Manifesting. To many, the concept seems so esoteric that they immediately categorize it as “woo-woo” and decide to ignore the fact that doing so could actually bring them a level of success they have never known. It’s possible to manifest anything into your life, from friendships to love, to scaling your business, to money and success.
Success in Business, especially if you’re an entrepreneur or rapidly growing your career, will be the focus of this article. Because if you’ve ever dreamed about becoming extremely successful and imagined what your life would be like if you reached your biggest goals, then guess what? You’ve already begun the manifestation process.
For those unfamiliar with manifesting, it is basically imagining something you want, believing you can (or already do) have it, and bringing that desire into your reality. It’s really less magic and more science, and if you’ve ever followed Dr. Joe Dispenza, you know that the brain is a magnificent thing that can produce your reality from your imagination.
It’s a big concept for some people, especially those in the business world who might be more focused on numbers and financial forecasts than letting themselves feel deeper and daydream. But the reality is, and we’ve heard it time and time again, the biggest names in business all have something in common. A dream that they envisioned so strongly that it became their reality. I, myself, an entrepreneur who has achieved much business success attribute many of my accomplishments to manifesting as I’ve seen first-hand how it has changed my life.
So, if you’re an entrepreneur or working towards major business success, how can you manifest to achieve your goals?
Here are three ways to get started:
- ENVISION SUCCESS: If you have big goals for your company, envisioning what they are is the first step. Close your eyes and imagine how you would feel if you achieved those goals. Maybe it’s a certain amount of money in your bank account or closing a huge client. Maybe it’s working remotely from somewhere specific. Let yourself go beyond just thinking of this goal. Actually feel what it would feel like. Let your emotions adapt to the thoughts you’re having. What do you see? What do you smell? Let your senses get in on the manifestation and allow your mind to believe that you actually have what you’re dreaming of. Imagine what it feels like to walk into your new office building or to work from the beach. Imagine closing a huge client and popping champagne to celebrate. If you’re not used to imagining these things, it could feel silly, but once you get comfortable with it, you’ll begin rewiring your brain and seeing growth opportunities everywhere.
LET GO OF YOUR NEGATIVE MINDSET: Being able to successfully manifest starts with how you feel about yourself. What do you feel worthy of? What do you think you deserve? If you’re trapped in a cycle of never feeling good enough or have a negative attitude towards money and success, you will no doubt continue to push any big wins away. Being able to manifest like a pro begins with figuring out your limiting beliefs and working on those first. Why do you think you don’t deserve money? Why is it that you don’t believe you can build your business up to scale internationally? Oftentimes, these limiting beliefs begin in childhood, but they can also develop after trauma, such as a death or divorce. If you want to generate $1M in revenue for your company but deep down, you have a belief that money is evil or that “money doesn’t grow on trees,” then you could be pushing away that revenue without even knowing it. Dig deep and think about how you truly feel about yourself and what you believe you are (or are not) worthy of. Understanding yourself better will allow you to heal, which in turn will multiply your ability to manifest tenfold.
TRUST THE OUTCOME: The thing with manifesting is that sometimes it works out exactly how we imagined it would, but many times our manifestations present in ways that we might not have even been able to imagine when we first set out to achieve them. Don’t be so attached to the outcome or the how and when that you get angry when you don’t see your manifestations appearing just as you wanted them to. Part of manifesting effectively is detaching from the outcome and letting go of the “need” to have something.
Instead, trust that the work you’re doing on yourself and the goals that you’re achieving for your business every day are leading you on the right path and welcome any positive twists or turns in your journey. Trust in yourself and know that you are extremely capable and that your hard work will soon pay off in dividends. You still have to put the work in to achieve your success, but once you begin trusting that your hard work will pair up with the things you are manifesting, you will no doubt see the results. Once you see those results happen the first time, then the second, then the third, you will know for yourself how well manifesting works, and you’ll be able to trust the process even more.
