re the contrast in your life and now you want to use your new list, which is your clarity list. These are the things you want in your ideal customers. By focusing on these traits you will begin to attract into your business those customers you truly enjoy working with.

Don’t be alarmed if you notice some of your older customers fading away. This is a good thing. They most likely were customers with traits you don’t want to deal with anymore in your business. Rest assured, new customers will take their place and you will begin to enjoy your work again.

Focus is the Key to a Successful Startup
The definition of a startup means you have very few resources to employ and little time to get them to do something valuable. The clock is always ticking, and the money (if you even have any) is running out by the day. With so little to leverage, you need to make sure that the focus of your company's product offer is as razor sharp as possible.Don't be all you can be. Be as little as you can be.Most startup companies fail because they try to be too many things to too many people right from the onset. They think of every possible option they c

Are you tired of dealing with difficult customers?

Have you ever imagined how great it would be if you ONLY had to deal with the types of customers you enjoy? Your job would be so much more rewarding. Think about it…attracting ideal customers, working with your ideal customers.

Well, I am happy to report that you can do just that. You can attract your ideal customers and obtain the working environment you so desire.

The Law of Attraction states that whatever we give our attention, energy and focus to we will attract into our life.

So how do we go about attracting ideal customers and working with ideal customers in our business?

The first step is to decide what we don’t want in an ideal customer. To do this, we will use what is known as a T-tool. You may download your own T-tool free by visiting either of my websites listed at the end of this article. If you would prefer to make your own T-tool, just do the following:

1. Take a full sheet of paper (8.5” x 11”)

2. About an inch down from the top, draw a horizontal line across the page.

3. In the middle of this horizontal line, draw vertical line down to the bottom of the page. (You will notice you now have what appears to be a large capital T.)

4. Across the page, above the T, write the words My Ideal Customer.

5. At the top of the T on the left hand column, write, I Don’t Want.

6. At the top of the T on the right hand column, write, I DO Want.

The T actually divides your page into two columns. We are going to focus briefly on the left hand column and list all the things about your current and past customers that you don’t like. Such traits could be indecisive, high maintenance, cheap, complaining, and so on. Once you have completed the left hand column with the traits you dislike, we will then turn our attention to the 1st entry on the list and ask, so if this is what I don’t want, what DO I want? You will write the answer in the top of the right hand column, directly across from the first entry on the left and then line through the entry on the left.

After going through the entire left hand column and writing your DO Wants in the right hand column of your T-tool, fold the paper in half with only the right hand column facing up. We no longer wish to give any more attention to those items we listed on our Don’t Want column. They are the contrast in your life and now you want to use your new list, which is your clarity list. These are the things you want in your ideal customers. By focusing on these traits you will begin to attract into your business those customers you truly enjoy working with.

Three Myths About Resume Writing
Your perspective on resumes – what they are and how they function – will doubtless influence how well you can write your own. To create an outstanding resume, begin by questioning and replacing some of the commonly held assumptions about resume writing.ASSUMPTION: “A resume is a personal history, and prospective employers will read it primarily to learn about past jobs and accomplishments.”Replace with: A resume is best thought of as a proposal, rather than a history.Although a resume does primarily include information about your perso

Put An End To Committees!
Committees have been the bane of management almost from the beginning of time. Like a number of other things in our world, you can’t live with ‘em, and you can’t live without ‘em, right?. Not so fast, friend. There may actually be a way to rid the business world of committees, once and for all.You say your company has a problem? Time to form a committee to deal with it, to recommend a solution! Got another problem? Another committee’s got to be the way to go. Do that often enough, and your committees become a problem of their own. Typically, co

I have put this practice into effect myself and shortly after I did a client that I had not dealt with for several years contacted me and requested one of my services that she had never used before. This customer was a very frugal individual and one of my desired traits was that my customers would see the wonderful value of my services and appreciate my fees – paying them gladly. I was tired of dealing with individuals always looking for a deal or discount.

It was this returning client that truly amazed me about the power of the Law of Attraction. She never said a word about my fees for the service she was requesting and actually felt it was a great price for the high quality product I would be designing for her. The Law of Attraction was delivering the customers I desired and this returning client was the perfect example.

Since that time I have seen some clients go, and I must say gladly. They have been and are continuing to be replaced by customers that I truly love working with.

So, what are you waiting for? Isn’t it time you started attracting the types of customers you love working with into your business?

Try using the T-tool yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to lend a hand.

Having a business filled with your ideal customers is like a dream come true. Thanks to the Law of Attraction, that’s exactly what it is.

Good luck and good attracting!

One of the newest jobs available today is a virtual assistant. With so many jobs being completed through the internet, having virtual office staff only makes sense. It helps companies keep down overhead, and allows more workers the flexibility to telecommute.

The next time you say that your job is killing you, you may just be on to something.
