STOP! Don't Take Action

Yes, it’s true. I seem to attract clients with issues similar to those I’ve experienced in the past or am experiencing to some degree now. It’s a great mirror and provides me with much insight. The issue I’ve been noticing over and over this last year is addiction to action. And believe me, it’s an addiction.

I’m not against action. I love it! I thrive on it when I’m being deliberate and grounded. It feels good. Taking action is a fundamental piece of using the Law of Attraction. Taking actions that you enjoy makes the difference between you having health, happiness and abundance or not! The kind of action that is addicting is precisely the kind that doesn’t work. It actually becomes a roadblock to the things you desire most.

If you have a desire that you’ve been working on and it’s not manifesting . . . listen up. When you take action while your brain is in doubt about the outcome or you are frustrated, you are wasting your efforts. If you find yourself pushing through something . . . STOP! You have to align your thoughts with the outcome first. This is so important!
Note to self: Alignment before action is key!

I have a client who is quite skilled in his profession. Tim’s clients get great results from his services and yet his business was not generating the profits he desired. He was a hard worker who prided himself on taking the “right” actions. Tim did exactly what the experts advised when it came to optimizing his website. Still, sales did not increase. Why?
Tim had not changed his thoughts during the process. He held a firm belief that he always had to struggle to get results. He could have taken action until he gave himself a heart attack and not manifested higher profits. Tim finally stopped himself long enough to shake off his Gremlins and align his thoughts with success. Then he saw a difference in his income. Many times his clients came with no new actions at all.

Before you start down the path of going after any goal or desire, take the time to get your thoughts and focus dialed in. Don’t make a move until you feel great about your desired end result.

Butterflies in your stomach are okay as long as the passion and belief are in place.
When I began skydiving it took fifty jumps before the butterflies weren’t present on the plane ride up to 14,000 feet. But I always had my focus on soaring like a playful angel through the sky.
If I had thought my safety was truly in jeopardy I would not have jumped. I might have attracted a parachute malfunction from that feeling and been too nervous to correct it or had a hard landing that resulted in injuries.

A quick way to align your energy is to envision yourself in the middle of experiencing your desire. If your desire is to be in a loving relationship, see yourself being held or connecting heart to heart with your mate. It may take more than a few moments or days to get your brain settled into trusting that you are worthy of your desire. Be easy on yourself. The time you spend aligning before taking action is worth its weight in gold.

Advertisement that sales - Plan your marketing programme. It should include commitment to capital resources. If you run a small business, you aren't likely to have a generous enough advertising budget that will allow you to run costly branding or campaign ads. Every advertisement you run must convey to your prospect a solid offer and attractive reasons to act quickly, and result in increased sales and an enhanced image of your company. Good advertising always pays its own way through increased sales and profits, improved cost-effectiveness, reduced selling costs and shortened selling cycles. A useful formula that will help you increase the effectiveness of your advertising efforts is A-I-D-A, which stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. When creating an advertisement, always remind yourself that it should: (1) capture your prospects' Attention, (2) arouse their Interest in your offer, (3) create their Desire for your product or service, and (4) provide a powerful spur to Action, that is, turn your prospect into buyers. Remember, bad advertising is an unproductive expense, and good advertising is an investment in future profits!
