Alternative to LoA -- The Law of Attainment (instead of Attraction)

2/15/2019

 
I like to rib the Law of Attraction because so many of us have tried it and it hasn’t worked (even though we secretly hope that maybe it will work eventually). 

I actually do believe that LoA works, but not for financial success, because there’s usually too much fantasy and wishful thinking, and nowhere near enough action. In my experience, it can work for attracting a good relationship, especially when used for inner characteristics (I want a partner with a particular kind of energy).

For business and financial success, what I propose instead is The Law of Attainment. 

Here are the 4 steps:

Authentic Marketing: hold loosely to agenda

2/12/2019

 
I’ve been thinking about the agenda that many marketers have...
  • Grab your attention with compelling headlines
  • Get you on their email list (often with an “ethical bribe”)
  • Move you through their funnel toward buying
  • Keep following up until you buy
  • Compel you to buy more stuff
  • Incentivize you to refer them to even more buyers

7 reasons that people buy (build these into your offerings)

To have your authentic business be financially successful, you need to learn how to frame your offerings (products/services) in a way that is resonant with your ideal audience.

We keep hearing about this because it works -- people do spend money to resolve pain. However, we authentic business owners don’t like to stoke people’s pain!

Thankfully, there are 6 other factors we can use to make our offerings more interesting...

You don’t have to be a great writer.

You don’t have to make amazing videos.

What is needed to be outstanding in a saturated online marketplace? 

Care more than others are willing to care.

Do you care enough to show up?

Do you care enough to risk embarrassment, silence, or criticism? If you don't really care, then you will do what everyone else does: stay quiet, not produce enough content, and give into your fear more than your love.

​Do Your Work from an Inner Spark of Joy.

1/29/2019

 
Today, your work, your tasks, are not your top priority.

Your state is your top priority.

How are you being, as you go about your tasks and your work?


Are you harried, anxious, struggling, and “just want to get it done”?

​The quality of your work tends to match the quality of your being.
