Business and Law

You know what gets me steamed? When someone tells me that they’re following The Secret, and then, as they continue to talk, I learn that they’re trying to “think” their way into success. There’s a time and a place for visualizing your success, believe me. And I believe strongly that having the right mindset is key to achieving your dreams. However, if all you’re doing is relying on “attraction” to get you where you want to be, then you’re missing out on one of my laws of business success: the Law of Action.

Don’t get me wrong. The Law of Attraction is great. It just won’t get you all of the way there. Let me explain. Imagine someone who wants to be a writer. This person desperately wants a book deal with a major publishing house. Now imagine that she spends all day, every day, sitting on her sofa, dreaming of her book deal. She can visualize writing the book, she can see herself negotiating the contract, she can even see the book tour, with hundreds of fans lined up around the block to have her sign a copy of her book. But I think that you and I both know that if this chick doesn’t get off her butt and start writing her book, none of her dreams of a book deal will ever happen.

The Law of Attraction is meaningless without the Law of Action.

Did you ever hear, “God helps those who help themselves”? That’s as much of a universal law as the Law of Attraction is! And I call it “The Law of Action.” The Law of Action is this: Action attracts. Put the time and effort into your business and show The Universe that you’re serious, and you’ll see things start to happen.

“Dreams pass into the reality of action.
From the actions stems the dream again;
and this interdependence produces
the highest form of living.”
- Anais Nin

When you know what you want, you’ll take action to get there. And that action-taking will encourage the dream. You’ll create a cycle of success — attraction plus action! So act. Pursue your dreams with action and vigor. Show God/Spirit/The Universe that you believe in yourself and you believe in your business by taking action. If The Law of Attraction hasn’t brought you the success you desire by now, then it’s time to put some good, old-fashioned, elbow grease into your business and bring the Law of Action to life.
