There are many who will claim that affirmation does not work but I will dare to challenge the opinions of the sceptics . Just because an affirmation does not immediately manifest does not mean it is futile. One must first understand why and how affirmation works before one casts doubts on it credence.

For those who are new to the subject, let me clearly state that affirmatons are set of definite positive statements you repeat silently and frequently to yourself about things you want to see manifest in your life. I recently produced a set of affirmation statements for a client that needed support to become more positive about herself and her business which I will share with you to give you an insight into what affirmation statements are and how they should be put together. Affirmation statements should always be in the positive and in the present tense. Moreover, it should be believable so that the subconscious mind can accept the statements and go to work on it.

Examples of affirmation statements

I am now creating a successful business doing what I love to do.
I am now taking steps to learn all the skills I need to run a profitable and successful business
I am now creating sales income of xxxxxxxxxxxx per month and my business is growing steadily each month.
I am now creating a profitable business as my expenses are well below my income
I now think and act positively consistently at home, in my business and with my external relationships
I believe in my self and I am confident that the universe supports me in all my affairs
I am supported by the universe and I am one with the universal intelligence that creates all things abundantly around me and through me.
I have faith that what so ever I do will succeed. I simply ask the universe, believe that what I have asked is on it way to me and accept all good things that come to me speedily.
I am directed and guided by the universe and I have complete faith in the universe.
I love, value and respect my family and they love, value and respect me too.
I love, value and respect my customers and they love, value and respect me too.
I am paid well for the services I provide my customers and I serve my customers with passion and love
I am now taking steps to become financially astute and I now begin to make wise decisions about money matters
Nothing but the best comes into my life because I am the best at what I do and I am respected in my sector.
I am harmonious, perfect, wise, whole, complete and intelligent. I make wise and intelligent decisions.
I am at peace with myself, my family and the rest of the world and I am living a healthy and blissful life.
I now let go of all past negativity and fully embrace positive thinking and the best the universe has to offer me.
Money is good, money is energy, money now comes freely into my life through my services and unexpected channels.

Affirmation works because, we are spiritual being and the “I” that speaks is spirit and is all creative and powerful. This “I” is one with the universal mind which is omnipotent, all knowing and intelligent and all powerful and creative. When this “I” says I am harmonious, it directs the mind (which is the tool within used in the creative process), to create the mental pictures of harmony which in turns attract the resources and events to create harmony in our surroundings. We may not understand how this work in detailed but persistence, patience, faith and continuous repetition of affirmation statements will soon manifest in physical form. The speed of manifestation will depend on how persistence the individual is backed by their faith and emotions surrounding that which is affirmed. So, if there is something you truly desire to change in your world, why not start affirming it.

To learn more about affirmations and how to use them to improve your business, check out chapter 6 of my book titled “My Business Is My Business”. This chapter covers information about the laws of the universe and it relationship to the power of the mind. You will learn that when a great teacher says that we will be accountable for every word spoken, the truth of his statement was not understood by many at the time (and even now) because only few people in the world understand the relationship between spirit, mind and physical manifestation.

Generating ideas is one thing, developing ideas is quite another. Everyone can come up with ideas to start a business, but not everyone can come up with smart ways to organise these ideas towards a definite cause that will provide solutions to a given set of societal problems. In the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’, author Napoleon Hill reiterate that the ability to organise specialised knowledge and direct it towards a given market to provide unique solutions to a problem is power in action. Power is the ability to effect chantge and get results that is for the highest good of all parties concern.

If you are starting your business and have ideas but struggle with developing these ideas, you will do well to get help from a coach like myself because it will make the difference between launching a lame duck business that will suck money out of your bank account and launching a proper business that will put money into your bank account. You will be surprise how many businesses under perform due to lack of expertise in organising their ideas.

One simple step you can take to develop your business idea is to step back and look at the broad market and start thinking outside the box about all the different ways the problem can be solved before coming up with your solutions. Avoid falling in love with any particular solution because to do so will leave you expose to making the wrong choice due to biasness. Think about how you can combine different independent solutions into one single solution to come up with a unique product. In one of my audio CDs titled ‘Creative Mind’, I covered some of the tools you can use to address this issue. Those of you in the paid coaching programme can access the audio and workbook in the membership resource page. Combination is a technique whereby you look at different services you can combine to form a unique product. I was with a client last week seriously in need of assistance in this area. She has been running a small fashion and accessory boutique for the last twelve months that is struggling to make sales. The business offers:
1. Ladies bags
2. Ladies shoes
3. Jewelleries- necklace, brace lace, earrings,
4. Body and facial cream
5. Lipsticks, nail polish
6. Hair dressing
7. Textile
8. Ladies dresses
9. Menes shirt
10. Perfumes
All the products are sold individually to the end users. No packaging for the gift market is done to capitalise on the opportunities of special celebrations throughout the year such as Valentine’s day, Mothers day, Easter holiday, May bank holiday, Fathers day, August bank holiday, Back to school, Christmas, New Year, special birthdays – 21st, 18th, 40th , 50th , 60th , 70th , 80th etc.
The poor organisation of the ideas of this business alongside, weak marketing plan and strategies have resulted in poor financial outcomes for the business. Why did the owner not see what was so obvious to others. Her internal conditioning (thought patterns are an obvious suspect). Until she dissolves limiting thought patterns and access new and empowering beliefs and thoughts she will be operating below her capacity. She will continue to blame everyone except when all this time the answers lied within her. If this story sounds familiar contact me for more information.

Wow, things are really starting to heat up!
