This past Saturday I called a friend to have lunch at a favorite local Thai restaurant. I was delighted when it opened in my area several years ago because I love good Thai food. Over the years I have eaten there many times with friends and no matter when I came, either for lunch or dinner, it always seemed to be lacking in a bustling clientele. I wondered if it would survive or go out of business. So, when I showed up on Saturday I was disappointed to find they had finally closed their doors for good.
First of all the location of the restaurant was terrible. It was in a small strip mall that was up a small hill and was difficult to see from the main road. If you didn’t know the restaurant was there, you might never find it. Oh yeah - not many people did! They did no local marketing with coupons, ads, or specials to let people know about them. The interior of the restaurant was dull, a little dingy, and dimly lit. I went because I liked the food and the prices were great. A friend of mine, who routinely met me there, felt the interior didn’t feel warm and welcoming.
Right down the road is a Japanese restaurant I’ve been to tons of times. They always draw a crowd. When you walk in you are immediately greeted and seated. The interior is brightly colored, well lit, and feels inviting. This restaurant is also located in a small strip mall that is newly built and right on the main road with easy access for parking. Not only is the restaraunt visible, they have a large sign right on the corner at the light. You can’t miss it. They advertise continually with coupons and specials.
My area is booming with real estate development and a great restaurant could really thrive with the right marketing and ambiance.
Two good restaurants - one attracts success and the other closes its’ doors. Luck? Location? Something more…..?
I’ve been talking a lot about The Law of Attraction lately. Not just because it’s such a hot topic. As you know, I talk a lot about how important it is to grow yourself if you want to grow your business so I devote a portion of my personal time on self development too. One of my favorite books is Ask And It Is Given by Abraham-Hicks. It’s all about applying The Law of Attraction and Intention. Since the beginning of the year my business has been growing steadily the more I have been deliberately working with attraction and changing my beliefs.
How’s your business?
Limping along? Teetering on the brink of success? Exploding with opportunities and new clients?
Look at your attitude. Do you have a success or failure mindset? What you believe and put your attention on is what you attract. It’s the Law of Attraction in action.
If you’re not happy with yourself or your life, take a look at what you’re attracting. That’ll give you clues to what you’re creating with your attitude. Awareness is the first step to making changes.
What you do with what you discover is up to you.
So, what are you attracting into your life?

Lorraine, I liked your article and I agree that when we work the Law of Attraction, attitude is very important in what we attract to us.
