I found this fascinating quote recently by Dawn Todd, a brilliant, powerful woman and entrepreneur success coach who I’m working with as a volunteer for the Angel Capital Summit.
Prior to reading this and learning about Dawn, I’ve begun to apply intentional tactics to my business as well. Every time I got a result after thinking/intending it, I was almost surprised. However, the more I actually NOTED when I received something I asked for, the more it started happening.
It was all working well until I started getting thwarted by technology, wrestling with my computer, getting wildly frustrated, and out of my ‘power’. More and more terrible roadblocks were recently thrown my way, and the more I thought about them, the more they happened! Its a strange synchroncity because, just as I was in the thick of it, I read Dawn’s interview and realized that I might be the one causing more of these problems. And that’s all I needed to do to turn it around – change my thoughts. That’s why this resonated so much with me and why I felt I had to share it on my blog.
I’ll be posting more on this topic, so enjoy this and look for more in the future!
I had learned to become what I call “intentional”. No kidding, business would literally just fall in my lap if I thought about it long enough. I learned this technique from a friend of mine whose business was also booming. He told me that the human mind was like a pie and we all had a limited number of pieces of the pie. He showed me that our mind could only focus on a few things at once, but what we focused on we got. When our attention was on business development, business just showed up. When our attention became diverted into non-essential things, business would slow down. (ask me later what my friend’s KISS is)lindambhughes.com, Linda MB Hughes
