Quantum Success Thinking

It sounds simple- right? You are where you THINK you are! And it is simple but do we practice it? Of course we are where we think we are! The question is where do YOU think you are?

It's a principle I talk about all the time. Everything we do, we create in our minds before we do anything. The cars we drive, the house we live in all began as a thought in someone's mind. Our minds are incredible tools, machines that are efficient and creative. But did you know that all the things we do, even things as simple as tying our shoes, our brain completes before we do them. It may be as simple as your brain replaying the tape that tells you how to tie your shoe, that we do not notice playing in the background of our consciousness. It is simple. We manifest what we think.

How often have you struggled on your journey to reach a goal or a dream? Many of us spend time planning how we will achieve our 'success'. And we trudge on, keeping our eye on the goal, or the reward of reaching the goal. We make progress, year after year we get closer and closer. However, what we do not realize is that instead of spending so much time concentrating on what is going on around us in each small situation, we need to realize and see that what we want to become we already are. And wherever we want to go, we are already there.

"I want to open a chapel where I can perform marriage ceremonies in a non-denominational setting that is serene and beautiful, and reminds people of their creator", is what my friend told me. We talked for a while about where she wanted to be. Then I looked her right in the eye and told her, "You are already there." She looked at me at first in disbelief. She told me she could see the place in her mind, she could smell it, feel the breeze outside the chapel. There was no doubt she had achieved the visualization part. However, visualization is only part of it. What she needed to do, was to involve her belief.

And so I repeated to her, "You are already there." We are where we believe we are. She continued to look at me and I could see her eyes well up with tears. She was quiet. She looked at me with the amazement and finally said, "I am! You are right I am already there." It is her belief that she is already there that will set into motion all the things that need to happen for her to 'be there'.

In reality what happens here, is we place ourselves in our minds somewhere ahead of ourselves in reality. The universe will provide for us. And it will. However if we are already there- the universe needs to catch up. If we are there in our minds, and we have completed the journey, then the present time has to catch up with us. Things begin to fall into place that got us to where we already believe we are. In a way it is like time travel, or quantum physics. But don't let those thoughts complicate things.

It really is simple. We manifest what we think. If you think and believe you have reached your destination, you will be amazed to see how you really have. Don't let yourself get caught up in the daily trials and tribulations and the struggles of the journey. They have already been taken care of. Begin to see what you are in the future, and you cannot help but manifest the behaviours that got you there! Now that is quantum success thinking!

"To fly as fast as thought, to be anywhere there is, you must first begin by knowing you are already there." â€" Fletcher Bird from Jonathon Livingston Seagull (Richard Bach)

Networking For Success

Business networking is a powerful way to promote your business. Meeting other business people is an essential part of building your own enterprise. Businesses thrive when partnering with others and business networking allows you to do this. No man/woman is an island and the same applies to your business. Alliances and partnerships will allow your company to grow and expand. Plus you will gain new clients and customers when you network.

Where can you network? Here are a few places:

* Seminars

* Meetings

* Social gatherings

* Business forums and networks.

Seminars are a good way to network, as you will meet others who are interested in business. These people who come to learn can be good candidates for your product/service. Learn how to approach others and make conversation before mentioning your product/service, so that you can access whether they will be interested. Always attend Seminars that will attract your targeted market.

Business meetings: When you meet people from other businesses you can mingle with them and check out business partners and possible customers. Business to business is a powerful way to network.

Social gatherings: You will be surprised how many people are interested in business and would love to start their own if they only knew how. By making conversation and discussion you can find out if someone would be interested in your product/service.

Business forums and networks: You cannot openly advertise in forums but you can always leave your "business card" or sig. Usually your name and website URL. Be active answer questions (establish your credibility) and ask questions (other peoples' opinions can be very valuable.) You will become well known and other members of the forum will check out your website and even join your newsletter. These are highly targeted and valuable prospects.

When you attend functions, like Seminars and meetings you not only bring your business card but also usually wear a name badge. Often these are paper or pinned on. A nice reflection on you and your company is to wear a magnetic name badge. You can customize them with your company logo and they will look better than the conventional paper and pinned variety. They add class and distinction to your image, increasing the credibility of you and your company. You can make them unique and original using them as a good conversational piece or "ice breaker." Magnetic badges can be a distinctive way to introduce yourself in any business function.

Never underestimate the power of socializing in business. You learn new ideas from others in your industry and become know as an expert in your field. Both these business tactics can lead to long lasting relationships and new customers.
