How to Develop a Habit of Conscious Attraction

Wednesday, 8. December 2010 10:45

Law of Attraction says what we experience in life is largely due to how we think about life.  As Success Mentor Zig Ziglar put it,

“It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.”

And Wayne Dyer said, “”The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.”

If you have noticed that bad things keep happening to you, or that good things keep not happening to you, the culprit is your attitude of thought.  These days it’s easy to blame the economy, the radical changes in technology, and other issues facing the world, for our personal challenges.

But the fact is that some will thrive during challenging times, and some will not. Why is that?

The difference between the two groups is one will think about what they want and the other will think about what they don’t want.  Both are using the power of attraction, but one is using it consciously toward their betterment and the other is unconsciously focusing on what’s wrong.

The key to attracting what you want no matter what is happening to the economy or the world is focusing on what you want with positive expectation. And I would add, stubbornly focusing on what you want despite the latest bad news or hard times hitting others in your line of sight. Get Help Here

Can we stop focusing on the problem and still solve it? The challenge is that we have developed a habit of thinking about, talking about, commiserating over, and trying to fix our problems; and that will only cause our problems to grow.

We need to develop a habit of conscious attraction, one that is focused on our goals, dreams and aspirations. When something challenging occurs in our circumstance (we are after all humans on the planet Earth… stuff happens) we need to habitually focus on the solution, the upside, the silver lining, and remain centered in our belief in well-being. This will bring all manner of positive people, opportunities, and ideas to us that will continually help us move forward rather than being sucked down into the morass of self-pity, suffering, and failure.

So how can we develop a habit of conscious attraction? Many say that it takes 40 days to create a new habit.  If we do something every day for 40 days, it will become an integral part of our lives. Therefore, I recommend creating your Attraction Plan and refining it for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night every day for 40 days. The key is to notice where your mind takes you down a dark path, and then create an opposite scenario for your Attraction Plan that allows you to think of your problem in a new way.

This is challenging to do on your own, which is why I have created the 40 day program, “Client Attraction Breakthrough: How to Attract Clients Fast in Any Economy” starting this Friday, and I’ve slashed the price on this program by more than 1/2 since I offered it last year, only $101 instead of $249 which was the price for last year’s group.

TESTIMONIALS
Here are some of the comments from my previous Client Attraction Breakthrough Groups about the success they attracted through this program:

Delightful Success is my experience from the continunation of reviewing my Client Attraction Breakthrough Plan. I add to my understanding Daily and feel inspired with the direction I am guided to with this practice. This brings me new joy in my business!Laura Mathieson

“My wonderful new client who adores me is paying me another month in advance, so two months total! Thank you & mille grazie, Julia & my SAP!” Christine Heuber

“This message is to let you all know that I will not be able to attend next week’s Attraction class. On Friday, I was offered an opportunity which I believe supports and aligns with my personal desires at least for the next few years! Thanks for your support.” Cynthia Isaac

“Part of taking my life to another level involves my personal growth in the arena of integrating this new marketing paradigm with the principles of the attraction plan. Again, thank you Julia, and thank you all in the group for being such wonderful catalysts for my growth. It is empowering and encouraging to know I am not ALONE on the journey.” Lynette Streeter

If you would like to join us and receive support for developing a habit of conscious attraction, CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE AND REGISTER.  Client Attraction Breakthrough is offered as part one of my Magical Marketing Series and starts on Friday, December 10th at Noon PT.

Will They Recognize You When They Find You?

Monday, 29. November 2010 10:10

The world is filled with hypey marketing messages that have nothing to do with the truth. in fact, most marketing mentors will tell you to market in ways that are 'traditional', 'professional' and frankly, boring! So it's no wonder that when Conscious Entrepreneurs head out to market their businesses, they often make the mistake of following tradition and including hype in their marketing because they were told that's the way to attract customers. And the problem with this approach is that their perfect customers will never recognize them this way.

The Law of Attraction says, "Like Attracts Like." So your perfect customers are like you, and they want the real you to shine through.  When you shine your true authentic beauty to the world, you give your perfect customers the permission to do the same, and they will invite you to help them.  But when you use traditional marketing methods, you appear like a robot, blending in to the crowd, never standing out.

What exactly is hype? 
  • Hype is what we say when we're trying to put a smiley face over the truth.
  • Hype is what we do when we're afraid our authentic selves are not good enough.
  • Hype is what we write when we are copying someone else's sales letters.
  • Hype is what we wear when we think we have to fit in with the crowd.
  • Hype is salesy, smarmy and fake!
How can your perfect customers ever recognize you as the one they're seeking if you are faking it in any way? 

Imagine your most perfect customer right now.  Get a good picture of them in your mind.  These are folks who really get you, your uniqueness, your inner beauty and magic.  These people want only you because you are the only one with your special gift, your own approach to solving the problems your customer has.

Now imagine if you are copying someone else's sales letter, or using a design scheme that doesn't reflect your personality at all.  Can you see your perfect customers getting confused and passing you by?  Can you see how exactly the wrong people will be attracted to you?


So how to avoid hype and market authentically?

First, when you are writing your sales copy, blog posts, newsletters and other marketing pieces, write from the heart about what is most important to you and your business.  Share authentically about your true purpose in life and direct your sharing to your perfect customers.  Don't try to attract everyone, only those who will really get you and appreciate your special approach.

Secondly, use imagery that feels resonant to you, that reflects your personality.  Pictures can be the most powerful magnet that draws the perfect people to you.  When you choose imagery that opens your heart and gives you happy shivers, you know you have found the right ones. When your perfect customers see that, they will be intuitively drawn to you.

Third, be yourself.  Don't try to 'act professionally' if that means holding in who you really are.  Speak frankly, say what's on your mind, distinguish yourself from the crowd.  Blending in is not helping your brand.  A good brand stands out.

How Authentic Should Authentic Marketing Be?

Wednesday, 6. October 2010 16:49

People have been asking me this question for a long while, “How authentic should authentic marketing be?” And I always come up with the same answer, “As authentic as possible.” But what does that really mean?

There are a lot of reasons to be authentic in your marketing, mostly because being any other way is torture and doesn’t attract the right customers. But people often want to know:

  • Do I share everything about my private life?
  • Should I reveal my business mistakes?
  • Is it ever appropriate to reveal my political or spiritual beliefs?

These are pertinent questions, and there is no one right answer. It really does depend on you, your personality, your business, your audience… such a number of things.

That’s why I emphasize that by having the right attitude toward your marketing, your authentic self will shine through and you’ll easily answer these questions for yourself.

Here are 3 key attitudes to adopt when creating your authentic marketing.

Attitude #1: I trust my true self is attractive to my perfect customers.

The first attitude is all about understanding how the Law of Attraction works and relaxing into your true power. When we understand that like attracts like, and that what makes us and our perfect customers tick is aligned, then being ourselves becomes the practical solution to attracting the right people.

Attitude #2: When I feel good, I’m more attractive (and I feel good!)

The second attitude is all about feeling good. The better we feel the more attractive we are to others, especially others who also feel good. When we understand this

Attitude #3: I know what’s right for my business.

The third attitude is trusting your own knowledge and intuition about your business. When you have this attitude, you can listen to the advice of others without being pulled off your center and thrown into confusion and procrastination. Then you can implement what makes sense to you and leave the rest.

When you feel good, trust in your attractive true self, and are confident about your business, then making decisions about what to share and what to keep private comes naturally and easily.

PS: My answers to the 3 questions above would be No (be selective about what to share – use your intuition), Yes (show yourself as a real human being like Bush refused to!) and Yes (see answer to #2)

3 Keys to Making Marketing FUN!

Tuesday, 21. September 2010 4:31

One thing my peeps tell me time and again is that they hate marketing, it’s a drag, they feel overwhelmed, and it’s not at all fun! Since part of my business mission is to help conscious entrepreneurs to create a marketing plan that is fun, fulfilling and sustainable, it hurts to see so many of you suffering over your marketing. So in effort to aleviate your pain, here are some essential keys to making marketing fun.

First Key: Share What’s Most Important to You in Your Marketing!

One reason marketing is such a drag to many people is that they are using outdated marketing techniques that feel alienating, embarrassing, and hypey, including using scripts written by others (ie mentors), competitive language, and fear mongering. Authentic marketing is more effective for attracting perfect customers, so you want to dive into your soul and discover what’s most important to you. Write blog posts, ezine letters, or website copy that reflects your passion.

Second Key: Connect with Perfect Peeps that You Love!

Marketing is a hassle when you don’t like the people you are marketing to. It seems obvious but I remember a time when I was so nervous to go to networking events because I didn’t like anyone there! Finally it dawned on me I should network with people I like. Then I’m much more bubbly, happy, smiley, and attractive! To attract more folks I like, I use the Attraction Plan and clarify who I want to attract

Third Key: Do What Brings You Joy!

I am always looking for ways to integrate what I love to do with marketing. One of my favorite things is to wander around Sebastopol placing my post cards, brochures and/or fliers arond in cafe’s and on bulletin boards around town. I also meet and greet with local conscious entrepreneurs to expand my local network, and I love attending business breakfasts with other local entrepreneurs (ones I like!) When I am happy and uplifted, I am a magnet for what I want in my life.

When I’m having fun, I’m more likely to attract my perfect customers! Please share what you love to by commenting to this post and if you have questions about how to market yourself while you’re doing it, I’ll answer!
