I ran across another video with an important message.
This can apply to your home business as well as other areas of your life.
There’s no need for me to say much at all, so let’s see the video!
Two of my favorite lines from this short video are:
“Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you.”
and
“Remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.”

The Law of Attraction – “The Secret” Video Did Not Tell You Everything
Posted by Gordon on
May 16, 2008
A video entitled “The Secret” has helped more people to become aware of the law of attraction. That video has been discussed on numerous television shows, including the Oprah show.
All of that attention is good in one way, because of how the law of attraction can benefit each one of us.
However, it is not so good in another way because many of those discussions on television left out a few key points. I am being up-front when I say that the video, by itself, could be a little misleading as far as many people are concerned.
Please don’t misunderstand me; the video called “The Secret” is good and it describes the law of attraction, which is a powerful force that does exist and you can use it to help manifest whatever you desire.
This short video has some quotations from “The Secret.”
The key points that were not included in the television discussions are about taking action and unconscious blocks:
- Taking Action: Positive thoughts are good, but we should take some kind of action to move in the direction of whatever we want for the end result.
For example, losing weight is a goal for many of us, since an alarming percentage of the population is above their ideal weight.
Positive thoughts, along with actions such as cutting out second helpings, eating healthier snacks (if any snack), and exercising will be a winning (in this case, a losing) combination that has more chances of success than either thoughts or actions by themselves. - Unconscious Blocks: Thinking positive thoughts may not bring about the results we want right away if those positive thoughts are in conflict with part of our unconscious programming. There might be some unconscious beliefs that are counter-productive to the positive thoughts we think about on a conscious level.
When I started getting serious about my home business activities, I still struggled to make the income I had envisioned, or anywhere close to it. Positive thoughts and visualization were not helping that much. I finally came to realize that a boatload of unconscious programming was working against my positive thoughts and affirmations.
That counter-productive programming included a lot of things that I often heard my mother say, such as:
“Folks like us weren’t meant to be rich.”
“Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
“No sense thinking about what we can’t have.”
“We’ll never be rich, but we’ll always have a roof over our heads and food on the table.”
Wow! Love ya Mom, but you sure planted some negative ideas into a young child’s mind.
We should always have positive thoughts, but we might need to have even more positive energy and the confidence that it can happen to override and replace any negative or counter-productive programming that may have been implanted along the way.
The law of attraction is a “gotta-have” part of what you need in order to give yourself the best chance of having a successful home business.
