We hear a lot these days about the Law of Attraction, how thoughts influence reality; visualize and focus on your goals or desires and they will manifest and come true. Why is it I meet so many people who don’t realize that they can apply the Law of Attraction to their image?
Cart Before the Horse
The other day at a women’s networking function, I was introduced to a brand new entrepreneur, let’s call her ‘Jane’. We had a good conversation and I found out she was a financial planner and I learnt all about her new business and her belief in the Law of Attraction. When I shared that I was an image consultant, she told me “Oh, I know how important image is and I’m going to invest in it as soon as I become successful!”
In my head I was thinking, “Jane, how can you expect to be successful if you don’t look the part now.” The number one mistake that men and women make is waiting until they’re successful before investing in their image. They don’t understand that their image is the missing link in their marketing chain and a huge part of the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Detraction
If your image says struggling financial planner or struggling… whatever, how many clients do you think you’ll attract? Thoughts influence reality, especially your potential customer’s thoughts. Perception is reality to your prospects.
Invest in Your Image from the Get-Go
My tip – you need to look like you’ve already made it, then people and customers will be attracted to your success. It really doesn’t take a lot of money to dress as if you’re already successful. It just takes a little knowledge and coaching advice. The clothing doesn’t have to be expensive it just has to be up to date, fit you well and suit your complexion and figure type. (I’ve just announced Brand New You public workshops for women Oct. 1 or Dec. 3 to give you personal advice and tips to make this easy.)
It’s Called Dress for Success for a Reason
The Law of attraction works on so many different levels. The bonus is that it doesn’t just affect the perception of other people, it also affects your own perception of yourself. When you know that you look your best… you feel and act your best. You become a magnet to others, and really start to attract your business and life goals. Don’t wait, look successful now and guess what …
