The Law of Attraction and Marketing
Posted on February 3, 2008 - Filed Under General, Marketing Sites |
Jenn Givler over at Create a Thriving Business had an interesting post about the Law of Attraction. Jenn credits Mark Silver with his post about the same subject that made her think. So I am passing on the credit to the two of them for my thoughts on this post!
I’ve been reading about the Law of Attraction and trying to practice it for a few years. I’m not always good about remembering it.
Very often those who are new to the Law think that the Law of Attraction means that you visualize something you want and if you do that well enough, your desire will come to you. Few people get results when they try and implement the Law in this manner. I think that if you want something, you get very excited about it and act that way. Excitement manifests differently for everyone, but excitement is contagious.
If I want to be a successful acupuncturist with lots of patients, then wouldn’t I talk about that with the people I meet? Wouldn’t I start telling the lady in front of me at the grocer who complains of chronic headaches that acupuncture might help her? Wouldn’t I be fishing out my card because I’m excited to see her? Don’t I get excited to talk to anyone who asks about what I do? If I’m that excited about what I do, isn’t it possible that I’ll have more patients?
If I’m not outgoing and that’s too scary, won’t I at least be working at home on writing up flyers to tell people in words? If I’m not a writer either, maybe I’m looking around for someone who can write and design brochures for me. Maybe I can focus on creating dream patients who tell the world about everything they love and insist all their friends try it out. Maybe I start thinking about where people like that might hang out so that I can get cards or brochures to those places.
I have to ask the question, if you insist that you are excited about your business why wouldn’t you be doing those things? Why are you sitting around doing something else and not focusing on your business? If you are focused on something else, you’ll get results in that area but not necessarily more patients.
Yes, thought and excitement plays a huge role in the Law of Attraction. However, we also need to act in accord. If we can’t act like we want what we say we want, then maybe there’s more going on that we need to look at.

The law of attraction is the law of vibration. We need to use our feelings to attract what we want.
If we feel negative, our goals needs to be to find a better feeling in that moment. It will lead to more good feelings…and more joy.
It is as simple as it is complex. Required good emotional management. It is worth trying, practice will bring you new habits.
With gratitude…

I don’t disagree. However many people are trying to vibrate at a level that allows them to get something they THINK they want, rather than something they do want at their soul. Often they are working on a level of what they think they should want, not what they authentically want. If they don’t work through those levels, they will never be able to vibrate such that they get what they want–they will always be hoping for something else.
I dislike the term emotional management. Emotions come and go–they flow. Managing them is difficult. We can manage our reactions to them and allow them to flow, but I do not believe in trying to block an emotion.
