One Simple Step to Open Your Mind to Possibilities
Last week at my “Wake Up Profitable Intensive”, my clients learned how their invisible constraints can get in the way of developing a successful business as well as mindset systems and tools to clear those barriers. Invisible constraints are those self-limiting or self-sabotaging beliefs that we have developed over time based on our experiences yet we continue the same approach wondering why we keep running up against the same problems.
You may even find yourself spending more time and energy focused on what you don’t want rather than stating your intention on what you do intend to attract into your life. By no surprise, you end up attracting exactly what you are focused on.
Attracting what you do intend to invite into your life is simple. Still, people stop short of declaring what they desire because their inner critic or ego rises up and starts that self-sabotaging conversation, “But what if you don’t attract what you intend?” What I have learned is that the inner critic and ego are not your friends.
Instead of buying into that negative self-talk, state what you intend to invite into your life each day. Be as specific as possible. When I stated my intention of becoming a Best-Selling Author, I didn’t know HOW I would do it. I just stated my intention and desire with certainty. Before I knew it, I started to manifest what I intended to attract and the “how” showed up. The right people at the right time came into my life. Of course, I did the work and learned all I could about becoming a Best-Selling Author.
Within one year, my book, Me, Myself, and Why? The Secrets to Navigating Change, was sitting right next to Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup for the Soul and John Gray’s Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus on the Best-Sellers List. That’s what happens when you state an intention. It sparks a series of events bringing your intention into reality.
When your intention is combined with a mindset system of abundance, you start the wheels in motion. Remember to make your intention specific. You gain traction and momentum as things begin to align with your intention. Keep in mind that your intended result may change. You likely will attract results greater than you have imagined because you have opened your mind to the possibilities.
What is your intention?

What a great reminder, Lisa! The inner work that we do in the first day of the Wake Up Profitable Intensive is so valuable. I let go of a lot of frustration, overwhelm and self-sabotaging beliefs and lo and behold, I saw a clear path to accomplishing my vision. From here on in my affirmation and my intention are the same. “I am waking up profitable!” Thanks again Lisa for everything you do! – Jayne

It was my first time attending the “Wake Up Profitable Intensive”. When I first planned on attending I had it in my mind that this was a one time, get it done, event. I think the best thing I discovered, when I saw people there for the second and third time, is that I have time to succeed. I may not be waking up more profitable today however I am Waking Up Mentally Profitable which will lead to the Physically Profitable soon. I too am committing to Hawaii in 2015!!!
Lisam says
You’re right on, Jim. It starts with the Inner Entrepreneur – it’s a system leading you to profitability. Each day draws you closer to your intention. I will see you in Hawaii in 2015!

Even before your three-day “Wake Up Profitable Intensive” I already had the intention of taking a trip to Hawaii to photograph some of the islands I missed the first time.
Since I LOVED your three day it looks like I’ll be coordinating my ‘Photo Safari’ with your 2015 Hawaii trip, bigger blocks of time in Hawaii are best 🙂
I just may need to do a scouting trip first 😉
Lisam says
So looking forward to seeing your photos. A scouting trip is definitely in the works! 🙂
