Welcome to SOLUTIONS ~ The Organizers' Newsletter ~ Late Spring 2007
We are happy to have you as a member of the ProfessionalOrganizers.Community.
Now that Oprah has had some of the leaders on her show, it seems that everyone is abuzz about the Law of Attraction ~ a concept that has been around since the beginning of time ~ and is once again attracting attention.
This issue is devoted to the power law of attraction and how you can make it work for you and your business.
Wishing you much success in all that you do,
Debra
The Law of Attraction ~ Marlene Chism
There's a lot of talk right now about the Law of Attraction. The assertion is that getting to your desired goal is not so much about the action as it is about the attitude.
The premise is that attitude comes before action, and when you have a good attitude you attract more good into your life and when you have a negative attitude you attract more negativity.
You've no doubt experienced the law of attraction in your own life. You are in an extremely good mood and you also get a promotion. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed and end up having a fender bender. Here are four ways to improve your business results based on the law of attraction.
Focus on what you want. The law of attraction states that what you focus on expands. If you observe others you notice that most people focus on what they do not want. "I don't want to argue, I don't want to waste time, and I don't want to have regrets." The way to change the focus is through the power of words. Instead of saying "I don't want to argue" say "I want to get along." Instead of saying I don't want to waste time, say," I want to use time effectively" and instead of saying "I don't want to have regrets," say "I want to be conscientious about my choices." Using these principles can enhance teamwork, improve productivity and take your business to the next level.
Build rewarding work relationships. In my graduate work I conducted surveys where I asked the question "What would improve productivity at work?" Across the board the answer was "better working relationships."
We discover who we are through our relationships, and relationships always have something to teach us. You can run from the lesson but you can't hide. For example, if you transfer to another department to get away from the lazy co-worker who takes advantage of you, eventually you get to work with another lazy co-worker who takes advantage of you. Perhaps the co-worker is there to teach you about setting boundaries, teamwork and speaking your truth.
If you can't retain your employees even though you pay a decent wage and have benefits, chances are it's a relationship problem. If you keep firing employees because they don't measure up, it's time to offer some training, prepare an employee handbook or hire a HR manager. We are who we are because of relationships and relationships can only be effective if they are mutually rewarding.
Manage your energy. In their book, The Power of Full Engagement, authors Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz suggest that the key to high performance and personal renewal is managing energy and not time.
Most of us have forgotten the importance of renewal and regeneration. We try to get more done by skipping lunch, getting less sleep and talking on the phone while driving. Then we end up feeling drained and resort to more energy drains such as gossip, bickering and complaining.
Your car can't run without fuel and a tune up and neither can you. Maybe all you need to manage your energy is a healthy dose of laughter and a good nap.
Become your own best friend. Let me guess: you often feel guilty, you have a hard time saying "no," you juggle way too many responsibilities and you are hard on yourself.
The reason I know is because much of 2006 was spent conducting surveys where between 60 and 80 percent of survey respondents answered yes to the first four statements.
If you want to start being a better friend to you, here are some suggestions...
1. Stop the guilt trip. Guilt is nothing but judgment about something you should have done or should be doing. Either clean up your act, or become happy with your current decisions. Anything else is madness.
2. Be true to yourself. Quit betraying yourself by saying "Yes" when you need to say "no." Your attitude will improve because you'll be less resentful of others and you'll be taking responsibility instead of trying to be a people pleaser.
3. Respect others enough to make them pull their weight. Have the integrity to speak to them about the situation and be prepared to deal with excessive pouting on their part as they try to convince you to revert back to old patterns.
4. Be kind to yourself. You can't give to others what you can't give to yourself.

Law of Attraction Secrets ~ Alex Nguyen
Do Law of Attraction secrets exist?
"Thoughts are things" Napoleon Hill once wrote it in his famous book "Think and Grow Rich" a few decades ago. Yet to this day not many people understand its profundity. To someone who might not be familiar with the concept of manifestation, it seems like a nonsensical statement - even absurd! But to a success conscious individual, it is a powerful statement and within it contains life's most precious secret.
The Law of Attraction secrets boil down to one thing: thought.
Everything begins with thought. The Wright brothers had a thought about making flying a reality. Soon enough it became a reality for them and we are the beneficiaries. Donald Trump had a thought of being rich which led him to the right people, right opportunities that helped him along the way and he became rich. Bill Gates had an idea (thought) about making the computer easy to operate and accessible to everyone. His thought manifested.
These men (and women) and many other successful individuals understand the most fundamental law: the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that similar things attract to one another, thus, the saying "birds of a feather flock together." If everything begins with thought and the Law of Attraction plays a big role in manifesting the thought, then it can be illustrated as follows:
A thought (attracts) other similar thoughts (attract) other people of similar thoughts (attract) circumstances that are in harmony with those thoughts (lead to) the thing desired by those thoughts expressed in physical form
At the level of thought "things" are nothing but random energy waiting to be "assembled". Yet they are as real as electricity. We can't see electricity, but we know beyond shadows of a doubt that it exists. We also know that thoughts are real because everything that has ever been invented or created in our physical world began with a thought. The manifestation of the "thing" from the invisible plane into our physical world is enabled by the persistence of thought. This is the essence of the law of attraction secrets.
Scientists teach us that the whole universe is made of energy. Energy has frequencies. Thoughts are energy in its primitive stage. Thought energies radiate frequencies just as radio antennas radiate frequencies. The level of thought frequency determines the kind of physical manifestation and circumstance that we have; low thought frequencies correspond to the physical expression of similar frequencies while high thought frequencies correspond to things, people, or circumstance of similar frequencies.
The key to keep in mind is that thoughts are as real as any physical thing. You must be completely convinced that it is as just as you are convinced that the earth is round. Hold your thoughts long enough and in time you'll see them manifest in your reality.
So go head. Think yourself into riches, a new home, a new car, an opulent lifestyle, happiness, meaningful relationships, and peace of mind...whatever you desire.
You're limited to the kind of thoughts you hold in your mind. The Law of Attraction secrets is not something new. It's inherent in all of us. All you need to do is check your thoughts.
Manifest a great life!
