If youre struggling to bring new business through the door, thats the first mistake youre making! Struggle does NOT lead to success. Whether its more clients, contracts, or sales your business needs now, invest two minutes to learn a three step process that will immediately shift your experience. Prepare for dramatic change, because this works fast! 1. Get clear about what you want. Might seem obvious, but dont miss this crucial first step: know what you want with crystal clarity. More clients could be satisfied by just one new client this month is that really what you want? Maybe you need six new sales a month to meet your target; or perhaps its $50,000 in weekly revenue. Maybe its a combination of metrics. Whatever it is, get it firmly in mind. Many business owners I work with have reached the point of desperation to where theyre scrambling for anything. When thats what youve got in mind, thats what you get. Dont make this mistake. Get crystal clear and confident about what you want. And make it good, because youre going to get it! Your goal should feel like a good stretch not so easy that it doesnt excite you to think about it, and not so big that youre discouraged before you even start. 2. Put your attention there. This is the most common mistake people make. We think about what we dont want, in the form of worry and stress. Because we get what we think about, keeping attention on the end result is essential to achieving it. So stop dwelling on what might happen if things dont improve. Give up the mental rehearsal for failure. Instead, hold expectations of improvement and success. Imagine how fabulous youll feel when things are going exactly as you dreamed! Pretend its already happened, as a matter of fact. Act as if youre already the success story of the year! Feel how relaxed, peaceful, energized, or excited you will be when youre getting exactly what you want. 3. Do what feels good. This is the other key to getting what we want that most people dont practice. The more anxious we are to create success, the more we enter a frantic state of busy action. Most of our time is spent scrambling on how to make things happen, and we dont make it a priority to relax and feel good. Its counterintuitive to most business owners! The worse things get, the busier we believe we should be in order to turn it around. But relaxing is exactly what you must do. Feel good! Find something to enjoy. Nothing good happens when you dont feel good yourself. Take the scenic drive to work; treat yourself to a nice lunch; listen to music that lifts you up. It doesnt have to be big, but you do need to do something that feels good every day. Letting go of stress, worry and anxiety will not sabotage your motivation to succeed. Rather, it invites and allows success into your world. Remember, your thoughts direct your success. We create the experience through the vibration of our feelings. By following this three step process, youll turn things around in no time. You can count on it! |
