There are invisible magnets available to all human beings to manifest the things they desire in their life. This is the Law of Attraction, the belief that positive thoughts lead to positive outcomes while negativity births negative outcomes. Business leaders can achieve more by knowing how to apply it in their professional life.

It’s essential for a business leader to know what they truly want. The more specific the answer, the easier they can focus on what needs to happen to get them there. Sample goals may include growing after-tax revenue by 25 percent in one year, starting operations in Southeast Asia in six months, or having a 50 percent market share of subscribers. This ignites an unintentional hyper-focus that turns the wheel consciously (and subconsciously) to ensure things happen. It prepares the way to specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timebound (SMART) goals that all team members will work toward achieving.

Applying the Law of Attraction to business also involves focusing on gratitude and positive self-talk. It’s preferable that the prevailing voice in a person’s head be positive. Instead of being critical, emphasizing positive thoughts and nurturing them keeps the team motivated and confident of good expectations manifesting instead of things going wrong.

Business leaders also need to learn to communicate using language that reinforces positive outcomes. It’s best to use language that affirms a desired state instead of implying it for the future. Boxing legend Muhammad Ali provoked all kinds of reactions when he said “I am the greatest!” It was audacious, but it’s hard to argue that there has ever been a more socially relevant boxer in history.

These steps pave the way to build helpful habits that help a company or team build new ways of thinking that bring profound results. The Law of Attraction works.
