Yes, we're all aware that the economy is shall we say...slow.  Whether you've invested your heart and soul in a  small business, home business or store front business, there are some actions that you can take that will assist your business and allow your business to grow and expand if you understand the power you hold within your business.

First, let's understand the Law of Attraction is at work.

The Law of Attraction says that whatever you focus your energy and attention on, you will attract more of the same, whether it's wanted or unwanted.

So, when we focus on positive things, the things that really make us feel good, we're attracting more good things. When we focus on negative things, we've put energy and attention on what makes us feel bad and thus attracting more negative things.

Here are the Top 5 Ways To Grow Your Business In This Slow Economy

1. Having Powerful Conversations

Yes, powerful conversations! So often people get trapped in conversations of what's wrong with the world, what's not working, what's broke, who's struggling and who's having problems. These types of conversations are not going to serve your business.

Understanding the Law of Attraction, you'll want to engage in what you like, what you're excited about, what's good and right, what's joyful in your business. Focus on good things in your conversations. What to do when someone starts down the negative trail in a conversation? Change the subject as quickly as you can! Or sometimes, I'll have an internal dialogue going on that saying, "Oh, I reject what they just said." If you can't do that...have the strength to walk away!

2. Focusing on Abundance and Prosperity

Too many people focus on lack of customers or leads for their opportunity. Focusing with lack or limitation, a real poverty consciousness isn't going to move your business forward. In essence, you're then telling yourself that there's not enough to go around.

Shift to a prosperity consciousness and notice what happens! Once again understanding the Law of Attraction, focus on what you do have. Notice the abundance and prosperity all around you.  Be grateful for what is there and even the smallest step forward in your in your business.  Celebrate your wins!

3. Tapping Into Your Personal Power

In a slow economy, there are some people that will prey on a struggling business owner. You can call them "bottom feeders" or people that promise you all kind of things if only jump on board with them. They know that you're vulnerable.  I remember once I jumped on board with an SEO company that promised me front page of Google. Boy, was I a sucker!  

Keep your personal power! Don't allow others to control your money and don't give into shortcuts in your business. There are no shortcuts to excellence.

4. Going The Extra Mile

Going the extra mile. What does that mean anyway? It means doing that little extra something. If you have a restaurant, the maple syrup is warm for the pancakes. If you have a home business, extra time dedicated to your team. If you have a store front, giving free samples to potential customers. Going the extra mile is a demonstration of your commitment to your business and to your customers.

5. Understanding the BE-DO-HAVE Principle

HAVE-DO-BE means one must have results first, then you'll do as the person would do, to then be the person you desired to be.  It would be like a person that is attempting to lose weight to wait until they can fit into their "skinny jeans" before they modify their diet or begin exercise.  But here's the thing...that's backwards!

First you must BE the person you desire to be in your mind first. Moving through life as that person, doing as he/she would DO, to then achieving the results or to HAVE. To be a millionaire,  it starts with the mindset or being the millionaire first. Thoughts are the starting point to the results!  This is absolute key to creating the success you desire. 

I'll look forward to hearing your results on how your growing your business!
