THE POWER OF FOCUS IN YOUR
HOME-BASED BUSINESS
By Sue Stebbins from Self Growth.com
The recent media buzz about 'The Secret' has entrepreneurs asking, "How can I put the Law of Attraction principle to work for me in my business?" It's all about the power of focus. As home-based business owners, network marketers, or coaches, you are often reminded of the importance of goal setting. You already know that goals should be SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. So, how does all of that detail relate to using the law of attraction to manifest massive results in your business, beyond what your efforts have created thus far?
The good news is, if you are clear about your business goals, your task is half completed. To really put the power of focus to work for you, you will need to begin asking yourself some probing, insightful and imaginative questions:
- Who will I BE when I achieve this goal?
- What will I HAVE when I achieve this goal?
- What things will I DO when I achieve this goal?
You need to feel and really focus on what it would be like to have already achieved your goal! Will you feel exhilarated? Enthused? Satisfied? Peaceful? Joyous? Free?
Who will you "be" when this goal is achieved? Will you be successful? Respected? Loved? Admired? Generous?
What "things: or circumstances do you imagine surrounding yourself with as you achieve this goal? Will you drive a finer vehicle? Move to a larger home in a lovely neighborhood? Treat yourself to weekly bodywork sessions?
And what will you be DOING differently as you achieve this goal? Travel more often? Spend more quality time with family and friends? Express a hidden talent?
The law of attraction, at it's essence, states that the dominant focus of your thoughts and emotions is what you will attract. Recognizing the power of focus is key to understanding the relationship between your thoughts and your ability to manifest your desires, whether they are business goals, relationships, or travel plans.
Identifying your goal is a commendable and key initial step, but to use the law of attraction you must engage focus - the feeling power of your imagination. You must be able to see, hear, touch, taste, and inhale the fragrance of the achievement of your goals.
Once you have committed your goals to paper, you are already in a 3% minority, as compared to a vast majority who do not have any written goals. Your next step, actively focusing on the end feeling of your goal, places you among the very few. This is the place in the "manifesting your dreams" process where business-minded people often falter; since you've been trained to foresee every possibility in order to formulate contingency plans for your business, your focus may frequently be dominated by "what if's" of the negative variety.
- "What if I don't sell my quota this month?"
- "What if don't reach director status this quarter?"
- "What if I can't generate enough income from my coaching clients?"
- "What if I don't have enough projects to keep me busy?"
