You may have heard that “Nature abhors a vacuum”. This saying is used to express the idea that empty or unfilled spaces are unnatural as they go against the laws of nature and physics.
Here’s the definition of “vacuum” from www.Wikipedia.com:
“A vacuum is a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter, so that gaseous pressure is much less than standard atmospheric pressure. The root of the word vacuum is the Latin adjective vacuus which means “empty,” but space can never be perfectly empty. A perfect vacuum with a gaseous pressure of absolute zero is a philosophical concept that is never observed in practice, not least because quantum theory predicts that no volume of space is perfectly empty in this way.”
Now, I’ll be honest with you. I don’t quite understand the scientific part of it (that’s not my strong suit; marketing, manifesting and mindset are), but I can tell you how I use this law of nature and physics for my own business purposes.
I’m a big believer in Feng Shui and how clearing clutter can leave room for new things in your life (in large part because of Karen Kingston’s outstanding book called Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui.) I’ve recommended it to hundreds of people by now, because it has helped me in so many ways.
By the way, in my experience, clearing clutter and emptying out spaces to attract new things applies to many things in life. One example is that if you clear MENTAL clutter, you end up focusing on one thing and attracting that one thing.
If nature seeks to fill any empty space, and if that is a scientific law in the Universe, then why couldn’t we use it for getting clients too?
So, I tested this out a few years ago, and then, whenever I really wanted to attract a new client quickly, for whatever reason, I would set the intention with setting up a system of folders.
So back then, in my hanging file drawer, I had all my existing client folders hanging and sorted in alphabetical folder. But sometimes, I’ve forgotten to get rid of the folders for clients who had already completed their coaching with me, the Graduates.
If a whole bunch of “graduate” client folders were cluttering up my file drawers, the Universe didn’t have as much room for sending me new clients. So, it was time to clear out the old and make room for the new.
Take out all old client folders and put them in another space.
Next, I grabbed as many brand new client folders as I intended to attract (let’s say 3 for this example) and I put them in the hanging file drawer.
I then added colorful stickies (Post It notes), one on each folder, that said:
- New April Client 1
- New April Client 2
- New April Client 3
As I opened my client folder drawer several times each day, I saw the folders with their bright pink neon sticky notes attached to it.
These folders were quietly, confidently waiting for new clients to fill them.
I was able to “FEEL” what it feels like to see them being filled. And they do. It’s worked every time for me.
And as I signed on one new client, I took the “New April Client 1” sticky off and filled in the person’s name on the folder.
Then, as I signed on another new client, I took the “New April Client 2” sticky off and filled in that person’s name on the second folder, and so on.
I got a sense of accomplishment as I do this.
The best thing about this technique is that it takes almost no time to set up and it’s worked for me every time.
I guess nature really does abhor a vacuum, after all. 🙂
That said, this one’s a no-brainer because it only takes about 30 seconds to implement, so there’s no reason not to do it.
I have many, many tools that I implement regularly to put the Universe to work in helping me attract what I want into my business. I share ALL of them during my FREE Quick Start Guide to Attracting 3 New Clients This Month Special Report at http://www.3newclientsin30days.com.
You’ve heard of the Law of Attraction, you’ve watched the movie The Secret more times than you can count on one hand, and you probably love the idea, but haven’t figured out a pragmatic, practical way of applying these to your small business success, ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Where most people don’t use the Law of Attraction properly is that they think they can just put a thought out there in the Universe, do some positive thinking and wait for the results to come to them. Well, in my own experience, it doesn’t work quite that way.
There are several components to using the Law of Attraction (or “Manifesting”) to attract what you want into your business, in addition to marketing:
1) Create the thought
2) Soak in the feeling
3) Take action
4) Be grateful
Today, I am sharing with you exactly how I use some of these principles to attract more money, more ideal clients and more opportunities in my own private practice. Strap on your seatbelt, because you’ll be surprised by how easy these tools are to implement and yet how wildly successful they will be for you, as they’ve been for me. OK, let’s get started…
First things first, we need to get some clarity about what you want.
The first thing you want to do is get super clear about what you want to attract in your business. That said, what you want to attract right NOW.
I used to say, “Oh, I want to be a multimillionaire helping others” or even, “This year, I want to make $500,000.00 working half the time.”
I still want these things and am getting closer to attracting them, but what about the day-to-day?
Sometimes, it’s the day-to-day focus that seems to be missing. Without focus, attracting clients, or money, or anything else you want seems to fall by the wayside.
You see, we’re taught to dream BIG, and so we do. But without a pragmatic way of looking at something you want to attract, it’s much more difficult to bring it into your physical reality.
So, the first thing I’d like you to do, right now, is to figure out what you would like to attract, this week or this month. Is it 3 new ideal paying clients? Is it 150 paid registrants at your upcoming live event? Is it a radio or magazine interview in a prominent business publication?
Get super clear on what you want and write it down.
Great. Now, before we keep going, let me ask you this. Was it written in the positive or the negative? What I mean is, did you write “I have no more debt” or rather “Money comes to me easily and joyfully” or “I am financially independent”.
Are you being specific enough?
“I attract lots and lots of new clients” isn’t as powerful as “I attract 3 new ideal clients in April.”
You see, whether you’re spiritual or not, the Universe will bring you exactly what you ask for. When you’re not being specific, it’s more difficult for you to actually GET what you ask for, or rather, you may get a version of it you didn’t really want.
For example, if you offer 3 different programs, with one bringing in more money than the other two, then perhaps you want to focus on saying, “I sign on 3 new ideal clients for my Fast Track program.”
That said, let’s see if you can rewrite your request below, with more specificity (think: how much and by when.)
OK, now it’s time to launch that rocket into the Universe and make that an official request.
