Everyone has heard about The Secret, world-renowned book and movie that shows you how to attract what you want into your life. As you immerse yourself in busy, frantic schedules you sometimes don’t have time to stop and breathe. When you first meet people, you might walk away from a conversation because you think that person was rude and dominated the conversation.
Do you realize that the person you met is a direct reflection of who you really are? You may be just as rude and dominating as the person you just met.
Have you ever been in a bad relationship and wondered: how did I end up with this person? This is not the person I wanted to attract. However, you did attract that person.
The laws of attraction are simple – who and what you attract is WHO you really are. This same principle applies to networking and how you can attract that perfect client that resonates with who you are. What you put out there to people is what you will get back in return.
Ask yourself the following questions:
• Are you negative and critical?
• Are you the first one to make crass, pessimistic comments?
• Do you complain about your life and have a “poor me” attitude?
• Do you feel that everyone is out to get you – customers, colleagues, etc.?
If you find yourself answering “yes” to these questions, then it’s time to re-evaluate your own attitudes and how you view yourself. If you approach life in a critical, negative way, you will attract negative and unhappy people into your business and your life.
Think about your current clients and customers.
• What do you like about them?
• What do you dislike about them?
• Have you accepted clients that you didn’t like and felt they would be more hassle than they were worth?
Even though the economy is tough right now and you can’t afford to turn away clients, it’s important to listen to your initial gut instinct when you meet people. Here are some easy rules to follow to attract positive, helpful people into your networking circle:
• Do not surround yourself with people who bring you down or lower your self-esteem. Interact with positive, energetic people. Feed off their positive energy which only fuels productivity. Being around negative, pessimistic people will only reinforce negative thoughts and destructive behaviors.
• If you want to attract trustworthy clients and business partners, then practice what you preach. Be a good role model to others and they will take your ethical lead.
• Think more about others and less about yourself - show appreciation for the kind, caring people in your life.
• List the positive qualities and traits you like in others - send out that message by verbalizing the list out loud or writing the list on a piece of paper. Share that message to the world that you only want to attract positive people into your business.
Remember that you need to first make changes with yourself. Stop blaming others for what you don’t have in your life. If you are positive and happy, you will attract positive people into your life – the right people to help you achieve success!
