I’ve pointed out a few times in other posts that it’s not sufficient to simply think, or visualise yourself to success. You can’t simply sit around thinking about the dream car you want all day and expect it to arrive on your drive after a couple of weeks.

It is really important to focus your mind and your thoughts on what you are wanting, but you really need to focus on listening to yourself too. Your mind will give you clues that will prompt you in certain directions. For example, if you are focused on winning a new contract for your company, then visualise yourself: receiving it in the post; performing your service; standing and watching your trucks leaving the yard filled with your products; etc.

In itself, this isn’t enough. You’ve now got to begin to listen to your own tune and begin to notice the clues and cues you give yourself. Your emotional responses are a good place to start - you might be looking through the phone book and see a company that stands out for you. It might be that you’ve seen their logo out there a few times and for some reason it sticks in your mind. This could be your clue to pick up the phone and give them a call - it’s not that it’s “meant to be”, it’s your intuition telling you to follow a lead.

As you become good at noticing these cues, you’ll find that you are working less, but with much more purpose and it feels like you are in flow with life, rather than being swept along in it’s wake.

Now, I’m not saying that it’s possible to only make 1 phone call and speak to the right person, on the right day and be wealthy for ever more. That doesn’t feel like action at all! However, taking the steps to contact the people with whom you feel a connection or an inspiration to call is the beginnings of taking action. As with anything in life, the more action you take, the more you position yourself for success.

There are people in life who have a midas touch - in a world of 6 billion people, there are bound to be a few. It’s really about understanding how these people think and operate that helps you to have your own midas touch for your own life.

Listen to your intuition and learn to take action on your ideas and thoughts.
