Attract what you radiate, that is, positive (or negative) things. Sounds too good to be true, but it really is true according to the law of attraction. So how exactly does this law work and how can you harness it as an entrepreneur?
This is how the law of attraction works
I am far too down-to-earth for spiritual definitions. So let's make it down to earth but useful. The law of attraction assumes that the world is a kind of mirror for you. You get back what you radiate and expect. What you see often, you get more easily. And you can use that to achieve your goals. How you feel now is actually a sum of all your emotions, thoughts and words from the past. You put all of those on. Sometimes consciously, but in most cases unconsciously.
Why is this law so important?
So you can use this law as an entrepreneur, but also in your relationships, happiness and in money matters. So by changing your mindset, you can get what you want. If you focus on negative things and keep walking under a dark cloud, that cloud will not go away. But there is good news. If you focus on positive things and set goals, you will eventually achieve your goals. Because the universe is mapping out paths for you. Those paths were already there, but now you can see them, because you focus on them. It works like a magnet: focus on positivity and you attract it too. So this law is important because you can get what you want and it's not even that hard.
Applying the law of attraction
On the Internet you will find thousands of articles and step-by-step plans, as well as "fable or fact?" articles and spiritual journeys people take. As I said before, I want to make it simple and achievable. This is a simple roadmap to the law of attraction.
Look closely at your desires
Suppose you really want a new job. You want to start as an entrepreneur. Do you want to because you have a passion for entrepreneurship, have a good solution to a problem or want to help people? Totally fine. But ... you want to start as an entrepreneur because you're afraid the company you work for will go out of business, fall through or get fired? That's not right. Your desire is based on fear and that's not a good place to start. Very cliché but follow your heart and listen to your body and your intuition.
Meditate (baby steps)
In the book "Babe, you got this!" I read about meditating and it was also a hot topic at The Next Web Conference last year. I immersed myself in it. Since then I've been meditating 10 minutes a day and I have to say, it's great. Those 10 minutes really make a difference. 5 to 10 minutes is enough to practice visualizing your desires.
Be clear in what you want
You have looked well at your desires and you are meditating. Very good. Next step: formulate your message as clearly as possible. Pretend you are going to send your message to the universe. The clearer you have in front of you what you want, the more likely you are to actually get it back. I know it sounds crazy but it really can work!
Write down your wish
Write down what you really want and write it as if you already have it. Until you have it, close your eyes briefly every day and imagine that you already have it. There is no room for negativity and fear here. Also imagine how you feel when your wish has come true. What emotions does this evoke? This can really help you get what you want.
Be patient
I can hear my mother saying, "Patience is a virtue." It really is. It's not a wishing well or St. Nicholas wish list. Be patient and grateful for what you have already been given. Keep that positive mindset in mind. Is your wish not coming true right away or does it all seem to be going the other way? Don't panic, have faith; it really will work out, even if it might take a little longer!
