Unless, that is, you combine it with the Law of Action.

The movie, “The Secret” was both a blessing and a curse to the Quantum Physics and spiritual community alike. On one hand it raised some much needed awareness on the concept that the universe is abundant and magnificent; that anything that we want for ourselves and our lives is, indeed available to us. But what “The Secret” failed to reveal is how we actually turn what we want in to what we have.

Why am I writing about the Law of Attraction in a business blog?

Whether you want a new porsche or to increase your sales by 50%, you must start with a clear precise vision of exactly what you want and then you must build a strategy in order to acheive that goal.

One of the most popular observations I make watching small business owners is the never-ending spiral of trivial activities that they undertake day after day after day.  Though most of these seem important and URGENT at the time, most are low leverage, meaning in six months it wouldn’t have made a difference whether they were done or not.  We seem to focus on the trivial many versus the critical few.

Before you start another day in this overwhelm consider how the 80/20 rule plays a role in your business.  The Italian economist taught us that 80% of the affects come from 20% of the causes.  While you probably can already confirm that 80% of the time you wear only 20% of the clothes in your closet,  consider that 80% of your results are coming from 20% of your activities in your business.  So what are those activities?  Most likely they are one of three things:  attracting more clients, generating more revenue from existing clients or increasing profit margins.  Start looking at your moment to moment activities and question yourself on their impact.  By the way, you might also find that 80% of your sales are coming from 20% of your clients.
