Recently one of my elite coaching club members and I were having a conversation and it reminded me of a great technique which I've used a lot with very positive results. This is an elegant exercise in how to manufacture a positive outcome. This outcome can be in general, and can also be laser focused on all aspects of our lives. . .relationships, health, wellness, business, finances. . .anything.



I understand this might seem silly at first blush. However, I am willing to exist in a state of silliness if the outcome means more clients, more money, more happiness, more of what I want. I will absolutely do what it takes to have more of what I want and silly is a small price to pay. I just ask that you suspend any cynicism and allow the potential of this to flow through you.

Here's one technique that I like to use: I imagine a cloud filled with positive thoughts. If I'm working on a business deal, my goal is always for the most beneficial outcome for everyone involved.

My imagination cloud will cover the entire area surrounding our interaction, for example, an office. And my cloud holds anything I want it to hold--watchtowers around the perimeter or missiles to zap out negative thinking and problems that might arise in the course of negotiations.

I often think of the cloud over my prospect's head clearing and letting the sun shine down, the sun's rays being a golden opportunity for us to work together, the golden opportunity to see things the way I want him/her to see things. Other times, I imagine a genie swooping down bringing gold bars to show the prospect representing all of the richness available in our interaction.

The image of gold bars works well for me because I know for a certainty that many of my clients experience surges in productivity and leaps in income as a result of working with me. This image reinforces in me the fruitfulness and potential of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Your cloud can also pour down rain on your prospect, with the rain being a gentle pressure to agree.

You can have your cloud rain notes that your client's other than conscious reads saying, 'Accept my deal' and 'Move forward, now.'

There is no limit to the possibilities your cloud can accomplish. Whether you know it or not, you are a creative being and you are capable of manifesting what you want through your thoughts. We can conjure up all sorts of realities in our personal, business and public universes with a simple thought.

We can be miserable, or we can be motivated. We can create the optimum internal environments within ourselves, fertile with our imaginings and thoughts, wild with the ability to manifest what we want and need in business, which will yield amazing results. And all this happens because we make a choice. Incredible.
