I attended a seminar last night that was talking about the Law of Attraction. The presenter was Michael Losier. Michael hosts a radio show on the Oprah radio network about the law of attraction and is known as the “How-To” guy for Law of Attraction.
Michael is an entertaining speaker and in the hour in which he spoke I took 3 pages of notes and came away with a page of action items for my personal and business growth.
There were a number of tools that Michael spoke about but the one I liked best was My Ideal _____(BLANK)! It teaches you how to focus your brain on what you do want and can be used for business as well as personal development. This tool is used to help people define exactly what they are looking for and provide clarity. Here are the steps for using the tool.
1) Take a blank page of paper
2) At the top write My Ideal ____ (BLANK) – Let’s say prospect.
3) Draw a line down the center of the paper
3) On the left hand side write down Contrast (things I don’t like or want)
4) On the right side write Clarity (What I want)
5) Start a list of all the things you don’t want in an Ideal (prospect) in this case
6) After completing all the things you don’t want look at each of them and decide what you would like instead.
For example if I don’t want my prospect to be negative then I probably want my prospect to be positive.
7) After completing this exercise fold the paper in half and look at what you want. You have now defined your perfect prospect.
Next Step do this for Market Segment, Referral, meeting, project, supplier, blog, wife, life or whatever.
I tried this exercise with just a few topics and was amazed at the clarity it provided.
