From the Wisdom Vault… 

You’ve heard this — whatever you focus on expands. The authors of  The Law of Attraction by the Abraham-Hicks group, suggest that 68 seconds of focused thought initiates creation energy.

What is the focus of most of your thoughts? What are you attracting?

It’s easy to get caught up in negative thoughts without even knowing it. Learning how to focus your thoughts to attract what you want (instead of what you don’t want) is a gateway skill — one you’ll want to add to your coaching skills. Give yourself easy and effective ways to focus.

Attraction in Action

One of the most powerful ways to attract coaching business success is to set annual revenue goals and then back in the monthly, weekly and even daily activities that will support that financial goal.

Recently, a group of coaches, all in their first two years of professional coaching, were asked what their financial goals were. Only 20% had set an annual revenue goal. The rest were just focusing on “getting” clients.

The coaches who had set financial goals:

- Had 12 or more clients in their practice.

- Were well on track to meeting their financial goals of up to 144K.

Whereas the coaches who had no financial goals:

- Were often discounting their coaching.

- Had 6 clients or less in their practice.

- Felt financially strained and frustrated.

Why are financial goals powerful?

Spending time thinking about what you want +
Setting goals that represent those desires +
Planning and taking actions that support those goals =

Significant time in positive focused thought (creative energy) toward the outcome you want.

In business, the most effective way to do this is to start with an annual revenue goal. 

Often coaches put their focus on “getting” clients instead. Their creative energy is focused on the need for clients — what’s missing. And often there is no plan or consistent action to attract those clients. So the majority of their thought isn’t positively focused. Days and months pass, pressure mounts, anxiety builds and their income stays small.

Set Your Financial Goals for 2008 Now

If you’ve never played with financial goals, it might seem intimidating or boring. Make it into a fun game that gives you pinpointed focus for your creative energy.

And here’s an important tip: Set a stretch goal rather than the minimum you can get by with.  If your annual financial goal is 40K and you make it, that’s great. But if you stretch your goal to, say, 100K and you earn 85K, you’ll be thrilled! It’s not important that you make the stretch goal, only that you aim high enough to encourage your growth and focus your creative energy.
