As entrepreneurs looking to grow our businesses, we mostly tend to focus on the marketing of our businesses (and I applaud this, of course). Im known to get on my soap box and say, If you dont market today, you wont have clients in 6 months. And if you dont market consistently, you wont have clients consistently. Obviously, marketing is crucial to staying in business.

One thing thats become clearer and clearer to me over the years is that theres also an INNER game to Client Attraction. Our mindset, our thoughts, our beliefs and how we FEEL, have a lot to do with what shows up in our lives and our business. What we think about, and how good or bad we feel, literally dictates the number of clients and the level of revenues we pull in.

Client Attraction is just that, PULLING in what we want.

Ive been studying the Law of Attraction for many years and have been working on my own limiting beliefs for just as long. We all have these limiting beliefs. Stuff we heard when we were young, experiences that have shaped us and events we witnessed that created a deep impression on us.

Its hard to escape, its even rampant in ones family. Heres what I heard (and still hear) in mine:

• If you eavesdropped on my familys conversations when I was young, you would commonly hear the phrase La vie est difficile (Life is Difficult). This was just an accepted fact. And for a large part of my early life, it seemed like that was indeed true. I experienced many hardships and emotional setbacks. It seems indeed that life wasnt easy, until I started working on my mindset and realized that it didnt have to be that way.

• I was reflecting on how lucky and grateful I felt the other day as I was showing someone around my new house at the beach (and the boat and everything). This person looked at me quizzically and said, Dont forget, Fabienne, you have what you have not just because youre lucky, but because you worked really hard for it. Thats the ONLY way to get what you want in life. Well, I was startled, because I now know that thats only partly true.

I see both of these comments and thought patterns as being limiting. The truth is, Ive asked for these things, believed I could have them, and invited them into my life, while taking action to get them. I essentially changed my inner game of attraction by changing my thoughts.

Want to know what I did to switch my INNER game of attraction, including Client Attraction? Ive done much personal growth and development work, read a ton of books, but these are some things Ive done recently that really stand out:

1. I stopped thinking and saying that life is difficult. Instead, I started saying Life is Good over and over again to myself. I even went as far as getting Life is Good hats, t-shirts and bumper stickers for our cars and our boat at www.lifeisgood.com. Not only do I want people around me to recognize that life CAN be good, but I want to remind myself of this every time I look around.

2. I started building a book library that would help me change my mindset about what it takes to attract more money, clients, love, or anything into my life. And its all worked. My favorites are Ask and It Is Given by Esther Hicks, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn and The Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale.

3. Ive watched the movie The Secret ($4.95 at thesecret.tv) about 5 times in the last few weeks and will continue to watch it, over and over again, as I pick up something new each time.

Whats the common element to all of these books, movies, and sayings? That FEELING GOOD is the key to getting what you want, including clients. Heres my formula for attracting clients.

1. First, you have to get clear how many clients you need, and what type you want (only the good ones).

2. Get in a good-feeling place and ask for the number and types of clients you want.

3. Release your intention, feeling good about it, knowing that you deserve it, and that its on its way to you.

4. Notice the happy coincidences that start to pop up around you.

5. Take immediate action on these happy coincidences.

6. Be grateful and continue to feel good.

Notice how FEELING GOOD comes up throughout? In my opinion, its the key to attracting all the clients and all the money you want (or anything, for that matter).

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

1. Start changing what you say and think about your life or your Client Attraction situation. You can even say to yourself, I attract clients easily and in large numbers.

2. Read the books outlined above, and put them into practice. These are the Crme de la Crme.

3. Watch the movie thesecret.tv as many times as you can.

4. Get yourself in a good-feeling place and follow my INNER GAME of Client Attraction formula above.

5. Never stop marketing and do what it takes to succeed (hey, you still gotta take action, but it doesnt have to be a struggle).
