Law of Attraction

“You are what you believe in” and other well know clichés have gained the attention of business leaders as the Law of Attraction has seen a rise in awareness. Marketing professionals have subconsciously worked with laws of attraction as they implement concepts and strategies to build profits for companies. Business leaders are now seeing a correlation between their attitudes and the health of the company.

The Law of Attraction is a relatively simple concept. It simply implies that you attract toward you what you think about. Your dominate thoughts will manifest and move you. For example, have you driven down the road and fixated on an object in front of you. While your subconscious knew to avoid the object, did you find yourself driving directly for that targeted object?

As a business leader, do you have a target focus? Do you know who you need to attract to your business to achieve great sales, profits or exposure? While running a business of any size, if the leader of that organization does not have focus, direction or a purpose, then the business is not going to attract what it needs to succeed.

Are you a business owner who has been in business for a few years, not seeing great success with the business but enough to get by? Have you developed a negative attitude about the business, or are you skeptical of trying anything new since you have “done that already?” Do you realize that others involved with your business, whether employees, customers, contractors and so forth, take on your same attitude about the business whether you are verbalizing it or not? Being a business leader is a tremendous responsibility and the Law of Attraction applies to your leadership style.

Whether you believe in the Law of Attraction or not, as a leader in the business, you set the tone for all others to subscribe to. If you have a negative outlook, know that no one else who comes in contact with your business is going to have a higher opinion of the business than you. If think the world of your business and believe in it through the up and down cycles, then others around you will too.

In utilizing the law of attraction in your business’ marketing, the Small Business Trends Radio show suggests that you differentiate yourself from the rest. Think and believe of your business as sensational and dare to be different if you can. Being the same as everyone else does not draw the attention of new customers.

Secondly, becoming an expert within a niche in your industry will begin to attract the right types of customers for your business. This may not work for everyone, so analyzing your business within the market is needed. However; creating a niche for the business will attract new customers.

Lastly, capture your customers through entertainment. Speak to them emotionally, as people become less defensive when they have invested their emotions to the situation. Again, dare to be different if you can.

While psychologists and philosophers argue about the validity of the Law of Attraction, there are things you can do to lead your company in positive ways to attract the types of customers that will support your business venture. Ask yourself what you value, where your attitude lies with the company and what you can do different in marketing your company that will have impact on your business. Running a business is hard work, but it can be fun work. What are you going to do for yourself?
