How to Use the Law of Attraction to Find Success in Your Business
When we talk about successful businesses or about successful individuals, there’s always a little something about the story that just isn’t formulaic. Success doesn’t always follow just from following all of the right steps. For some, there’s quite a bit of luck involved. For others, another thing plays an important role: the law of attraction.
The law of attraction is the idea that thoughts affect outcomes. Positive thoughts attract positive outcomes, negative attracts negative, etc. For many, this is a concept that works well with their religion or their spirituality. For many others, it has more to do with psychology. For me and you, though, let’s talk about what it has to do with business.
Attraction as a mindset
Whatever your explanation for how your thoughts connect with your reality might be, the practice ends up being similar. Keeping thoughts about attracting the right clients, making the right connections, and finding success in your business will push you towards those outcomes. Filling your head with negative thoughts, however, can attract the opposite.
On a practical level, just think about what both of these mindsets do for you and your morale. You’re working towards the positive outcomes, and so they should be your motivation. Filling your head with negative thoughts will just leave you anxious and blocked, preoccupying you more with what shouldn’t happen rather than what you should be doing to find success. Even without getting the universe and spirituality involved, positive attracts positive!
Understanding the feeling
Another way to think about the law of attraction in a business setting is understanding what attraction and success feel like. More than “manifesting” outcomes with your thoughts, there’s something you can feel in your gut when things are going the right way. Success has a feeling, and I’m sure it’s one that you’ve felt before.
Whether it’s the universe telling you or just your own past experiences, being able to tell that good feeling apart from a bad feeling can be a good sign as to whether you’re on the path towards success or whether you need to change some things up. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s probably for a reason.
The art of allowing
Finally, the law of attraction implies that good things will come when it’s time for them to come. This doesn’t mean that no hard work is needed by any stretch, but especially for workaholics and go-getters, it does mean learning to take some time and let things play out. If you’ve put in the work, taken the right classes, and laid out all your cards, you can’t then force the outcome as well. There’s a point where you have to step back and let the good things play out. Let the law of attraction work.
This can be a tough line to walk, especially for people who like to be on top of everything. At the end of the day, however, from rain to wind and sunshine, letting things play out is just the way the world works.
