. She is the one doing all (or most) of the giving. The question then lies in; "what's in it for her?"

The answer can be found by exploring three basic issues:

*level of self-esteem

*capacity for intimacy

*roles that she has been in throughout her life

If a woman feels good about herself, she chooses a mate who communicates both verbally and non-verbally to her that she is valued and respected. She won't allow this other person to undermine her positive self-worth. She believes in her ability to participate in a healthy, reciprocal relationship.

If she doesn't feel good about herself, she chooses someone who reinforces her negative self-beliefs.

If a woman is capable of true intimacy, she is open to the true availability of the other person. She wants him to be a full and active participant in the relationship. She can allow herself to be open, vulnerable and able to take as well as to receive all that true intimacy offers.

If intimacy is difficult, she choose someone who is distant, hard to connect with and not emotionally and/or physically available.

If a woman has had a healthy role in her relationships since childhood, she will choose someone with whom she can continue this healthy interaction.

If a woman has been too long in the role of rescuer, caregiver or the one who sacrifices for the good of others, this will probably be the role she will seek out in her relationships.

Fortunately, most women fall somewhere in between on these issues. So the task is to evaluate yourself in each area and decide on a course of action that will help you to choose a "nice guy", who stirs your senses and meets your needs while being truly available for a real relationship.

Begin with an assessment of what you value most in life and cannot live without.
