Your Emotions are Indicators of Your Prosperity Attraction

For many people, when they are trying to attract prosperity, they do not yet see themselves with what they want and hence do not find it easy to attract it.
I remember around 16 years ago when I was first learning about manifesting and visualising, I visualised a computer that I wanted at the time. I had done this visualising on a Tuesday or Wednesday and that Friday I happened to be in a meeting with a company director and he offered me one of their computers.
You’d think that that was it and I had my computer? It wasn’t quite like that. He offered me a computer and it was one which was a very old one and not feasible to be used anymore. So, I put my intention back ‘out there’ and trusted it would be taken care of.
That lunchtime I passed a computer store and picked up one of their brochures and went for lunch in a nearby restaurant. As I read the brochure, on the back page I saw an offer for a computer which was just perfect and it had an interest-free credit arrangement which was just perfect for me at the time! Within a short period of time the computer and I were together exactly how I had envisioned it.
How is this any different from attracting any other type of ‘prosperity’? It’s not any different. It’s the same thing. If you can clearly see yourself with what you want (or at least not have an issue with clearly seeing yourself with what you want), you are more likely to attract it. The clarity that you envision is an indicator of a clear vibration you are offering the Universe for what you want. If you feel resistance about it or are uncomfortable when you think about it, there are aspects to turn your attention away from, and towards what you DO want.
When you are clearly aligned to what you want – and you will know this because you will be heading towards having the full-body excitement and anticipation for it, you won’t be having to ‘think’ about what you want, because you will be so in your moment and heading towards it. You will be living your now.
Envision what you want as clearly and powerfully and vividly as you can. The greater the emotion and more ‘real’ that it feels, the more powerful your vibration is in pulling in what you want. Regularly work on building this feeling to a better and better and more ‘real’ place. You will find along the way that you will have manifestations that occur, or you can just enjoy the happening of that which you want when it happens it in its entirety.
Know that you and what you want are on your way to meeting…

Social entrepreneurship in New Orleans
Robbie Vitrano
Robbie Vitrano is a co-founder and chairman of Trumpet, a venture marketing company that is a manifestation of the reinventing New Orleans. His point of view: New Orleans is the Social Innovation Silicon Valley, an urban microcosm of the economic, political, social, environmental and cultural issues being re-evaluated in the U.S. and around the world. As such, Trumpet has evolved its full-service brand communications disciplines to launch new ventures, incubating and developing them inside its 12,000 square foot renovated warehouse in the Creole district of the historic Faubourg St. John. Their work comprises advocacy, optimism and socially responsible capitalism.
Leaving a Legacy
Robbie Vitrano has trouble defining what he does for a living, but look almost anywhere in his hometown of New Orleans, and you will find his footprint.
It’s there at the Icehouse, a 12,000-square-foot, $1.5 million commercial real estate development in the once-flooded Seventh Ward. The building is owned by and serves as the headquarters for Trumpet, Vitrano’s branding agency. The development boasts an 80 percent occupancy rate; its 10 tenants include start-ups, nonprofits, and small companies that all share Vitrano’s passion for serving New Orleans.
Across town is Vitrano’s macrobiotic fast-food joint, Naked Pizza. When he discovered the place, in 2006, it was a single-store outpost called World’s Healthiest Pizza and was sorely in need of a makeover. “Their pizza box gave you a dissertation on your colon,” Vitrano, 47, says. He intervened, helped rebrand the business, and became a partner in the company last year. Naked Pizza has since begun selling franchises; it has six locations and plans to open about 75 to 100 more over the course of the next 12 months.

The value of being Authentic…

I had an interesting meeting with a CEO this week. Our discussion focused on his desire to develop his business Authentically but he was worried about the opinions of significant and vocal shareholders who are constantly pushing him for short-term profitability. He felt that board meetings had recently become something of a battle zone, and despite a track record of success he felt both insecure and angry that these shareholders are taking such a short-term perspective. This isn’t a new phenomenon of course, its a well known fact in publicly quoted companies, and is often one of the key reasons for under-investment.
Our conversation reminded me of an interview I heard recently with the owner of a Japanese family business that had been trading for more than 100 years. He attributed the long term success of the business to a philosophy of “growing like an oak tree not like a water melon….” He knew that slow organic growth made for a strong business with “A Heart of Oak”. He had seen many businesses that had pushed for aggressive and acquisitive growth that had failed or been taken over and integrated into other companies. I thought it was a good lesson for sustainable business.
But the Oak Tree metaphor didn’t really help my client… he could see the long term benefits, but he needed help to convince his shareholders that adopting an authentic approach can deliver increased shareholder value in the short-term too. So we sat down and brainstormed just some of the benefits, which include:-
Increased Sales
- increasingly customers seek to do business with sustainable companies, and with those that fulfill a social need;
- customers of authentic businesses tend to tell their family and friends and these word-of-mouth recommendations results in more business; and
- happy customers keep returning – so customer retention is higher.
Reduced Operating Costs
- a true sense of purpose helps everyone focus on core competence, and reducing distracting activities;
- marketing spend is lower since word-of-mouth overtakes advertising and special offers as the principal source of acquiring new customers;
- staff turnover is reduced – resulting in lower recruitment and training costs;
- staff feel more rewarded – since money isn’t their key motivator – resulting in greater productivity; and
- suppliers are more helpful since the respect you show earns their loyalty – they go that extra mile to deliver on time, help develop new products, and find joint ways to reduce total costs.
Improved Shareholder Value
- sustainable growth and steady contracts leads to increased P/E ratios;
- increased profitability is multiplied by the higher P/E ratios to deliver higher shareholder value; and
- business success attracts more potential buyers – increasing competitiveness in the buy cycle.
The above benefits now need to be quantified, but the CEO feels reassured that he can justify investing in developing an Authentic business strategy, and adopting Authentic leadership across the organisation… Is this an opportunity for you too?
Why not get in touch for an exploratory chat about the benefits that your organisation could get from Authenticity…

As a consumer I constantly look out for businesses that are distinctive, that offer value for money, that deliver great products and great customer service.
As a Business Designer I constantly look out for great companies as sources of inspiration, across all types of sectors, and use these as best-in-class examples to learn from.
Often the two coincide – I find businesses that really make me happy for some reason and share these with friends and family when they ask for word-of-mouth recommendations, and I also share them with my clients and use the things that make them unique to help create a vision of what they could be doing for their own customers. Increasingly I find myself drawn to Authentic businesses i.e. those who display a true sense of purpose, respect their stakeholder needs, act with integrity, are distinctive in their market, and are environmentally conscious.
I have started to develop a list of these inspiring companies, and included a blog-roll on the right where you can link straight through to their websites. If you search the web about any of them you will probably find other interesting comments and articles and video’s about them too.
Finally, I am constantly on the look out for more Inspiring Companies to learn from and so invite you to leave a comment and share your own sources of happiness and inspiration if you think they deserve mentioning…
