Discover the Gratitude Process for Increasing Cash Flow
Author: Sharon Marsh  | Posted: 16-08-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 5 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
To succeed in business, your chances for success increase if you have in place a business plan and business systems. In addition to these foundational pieces for business success, another area that is often overlooked but is critical for building a profitable business is the conditioning of a business owner's mindset.
There are many methods and philosophy's to do this. One method that is effective and easy to implement is based on gratitude. Wallace D. Waddles, in his book The Science of Getting Rich, expresses his views as follows: "The grateful mind continually expects good things and expectation becomes fate." To expand on Waddles statement, one can look within their own life to find things to be grateful for. One can condition one's mind to continually seek out and find these things to be grateful for. After awhile, one begins to do this on an every day basis, going beyond the looking-for-things-to-be-grateful-for phase to the expectation phase that good things will be present in ones life to be grateful for.
Ron Rogers from The Ron Rogers Group, Inc was in a situation where he had a customer that had not paid him for services rendered. Rogers was worried that the customer was not going to pay and he continued to worry. The customer finally ended up having to file bankruptcy and never did pay Rogers. That was exactly what Rogers was focusing on and it's exactly what happened. The customer did not pay Rogers.
Realizing that, as a business owner, his mindset was focused on something in his business that he did not want; Rogers began to work on reconditioning his mind. On a daily basis, he started using the gratitude process where he began writing down everything in his business he was grateful for. He wrote down and clearly defined what he wanted for his business. This time Rogers wrote that he wanted to increase his cash flow by creating more referral business.
Rogers wrote in his journal that he was grateful for a specific customer. He was grateful for all the value that he was providing for that customer. He was grateful that this customer was paying him on time and that this customer was happy with his work. Even though he wasn't receiving referrals he wrote that he was grateful that this customer was creating a positive buzz about his work and that this customer is referring people to his business.
After a few weeks, referrals began to come in to Ron's business and cash flow increased. Ron was able to take what he already was grateful for in his business, write it down and make it much more powerful by using the gratitude process. He conditioned his mind to attract what he wanted in to his business and life by using gratitude.
Another powerful way to enhance the gratitude process is to take a special object, which is small enough to carry in your pocket, and use it as a touching point to remind you throughout the day what you are grateful for in your life. In the movie The Secret, a rock was used as the special gratitude object. One can use, in place of the rock, a locket, a coin, even a piece of ribbon. Each morning, as you place the object in your pocket and every time you touch the object, think about what you currently have in your life that you are grateful for. At the end of the day, when you empty your pockets, think of your day and all the things that you were happy to have experienced or received.
Other people prefer to use a visual reminder as part of their gratitude process. One method is to place small colored pieces of masking tape around their house (i.e., door knobs, bathroom mirrors, refrigerator handle, on a hair brush, etc
