The Law of Attraction Works in Business, Too

Oprah talks often of the secret law of attraction. Singles looking for love, for example, work on the physical, emotional and mental aspects of the law of attraction to get a new partner. The whole world went crazy over the 2006 book by Rhonda Byrne called The Secret, which again heralded the law of attraction.

In fact, the law of attraction is no secret. For centuries, great minds have been writing about and talking about the power of the mind to attract what it thinks about. From Jesus to the Buddha and Confucius, the notion has been in play through all major religions and spiritual paths.

In Business as In Life

Too often, though, we categorize and compartmentalize our lives into different, disparate boxes. And twain they all shall not meet. Spirituality is for Sundays, yoga classes and early morning meditations. Family gets the evenings and weekends, when possible. Friends get fit into social boxes of varying colors. And of course — business is business, and it fills up the rest of the calendar.

If, however, we combine all the boxes into one big present called “life,” we can employ the metaphysical laws of the universe just as swiftly and effectively as we apply the physical laws. Gravity, for example, crosses all borders of life and keeps us connected to the earth. The human body requires fuel to exist, regardless whether it spends most of its time in church, at home or in the office.

Good Clients Don’t Grow on Trees

If you want to build a business that serves good customers who pay their bills on time (or pay them at all), who meet agreed-upon commitments and who give you honest feedback, the law of attraction requires you to be an honest business person. When you charge a fair price, meet promised deadlines and provide a quality work product, you’re more likely to attract the same.

Just as the single gal who wants a loyal husband must first become a loyal partner herself, so you, as a business owner, must first become the customer you hope to attract. That’s the law. Just as gravity keeps your chair firmly planted on the floor, so the customers you attract reflect the kind of business person you are.

How to Apply the Law of Attraction in Business

Many of the same steps that you employ in your religion, family and social interactions also work well in business. And the law of attraction is no different. It all begins in your mind. What your mind can conceive, you can achieve.

Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich in 1937. By 2015, more than 30 million copies had been sold. And it’s just as relevant today as it was groundbreaking then. It’s all about your thinking. So be careful what you spend your days thinking about, because just as sure as the sun rises each new day, you will invoke the law of attraction to bring into your business the sunshine — or darkness — that you’ve spent your days mulling over.

Do It Now

To help, if you haven’t yet heard “the secret,” or have forgotten its power, here are a few concrete steps to get you back into the positive stream of consciousness required for success:

• Make every thought count. Right now, change your mind. You can’t afford to let any negative thoughts intrude, especially when you’re really making an effort to attract new, quality business clients.
• See the future. Visualize clearly what your business looks like when it’s running efficiently and when you and your entire team are happy and prosperous. Picture what your office looks like, imagine your bank account overflowing and see your clients just as pleased as you are.
• Give thanks for your success. Gratitude speaks volumes about your attitude. Be grateful for the success that is yours for the taking — or attracting. When you give thanks as if it’s already happened, then the universe must comply.
• Fill your open slots with positive people. As the owner or manager, you have the power to surround yourself with positive thinkers. Give those Negative Nellies a chance to change their ways or let them go find their own kind if they refuse to get on the law of attraction train you have set in motion for your company’s success.
• Write down your goals as if they’ve already happened. Make sure you include a timeline. Think of it as your diary for success.
• Post affirmations around your office. They’ll remind you of the law of attraction and the power of your thoughts. They’ll help you channel your thoughts toward positive reinforcement and future achievement.
• Sign up for positive emails. When you surround yourself with positive thoughts and vibrations, your mind stays focused and your will, with the universe’s help, makes your positive thoughts come true. Set reminders on your calendar to think and grow rich!
