Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out. – Norman Vincent Peale

Is it possible to attract business success using the Law of Attraction? You better believe it. I am not even referring to the popular movie, which discusses the Law of Attraction. Many claim to follow the basic concept of attraction on a daily basis—and swear by it.

I have noticed that when I hold a negative feeling and feel down in the dumps, my business slumps accordingly. On the other hand, when I feel great and practice a high level of positive energy... more positive things happen in my business climate. Sounds quite simple and seems to make sense, but there are only a very few individuals out there who truly exude a positive state of mind, everyday and all day.

This seems almost impossible, but I can assure you the positive energies will bring success to your business and the negative energies will prove harmful to your business or job. Do not let the negative stuff creep in. Just as in our personal lives, it will find a way, and you as a business professional, must take the responsibility to weed it out and/or create a personal firewall to block it out. Negativity is a cancer and it will take over years of positive work in warp speed.

The truth of the matter is, the people who find your business and walk through the door are all a vibrational match to you. If you feel great and practice a high vibration for long periods of time, you won’t be able to attract someone with an opposite vibration, according to the law of attraction. The following are seven steps that you can try on your journey to achieving a more positive job or company atmosphere.

1. Believe
2. Visualize
3. Implement
4. Practice
5. Execute
6. Measure your results and build on them
7. Practice some more

Many entrepreneurs have said in the past that the mood and actions of the owner of the company dramatically affect the people who work under them. Positive leaders will attract positive employees.

The next time you want something to happen in your business that isn’t already happening, try feeling good and practice that feeling every single day. You’ll be amazed at the results, and your business or job will flourish beyond your expectations. Right now, and more than ever, we need positive thinkers and doers. Stay strong and think positive.

This is wise business. As always, it is my pleasure to give back to Maui through business education.
