UNIVERSAL GUIDE TO NETWORKING: The Twecret: How Twitter helps you engage the Law of Attraction

Universal Guide to Networking with Terry Bean

Have you seen the movie or read the book “The Secret”? It came out in late 2006 and was a run-away smash. It’s primary focus is engaging the universal law known as the Law of Attraction. Simply stated, the Law of Attraction is the idea that our thoughts are electromagnetic and that the things we focus on are attracted into our lives.

This isn’t always great news for many people. If you accept this theory you have taken accountability for your circumstances. That means that you are responsible for the good (easy to do) and responsible for the bad (a lot less easy) in your life. Are you ready for that? Everything happens for a reason. Invariably that reason is you.

So enough of the background and what the heck does this have to do with Twitter? Well, funny I should ASK (HAHA). The process “The Secret” laid out was 3 steps:

1. Ask- Make your specific requests known to the universe

2. Gratitude- Be grateful for the things you have and are about to get

3. Receive-Behave as if your desires have become your reality

One of the most common terms used when referring to the whole of the twitter users is the Twitterverse. Many people share the things they want to receive and achieve there. Sometimes those requests get responded to by other tweeps. Other times, they just float off into the twitterverse.

It’s interesting that the movie focused so heaving on the “right thinking” part of the LOA (Law of Attraction). The reality is, there is a whole “Right Action” part too. Think about it, you can’t spell Attraction without Action. Letting your requests be known is part of that right action. You never know who in the twitterverse may be able to connect you with exactly what you seek exactly when you seek it. The beauty of it is that regardless if anyone responds, the universe is fully aware of the twitterverse and thereby your requests when posted as tweets.

Next time you have something that you are looking to attract into your life, test it out. Go to twitter and type: Today I am ready to attract…Let me know of your results with it.

UNIVERSAL GUIDE TO NETWORKING: The Twecret: How Twitter helps you engage the Law of Attraction

UNIVERSAL GUIDE TO NETWORKING: If you don't know what to ask for, don't be surprised when you don't get it.

Universal Guide to Networking with Terry Bean

If you have seen/read The Secret or have practiced using the law of attraction in any way, you know the first thing they have in common with networking: if you don't ask, you don't get. Both networkers and the universe want to give to you. The better you are at asking for what you truly want, the more likely you are to receive it.

Do you know what you want? Is it more clients? Maybe you need more referral partners. Perhaps it's a new staff member that can take your business to new levels. Whatever it on that list, get clear on it. Prioritize it. Understand who is likely to help you find what you seek. Most importantly, be comfortable asking.

If you are an active networker, you will be meeting lots of people. Some are folks you have known for a while. Others are brand new to you. Hopefully you are taking the time to ask them how you can help them (you are, right?). If you do the work of being interested prior to being interesting, most times they will ask you how they can help you too.

This is your chance to get what you seek. Two things happen when you make your specific asks known. First, as you tell an individual or a group of people what you want, you are actually giving to them. Yes, it's true. Allowing others the opportunity to help us is an act of giving. Don't agree? Check out my last piece ( Why Giver's Gain?) on the concepts of the law of reciprocity and the law of generosity. Hopefully that clears it up.

The second thing that happens when you ask is that you affirm your order with the universe.

So here you are asking people for what you seek. If you know about your audience, you can tailor your ask. Increase the odds of having your ask come to fruition by making it relevant to the people who are there. If you don't know your audience, (you can have an audience of one) ask for the number one thing on your list. You never know who others know until you ask them.

It's amazing how powerful having a succinct, specific and relevant ask is when you use it. Try it. Try it often. Watch how people want to help when you let them.
