How Do You Attract Opportunity Into Your Life?

Someone recently asked me the question: “How can I have more opportunities come into
my life?” Good question, but I think my answer surprised them a bit.

I bypassed the obvious (and necessary) points about hard work, persistence and
preparation. They actually were very hard workers. And they had the great attribute
of being seekers, they were on the outlook. But I felt maybe they were missing this
next and most valuable point - attraction.

I always thought opportunities and success were something you went after, then I
found out that I needed to turn it around. Opportunities and success are not
something you go after necessarily, but something you attract - by becoming an
attractive person.

That’s why I teach development of skills. If you can develop your skills, keep
refining all the parts of your character and yourself, your health, your
relationships, etc. so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace
-you’ll attract opportunity. Opportunity will probably seek you out. Your reputation
will probably precede you and someone will want to do business with you. All of the
possibilities are there by working on the philosophy that success is something you
attract.

The key is to continue making yourself a more attractive person by the skills you
have, the disciplines you have, the personality you’ve acquired, the character and
reputation you have established, the language and speech you use -all of that
refinement makes you more attractive to the marketplace.

Personal development - the never-ending chance to improve not only yourself, but
also to attract opportunities and affect others.

To Your Success,
