Great question! And one of my favourite topics …

The thing about LoA is that everything we experience is part of it … the good, the bad and the ugly … so to speak! We all know how wonderful it feels to be ‘in the zone’ … when everything just flows … But likewise we’ve all experienced times that were the absolute opposite.

However our negative emotions, thoughts and beliefs are where the real work happens and isn’t it through dispelling these that we grow? … As that coaching guru (and genuine nice guy) to the guru’s @richschefren says; ‘if we’re not (or our business is not) growing … then we (and it) are receding’(or worse) … ouch!

I recently learned a smart approach to use from AnaMaria Herrera (another great mentor) @AgentEFT – EFT Practitioner and Trainer and I’m sure she won’t mind me sharing here …

She says a missing step should be implemented once we’ve set a goal … and that is to deal with any limiting beliefs that may conflict with our best outcome. If we don’t, the flow will be blocked and we may give up and say this stuff doesn’t work

And of course that would be a great pity as it never switches off right! And that coaching mantra comes to mind right now … whatever you think you’re right!

But once we’ve got the negative issues to surface we can work on dissolving them … and then continue with the cosmic wishing process …

I think Rich would agree with this although he’s more likely to apply it in business terms … But I find as a self-employed solo-preneur they become one and the same anyway!

As a Health Coach EFT is fast becoming a firm favourite, because of the speed and accuracy at which it works … for clients and myself.

I saw your link on Twitter and as you may realize, I’m passionate about your topic today and just had to join in with your conversation …

Seriously though, labeling any and all thoughts/comments as “negative” that go against what we have envisioned as an end goal is VERY dangerous. In business, that type of thinking is likely to result in you getting unexpectedly hit by some torpedo that comes out of no where, and then being completely sunk by a myriad of shots that unfailingly reverberate throughout the business.

Seeing the potential negatives, assessing their probability and taking preventive action based on the potential damage they could incur; that is what differentiates successful businesses from mom-and-pop operations that are really nothing more than minimum wage “jobs” wrapped in a delusion of entrepreneurship.

Being able to react quickly based on a predetermined plan may not prevent you from getting hit by a rogue torpedo, but it sure as heck means you’ll be able to react and recover quickly. If that’s not “positive”, I don’t know what is.

I live by the creed on of my first mentors taught me; “Be a long-term optimist and a short-term pessimist.” Since he’s worth over $100-million, I think I’ll stick with what he’s got to say on this subject.
