Ever notice that the more you focus your thoughts on something the more of that “something” you get?

Like snakes, for example, I’ve not met many people in my life who likes snakes. I, myself, have struggled with a huge fear of them for years. Fortunately, I have finally come to a place where I can be at peace with them…but I still don’t LIKE them.

So, I spend a lot of time out on the local trails – mountain biking, hiking and trail running. Be it the time of year, the temperature, the food sources, (my focus) whatever you want to call it – snakes are EVERYWHERE! The more I focus on them the more I see them. The more I think about seeing them on the trail, the more they show up! The more I look, the more I SEE! I KNOW I am attracting them!

What things in your business or life do you constantly focus on, pay attention to, or SEE that continue to show up, simply because you are focusing your energy on that very “something”? What would happen if you simply changed the item of your focus to something more positive? Like instead of allowing your thoughts to be on your mounting debt – focus on increased income, instead of focusing on bad luck – count your blessings and instead of expecting ugly reptiles – anticipate butterflies!

Pay attention to your thoughts and what you are attracting into your business and life. You may be surprised that a change in your everyday thoughts will create big positive changes overall!

Don’t expect the snakes!

The following is an expression of my experiences with everyday normal occurrences and how I see them as they relate to management, marketing and leadership. Being a real estate investor and owner of several businesses including Western Slope Real Estate Investors, GJ Property, and MVM Mortgage Group, I will likely intertwine my experience with these businesses, as well.
