Dream Coming True – The Secret In Business

Sweden30-something woman grateful to be living in the magic of life
Dear Universe, Rhonda and Secret Believers,
Thank you for all of your inspiration, for giving me joy to life and for making me realize that all I need to do in life is to decide what I really want, ask, believe receive and it will happen.
I have written previous stories on how I have applied The Secret to different parts of my life. I now also have a story to tell on how The Secret helped me realise one of my biggest dreams: to start my own business.
Being employed for many years I have always felt like I am looking for the perfect company to work for without finding it. I have always felt that I am far below my potential, and the past few years I have been lacking motivation, working only to have an income.
After reading The Secret I started to think about what I really wanted. Not thinking about circumstances or obstacles like I had done before but being able to decide without limitations made it really easy for me to realise that my true dream was to start my own business consultancy firm. I wanted to make strategic decisions, I wanted to rule my time and I wanted to open myself up to earn more money, so I asked the universe to manifest this dream. Within just a few weeks I got a lot of ideas and openings on how to do this. I was so happy I got high on gratefulness for my sudden inspiration. The problem now was just the financial part. Living pay check by pay check with no savings, and high amount of debt I was just getting by on my current salary. How could I possibly take the risk of quitting my job in this situation?
But since I was determined to start this business by autumn 2010, I simply left my problem to the Universe. Since my dream was to work more independently, I visualised myself with my laptop, working in my boyfriends house, in cafés in the cities of my best friends and in my mothers house (they all live in different places far away from where I currently work). I made a check from the bank of the universe with my new yearly income (about twice the sum I earn today) I truly believed it was going to happen.
Wanting to learn more about the Law of Attraction I have also read The Science of Getting Rich. And one phrase just got stuck in my mind. To get rich, even though you dont think you can get rich where you currently are you have to more than fill the place you are currently in. I started to put this into practice at work. Even though some tasks felt too easy and sometimes boring, I found a way to motivate myself to do them really well, always with a smile on my face. Every morning when driving to work I thanked the universe for my job, my wonderful colleagues and my income. Things started to feel good, I got my motivation back and it was around this time I got assigned the responsibility for one of the biggest and most important projects in the company. Knowing I was going to start my own business in the fall, I saw it as an interesting and fun challenge on the way.
As a part of opening myself up to the Universe, I have a philosophy of trying to do one new thing every day. This has worked miracles and it was this attitude that brought me to my first business opportunity. I said yes to try a new activity, with a colleague I havent been hanging out with before. It was great. And along came also this former colleague with whom I have lost contact but who is currently running her own successful consultancy firm. I was very interested in hearing about how she was doing and I told her I also had plans to start my own business. Then she immediately asked me if I would consider working as an independent consultant in a project she was involved in.
The project would start in the autumn 2010. It would pay twice the money I make in my current job. It would mean I could basically work when and where I wanted as long as the job is done. And the project would only be part time, so it would give me the time I needed to develop some of my other ideas into real business.
I knew that this was the universe responding to my wish!
I have just resigned from my employment. And since I have been focusing on more than filling my place in my current job my boss and colleagues want me to stay. Especially since everyone is happy with the result of the project I am managing. (I used The Secret here as well, by visualising my team members engaged and happy working towards our common goal). I am very happy about this because I see everyone I am currently working with as potential future customers. Now I know why you should always more than fill your place.
I would never have had the guts to start my own business if it wasnt for The Secret. Believing is key and it takes away the worry so that you can focus your efforts, energy and thoughts into prosperity and achieving what you want. My vision now is to help other companies use The Secret to have happier motivated employees and greater business success.
I am so grateful for the insights and courage The Secret has given me. And I am sooo looking forward to live the rest of my life in the magic of The Secret. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
